| KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way @mapman Congratulations on your new LS50 metas!Those look like the original LS50s in the photos.Also, it looks like a near equilateral triangle set up with no toe in. Do you have your new LS50 metas set up the same way?I have the original LS50s an... | |
| Swarming! Congrats on your Swarm setup benzman!Glad to hear your listening room is done after all those delays! | |
| Help me understand "the swarm" in the broader audiophile world @noble100 Always a +1! +1 also to millercarbon for his advocacy in addressing the simple, inexpensive (and at times free) tweaks that most of us tend to ignore. I would just add for those out there attempting the sub elevation route to do the ... | |
| Tekton Design Moab @oldhvymec I have 2 day till my surgery, I want to be happy if I’m gonna die or not!!they’re giving me a 25% chance, I’ll take it... Was just backtracking through this thread and saw this.I am relatively new to this forum but have always enjoyed... | |
| Help me understand "the swarm" in the broader audiophile world @tyray Thanks!Yes, I do have the swarm.I have my mains placed on the long wall with a ceiling facing sub in each front wall corner.These two subs are on the top of metal shelf units. What's nice is being able to place a monoblock lower down on eac... | |
| Help me understand "the swarm" in the broader audiophile world @tyray Then reading more in agon Duke did suggest to the things he told you to do with your subs, then I can't remember if it was Duke on some other reading but 'if you can raise one up towards the ceiling'. What!Yes, that was Duke who suggested ... | |
| Help me understand "the swarm" in the broader audiophile world @mapman That’s a nice collection of speakers you are rotating.What determines which ones get played?I have ls50s. Interested in your impressions versus others.Thanks. Other than having fun swapping around gear, nothing really determines which get ... | |
| Update on Audiogon Member Almarg I am still somewhat new here but have always enjoyed reading and learning from Al's posts.So sorry to hear this news!I would like to express my deepest, heartfelt condolences to Margaret and family. | |
| Help me understand "the swarm" in the broader audiophile world @northmanOthers have indicated valid possible answers to your question regarding DBAs being (or rather not being) offered at dealers.So I will just share with you my experience with the Swarm.My first listening room had a low ceiling and was 10 x ... | |
| What solid state power amp are you using with your Harbeth Super HL5+ speakers? @routeman21 I have driven my SHL5+ 40ths with:Bryston BP26 pre > Forte1A (class A 50 wpc) Bryston BP26 pre > Michael Yee Audio PA-1 (class A/B dual mono 100 wpc) Bryston BP26 pre > Ampzilla 2000 2nd Edition (class A/B 300 wpc monobloc... | |
| Speaker advice for first hi-fi setup - Monitor Audio Gold vs. KEF R series! @parabola82 - Agree 100% with pjr801 on the LS50s.I have a pair that, after some placement adjustments, sound great in terms of warmth and a bit of weight.On another note, I also have Harbeth SHL5+40th Anniversaries that do what the LS50s do but b... | |
| Swarming! Well it certainly improved my sub million dollar LRS, LS50s, Ologe5s, B&W Matrix 801S2s and now my new Harbeth SHL5+40ths.A Harbeth 40.2 review in The Absolute Sound pointed out that while this speaker does not need subwoofers, it will greatly... | |
| Tekton Design Moab MC - You’re right, forgot they’re powered. So much the better.How would the 4-10’s be configured in a DBA?I have a second Dayton and was thinking about calling Duke for 4 more subs so I would have DBA enhancements in a second system.What are the b... | |
| Michael Yee Audio Yeah, I might just sell both.Was thinking about setting up a second system with the amp.But am just realizing the necessary room treatments and furniture rearranging for the other room.Guess I will just stay with my current system for a while. | |
| Michael Yee Audio @dill - So is the PA-1 class A/B?I do like the sound of the amp. It seems better at driving Maggies than the Forte 1A.Jury is still out on which I prefer but still very curious about this amp. |
