  1. Resurrecting this listing. We've moved into a new house and I used this for a bit in the living room, but have since decided to change things up and these are too big for my office. As we build our new house I'm considering an overall downsize and simplification of my living room system. We mostly watch TV and play background music in the living room and it's a bit of a waste. I'll have a dedicated office and now work from home, so I want my HiFi system in there. It's only 11.5x11.5, however, and this setup will just fit but I'm not sure how well it will sound in there with only about 6-8ft of listening distance. As a package: 2x LS bass bins from 1988. Tops were chopped and I've added 3/4" plywood to the tops,R/L sides, and bottoms. I routed out the naturally occurring bottom cavities in the back and added speak on connectors. Painted flat black. Nice appearance, but not perfect. 2x HF sections. Each consists of 2 stacked Large ESS AMT 1 drivers, wired in series. Each stack is installed in a custom birch ply wing enclosure. Painted flat black. 1x Yamaha SP-2060 digital crossover. Excellent condition. Moved to separate thread. 1x lab gruppen C 10:8x amp (currently running 4 channels bridged for all HF and LF sections) No longer available. Cables to connect DSP to amp, amp to speakers. No longer available The paint is ok, but nothing remarkable. I'd consider it a good base/primer layer. Open to trade offers for smaller footprint speakers of good audio quality (Buchardt, JBL, Klipsch, etc) $2,500 $1,250 for everything above, local pickup or figure out your own shipping/pony express. Here's my old build thread for the LS bass bins, some rough ideas on what was done:
  2. Bump. Removed the DAC, updated price to reflect PA5 only.
  3. Buy these, so I can get my minidsp! Open to reasonable offers, in consideration that I'm eating $50-75 in paypal and shipping fees.
  4. That's memory. Try reseating your memory, run memtest, or look at buying replacement.
  5. I too have this Xover and use monoprice RCA to XLR cables (Stage Right series) between my Marantz AVR and the Yamaha. My amps utilize balanced phoenix connectors so I bought monoprice XLR to XLR (again, Stage Right series) and cut off one end for the interconnects between the Yamaha and amps. Absolutely no issues whatsover.
  6. I have one for sale (and a D10 balanced DAC + interconnects) if anyone is looking to get LNIB for slightly less than MSRP.
  7. Used for two months. DAC has been withdrawn and selling the PA5 on its own, only. Silver and includes boxes and OEM accessories. $500 $300 for the PA5, shipped and PP'd in the CONUS.
  8. Open to offers.. I need to buy a high end office chair ASAP.
  9. Excellent condition with light work use. Changed jobs and new place is anti-BYOD, so this is now redundant in my house. Including a Dell WD15 usb-c dock and power brick. $1250 $950 shipped and paypal'd to conUS. SOLD. Traded locally (for a fancy desk chair, no less).
  10. Same.. It's possible your pc's compute resources are insufficient for the DSD to PCM conversion and you're getting artifacts as a result. Need more details about the signal chain, and a screen shot of ROON similar to what we've posted above. I'd be interested to see a screen shot of your task manager (performance tab) while playback is happening as well.
  11. Get a DAC that supports native DSD. I use a topping D10 as a pretty low cost barrier to entry for this exact scenario.
  12. Very much enjoying the combo. Not earth shatteringly different than the AVR I had in place, but I definitely am reaching the limits of these speakers' capability without a subwoofer, using very little power to do so. For nearfield, sitting at my desk, this is perfect.
  13. Mine should be arriving Monday. Also picked up the D10 balanced to go with it for my desktop system (replacing an overkill Denon AVR), powering a pair of kpt-100's. I already had a D10s and slid that over to my living room setup so that I could have native DSD playback there.
  14. 7.2 AVR in excellent shape. Purchased from A4Less and used almost exclusively as a pre-amp. I've since reduced to a stereo system in my main and looking to sell this and buy something smaller for a desktop stereo system, for which this is both overkill and physically bigger than it needs to be. https://www.denon.com/en-us/product/av-receivers/avr-x3400h Ships in original box and comes with accessories including a new remote and the measurement mic with an extension cable. $550 shipped and paypal'd in the CONUS via FedEx. SOLD
  15. The roon interface is better and Plex doesn't support multi-device playback/control. Minor things to some, big deal to others (think: the couch experience)
