This $1,100 Emotiva T1+/Denon PMA 600NE system floors the Audiophiliac 

I do enjoy the teal green with sailboats look.

1980s Miami Vise, lol.

Sure rocks!

Much of Steve's power comes directly from his shirts.

I was just thinking the same thing... LOL!

Are you referring to zero Fidelity? 😏

@@kohnfutner9637 No, not him. I don't know what this reviewer is like. Is he like that? By the way, I'm not referring to just one. There are several like this. Others try gear with the same 4 songs, every time. Songs that they like, that is. For me, if you want to check and try something, you have to try it with a variety of genres. Not the same few songs, that happen to be of your taste. Also, the material has to be challenging for the machine you review. Most of these morons, only know about their xlrs and their spdifs.

@@Yiannis2112 I just watched his video (zero Fidelity). I thought it was informative enough. He can sometimes be that way but he's better at explaining. I wish he did sound demos though.

@@kohnfutner9637 Thing is you don't need too many explanations. Most of us already know how to connect things, understand specs, features etc. If we don't, we're just a few clicks away from anything. Manuals, terminal types, in/out types, tables/charts, terminology etc. What we cannot possibly know is how something sounds. That's what a reviewer is mainly for. What we need is reviewers to be along the following lines: "I'm trying this new pair of speakers. I connect them to this and that ref system, that through months of listening to it, I know it has this or that character. I tried these new speakers with Tina Turner's a capella vocals, but also with an 80 piece orchestra recorded at Air Lyndhurst studios. I also tried them with the 5th album of this jazz band (which happens to be a top notch recording), but also with the 2nd demo of this punk band which, understandably so being a demo, has crap recording quality. This double live album from Chick Corea, too. My conclusion is this..." Steve does that. He tells you what and from who. The Soundnews guy also. Home Studio Basics, John Darko are more than OK, but could do better. iiWi News is so and so. From the top of my head, people who don't (and I consider many them as trendy posers who are just full of it, spending 14min of blah blah and just one, to tell you about actual audio performance, while never being specific) are The Next Best Thing Studio, The Hans Beekhuyzen Channel, Joshua Valour, Thomas & Stereo, David Sylvia, Currawong, Z Reviews, Andrew Robinson and may be as you say Zero Fidelity (I have to check him out). Too many of them, I have to say. With these people, it's as if looking to buy a new car, but no one tells you how it behaves on the road. Yet he knows what diameter is the screw that holds the interior mirror... Also, you rarely get comparisons between same type, same cost gear. Finally there are others who are making unboxing videos...! As if we cannot check the manufacturer's or a dealer's page and see what's inside the darn box. Go figure...! Audiophiles and music fans, my ass...

@@kohnfutner9637 PS Yes, sound demos would be great, regardless of yt sound quality. Great idea. Very few people do sound demos and usually that's it. Nothing else about the product or the rest of the system being connected to. Even less are reviewing the product, too. Btw New Record Day is also one of those not referring to specific music they tried, but he's not using generic words and expressions. However, he talks instrumentation a lot. Cymbals, bass drums, pianos, flutes, guitars etc which is brilliant. He seems to know his stuff. If he would be more specific, his channels would be top.

i know im asking randomly but does any of you know a way to log back into an instagram account?? I was stupid lost my login password. I love any tips you can give me

@Braden Easton I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process atm. I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

@Braden Easton it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy! Thank you so much you really help me out!

@Drake Amir You are welcome :)

I wish they put them in nice looking cabinets for people who are willing to pay for them. Of course they'd cost more, but real wood just makes everything in the room feel so much nicer, at least for me it does.

2 years later, they went up in price twice. Now $899 :-( But everything has gone up in terms of supplies. I guess I'll just have to save that $200 elsewhere lol.

@@CeeStyleDj And now ten months later after your post they were selling them for $499 two days ago (11/26/23) but it now appears they sold out quickly and are likely gone forever as their new line will supposedly be available sometime in January. I really wanted the T1+ to be paired with my Emo C1+ CC and Emo BasX A3 amp but they hadn't been available for quite a few months so I decided to get the B2+ around three months ago while they were still available for $359. I'm really enjoying them but in the back of my mind I know I missed out on the pair of three-way speakers that I've been wanting for well over a year.

Lol

What can you tell about PMA600NE? Will you buy it again? Im thinking about buying: Denon pma600ne or Marantz pm6006 or Yamaha as501

I want to follow Steve’s orders so hard, but I cannot put more than 6 inches between speaker/wall!!!

I think that you need to backwards engineer your system. You can pair your Emotivas with an expensive amp as a reference. Then pair with decreasingly less expensive amps untill you reach a price point where the sound is acceptably close to what you heard from the expensive amp. You might find that the speakers (and possibly the cables) are a limiting factor. Sort of like terminating a fire hose with a garden hose nozzle. The output (in this case the sound quality that is acceptable to you) may only justify hooking up a garden hose to the nozzle. Unless your plan is to walk the speaker upgrade path or maybe troll the used market for a discounted classic amplifier. IMHO. Steve has given you an amplifier that is a really great starting choice. If I were in the market for a starter, I would first consider the features that were essential. Next would I look up amplifiers that are from $100.00 below to as high as you can reasonably go without guilt. Then I would search for the most comprehensive and trustworthy reviews of the 5-10 amplifiers that I felt were the best for me. Next I would call local dealers to see if they carried the brands and models that interested me, to arrange a demo and/ or a loner (if I couldn't bring my speakers in for the demo) bearing in mind that you have a limited time to also audition your speakers. Alternatively, you could mail order online if there is a good return policy. One other thing. When you order your speakers ask about cables.

Do all amplifierd working within their linear tange sound equal?

Billy 11 Integrated amp Denafrips Aeres I DAC REL T7i sub The rest on speakers, suggest Magnepan

@@carlosbauza1139That can be a broad question. Considering just four factors of many. Frequency response, loudness, detail retrieval and timbre ( tone to some). Which is the closest to what you are thinking about? Or is it something else?

@@carlosbauza1139 Do all amplifiers working within their linear range sound the same? I don't know, but an interesting question. "Operating within their linear range". Theoretically, like that, maybe they do. Theoretically is one thing, but hooked up to a complex load... that's different. There's differences. Over time however it's become clear to me that amplifiers do sound different ... significantly different. Similarly to certain loudspeaker colorations, once you've heard the characteristic, you become adept at distinguishing that sonic attribute again. There's countless design topologies. Some are complex buttoned down approaches. Some are designed with fewer components and a simpler design. Some circuit approaches yield a different proportion of low order to higher order distortions. There's poorly measuring designs that sound more pleasing than better measuring amplifier designs. Accurately tracking and amplifying the music signal is what the amplifier is tasked with. Once hooked up to a complex load of a loudspeaker makes that task more difficult. Impedance of a single speaker can ranges from very low to high across the music spectrum. Add in the inductive or capacitive aspect that stores and releases energy in anything but a timely linear fashion.

I've been considering that one.

Denon separates and integrated amps are fine. The a/v receivers lie about ratings and are really piss weak. I got rid of mine.

I love my Denon 2313. Works great for surround sound and to feed speakers in my dining room and bedroom. Functions perfectly and it's not my source for feeding upscale speakers. Does Spotify and plays FLAC from a network drive. It does Chromecast fine. It lives with my Samsung TV and Bluray player. All is well. 😀

There is an "audio mall" in Singapore that a vinyl guy Ian walked through that was kind of like it used to be with audio stores on steroids and a day in hifi heaven. Forgot his channel very nice and cool guy.

@@JohnDoe-np3zk I suppose there are a few places around like that but near me you either have BestBuy Ugh, or they are so high end that I feel strange walking in and wasting their time.

Try checking out your local Guitar Center. There are a few studio monitors that use ribbon tweeters. I prefer the sound of ribbon tweeters over dome.

Yahu Nanach vintage , reasonably priced quality gear, especially if is a correctly paired amp and preamp is u deniable....starts w a high current amp....I actually have vintage EMOTIVA prepro and amp which would pair nicely w these speakers. Goota replace the capacitors on all vintage gear, i am searching for a reliable local tech to do that for all my vintage gear this year.

Yes, you're absolutely right! Glad I'm using a sub.

Agreed! I would go ever further and say that most people should consider buying TWO subwoofers, if you can afford it. Having one on each side of my listening room made the soundstage from my speakers appear much larger than my single sub setup.

I've heard SVS might be the best Rock and Blues speaker, but will it handle standards and classical or spoken word without harshness?

@@Diatonic5th I have read this, too, but haven't tried it. Do you give the subs left AND right signals, or are they both on L+R mixed? And what low pass frequency setting do you use?

Build your own subs. Building great speakers is hard. Building great subs is a lot easier. I’l give you a tip, forget the imaginary “one sub” rule that seems to exist. 20hz is a world away from 40hz. Try and make one sub or one pair of subs play the full low frequency range with audiophile accuracy and it’s not going to happen. Too many changes in phase and timing across such a large range. You want a “normal” sub, that plays strong to say, 30hz. And then you want a sub-sub. To play from below 20 to around 30ish. Walk into a hifi store and ask for that and they’l look at you like you’re an idiot 😂

I've been wondering the same.

I am gonna guess the T1+ based on it able to get down to 40 hZ and having a 3 way speaker at least used to be considered a +.

T1+, much better midrange, and more and better bass.

@@SteveGuttenbergAudiophiliac "more and better bass" than the B1+ WITH a decent subwoofer?

Kelly Cook as a T1 owner I’d ask about the size of your room. My smallish living room eats up the mids. Also, I have no neighbors, so when I want thrills I can open the throttle and no one is there to complain! So if you share a wall with another person I might go B1, myself.

T+ with Dual subs!

I was thinking the same, i guess it just comes down to 800 having a higher output but the 800 doesn't have a sub out like the 600. I think for my needs the 600ne would be fine.

They are only sold directly through Emotiva.

Perfect

I have the CA CXR 200.... definitely "audiophile " equipment. Not great for HT but I didn't buy it for that. I'm running Jamo concert series and holy crap they sound fantastic and no love. My step up will be Magnepan 1.7i driven by my citation 7.1. I feel your love of the CA....

2 way, good tho

Nordost.

The emotivas are 4 ohm so uf you habe a good amplifier it will push moe power at 4 ohms, so the Emotivas will play louder if your amp can handle 4 ohms. My Denon AVR-X3300 will run 4ohms but it reduces power. I have an Emotiva BasX 7 channel amp and pushes quite a bit more power at 4 ohms (125 watts) than at 8 ohms (90 watts). I personally love my Emotiva T2+ towers. When at ear level I have to keep checking to make sure my center channel isn't on because it sounds like it is. Very good imaging and soundstage. For the price, detail, and 5 year warranty, I'd go emotiva over Klipsch. Not bashing klipsch by any means but in my opinion the emotivas sound better and arent fatiguing at higher volumes. You really cant beat Emotivas for the price, and I'd bet youd have a hard time finding speakers twice that price that can match them. I have the C2+, T2+, E1+ surrounds and Vaultas for Atmos driven by their basX A7 amp connected to my Denon AVR-X3300 amd two SVS PB2000 subs. Sounds simply amazing.

You should hear my denon 380 hdcd player. It slays it.

Which one did to go with? I'm undecided between Klipsch's and Emotiva right now...

@@i1pro went with the rp-5000f. They are pretty good, but wish I would have gone with the larger woofers. I will probably try something else in the future.
