Going to be cheeky here and suggest getting the wharfedale Linton for $1700 new including stands. I sold me R3s in favor of them No meta and other fancy technology. But they sound great. But they are big!

The list price for R3 in the US seem similar to previous generation. All other models have gone up by 25% or so.

There’s a reason I have this guy on my ignore list.

Apple

But you can't change directivity! So in room, they will sound different even with Eq.

I think one guess should suffice ?

If this is true, glad i sold my R3 pair a couple of days ago. Prices will definitely go down for they originals I guess

I don’t have a minidsp flex. And since you claim you have found a significant deterioration in performance when applying filters, I’d assume you’d be interested in posting it here?

Updated with my decision to sell the R3 and buy the Lintons

Can you post the measurements?

Does anyone know if wharfedale has dealers in NyC area? One of my friends is interested in getting the lintons, but was wondering if there are dealers for these who can do a deal (like the rumored 30% off for revels through dealers)

Where is “local”?

Oops. I clicked on the company link, didn’t see the test by wolf

Is there any independent test of this amplifier? Benchmark is also class AB but with SMPS instead of linear power supply AFAIK

It could possibly be because I was using LCD monitors before that. So the 42" Plasma was spectacularly better than anything I had seen before. The improvement to picture quality (if any) from there to OLED doesn't seem as substantial, though of course weight and power savings are much better.

I still miss my 42” panasonic plasma. Best colors I ever had on a TV. I recently purchased a 75” mini led TCL and returned it. It used a VA panel and the picture was lousy as soon as you moved a bit off center. And it didn’t look much better than my previous cheap led TV. When my current TV...

To be honest I didn’t try without the dx3. I was using the dx3 as a preamp on my desktop speakers anyway, so using it as a hp amp also made sense. I’ve already sold the dx3 otherwise i could have done a comparison

This was my first dac + headphone combo. I never had to go above -18db on the dx3 pro+ even on low gain, so it has more than enough power to drive the headphones. I liked the combo, but ultimately headphone+dac combo wasn’t for me. I’m much more of a speaker person

I ordered from March Audio in Australia with no problem, though he does charge a shipping fee on top. However, I believe he only builds Purifi amps now, not Hypex.
