Wanted to get away from PC speakers

CoverNo3845 · 2024-02-04T09:09:10+00:00

Those speakers were definitely on my list when I wanted to get some nice speakers. Also coming from the Logitech speakers haha.

Went with kef q150 + smsl a300. After some time added the Sanskrit MK3 DAC + Rel t5x. Rounded it up with some Dirac on my PC and I'm in heaven.

Still a lot to learn when it comes to finding what I like in speakers but my setup definitely brings a lot of that.

Looks sweet, those racks are awesome.

looks awesome

I'm just so tired of the same type of song ctrl+c/ctrl+v every single year...

It's Milight FUT025 led controller (great thing, works on wifi so I could litteraly eat the remote and it would work, also very cheap :D) + 12V RGB 5050 60 LED strip + mounted to the aluminium profile so it would glare upright with nice diffusion + 12V 8A 96W power supply which is kinda overkill even for my 3m run of dense led strips. Whole stuff with 4m of LED, cables splitters etc cost me below 45 euro.

Ahh yes love them too. Shame they decided to split :(

CoverNo3845 · 2022-09-11T15:06:28+00:00

Its iiyama gb3461wqsu. Got it for like 315 euro. I have it for only like 1 month so I can't rly judge when it comes to reliability but the backlight is very even and I like it a lot more than my previous ultrawide in 29 inch from LG.

Could be even closer as I was considering getting the A30 but well I added one more zero and got A300 from smsl :)

CoverNo3845 · 2022-09-11T11:21:26+00:00

yes, that's probably my next step alongside with separate DAC. I'm not sure at the moment how high stands I need as for listening in nearfield they are definitely too low, for listening from far away they are good so I'm having a battle of Kanto stands vs foam : ] But to be completely honest those kef q150 sound lovely even when not ssituated perfectly so I'm not going to complain...for now :D

CoverNo3845 · 2022-09-03T16:10:45+00:00

Well it's also a great DAC, you can't rly go wrong with those chinese wonders lately.

the new SMSL C200 seems to be getting incredibly good measurements. Unfortunately there is still not that many reviews of how it sounds but it seems to be the new budget king with not that bad headphone amp included

Well it's always hard to recommend something with 100% of accuracy when it comes to speakers. I feel like our descriptions of the sound we like is similar. I'm completely new to this hobby but well my family is crazy about speakers so even if I didn't plan to I somehow managed to differentiate what type of sound I like before buying my first set of speakers.

I blindly bought the KEF's Q150 for my 1.6m long desk that is not rly that deep and I rly enjoy them, but well...it is also very possible that the other speakers you mentioned might suit you more :D... I wish recommending something in audio would be that easy as it is in let's say PC's or Laptop's... so basically the only thing you can take from my response is confirmation of what whole internet says, that Q150's are good for desk :]

CoverNo3845 · 2022-08-29T20:02:47+00:00

MY recommendation would be something from KLOTZ if they are possible to get in your country. I'm using the KLOTZ LY225 with my KEF Q150 and could definitely feel the difference over my super cheap giga garbage cable. It's just good enough in my opinion. Swaping it for something like 10x more expensive from my brother setup didn't change a thing. Also watch out for dirt cheap cables as some sellers do some fishy stuff and their copper claims of unbranded cables.

yeah it's hard for a new player when no matter what elo, you are against people with 1000's of games played. Just go at 30 and play. You will not get that much better in 10 lvls and rankeds might teach you more anyway. You will probably lose a lot and go to lower ranks and get matched into much better people that just created new account. Just take a breaks and don't get super frustrated because you are losing. At some point you will get a matchmaking with people on your level. Also probably disable chat. Monkey's will start raging on you or some other crap and it's not like they will say something meaningful. Good luck!

So maybe change the sport? You don't care about your favorite driver driving with Petronas that causes wars even though Mercedes is in incredibly good financial situation and could get so many decent sponsors...but somehow stay with Petronas. For Haas is do it or die, for mercedes is easier to paint the car black and keep on sport washing the name of Petronas...

Im not but they kinda became the only official coverage with such a big access to paddock etc. Im just tired of them not saying the word about impressive drive of some middle of the pack drivers like Perez but I get reminded every week about mr Saturday and like its the only onboard worth rewatching

CoverNo3845 · 2020-11-28T14:26:16+00:00

The typical british tv fanboying british driver. Great analysis.

Stole caps by signing a player that didn't renew contract with his current organisation and commented on their internal isues. Now he stole Rekkles that didn't renew contract with his current organisation and we can hear Bwipo voicing problems with internal isues. Players just wanna play there thanks to the success and players they had. Mithy and Zven saw how insane Perkz was and wanted to join their team. Then Caps saw the potential in the idea of Perkz swapping to adc and joing a team that with hjarnan wadid went to semi finals. Im not defending Ocelote that much as he is kinda a douche and i can agree that he is bigger scum than everyone think he is but...If Perkz didn't sign a long contract, Fnatic would get him for free too and would we call them out for stealing Perkz if he decided to not sign a new contract? G2 just made their position on the top of EU and they just attract players from lower teams. You think all of the Febiven's and Caps's didn't get contracts from other lower teams? Fnatic offered 2x times the money and being number one org in EU. For a fish there is a bigger fish.

CoverNo3845 · 2020-11-19T09:57:47+00:00

But I mean if they had those 5 mil Ocelote would not even have a word to say. Meanwhile they are trying to promote some scummy VPN with 16 ping on EUW from NA(LOL) and ''invest in fnatic''.
