Agreed. This is why I specify peak. I would like them to play up to 95db comfortably. That does not imply I listen to that volume regularly. I don’t want them to distort below that volume, is my thinking.

I confronted the »robot« with this :cool: ... It then changed the ranking: Hmmm... I appreciate the help for sure.....but, the 'machine' still not without errors. Vestia is front ported, for one. The SPL for Spendor is a concern with a 50w amp. I think we can cross those off the list for...

Yes

Correct. Thanks for your help. Neumann KH 120 - out because it is an active speaker. KEF LS50 Meta - out b/c MIC ATC SCM7 - requires more powerful amp than 50W to drive them adequately Dynaudio Evoke 10 - out because MIC Focal Aria 906 - a possibility. Current list: Revel Performa M106...

I appreciate your response. Elfton is not readily available in the US. I am not familiar with Amphion, but also do not appear widely available in the US. Appreciate your response. ATC is off the list for your stated reason. I have heard that you need more to drive them, as well. ProAC...

These looks wonderful, and check a lot of boxes. There has been some chatter about them sounding a bit too bright. Do others share this experience?

Can Revel m106 be used close to the wall? I read somewhere on this forum they moved manufacturing of their drivers to China. Is that the case also for the m106? Thanks for your help.

To clarify: Looking for a passive speaker to use with a vintage McIntosh Amp 50wpc.

I would say peak at 10 ft

Hi, Bookshelf/monitor speaker recommendation under 2k/pair? Here are the must haves: Small room requires near wall placement. For rock/blues music comfortable handle 95db Nothing made in China Small footprint, under 20” high Neutral, not “bright” Might consider used Paired with vintage...

Those are nice, but not looking to stream or expand to other hubs.

Hi, I’m researching for my brother. He is looking for a preamplifier for 2.1 channel system. He is using a newly purchased vintage McIntosh amplifier, plays music in FLAC via USB from laptop. Budget less than $1700 Must have: Remote volume control Digital I/O’s Tone controls Well...

Thanks for the replies, so far. I want to clarify, I am not necessarily looking to check all the boxes with a single unit. I am open to components as well, so long as budget and function are met. 2 subs are plenty for me. I have the power amp and speakers already; looking for the other...

Why would I choose a 16 channel processor when I am focusing on a 2.2 system? Just trying to understand your rationale. Thanks
