FYI. For folks thinking to buy, the wait time seems to be about 4-6 weeks currently. Ordered on June 13th and just received an email saying it will ship in 1-2 weeks.

FYI that I’ve looked in junk and don’t see any emails. I put cafe24shop.com as a vip in my email software so it shouldn’t junk it. Is there another domain name used for the shipping date emails?

When did you order vs. shipping date? I ordered June 12th and still in “preparing to ship” :(

That’s a very good point that an active setup can more fully utilize the drivers by adjusting output based on set parameters. I recall the KEF subwoofer doing this to enable 20Hz output from a tiny box, albeit at low SPL. Once you turn the volume up, the electronics pull back on the low...

Me too! I recommended three friends to buy KEF products due to their white papers. Two bought the R3 Meta and one bought the LS50 Meta. I greatly appreciate the sharing of this data!

I just ordered a pair of Ascilab C6B speakers and looking at the frequency curve and predicted in-room response, I'm wondering if active speakers provide any significant benefit anymore. I was always led to believe that active speakers were the future. With efficient Class-D amplifiers and...

You may very well be correct. Using the excellent comparison tool at spinorama.org, I can see that the C6B doesn't give up much at all in the low frequencies to the F35. There's only a 1dB difference at 80Hz or thereabouts. Across the frequency range, The C6B is smoother with less deviation from...

I love the approach that Ascilab took with the community and their extraordinary and unique balance of expertise and humility, so I decided to buy a pair of C6B in flat black for my Hong Kong apartment. I currently have Revel F35s in that setup so I can't expect the C6B to surpass them...

Because Ascilabs has class. No need to plaster ugly logos all over our furniture :) I’m planning a trip to Seoul to see their higher end models in person to choose from the variety of colours. Love this company’s approach to things.

I’m in the market for an M33-like device for my other home. Because of the poor follow-up on the promised DLBC, I’m thinking of the new Arcam SA35. I wish it had Purifi amplification but everything else looks good.

I feel like we went back to the 1990’s with this design. Even if it has a super flat frequency response and perfect dispersion, I just can’t get over the looks.

If I recall correctly, the original M33 was launched in late 2020 for US$4,999. NAD could not keep up with pre-orders and ramped the price almost immediately to US$5,499. With long delays to fulfil the pre-orders and COVID, they somewhere along the way increased the price to US$6,499 (appears to...

NAD introduces M33 Mk2 with the following changes: FOQUS (ADC) and QRONO (DAC) from MQA Labs: Ensure accurate signal conversion and preserve timing, nuance, and spatial cues New ESS ES9039PRO DAC: Achieves ultra-low distortion and wider dynamic range Dirac Live Bass Control readiness: Delivers...

Three big regrets but I accept it’s part of the learning experience: 1. Spending senseless money on cables and believing it made a big difference. 2. Thinking DSP will harm the “pure” sound. 3. Not knowing about REW until a few years ago. I could have put the money from #1 to better speakers...

Listening tests from a chair do not tell the full story. You’re likely accustomed to bass that’s excited by a room mode. When DL reduces or eliminates that room mode, it feels like you’ve lost a lot of energy (which you have and it should be that way to correct the frequency curve). I’d highly...

I'd have to disagree on the Dirac Live taking "life out of the music" and the "entire frequency range has to endure the filter".In all the REW measurements I've taken, only timing is adjusted regardless of frequency cutoff chosen. Even that has a setting now that can be disabled. I can't see how...

I love my M33, but I hate that NAD lied to us by promising DLBC and now pretends they never promised it. If buying an NAD, buy for what’s in the device today and assume what’s promised will never be delivered; if it does eventually come, think of it as a bonus. I’m a long time NAD customer, but...

I love this. My family has been running successful businesses for more than 40 years. When people ask mom and dad how they managed to do this, their reply is almost exactly the same, “we focus on building our reputation one customer at a time, one transaction at a time, with step by step...

The original LE version comes with real wood. However, when launched, they were sold out worldwide. I preordered mine the day of announcement. I’m not sure how durable the wood will be, but in my super dry air city, it’s held up well over the two years I’ve had it.

Thanks for the review Amir. Love seeing products from mainstream manufacturers like NAD featured here. I bought the NAD 3050LE (with the real wood) when it came out. I love the way it looks and it sounds fine to my ears (and now verified with your objective measurements). At the time, I wrote a...
