Dear Randy, aka CHAM (Cheap Audio Man),
As I am crying tears of joy to the sounds of my new system just connected,π
I wanted to thank you for all the videos you made,
and all the money you saved me (that I didn't have anyways).
Sys: SMSL SU1 DAC + Fosi T20X AMP (also does headphones) + JBL A130 (Discontinued wonder) π€€
Album: Cigarettes after S-x

Way cool. SPEAKERS question... (Aside: love the travel slice. Thinking about getting Malaysia's visa (MM2H) but that's another topic.)
I got a really good impression of the tall speakers you reviewed... Emotiva Tall not short... And I can see you're sticking to a budget here... But if you had the whole budget to drop on just one thing? The Emotiva TALL, right?
Just for fun: For a long time, my system was Chromecast Audio plugged into JBL Charge 3s, paired. Then I wanted Zu Dirty Weekend passives (extremely efficientπ) so I needed an amp. Got Klipsch Powergate (close out pricing) and moved the Chromecast Audio to input on that. (ASR data showed that little amp was great at, like $85?)
The wiim amp was a vast simplification and has all the assistants, so I retired the Klipsch + Chromecast Audio.
In an unrelated simplification, I got divorced and since I was moving stuff anyway, I took a minute to plug the TV into the Wiim and retire my Sony soundbar+sub. Way, way, simpler now ...on so many many levels.
(Aside: I believe the Chromecast Is actually a pretty good DAC, but I assume the wiim amp onboard DAC is new enough to automatically be better... hold that thought.)
Now then, the ASR people don't like Zu. I like 'em fine, but I hate to pass up a deal. Emotiva has been on my radar π since shopping amps the first time... But these tall horns look like they'd be a very good buy (a great bang for every little buck) and then I can fiddle with DAC when I have time... I want to understand why op amps are a thing...
So just for fun, your budget cutoff on speakers seems to me like it leaves some value on the table, as compared to the tall speakers... though a budget is a budget! And I think i paid too much for the Zu pair... so I'm asking... π
Love your content! ...So far I'm resisting watches after selling my Cartier... But that too is a whole 'nother conversation. Cheers bro!
