    Amplifier recommendations for JmLabs-Focal cobalt 806

    Are those speaker still in good condition after those years? Why not buy the new Audiolab 6000A MKII amp (850€) and save some money to buy a good subwoofer. The Cambridge MXW70 with the MXN10 is a good combination for those speakers. It has the Hypex NC122MP module inside. (I have a nCore...

    I am looking also for the Epos-es-7n speaker but they seem to be expensive for a 5" speaker. I looking now at these 2 speakers with good measurements. The "AsciLab F6B" speaker (6" woofer), these ship worldwide. If you live in the US it is better to buy the "SIERRA-LX PAIR" (6" woofer)...

    Why do you want a external DAC? Do you want another sound signature? Maybe its better to buy new speakers then a DAC? https://www.wharfedale.co.uk/products/evo-5-4?srsltid=AfmBOoo8gaDhWEuVt9s8D2LcRXrlXox5rzRIZBWHyFlEs_AkCV9fpYKZ

    Neat petite classic

    For me to get the best sound close to the wall is to use the HPF on the amp so all the low reverb and vibrations go to the subwoofer and not on your desk. Are the Neat petite classic speakers really woth their high price? Spendor A1.2 and Epos ES-7N speakers are made to place close to a wall by...

    Help with new system

    I was looking at the same amps as you but i bought the NAD M10 V3 because it can do everything. Maybe look at the Arcam SA35 if your budget allows. For bookshelf speakers that are good for voices and not to bright: Dynaudio Evoke 10 or 20 Acoustic Energy AE500 ATC SMC7 or SMC11 Spendor...

    Please help - My LEAK130 amp keeps turning down the volume

    Looks like it goes in protection mode. Is it wired correct? To restore operation, simply press the Standby button on the front panel. It is thus fully protected against gross overload, short-circuited output etc.

    Monitor Audio Gold 50 6G speakers

    I do not understand what you mean? My amp is a streamer with a DAC and much more. I use it also as amplifier for my windows PC. (Youtube, Gaming, Tidal, ...) https://nadelectronics.com/product/m10-v3/ NAD M10 V3 play files stored on USB and network drives, using your smartphone, tablet, or PC.

    Monitor Audio Gold 50 6G speakers

    My amp gives 230w @ 4ohm so it should be enough. It is just a personal taste in sound and music. Nobody is saying the M.A. is a bad speaker.

    Monitor Audio Gold 50 6G speakers

    Ok! I bought the Acoustic Energy AE500 speakers today. :) They sounded more naturel and better to my ears, and also they sounded better with my amplifier. So yeah it is best to go listen before you buy a speaker. 🔉🔊 One week delevery time.

    Monitor Audio Gold 50 6G speakers

    My audio store has always a NAD M10 free for listening/testing with new speakers :) NAD is always mild with their power on paper. (Hypex Ncore amp) Here is a test from the soundstage lab with the older version of the NAD M10 so it should be enough power for these Gold 50 5G speakers...
