I started HiFi last year after giving car audio SQ a rest. I did some open baffle DIY floorstanders coupled with NAD and Behringer amps. But it takes alot of processing to get the peaks subdued via DSP with the open baffle.
I have since gotten some Monitor Audio Silver 100 speakers on stands and the Sound is very detailed and tonal accuracy and imaging is amazing with the NAD 326Bee.
I am thinking of upgrading the amplifier but reading online that the Japanese amplifiers tend to be more technical sounding while the European amps are warmer and natural sounding. Any experience from you guys would be appreciated...

If you ask any audiophile working for review magazines and websites even youtube to do a BLIND or double blind LISTENING TEST about 95% of them will make up some excuse why they can't or would try to say it isn't reliable even tho it is the gold standard of scientific testing.
Fun fact even a cheap $20 USD DAC sounds the same as a $1 million USD DAC. Where you would notice a difference is if it is onboard DAC on a otherboard as badly implemented DAC on PC Mainboards can have degraded audio quality but just to show you how far we have come even an old built in iphone 5 DAC sounds no different than a $1 million USD DAC. You can't even tell the difference also the phaggots on head fi will tell you that you need a headphone amp a dedicated one to reproduce the full music and show the true potential of the headphone which again is a lie, all it does is amplify a signal it does nothing else.
NOW if you are talking about listening test for speakers and headphones that is a totally different ball game as upgrading speakers and headphones account for 95% of audio quality, but again HD6XX is the limit of human hearing, buying a planar headphone for $2000 USD is stupid

EFFECTIC DESIGNS wrote:Those super duper audiophile equipment are very very nice on paper no doubt about that, unfortunately the reality is you wouldn't detect an audible difference if you compared it to something for a fraction of the price.
I think the cut off point is somewhere around $5,000 USD for everything from DAC to AMP to Speakers to reach the limit of human hearing. After that you are essentially paying for marketing
Another thing to note with loud speakers room design and placement of speakers from where you sit is as important as the actual quality of said speakers themselves. You throw in smoked marijuana ontop of that and you have basically an experience of a lifetime, if you never experienced music under the influence of THC you are missing out big time.

H I'm looking for a 2.1 channel system for my sitting room TV. I recently acquired a vintage Marantz 4400 that i was going to use with some floor standing speakers but decided on a modern setup with maybe a bookshelf and sub combo. I'm trying to be as minimalistic as possible. Was looking at the SVS wireless sound base and I like the Jamo C103's. i can always choose a sub later on or maybe not according to how it sounds in the space I will have it in.

Only reason im not using it is the space i have allocated is very small, maybe 18" wide X 12" high X 12" in depth so thats why im looking for compact pieces
