    Klipsch RP 280f Vs B&W 683 S2

    Hi and welcome to the forum. Suggestions from this forum will typically advise that you need to hear the speakers for yourself because music and sound is a very personal experience and tastes differ. Maybe explain why you have narrowed your choices to the two speakers mentioned.

    VA Exclame 150 XSE wows 3 Audio Nuts!

    This is mine and absolutely loving it. I've already started upgrading my second Exclame, this time with Mundorf CAPs and was quite surprised at the differences in 'flavour" CAPs can make. I've heard some mega systems and have never come away thinking I want more than my modded Exclame, its a...

    Valve Audio Predator - Speaker Pairing

    I'm not sure if the Predator is the same as the Exclame but I'd expect it is quite sensitive to quality of power. Have you sorted out that first cause upgrading speakers may not provide the upgarde you looking for if you still have a bottleneck with power. Things like good power cables and even...

    Boomy bass

    Couple of things to experiment with, firstly how close are you sitting to the front wall, if your listening chair is against the wall move away and see if the bass changes. If you have nothing in the corners of your room this can also create booming bass, throw a couple of pillows or cushions...

    iFi Zen Blue 3 - World's first lossless bluetooth

    Strangely I didn't get the drop outs with WIFI but I found the sound not as good as with the cable. I cant recall but I either had a CAT5 or CAT6 originally. I then bought a uGreen CAT8 from Takealot and never had an issue after that. I have subsequently gotten an even more "robust" cable off...

    iFi Zen Blue 3 - World's first lossless bluetooth

    Had similar problem with the Stream, someone mentioned getting a CAT8 LAN cable on a different thread when you experience drop outs. I bought one and had no problems after that.

    External DAC Info

    Since you really only starting out you should also think about answering the question of where you want to be in say 5 years. How far down the rabbit hole do you you want to go, and how much do you want to spend on your hobby. Have you heard a R250k system and told yourself that what I want one...

    Lindemann

    Interesting view and I see reason in what you say, however about ten years ago I dumped 80% of my CDs and haven't found myself missing them. The other 20% I typically only listen to in the car and they are CDs that are not available on streaming services. I have around 500 LPs and haven't...

    Materials for inexpensive speaker isolation

    I purchased these several years back and have been satisfied with them. Made for vibration of heavy machinery so I'm sure it does the trick for speakers. Anti-vibration pads

    How much do cables matter?

    I found enjoyment and satisfaction in my journey with high-quality cables! For many audiophiles, the pursuit of sonic excellence and the exploration of different equipment and configurations are integral parts of the hobby. The ability to hear new nuances and details in your music collection can...

    How much do cables matter?

    Paul from PS Audio on one of his YouTube videos this week, stated that if you cant really heard a difference in different cables its possible that your speakers are not resolving enough. I know that the statement may again just open another round of banter but it at least gave me an answer to...

    Whats the value of your ears?

    I don’t think it’s a bad idea to have two pairs of different sounding speakers. Obviously they should both sound good to your ears but as said by others your preferences change and having different sounding speakers helps appreciate their differences. In my experience to a point also prevents...
