what are your thoughts s on the focal chora 806 with my existing equipment btw? They seem to be particularly good at low volume listening which is what i would be doing and the vocal seems to be very good too? Will I be better off with it against getting these floorstanders?

Auditioning is out of the equation as I need to make a blind purchase. I need to travel 4000+ kms inorder to audition any speakers which will only add to the cost. I really want to get the oberon 5 due to its smaller size and looks, however i am not sure whether I will like the sound. The polk...

Thanks for your input, greatly appreciated. I forgot to mention I also own a Polk HTS12 subwoofer. The Rose Technics RT5000 DAC also boost the low end a bit. In view of this, would you still recommend the oberon 5 over the polk r500? Also available is Revel f35/36, Wharfedale super denton/linton...

Seeking advice on these two speakers. 1. the oberon 5 is cheaper, better looking, not fussy about placement and looks more compact. 2. the r500 has great reviews too. 3. DAC - Rose Technics Rt5000 4. Amps - Quad vena or audiolab 6000a. 5. Room size - Medium and untreated. 6. Purpose -...

Anyone who has experience the Rose Technics RT5000 DAC has any idea whether it will pair well with the Dali Oberon 5? Will it be excessively bright? Asking because I am allergic to brightness.

Is the ao300 similar in terms of sound to the a300? I have a300 and da9 and i prefer the da9 over the a300. The sub out on a300 is very weak and the high pass filter does not make any noticeable difference at all when turned on/off. i have two units of a300 btw. The sub out on DA9 is noticeably...

I don't know how to put it in words but in short I prefer the quad vena for certain speakers over the class D amps, and the class d amps over the vena in some speakers. For example, the vena does not sound as congested but the vocals/mids are a bit laid back in comparison to the class d amps...

I need help choosing an integrated amplifier. 1. Can anybody who has experience with both smsl ao300 and audiolab 6000a comment on the sound quality/performance? I have the option of buying a used audiolab 6000A for $650 and a new smsl AO300 for $325. Does the price difference warrant the...

I did a side by side comparison like any normal person would, I do not have gears or the time to do level matching. I am doing it using my EARS like any normal person would. I OWN BOTH ITEMS and based on which I am commenting. I don't think you own both so your opinions are not relevant. I am...

do you even own both items? Well I do and I am only stating my findings! It is because of you audiofools who are so much into measurements and what these so-called reviewers who get paid most of the time btw, say this and that, and you believe them wholeheartedly, if you are so inclined to...

lmao, to each their own, no point arguing with audiofools :facepalm:

Clearly it is not the same, the Topping e70 and smsl d300 sounds much much better via the usb input as compared to the wiim pro with e70 and d300 with optical connection. Yes this is ASR, I hardly ever sign in or comment, but I just had to reset my passwd and sign in just so I could comment now...

I am not talking about using the same external dac, get the wiim mini or pro with any external dac and compare it with the ifi zen blue v2 alone. I am 100% sure the ifi will sound better. But like you have said YMMV. OP was asking which one is better, I am just stating my opinion since I happen...

Do not go by specs alone, it is the implementation that matters! One very good example is iPhones vs Android phones. Lesser RAM vs More RAM etc. Yet iOS is still far more optimized and faster. I am not an apple fan btw. Just get ifi zen blue v2 and compare it side by side with wiim mini/pro...

I have the ifi zen one signature which is a combination of ifi zen dac signature + zen blue v2 and wiim pro connected to topping e70 / smsl d300 DAC. The bluetooth SQ on the ifi zen one signature / zen blue v2 blows away the wiim pro is every other way. The wiim pro sounds closed off and have...

I guess my first task is to install some kind of acoustic treatment first. Thanks y'all.

Thanks, I will definitely look into this. Thanks, this is just what I needed to hear.

I do not consider myself an audiophile so I am not familiar with most audiophile terms, but I prefer forwarded mids/vocals (thick vocals/not lean sounding if that makes sense). Previously, I had psb alpha s10 subwoofer connected to quad vena and dali spektor 2. While that was better, it still...

I have checked several reviews and sound demos on the above mentioned speakers, yet to research on more speakers.

I have a dali spektor 2 with the e50+pa5 stack and mission qx2 with quad vena. They are both okay speakers, but both certainly did not wow me like most reviewers made it out to be.
