    The Best Franco Serblin Designed Loudspeaker?

    Sold my Extremas as my new place in Colorado with an open floor plan isn't suited for lots of equipment, so I replaced them with Dutch & Dutch 8Cs. They were amazing speakers (although I do love the D&D 8Cs), though, and should I get a hankering in the future to go back to traditional...

    Is iPad/Laptop as Streamer Good Enough?

    As I’ve aged, I have elected to simplify and am quite satisfied. MacBook used as a Roon core to Ethernet switch to Dutch & Dutch 8Cs. That is currently my entire system. No interconnects, no power amp, no preamp, no DAC, no streamer. Admittedly, it takes the fun out of tinkering with various mix...

    Dutch & Dutch 8c Speakers

    I’ve had the 8C’s for around a month now after having had at least 15 pairs of speakers in the last 20 years. All I can say is I am blown away and 100% satisfied. Streaming Roon, my only component is my laptop. Simply incredible base and clarity. You can’t go wrong with the 8C’s. I haven’t heard...

However, for some reason my Windows PC which I’m using as my core works fine on Wifi but if I connect the Ethernet to the computer it’s glitchy. Why would...

    This is insane...the Quad ESL

    Another restorer in the USA is Sheldon Stokes in Maine. I imagine there have to be good Quad restorers in the UK, their birthplace.

    Dutch & Dutch 8c Speakers

    So power adaptor into Ethernet switch and then out of switch to each speaker and Roon core? I have the Cisco switch with several Ethernet ports I used to get optical cables into Lumin X1 so I imagine that will work?

    Dutch & Dutch 8c Speakers

    Tom, my router is not near the location of the Dutch and Dutch speakers I intend to purchase in the near future. Will a wireless access point with ethernet cables coming from it work sufficiently with the speakers, or do you think the ethernet cables need to be hardwired into the speakers...

    Dutch & Dutch 8c Speakers

    I believe this is correct. You’d only need AES if you were streaming with a digital steamer like a Lumin.
