Currently looking for a speaker bundle new for very maximum £2000 would like to get the best i can but struggling to find id like tower spears two bookshelf for surround ive had alot of recommendations of small spears all round which i dont like.

Hey everyone,

I'm looking to complete my desk setup with a good pair of speakers mainly for entertainment —watching movies, TV shows, YouTube videos, and streaming music on Spotify. I'm pretty new to the audio world, so I'm not sure what to look for. I'd appreciate any suggestions or advice on what speakers would give me a solid sound experience without breaking the bank (~100€ max)

Thanks in advance!

Got the new LP70XBT turntable incoming so need some powered speakers to go with them but all confused.

I'm in the UK, it's for a large living/dining room in a flat, budget around £300, needs bluetooth so I can connect phone, RCA for the turntable - ideally the amp inside speaker is A/B so it doesn't do the convert analog to digital thing. They don't need to be too big, will be on bookshelves! If they come in white even better.

Thanks!

Edit - thanks all I just bought the Q Acoustic M20s!

Anyone in Canada or the USA selling a pair of older HECO Odeon 600 floorstanding speakers by any chance? Looking for a pair to complete my Odeon set. Cheers.

I found this dac/amp for what it looks like a good price, and supports both headphones and speakes. I was thinking of connecting my pc to the dac/amp and then split the rca output to my current active speakers and a sub that I'm planning to buy. Is it correct to do? If yes is this a good offer, should I pull the trigger?

On Thursday evening a new Fosi ZA3 arrived from Amazon. On Friday I was enjoying its great sound hooked up to some desktop speakers. On Saturday it died. No sound at all. LED light was lit showing that it was getting power. I verified the failure by attempting to use a 2nd pair of speakers as well as a 2nd input source. No change. So here it is Sunday and I’m sending it back to Amazon for an exchange.

Is this just some random manufacture defect? Or are these puppies fragile?

P.S. the unit never got hot to the touch, at most just lukewarm.

Things are getting out of hand

8€? Seems unlikely to be true yet every review is positive what are your thoughts?

Hi all,

How can I connect to z625 subwoofer to the Kanto ora? The ora has a RCA sub out. I tried different cables but no succes. I tried a RCA to mini jack. The z625 does have something like a input option.is it even possible?

Looking to make a decision between these three headphones, my uses include shooter and casual gaming, listening to music such as rap and hip hop, and looking for overall audio quality and comfort for my needs. Prefer a closed back but I would be open to taking the sacrifice for better quality elsewhere. Not worried about flexibility or transport as it will stay at home and connected to my pc.

Looking to upgrade from Sennheiser GSP 370 which had an unnecessary mic and had consistent connection issues along with what I believe is mediocre sound quality. Anyone have any information on a good choice?

I just found this sub and wanted to share the story of how I got started on my audiophile journey.

Back in 2018 I was attending college in Boston. I decided to stay and work at a cafe over the summer. This cafe was built into the first floor of a high rise apartment building right in back bay and our staff room was in the loading dock of the building. People usually put their trash out there and since they were rich the stuff wasn’t broken, they just didn’t want it anymore.

I walked in for my shift one day and boom, there they were just sitting next to the dumpster. The only damage I could see was some cosmetic damage on the corner of one of them. I went to the front desk guy and asked him if anyone would put anything in the loading dock other than to throw it out. He said:

“If they’re still there by the end of your shift you can take em”

So I called an Uber, took them to my apartment but I didn’t have an amp so I still couldn’t assess them.

I went to a local thrift store and explained to the guy that I have these passive speakers I want to test and asked if I could borrow his hand truck to bring the speakers to his shop, then use one of his amps to test them and if they worked I told him I’d buy the amp. He was like:

“Sure whatever”

Wheeled them over, plugged them in, and the journey began.

I own & old pair of BA T-1030s, I've replaced one of the woofers completely I ordered from BAs, but then they went into storage in '09, & they haven't been used since. I believe all capacitors are intact, so they should be fine. I know when I bought these speakers in '92 it was between them & Klipsch for myself a young person of 30 yrs old at the time $3000 was a lot. When I listened & demoed the T-1030s sounded they so warm & powerful at the same time, imaging & soundstage was just killer, nice sizzle in the tweeter, but pleasant & non-fatgueing. They were, to me a phenomenally great sounding speaker. I know for a fact, that the 2 radiator foams have separated & possibly one remaining driver, I hoping I replaced the other driver through BAs too, I just don't remember anymore.

Hey 👋🏻 i have a question about my setup

Q: i am soon gonna buy a Stereo amp to run my Dual 620Q record player and in the future maybe CD player i mostly listen to music with headphones and now I'm asking myself how i can connect my ifi zen can to a stereo amp? I did read that a tape out is good to connect a headphone amp but can i listen through this output to all the inputs or is a tape out limited to specific inputs? and is the volume from a tape out fixed or can it be adjusted normal with the Volume wheel from the stereo amp

thanks

I am using yammaha rxv671 that I plan to replace and kef kube 1 sub repaired and now modded goes down to 40hz ±3db or 32hz ±6db . Main genres I listen to are rock, metal, modern jazz and reggae. The setup will also be used for music production sometimes but main use is music. I mostly listen at low volumes in a fairly small room.

I am struggling to find good speakers second hand in the £100-300 range newer than the 70's and wondering what speakers you all would consider.

Should

I have a 2001 bmw e46, the speakers inside are base model, the bass is terrible, there is constant static, overall audio quality is terriible. The previous car i had was a 2012 Scirocco and the speakers weren’t top class but the quality was still great. I hear amps and other terms thrown around and im not 100% sure what they mean or what effect they have on the actual audio. All im looking for is reasonably priced speakers that sound great and will fit my car, however im not 100% on what to buy and what brands Ive heard alpine is a good choice if i buy used, theyre good quality and thats all i need as im not planning on throwing concerts in my car, i already have plans to buy an apple carplay headunit so i dont have to think about that, just what would be compatible with that. Any advice/info would help a lot thankyou

Guys I ve been looking on to DACs. I've found one SHANGLING UA4(Pre-owned) at a price of 4250INR i.e. $51

Is it worthy l

Edifier MR4 + Presonus Eris 8BT, or

Klipsch Promedia Heritage 2.1

Also looking at the Kali LP-UNF + Eris sub, but it’s a little out of my price range. Is it THAT much better?

Main purpose would be for production and casual listening when I need a break from headphones.

I was thinking of getting a pair of new Focal Shape Twin for music production online for around 1.7k USD, for analytical and casual listening. However, I would also like to hear some other opinions, for example Dynaudio, Genelec, etc thanks! Both used and new are welcome!

I have a onkyo receiver and I'm wondering what i should set my crossover setting too i have a set of wharfedale diamond 225s. I'm very new to all this so I'm not sure what to do i cannot turn the setting off though

So bit of backstory.

My father passed away a few years ago at the. He was a physicist, engineer, and musician in earlier parts of his life.

One of his hobbies was to build tube amps. No kits, as many parts he can pick himself as possible. When he died, he left me two power amps (one incomplete), headphone amp, 3 turn tables, and dozens of tubes.

Well I was finally able to setup my music and home theater using one of his tube amps and record players. Also used is an Amazon phono preamp, and new Klipsche rb500m II speakers.

Today I finished wiring everything up how I wanted it, basically being able to use the speakers for either the home theater or vinyls.

This is a continuation of this thread. Rather than type it all out again just read my response in that thread. Specifically the last paragraph. Any would help would be appreciated especially for the Klipsch.

If I buy another speaker I'm going to end up an the auction site, so I'm sharing the wealth with the group:

NHT VT-1.2 - $100 currently

Mirage OM Design Series OMD-15 Rosewood - $101

Advent AS2 (Local Pickup in Conn) - $14

Altec is new to me - these are a7 , supposedly all original. 808-8a Symbiotik driver , 511b horn. N501 -8a divider network. Cabinets look to be in ok shape, normal wear and tear, definitely were originally in a theater or something like that, flat black cabinets. Asking $2500. Thoughts? I will be able to audition. Thank you.

i have the edifiers 1280t i was wondering would getting the wharfedake 12.1 and my vsx 516 receiver be a big difference in sound clarity?

I can't find stands the I like and will reliably support the weight for a reseanable price, so I've been toying with this idea. Is it totally nuts?

Presonus Eris speakers, Peavey Mixer/Audio Interface as a DAC, Sony DvD player as a CD player, previous IPhone used as a DAP(no longer a usable phone). Tape deck works but it’s only there to lift things higher so the cat leaves things alone.
