| Amplifier ideas with KEF Reference 1 @georgehifi The Benchmark AHB2 is not an integrated. It is an amp only. I use it in my office.@audiotroy Is the 14 x 10 room adequate for the KEF Ref 1? The room seems a little small to me. | |
| How to filter Audiogon results to Canada only. If you are close to the border why not have it delivered to a town nearby (FedEx or UPS store) and pick it up yourself. You will be opening yourself up to a lot more potential sellers. I have shipped and bought a few amps from Canada and have not ... | |
| The Music Room Sold a few items to them. Excellent experience. | |
| Thinking of Kef Blade 2 to replace Revel Salon 2 I owned the Salon 1 in a great room for over 5 years. It was enjoyable but not the best I had heard at that time. I later heard the Thiel CS 3.7 and thought that was a much better speaker than the Salon 1. I then heard the Blade1 and felt that was... | |
| There used to be a guy who repaired and updated Sony SCD-1 players. https://positive-feedback.com/Issue39/vsei.htmMy SCD-1 mods were done by this group, specifically Warren Gregoire out of the Bay Area. See the contact info at the bottom of the link. | |
| Amplifier ideas with KEF Reference 1 @keoliphant Based on your responses I would think the Luxman 509x will be what you end up with. I never gave too much consideration on looks for audio gear but that Luxman has super model looks to it. The loudness button on the Luxman 509x would a... | |
| Amplifier ideas with KEF Reference 1 @keoliphant I have also invested a little bit of money into my office system. I originally had LS50’s powered by PeachTree Nova 150 integrated. I moved that system to the bedroom and now have the Audience 1+1 V2+ speakers driven by a single Benchm... | |
| Suggestions for Full Range Speakers up to 10K The Peachtree is a very good unit (I have the 150 in the bedroom). I would not worry about that unit and concentrate on using remaining funds on other components. | |
| What makes a speaker sound great at low volume? I am thinking of getting the Luxman 509x for my office and one of the big reasons for it is the Loudness switch. It would help big time when I am working in my office at 3AM. | |
| LS-50 Speakers (Passive) I finally got around to comparing my passive KEF LS50’s ($1500) with the Audience ClairAudient 1+1 V2+ loudspeaker ($2345) using the same electronics (my office system). http://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/audience-clairaudient-11-v2-loudspea... | |
| No-one talks about Rowlands anymore Thanks for the feedback.The Jeff Rowland 625 S2 amplifier vs the Luxman M900u would be very interesting comparison to me since the m900u is the amp I have been targeting to get for my big rig system for some time. After reading Guido's feedback ... | |
| Mola Mola dac Anybody have the Tambaqui DAC? I am interested in finding out if the Ethernet connection on the DAC allows for direct stream into the DAC via something like ROON. I currently use the Sonare microRendu and the Sonic Orbiter to stream via Ethernet ... | |
| No-one talks about Rowlands anymore Can anyone get into some details on the type of Class D implementation for the Daemon and/or M535 mono block. Are they NCore? Anyone compare the sound quality of either to the 825 Stereo Amp? | |
| Amps for KEF Blade 2 KEF uses a variety of amps to demo the Blades. The latest love connection seems to be with Hegel. The new Hegel 590 integrated and the Blade have some sort of development deal. | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? Did not read this thread but here is my 2 cents. I am going to buy the BENCHMARK HPA4 HEADPHONE / LINE AMPLIFIER unheard and unseen (just released). I already have the Benchmark AHB2 amp. I will buy 1 more of these amps to run in mono mode, I wi... |
