| Plinius 8200 mk2, really low volume!! If the above doesn’t work, try a Belles Aria integrated with built in phono. Great synergy with the Vandersteen. Best..... | |
| What are the best loudspeakers under $4000 to re-create lifelike piano Tannoy........ Vandy and Maggie aren’t the only ones around here with coherence, tonality, truth of timbre, dynamics and scale. Incredible with voice as well. Play well with most all genres.Think used Turnberry SE or possibly Kensington SE. Pe... | |
| Merlin speakers @signaturesound ......Rich you’re keeping Bobby’s legacy alive...no doubt. Thanks for doing so! Best....... | |
| Merlin speakers @mpit, yes Bobby definitely was a great person. Miss him and his speakers! Reach out to Rich Brkich @ Signature Sound. He should be able to help.Best.... | |
| VTL Service ?? This is why I just opted for a Manley Jumbo Shrimp over the VTL 2.5 mk II. This kind of information really helps as customer service is very important to me as well. Thanks everyone. Best....... | |
| Proac D48R @milpai ....congrats on your Proacs! I know you’ve spent some time researching and listening to various speakers. Glad you chose the speaker that is best for you. Keep us posted on when they arrive and your impressions. Best.... | |
| Dealers hijacking the discussions @bar81 .....+1. Even The Roman Empire fell.....the way this site is headed IMO .....definitely a possibility. | |
| I Find Primalunas Ugly. How about You? Is there an alternative? @mulveling ....totally agree. PL is not my cup of tea either, but I’m much more concerned with sound than looks. Give me substance. Perhaps that’s why we’re Tannoy aficionados. Best..... | |
| Audible Illusions M3B with Aragon amp? Ideally you'd want an amp with 100kohm input impedance like a Belles or McCormack. Probably others I can think of right now. By the way, the AI and Belles amp have been a classic combination for years. The inline attenuators appear to be a clev... | |
| Cardas: Cross vs. Reference and Clear +1 @garebear . It's totally why I don't come here that often anymore. Moved on to other sites where at least they know what the hell they're talking about or they don't pretend so. Best..... | |
| Sadly missed manufacturers Merlin & Thiel. Owned both. Haven't been the same since I sold them! I know, time to move on already. Have to locate some used ones, especially the Merlins. Best...... | |
| Need a new amplifier. Need a good match for my Audio Research LS7 preamp @hansk46 .....very good point. IIRC that would rule out the Muse. Belles and Classe still viable options. soix's McCormack recommendation is even better imo as you do get a more refined and neutral amp with the correct input impedance. The McC... | |
| Need a new amplifier. Need a good match for my Audio Research LS7 preamp To compound the issue, the ARC LS7 is inherently brighter and livelier. I know, I had one. That's what was so enjoyable about it. However, it needs to be mated to a warm amp. The Muse as timlub mentioned would be great if you can find one. An... | |
| Standmount speakers with Line Magnetic 518 SET amp? Audition some Proac d2. Great match with LM. Best..... | |
| Amplification for Dynaudio Contour 3.4 LE - strange results obtained so far Hi Fritz, Belles still exists. One might say he is going stronger than ever with his newer Aria line of amps an preamps. The Soloist 1 would certainly do a great job as it offers plenty of current. The other alternative is a pair of the Aria mo... |
