| Wilson Audio Duette / Custom Crossover Upgrade mateo4343 2 posts 03-23-2026 at 06:18pm Hey, do you still have those Duetts? Why haven’t you said anything after upgrading the crossover with the Duolands? Didn’t it turn out the way you expected—are they not sounding as great as you’d ... | |

| 2026 Florida International Audio Expo Feb 20-22 I’ll be checking out both Pass rooms I see with gear… and one of the rooms has a very special little magic box… | |
| 2026 Florida International Audio Expo Feb 20-22 I love it when the triggering happens and they start howling at the moon. I’m also glad they won’t be here. Native Floridians like me DO NOT CARE WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT FLORIDA. THANK YOU for staying away… and allowing Florida to live rent fr... | |
| Shunyata Ethernet Cable User Experience- Delta vs Theta If the Theta speaker cables are any indication of the performance of the entire Theta line then the ethernet cable is worth a try. I have Theta speaker cables and have been extremely impressed. Currently comparing them against Cardas Clear. G... | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. toddalin 294 posts 01-25-2025 at 02:10pm The problem as I see it is that you can’t really compare the changes he makes because you can’t A/B them in real time with the before version. And, anyone who spends a bunch of $$$ for a modificatio... | |
| ???What's The LEAST Expensive "End Game"Amplifier You've Ever Heard??? Ahh... missed the "Integrated" part. Although I have not heard them, I would immediately look at the Coda CSiB, Wells Audio, Aesthetix Mimas, and Ayre Acoustics EX-8 2.0. Non integrated: Ayre Acoustics MX-R (not Twenty) mono amps ~$6500 used. ... | |
| Open baffle speakers I have friends with Lii speakers. They think they sound great... meanwhile all I hear is "HONK". The primary factor for them cutting a piece of plywood and mounting a big Chinesium driver was... as usual: PRICE. And I also know this... "The frus... | |
| Open baffle speakers deep_333 1,285 posts 10-05-2024 at 03:43am Danny knows some stuff and is probably capable of designing a box speaker that can blow someone’s socks off too. But, the latter would end up costing more than what his target market would be w... | |
| Dodd Audio Preamp Here’s a picture I took of Danny’s setup when I visited in March. You’ll see Danny’s Dodd preamp there. Kinda hard to "demo" GR Research NX-Treme speakers because they are so big. These are setup in a large room he’s remodeling. I think they may... | |
| Solid State preamp Brands larryi 3,911 posts 09-29-2024 at 10:23pm I am a tube gear fan. While I don’t think Ayre gear sounds particularly like tube gear, and their stuff is not tonally warm, I like their sound for some reason. I bet I know what you mean... it... | |
| Solid State preamp Brands I have a bunch of Ayre equipment, and have owned tube gear for a long time including a Joule Electra LAP 150 preamp. For the Ayre stuff, at around $2k used - K-5xeMP. That is not their Variable Gain Tech, but it is REALLY good. Absolutely black h... | |
| Are REL the most Musical Subs? I wonder... how many people have experienced servo controlled subwoofers? I do mean "experienced". I've heard sealed and an open baffle triple stacked pair of 12" servo subs... it's the best bass I've ever heard. It is not even "just a little b... |
