Sonus Faber Olympica G3 3
@dayglow Haven't heard anything like that.  From what we saw with our Olympica Nova sales and heard from the company over the life of them is that the II didn't sell very well vs the I and III.   We did get the V in yesterday (still waiting on th... 
Sonus Faber Olympica G3 3
We have had the III's for a few weeks and they completely blew us away.  Some of the lower end Sonus Faber (Lumina and Sonetto) we can find a few notable faults with...  However, the new G3 Olympicas are utterly spectacular.  We have the V on thei... 
New from Klipsch - Large Bookshelf Heritage Rebellion
We have a pair on order and are very excited to get our demos.   Klipsch seems to be doing everything right lately, and are making the best products they've ever made by far.   Always thought a heritage bookshelf would be a really cool option.  W... 
Visited a Store and was shunned
Did he literally say the phrase "no way" or just give that vibe?  If so, that's insane, even if you smelled like a port-a-potty.  Can't imagine saying that to someone who comes in and just asks to hear something. That's the entire point of the bus... 
REL Classic 98
T9X to a pair of Classic 98 would absolutely be a downgrade.  That's not the right move.  Get another T9X.  Classic 98 takes up about the same amount of room and is if anything more visually intrusive.  It's a cool sub if you want that look, but t... 
Supplementing KEF Ref 3 METAs
TWO of the KUBE 10/12 MIE would be a far far better option.  Unless you desperately need a micro sub, you're giving up SO much performance to save space.   We sell a lot of R3 Meta + subs systems.  It can almost sound end game when set up right (... 
Trinnov Amethyst
Very satisfying to see people becoming wise to how good this product is.  And even more so, realizing that there’s so much “audiophile” BS against EQing, room measurements, room correction, internal streamers/dacs, etc Glad you saw the light.  Th... 
Ceiling Speaker Selection - Dali Phantom K-80 or Kef CI200QR?
We love both -- but the K80 are our favorite in ceiling speakers ever.  We also have the new M80, and they are better in a lot of ways, but if you want a more full range sound, the K80 seem to do a little better with that.  There is something so ... 
KEF Q11 vs. R11
R11 Meta are absolutely worth the price difference.  It’s diminishing returns of course. The Q11 Meta are absolutely unreal on their own, especially for the money.  They are "darker" sounding than the R11 Meta’s, but the R11’s aren’t bright at al... 
Revel F36 or Dali Oberon 7
Chiming in here as the largest DALI dealer in North America and ex Revel dealer. The Oberon 7 are really fun musical speakers. For DALI, we feel that the Opticon 6 mkII is the most enjoyable and musically satisfying speaker at the price point by... 
Burn Twetter Speaker
Every response so far is pretty much spot on. You absolutely need a more powerful amp, and I wouldn't be surprised if you ALSO need speakers that can handle playing as loud at you probably play.  How big is the room you are playing in?   
What would I gain/lose?
Why not get a pair of Opticon 6 mk2?  They're the best speakers dollar for dollar that we have ever heard, and will have a similar sound (but better) than the dual Vokal setup you have going.  Given how you are using the system, I would also stro... 
Upgrade speakers or DAC
Unless your DAC is from 1997, a new DAC will make approximately ~1% of the difference new speakers (or treating your room) will make.   
Where to find OEM Dali Epicon woofer?
Hey John, check your private messages.  Just sent you some info that will hopefully help!  
What’s your opinion about Dali speakers?
The new Dali Rubikore speakers are actually better than the 10 year old outgoing Epicon (less than half the price in most instances).  Aside from the cabinet design of course.  Although the new Rubikore finishes are gorgeous, it is still a "box." ...
