| Looking for my Final Pair!! Not sure the Cornwall IV will have enough detail for you coming from B&W. B&Ws are crazy detailed but kind of in a colored way of tipped up upper mids. The cornwalls are kind of nothing but the facts. The sound stage is also very different... | |
| Kef Blades (1), being auditioned...please share your experience. Honestly I feel what you hear is similar with the Kefs. I can’t comment with the blades as I did not spend much time with them (as they were more than I wanted to spend) but I felt like the Reference 3 had a similar sound. The mids lacked dynamics... | |
| Now I am in a Delimma They those things need subwoofers for sure. 60z and down is so important to music. | |
| Thiel CS1.6 Has anyone ever substituted a new woofer for the original? I changed the tweeter/mid on my Thiel 2.4cs (dented when I bought them). It took less than 20 minutes and sounded just like new. $200 driver by the way. Well worth fixing. | |
| Anyone Successfully Go from Floor Standers to Bookshelf Monitors w/ Subs? Subs and monitors take up more room than just floor standers. I am of the option that subs integrate best with large speakers. The power band transition between the two is closer. I would just get some floor standers she likes the look of. Sonus f... | |
| Music format for bringing to audition/demo I would just bring what ever you are listening too that week. | |
| Schiit Saga+...What’s the point of the tube? I have had similar experiences with tube buffers. I could not hear a difference.I have found the quality of the volume control to trump everything else in the preamp regardless of the rest of the design. | |
| REL subs with Acoustat 1+1s? The Rel will not limit the signal to the mains. Just the sub. You would need an external active crossover like the JL CR-1. I would get a pair of JL audio E112. They have built in crossovers. You send the preamp out to the sub. Then the sub out to... | |
| iPhone/iPad good as a source, or get a streamer? Just use the phone it sounds fine. I pretty much use an iPhone hooked to a mojo. The mojo poly looks nice too. It would turn the mojo into a “steamer” if you wanted. I failed a blind test of my Mac mini hooked to the mojo via tosslink and the mojo... | |
| Best Wireless ear buds for SOUND..??! Sony?everyone I have tired sucks. That is the way it is. Use a cord I guess. | |
| Newbie HiFi Headphone & Amp pairing suggestions I owed the LCD-X, HD800S, Focal Elex, Grado PS500e, Th900 all at the same time more or less, and a few others I have lost track of. The only ones I still own are the Focal Elex and the Grado PS500e. Has have owned burson, head-amp, headroom amps, ... | |
| McIntosh MA7900 DA1 DAC vs. DA2 DAC vs. external Dtximages,thanks, for the feed back. Always interested to hear about unknown speakers compared to a speaker I know a bit (Kef). I am not a big kef fan. I feel like they lack dynamics. I can see why people like them though. I have spent some time w... | |
| McIntosh MA7900 DA1 DAC vs. DA2 DAC vs. external As a side note did you like the Kefs for tektons better? | |
| McIntosh MA7900 DA1 DAC vs. DA2 DAC vs. external I have not used the qutest but was interested in one at one point based on good experience with the mojo. Anyway doing research (reading not listening) I came to the conclusion that the benchmark DAC3 sounds very similar but has more detail. Havin... | |
| First HIFI system Probably more confused than regretful. Welcome to the worlds most cynical audio forum where opinions are facts. |
