Ascend Acoustics Sierra-1 Reference Monitor

Audiophile•Sierra-2 Reference Ribbon Monitor

Hey Everyone, So I'm really excited to bring Ascend Acoustics to the Audiophile community. For those of you headphone geeks unfamiliar with the brand, Ascend is like the Schitt Audio of Speakers, offering great price:performance products directly to the consumer. As such, the discount we're able to offer on these is less than the typical percentages you see on other speakers and audio products on our site. But as far as I know, these have...

Audiophile•Any interest in tower speakers?

I think a big part of what makes something Massdroppable is if placing an order for 500 of something would allow the manufacturer to give a significant discount and still make a reasonable profit. Echoing something from +ElectronicVices above, the direct-to-consumer small-production-scale market in North America is relatively robust already and margins are already relatively low, so offering companies like SVS or Emotiva an order for 200...

Digital Sonic Fluidity

Just thought I'd share our future in acoustic transducers here, so we can all see what the "playing field" will look like. As Feynman said " There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom", well there is some great sound to be had at the micro scale be...

Acoustic Research Bolt 1.0 Bluetooth Speaker

Tech•Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 Computer Speakers

Great speakers though the mids get drowned out by the insanely loud bass. I would recommend buying a pair used on eBay if you're trying to penny pinch and then replacing the stock satellites with Tang Band W3-881SJ to bring out the mids and enhance crispness/resolution/vocal/musical clarity. The stock Klipsch sub-woofer is fine and can also be replaced by a Tang Band sub-woofer but it will be quite expensive around $90 and it will not be tuned...

Audiophile•HiVi M10 Multimedia Speaker System

I have listened to both the Swan M10 and Klipsch Promedia 2.1. Each has their good and bad but I think the Klipsch is better. I have demoed the Klipsch many times over the years at many retail box stores since the CompUSA days. The Promedia 2.1 came out in 2002 and they are still being sold today. I have demoed the Klipsch side by side against the Logitech Z623. The Z623 has much less bass and sounds were more tinny and much brighter. My...

Audiophile•Budget/Low end Home theatre

Something like the Yamaha RX-V385 would be a good place to start. Their entry level receivers are very good in my opinion. Honestly, most of the manufacturers make solid stuff in that price range. It's where most of the sales are, and thus where the competition is. Speaker setup can get infinitely more complex than, say picking out a pair of headphones. However, the two big things to look for are still sensitivity and impedance. Make sure...

Audiophile•Setup Recommendations

You could try out the Schiit Audio line of products. Very highly regarded in the audiophile community. Starting at 99 bux for more portable solid state dacs,dac/amps like the Fulla, the Modi, The Magni, ALL of which produce excellent quality sound, and then, as you graduate your desires, move up to the more mid- higher cost gear including some lovely sounding tube amps, like the Lyr, and the Valhalla, and the Mjolnir. I am very very happy...
