    ZMF Caldera Headphone Review

    Yes it kind of is. I really like my HD600's with the low bass EQ'd up to flat, the small midbass bump flattened, and the most fatiguing 1khz-4khz about 2db below flat. But I just got some Auteur classic's and even without EQ, the sub bass extension is better, more detail and clarity, and better...

    Revel F206 Tower Speaker Review

    They are both the titan dome version which have very large dispersion, for the requested "wall of music".

    Ascend Sierra-1 V2 Speaker Review

    Then those people need to build us some small, very accurate, and high sensitivity speakers with good bass output...

    Ascend Sierra-1 V2 Speaker Review

    The LX uses a bigger magnet for the woofer, apparently for higher power handling and less distortion.

    How're the new Ascend Acoustics Luna V2 Mini Monitors?

    Great, thank you! I bought Sierra LX about 6 weeks ago but won't be able to hear them for another month or so yet. First waiting for my amp to arrive, now waiting for our builder to finish the basement. I sold all my audio gear about 2 years ago and wanted to get a new start and build my end...

    Ascend Sierra-1 V2 Speaker Review

    I'm not sure where I saw the review now. But there were air leaks around the binding posts and maybe the drivers, which was changing the frequency response. I believe there were some screws not tightened, can't remember everything now, but several issues. And I wasn't interested in paying over...

    How're the new Ascend Acoustics Luna V2 Mini Monitors?

    Which speakers have better detail and clarity, Uni-Fi Reference or Sierra 1 V2?

    Ascend Sierra-1 V2 Speaker Review

    More bass, and with an upgraded woofer, tweeter, and crossover, I assume the LX should also have better clarity and detail.

    Ascend Sierra-1 V2 Speaker Review

    The LX are $1,500 US and ended up being $2,540 CDN total with exchange, shipping, and tax. I was actually going to buy Sointuva's until I read how bad the build quality is. The frequency response doesn't end up being close to what it should be. If the LX are as clear and detailed as my previous...

    Ascend Sierra-1 V2 Speaker Review

    I've had my LX's here for a month but haven't got to listen to them yet, I was waiting for my amp to arrive. Now that our builder is available to finish the basement, it'll probably be another month. I really liked the Kef Reference 1's when I heard them, and the LX are only one spot below the...

    Ascend Sierra-1 V2 Speaker Review

    I recently bought LX's in dark cherry. They look nice but you can't really see the woodgrain and have to worry more about scratches. Kind of regret not getting the natural finish.

    WiiM Pro Plus - Review & Measurements (Streamer)

    Took some time setting up the parametric EQ for my 2022 HD600's, using online measurements as a guide. I'm really liking the way this sounds, for several different genres of music. I don't have the bass boosted quite as much and have the most fatiguing 1-4 khz range down about 1.5 db. I didn't...

    RME ADI-2 FS Version 2 DAC and Headphone Amp Review

    Thanks for the reply. I haven't checked back after the first few days of asking the question, I didn't think I was going to get a reply. I've owned the AKM version, and was debating on buying a new one. But have since bought a new Wiim pro plus and a used Bryston BHA-1 for the same price. No...

    RME ADI-2 FS Version 2 DAC and Headphone Amp Review

    Anyone? With so many people buying this because of the EQ feature and specs, nobody else cares?
