Oh wow. Definitely too much for matching. And really rather lame on Triangle's part, IMO. Glad you checked!

A fine plan, IMO. Triangle even offers an AIO Twin + Lunar 1 turntable pack that saves $100. And then the finishes can match! https://trianglehifi.us/products/pack-aio-twin-lunar-1 If funds present themselves later you could add their Tales 340 sub which would improve both your bass and your...

LOTS of great replies! But just to give you even MORE to think about... LOL... I'd possibly consider a different path and go even further up the Yamaha line and get the R-N800a, and assemble everything else used. Here's why: -If you buy everything new-ish now, everything you have will be...

Thanks!

Thanks for your reply. Can you please elaborate on mid range "bite"? I'm not familiar with that term.

Ha! For sure. But it definitely enlightened me on which drivers are doing what. Which helps me see reviews, crossover frequencies, drivers complements, driver size, etc., in a new light. Besides, isn't being disappointed integral to our hobby? Then we get to complain and start a whole new...

Woah, man! I don't need that kind of pressure! :tongueclosed:

I was yesterday years old when I learned how low vocal frequencies are. Type of voiceFrequency range Hz Bass87.31 - 349.23 Baritone98.00 - 392.00 Tenor130 - 493.88 Contralto130.81 - 698.46 Soprano246.94 - 1,174.70 You could have knocked me over with a feather. I always thought...

I totally get your internet spiraling! I've been researching potential new speakers for months. Everytime I cross one set off the list, another option takes its place. LOL. I've resolved to attend the AXPONA show in Chicago next month to see and hear a lot of my options first hand. If a good...

Funny email entitled "Power Cord Dementia" sent out by Wylie Williams of The Speaker and Stereo Store, and shared because... “those who can't laugh at themselves leave the job to others". (Dave Berry): -------------------------------------------- "Sadly my last newsletter seems to have had...

Holy smokes. I went four or five pages deep into Google search results. Saw a ton of reviews for the 4 and 2 but only one for the 3. Though there were lots of descriptions masquerading as reviews. Is that what you were seeing? If not, maybe I need to figure out how to get European search results...

I'm kind of mystified at the lack of attention given to these speakers. https://www.wharfedaleusa.com/products/elysian-3-floorstanding-speakers-pair They appear to me to be the Goldilocks of the Elysian range, but I only see one serious review. I would also imagine the combination of their...

"Well, that escalated quickly." Hot damn! Congratulations! That's a hell of a loudspeaker. And yeah... now you're gonna need some serious, high quality power. (Though needing something to measure up to those Monitors is great problem to have.)

In that $1,000 integrated amp price range, I can say I've been very pleased with my Yamaha R-N800A. I cross-shopped it against most of the major players, including Cambridge. The difference maker for me was the loudness feature (which I didn't end up using) and YPAO (which I use every time)...

Sorry if I misunderstood your A/B dilemna. I thought you would be listening in one room OR the other. And as others replied, I don't know of any receivers that can do A and B simultaneously with two different sources. For your living room, maybe you'll be best served eventually going with some...
