    7:25 they don't have a characteristic tube amps sound.. this the problem with commercially produced tube amps. They apply global negative feedback to keep the THD % as low as possible, because this looks good on the sales brocher and very appealing to naive commercial tube amp buyers. However, it kills the classic tube sound of warmth, organics, and weight in the music. Also, they use the cheapest and crappiest new production tubes possible.

    You can never replace Aurender (any model) with your Apple products as audio streaming transport! Comparing Apple products to an audiophile brand like Aurender is irrelevant. Apple is NOT an audiophile audio specialty company but just an electronic company. In my Hi-Fi setup, 3 iPads are the only Apple products used as display remotes.

    Most "audiophiles" buy speakers ...then buy music they don't like to get the most out of the speakers. Makes no sense. Im all about broadening your horizens but not just to hear the spit coming out the singers mouth or them turning the pages of the lyrics while their singing. I would rather save some cash and get the model that gives you real world, everyday performance for things your do everyday...like watch TV, Play video games, and listen to low quality streaming music since physical media isn't as hot as it once was even though it's making a huge comeback. I know Im not running out and buying a record player and a bunch of albums from artist I don't really care for the music just to hear the shining parts of my speakers.

    I love these speakers! I cut em at 60hz. Great two channel paired with a couple subs... Great primarys for home theatre. Forward sounding Klipsch is crisp with a fair amount of low end extension while the mids are spot on...Also fantastic at lower volumes... Zero complaints! Would highly recommend. 😊

    These speakers are so inert sometimes it can be to much, it takes away a lot of musicality from some recordings,precision can be a distraction when you get this inert,it sounds to clinical,a problem you get when you have these meca built speakers you have to be very selective what you pare them with

    I just want to use one earphone and don't want to be tired of switching devices all the time depending on the type of music. I listen to 80% classical and 20% jazz and pop. I have also seen the mm500 so far, and I think the instrument part is quite good, and the vocals are in the front, so the female voice sounds good. Do you recommend other headphones at this level? I think the sound field of the mm500 is okay. For classical music, the instrument tone is not too modified. , the low-frequency dive is enough for jazz. I don’t know if I understand this right?
