    Best amplifier/receiver for a 50w and 100w transducer for $100-150?

    I will be, just didn't realize I needed it originally, kind of new to this stuff.

    Best amplifier/receiver for a 50w and 100w transducer for $100-150?

    Not exactly... I ended up with the Behringer, but what I didn't realize is I really need an input gain boost as well as a low pass filter. Guess I should've looked for a dedicated bass amp with all of that built in.

    Best amplifier/receiver for a 50w and 100w transducer for $100-150?

    No one?   I think I've narrowed it down to these two: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=0MJ-0022-00048   and   http://www.amazon.com/Behringer-EPQ450-BEHRINGER-EUROPOWER/dp/B00508JFKI/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top   The Yamaha seems like it'd be a bit more versatile, but I'm...

    Reply to review by 'spom' on item 'FiiO X1 Ultraportable Hi-Res DAP'

    How is this better than say, a Rockboxed Sansa Clip+ (or a smart phone like a Note 2)? Much cheaper and the audio quality on it is bar non better than an iPod (at least from the 3.5mm jack), has no problem driving a set of M50's. The battery life also seems quite anemic at 11 hours.    Also...

    Best amplifier/receiver for a 50w and 100w transducer for $100-150?

    Hi all,   I'm a relative newbie to the audio world outside headphones.Feel free to move this if it's in the wrong section. I also didn't see any stickies on amps/receivers for given price ranges on the subforum, but if there are some, feel free to point me to them.   Recently I'm gotten a...

    How many songs do you have in your music library?

    11668 track, but they're not all unique, some duplicates. Totals ~80gb in varying quality. I haven't been expanding my library much lately since I mostly use Spotify to stream new music I've found.

    Recommend me an AMP for my setup (Logitech Z-2300 speakers, Audiotechnica ATH-A900, AuraSound AST-2B-4 Pro Transducer)

    Been a while since I posted, but I'd like some input on how to handle this setup.   I'm running Logitech Z-2300 2.1 speakers, and just purchased this and bolted it to the lower back side of my computer chair: AuraSound Transducer   I purchased this AMP with it: Lepai LP-168HA   I'm...

    ++ FULL-SIZE HEADPHONE RECOMMENDATIONS THREAD++ CLOSED: Please post a thread in the Introductions, Help and Advice forum

    I currently have a set of ATH-A900's at home. I got them around October/November and love them. I'd like to get a set of headphones relatively close to this I could use at work that wouldn't look as ridiculous as these do.   I also have a set of ATH ES55's and SJ55's I got for portable use...

    AKG K518 DJ or...?

    I'm going to post here because the other threads I've posted in haven't had hardly any traffic, and I'm in a similar situation. Looking for a portable set, and the K518/518DJ, AKG K450, Audio Technica ES55, and Soundmagic P30's are all options. Mostly looking for a portable set, preferably...

    ATH-PRO700MK2 or ATH-M50? Which of the Audio Technica cans?

    Look into the A900's at all? I haven't heard either of the sets you listed, but I was sort of deciding between the M50 and A900. From the reading I did, the A900 has heavier bass. Personally I couldn't be more please with them. Will you be getting an amp to go along with them? From my...

    Soundmagic P30, badly matched drivers?

    Any update? I've deciding between these, AKG K450's, and Audio Technica ES55's. I was leaning toward the P30's, but I'm not too sure... The ES55's are the least portable, and I don't like that each cup has a cord coming from it. The K450's a little pricey, and the detachable cable might wear out.

    "Best" Closed Foldable/Portable headphones?

    Not for now. I tend not to use in ear phones unless I'm at the gym/doing something very active where normal phones would fall off, generally that involves sweating too, which cause problems for in-ears. I've gone through probably 4-5 sets of cheap Sony's from active use. Surprisingly my current...

    "Best" Closed Foldable/Portable headphones?

    I'll mostly be listening to various kinds of rock (hard rock, instrumental, post-metal, post-rock, progressive, psychedelic, etc), as well as ambient, and electronic.   Those Koss phones look a bit bigger than I'd like for a portable set, I'd probably just go for M50's if I were to get...

    "Best" Closed Foldable/Portable headphones?

    First off, I'm relatively new to the headphone world... I just got my first "big boy" headphones a couple months ago, Audio Technica ATH-A900's, along with a FiiO E7 portable amp/DAC. I couldn't be more pleased with them, I love the sound out of the box and feel no need/want to equalize them...

    Review: MEElectronics HT-21 – Loud & Clear!

    So between these, the AKG K430, and Audio Technica ATH-FC700A's (or another unmentioned portable set), which is the best overall sound quality and isolation? I'm hearing some of you say these are pretty harsh/aggressive which makes me think they're not for me.   I'm relatively new to the...
