| Amplifier pairing for Altec Flamencos @kuribon Thanks for your input. I sold the speakers back to their former owner who I think regretted ever parting with them. I have rotated in some Heresy IV speakers that fit more comfortably in my space. I don’t think the Heresy’s are by any mea... | |
| Noir album recommendations You might like the Night Walks album by Hidden Orchestra or the Twin Peaks album by Angelo Badalamenti. | |
| need advice for new/used avr I went ahead and pulled the trigger on a half priced factory refurbished Denon AVR X2800H. It has a 1yr factory warranty and a 2 yr extended warranty- so hopefully anything that goes wrong will happen in that timeframe. | |

| The Hidden Gem at Capital Audio Fest (CAF) 2023! @bouncehit , I heard the Endow Audio speakers at the Tampa Audio Show in February and thought they sounded extremely good. I think they had the big ones playing though. They sounded so good that I did think hard about the smaller ones, but it wo... | |
| COINCIDENT FRANKENSTEIN 300B STEREO @charles1dad I have been considering whether to get the new Coincident Frankenstein 300B stereo amp or a used pair of older Coincident Frankenstein 300B monoblocks. Does anyone have an opinion on which ones would pair better with my vintage A... | |
| I feel it is time to upgrade my 1977 system....... I have Altec Flamencos and recently asked for some advice on amplifiers that you might find helpful. Coincident Frankensteins and Music Reference were recommended for my speakers as well. Also Atmasphere thought that his class d monoblock amps wor... | |
| Amplifier pairing for Altec Flamencos @alexberger Thanks for the Jeff Day page. I am going to search for a new tube amp based on everyone's input and see what i can come up with. I will try and update the post once the upgrade is made. | |

| Amplifier pairing for Altec Flamencos @atmasphere Thanks for your input. Do you think your new class D mono blocks would be a good fit for the 16 ohm Altecs? Or should I stick with a tube amplifier for this speaker? I think my current tube amp falls within the parameters you outlined... | |
| Something other than Harbeth SHL5 You may want to pay a visit to Soundlux in south Florida if you haven't already. They have the full Audio Note line of speakers. I think they may have a pair of Fleetwood Devilles in the store as well that you could audition. I heard the Josep... | |
| Thiel 3.5 vs Klipsch Forte IV Speaker choice @big_greg sounds like you have already walked down the road ahead of me. I do like the Kefs. I will add the ref 1s to my list to consider. I imagine I would need a better amp as well for the Kefs? However, I did get the tube gear to try out some ... | |
| Thiel 3.5 vs Klipsch Forte IV Speaker choice Thanks @jafant , I will check out the thread. The vandersteens and Spatials were great when I had them in a 500 sf room but unfortunately, my new music room is only 238 sf. | |
| Thiel 3.5 vs Klipsch Forte IV Speaker choice @soix thanks for the Verity suggestion. It does look like best of both worlds. @roxy54 @arafiq thanks for further confirmation of Verity as something I should consider. @carlsbad I originally switched to tubes to try out high efficiency speake... | |
| Using Qobuz with Bluesound 2i @oddiofyl Now that I have been able to sign in properly on my Node, I can clearly hear the benefits of Qobuz. Have waited in vain for years for Spotify to add cd quality. Soundiiz has successfully converted all my playlists to Qobuz which made ... |
