| Sound System on $10K Budget Like most of the previous posters have said, settling on a speaker sound first is the best choice along with dedicating 50% or so of your budget to them. That being said, the Philharmonic BMR Towers are a fantastic choice at around $4k. Looking ... | |
| How much gear do you own? Not as much since I gave my brother in law and older 5.0 speaker set. But I still have a center channel, two headphone amps, a DAC, and several headphones stored in a closet which don't get used. | |
| Revel Ultima Salon opinions @soix Thanks for the reply and suggestions. I am not sure if any of those are available here in Vietnam. | |
| Revel Ultima Salon opinions @james633 @steve59 Thanks for the replies. I will keep looking for deals on newer models. Cheers. | |
| Revel Ultima Salon opinions @toddk31 Thanks for the reply and info. Not being to get replacement parts does make the purchase a bit more risky. Valuable information. | |
| Passive vs Active...Again! The SVS Prime Wireless 2.1 system seems to offer a lot of sound quality for the money. https://www.svsound.com/products/prime-wireless-2-1-speaker-system | |
| Products you added to your system in 2021 that made most impact to your music enjoyment I switched from a Schiit Modi Multibit ver 1 DAC to an old SMSL M8 DAC that I had from a previous headphone desk top set up. The Schiit gave things a muddy boomy bass. The SMSL M8 cleaned up the bass without taking anything away from the mids an... | |
| Sexiest New 'Vintage'-Style Integrated/Amp/Receiver +1 for the high end Yamaha sexiness. Also big ups to the recent fancy Technics | |
| Listening to music I don’t particularly like Diana Krall. I would certainly never have gotten any Diana Krall if I had not started chasing the audiophile sound. | |
| Thoughts on having 2 different sized subs in same room Why that subwoofer? Why not one of the new SVS subwoofers that allow of DSP control throught their phone app? | |
| Is advice from a constant upgrader to be avoided Try to separate the good from the bad. There is some good info here but it is important to pick and choose. Some folks here have a very tenuous relationship with reality so be careful. | |
| Ready For Digital Source...Computer? On this forum you are always going to get lots of opinions regardless of how sound your position might be. You can make a test for little or no money. If you have an old laptop or PC (both free if you already own them) and a DAC (maybe you alrea... | |
| Magico A5 or Sonus faber SERAFINO TRADITION or Harbeth 40.3 XD Damn dude, you are going to be hard pressed to get much better than the F228Be without spending a whole more. Maybe $25k isn't enough. Good luck! Hope the music never stops! | |
| Magico A5 or Sonus faber SERAFINO TRADITION or Harbeth 40.3 XD Of those three I would go with the Magico first and then Sonus Farber. I don't think the Harbeth are a great match for your music. I would also add the Revel PerformaBe F328Be to your list of speakers to consider. I am listening to GarciaL... | |
| Ready For Digital Source...Computer? An older windows laptop and a good dac are a great choice for folks with lots of music on hard drives. Use Foobar2000 and the related Foobar2000 remote control for smart phones and it is super convenient. Set up Windows sharing across your home ... |
