| Speakers for Devialet Don't get sucked into all the luddites front end arguments - one of the many distinct advantages of the Devialet is it's incredible DAC and built in streaming via Ethernet or wifi. With Devialet Air 3,04 (just released) running on your MacBook you... | |
| Speakers for Devialet I'd suggest upgrading your cables - Analysis Plus are a great match with Devialet as are Wireworld.If you like the Audio Physics try their new models. Avantera for example. Beyond that I'd suggest the Focal range, Sopra or Utopia or Magico's. | |
| Help choosing integrated Devialet - You wont find better. Equal may be Solution or Boulder separates.From the intro D220 to the D1000 Pro they're world class in every way AND you wont need a DAC, streamer or a million cables.A real match with Focal eespecially as you mov... | |
| Integrated vs Separates, New vs Used - Rogue Audio, Simaudio, McIntosh??? Input Needed! Buy a pair of KEF LS50 wireless now and when you're ready take a look at the Devialet Expert line especially with Focals though they play spectacularly with anything you pair them with. You'll get all the soundstage and dynamics you can wish for ... | |
| Devialet Expert Long Term Experience? I've yet to hear anything better than Devialet - the D200 is spectacular, the D400 better and the D800/1000 genuinely world class. For real world budgets the D200 is light years ahead of anything else. The sound has resolution and detail equal t... | |
| Cables for Focal 1008be2 Pure copper seems to work well. I can wholeheartedly recommend Analysis Plus Solo Crystal 8 speaker cables - I have Focal Utopia Diablo's, so not so far from the sound of your 1008's. Paired with my Devialet I'm closer to ideal than anything I've... | |
| devialet amps questions Your best bet for all things Devialet is www.devialetchat.com - there's a TON of info there.You'll find the streaming is via Devialet's own app than runs on iOS, OSX or Windows, TIDAL or ROON will then output to that and then that to the Expert. ... | |
| KEF Reference 1 Having heard (and owned) a huge spectrum of the current high-end speakers out there, I feel reasonably confident to reply.Most recently, in search of the ever elusive "right-sound" I ended up with a pair of Focal Utopia Diablo's. KEF Blades, Ref ... | |
| Power cable recommendations under $1k I’ll add a vote for Wireworld Silver Electra Series 7 - easily bested Shunyata Alpha Ztron and PS Audio PS12 in a recent back to back test. Super high resolution and still manages to be very well balanced with tight, deep bass and sweet, soaring h... | |

| Advice on speaker pairing with my Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum using KT120 output tubes. I've heard both Harbeth P3ESR and Focal 1008BE sound stunning on the Cronus Magnum. I've heard the Ryan many times with other amps and it's always super smooth. However, if you like resolution and transparency with amazing timbre without sacrifi... | |
| Amp for Focal Electra 1008Be I heard the Focal 1008Be paired with a Rogue Chronus Magnum at Stereotypes AV here in Portland - I'd spent a wonderful afternoon auditioning ARC Ref75 SE and Devialet D200 with Sopra No2's and Utopia Scala's and happened to spot this setup in thei... | |
| £15k $22k to spend on speakers...but which? With that front end I'd suggest used Rockport Altria/Avior, Magico S3 or 5 (but Q3 should one appear at the right price easily bests them), or Focal Utopia Scala.Can't really go wrong with any unless you've a tiny room?All are a significant step u... | |
| Any thoughts on passive v. active speakers? Try auditioning some of the Meridian line of speakers. Each is right at the front of mixed systems in their price range and are absolute bargains at their used prices.Meridian have been doing the active thing longer than almost anyone.The DSP 8000... | |
