No doubt, my audio desires are evolving during this process. Most likely I’ll purchase the Harbeth 30.2 XD bookshelf speakers for Harbeth’s unique sound qualities. And the Harbeth 30.2 XD is fairly...

Thanks for the wise advise everyone. I’m keeping my Focal Stellia headphones and I’ll mate them with an portable DAC headphone amplifier. I canceled the expensive Luxman P-750U for now. Next I’ll...

Good to know about the NAD M50.2. That’s exactly why I created this thread so I can find out things to avoid, get solid advice, ETC. Admittedly, I’ve done an excessive amount of reading and lusting....

My stereo system plans are progressing nicely. I have the Focal Stellia headphones in house now (thanks again Mike!!) and I have the Luxman P-750 headphone amplifier on the way. It’s being air...

For now I had to put the flagship speakers to the back burner as I just got a Chord TT2 and Focal Stellia headphones. They are on the way and I’m super excited. Next I’m shopping around for a power...

What are the best websites to buy used audio gear anyway?

That is too funny. But what a great price. I would jump on $10K for just nearly new black gloss Sopra No 2 speakers nowadays.



I can not see me purchasing below the Focal Sopra series. I am...

I did some ballpark math against the Focal Sopra series recommended room sizes. And I considered a comfortable want to need guesstimate. I did this by taking the max square footage recommendation,...

From my research and inquires I have found that the Focal Sopra No 3 is noted to be a step better than the Focal Sopra No 2. A step better that is well worth the added cost. I also have found that...

Accidental double post.

Thank you for that sentiment. That post took forever to properly craft. I feel sorry for anyone that read it before the edits.

I have a speaker hunt update. I am very close to pulling the trigger on a pair of black gloss Focal Sopra No 2 Speakers. I am looking to demo them this week, to compare and contrast to a few other...

I was considering several integrated purchases around $5K to $10K. The Mark Levinson No. 5805, the McIntosh MC9000, and the Marantz PM-10, or the NAD M33. Leaning towards the McIntosh despite the...

I’m pretty sure I live in a dome like The Truman Show because I never left the US

I just realize for Focal raised their prices on the Sopra 2. Not fair. I discounted the Kanta series due to the lack of bass slam vs the Sopra woofer material per various indicators, if I go Focal...

Perhaps the Sabrina?

I definitely want a balance of music, movies, and games audio quality in that order of importance. I may not get that home theater bass punch, but I do want to approach full range. And also still...

Hegel is a name I hear lots in reviews and forums lately. Are they that good?

What about a John Curl vs Nelson Pass technology wise? Does the JC 1+ stand up to the best Pass Labs has to offer?

I never considered Magico speakers before this thread. They are recommended here and there. Now the Magico reviews start to stand out more as I come across them again in my research. I might not have...

Royalty hookups are my speciality.

OK then. I give up. The Top Ten is cancelled. I learned my lesson.

Perhaps I am just asking stupid questions. However, I thought this was the place to ask stupid questions so I can chat for fun and learn more about audio 🤔

Somebody’s going to come into this thread after seeing the post count and then realize that nobody is posting about audio lol.

For me I’m just gathering a list of things I want to hear. I’m a noob. For someone else they may have valuable experience and no doubt a far better list. I was hoping to see other people’s lists to...
