| Speaker sensitivity vs SQ OP, you are correct, the John DeVore video does not answer your original question. And for me it is a useful tool to dig deeper into your question. So, why don't manufacturers make efficient speakers? You might want to next ask, how do we determin... | |
| Speaker sensitivity vs SQ b_limo1, great video, have seen it once before. Interesting perspective.tomic601, When you say "don't confuse low sensitivity with poorly engineered load". I feel they are closely related. And I believe this is John DeVore's point in the video. I ... | |
| Lansche plasma tweeter replacement every 5000 hours. I have not heard them, but with how 2020 went down, I put a lot more hours on my speakers than the year before. I might be needing a second set of new tweeters very soon. So for the maintenance alone I would steer clear. | |

| Not Thrilled with Vandersteen 2CE Sigs - where is the first place to work on? Regarding your preamp, do you have another source like a CD player or turntable to test with or can you borrow one? If another source sounds good then maybe it's not the pre. For your digital source, I put in a Node 2i hard wired ethernet and ditc... | |
| Upgrade: will I hear it? A new DAC may help, but IMHO, your Marantz may be the problem with your 2CH enjoyment. The 8802 is about as good of a pre as any receiver can be, but still not a match for a good dedicated pre. I know you said you do not want to mess with tubes, I... | |
| Need a preamp, new or used. I'll second using a tube preamp. Trying different tubes can help customize the sound signature and can help mitigate high frequency fatigue. They also may help improve on the imaging. | |
