    Hello, I am ready to spend money on higher end monitors for my music production studio. Right now I am liking both the Core 47 and HEDD Type 20 Mk2 in terms of on paper specifications. However a long time ago I used a AMT tweeter monitor (back in 2012) and noticed I got ear fatigue very...

    Wanted...Help, guidance, a guru

    I started my journey with a NAD 3020e, Wharfedale Diamonds and a Dual turntable. The vageries of life have left me with a Denon AVR fed by an ipad via analogue. This is not acceptable. I have been lurking here for a few months & have been impressed with the knowledge, empiricism and cordiality...

    Wanting to trade my JBL A130 speakers for equal value items

    My testing is done and I thought to try trading these to someone rather than selling. I have no idea if this will interest anyone. (of course I can sell as well if trading doesn't work out) They are in excellent condition. I am looking to trade for similar retail value ($300) and not old/dated...

    I have a set of sansui s-75u speakers in great condition. I can’t find much information on them anywhere online. Just want to see if anyone could give me a general idea of what they might be worth. Thanks.

    My current setup has distortion for some reason now.

    For the past few weeks my desktop setup has been having crackling audio at any volume. High DR and low DR has the same crackling. The oldest part is my Sansui 2000A. You can only hear noise at max volume but its very faint then. My dac is the Topping E30 and my speakers are the Elac Debut 2 b62...

    Note: this is a subjective review, however I will update with REW in the next few days when my laptop is home from work. Man o’ man, I didn’t need another set of speakers (as evidenced by the surrounding sets pictured below), but these Onkyo D-77RX are close to GOAT status to my ears. Got them...

    Okay! a controversial topic! can I ask why you guys say to put all crossovers on fronts centre and rear surrounds at 80hz? After I’ve run Audyssey on my Denon AVR-X2200, it always sets my Fronts, rears and centre at 40hz... I then always change them to 80hz as the recommendations, then I set...

    Triangle Borea Br08 floorstanding speaker review

    It’s not often I purchase gear on a whim. I’m a cheap bastard after all, however when Adorama had the Triangle BR08s on sale for $900 a pair, I just kind of clicked “buy”. I’d seen a ton of reviews for the BR03 all saying essentially, these are the new kings of budget audio (inevitably to be...
