| Revel or Aerial If it were me I would keep the speakers and get some better electronics. A great preamp is indispensable in a great system and I doubt running the M51 as a pre will be as good as a great preamp. If it were me I would take all the money you are wil... | |
| Your favorite musical non fatiguing speakers? I think of dynaudio as easy to listen to speakers. With any speakers though the electronics will have a huge impact. | |
| Fake Audioquest sky cables I won't ever buy Audioquest either. This combined with their vague attitude toward it makes me think something is very fishy with them | |
| How are music downloads 'upsampled'? No use in converting mp3 to apple lossless just uses up more hard drive space. You could even go all out and convert to 24/192. I have to wonder if that is all they have done with some of the hi Rez downloads they are selling now. I have closely c... | |
| Fake Audioquest sky cables I saw some unreal deals on sky on eBay. It seemed to good to be true so I asked Audioquest and they were very vague and wouldn't give me a straight answer. The seller on eBay got weird when I asked him if they were definitely authentic and told me... | |
| Best cheap speaker cables............again I would suggest Grover Huffman cables. Look up the reviews. I have tried some very pricey stuff and settled with the Grovers. | |
| Integrateds: $3K, $4.5K or $5K I guess you have to cut it off somewhere but there are so many integrated amps out that worth considering. As mentioned the Ayre is a great one. I would also add the Krell s300-i, the Creek Destiny and the Simaudio i5.3. These are all top notch an... | |
| Isolation platforms for turntables I agree that you should not have all that gear between the speakers if possible. A lot of times it's not possible though and you have to work with what you've got. It's quite amazing how much difference you can hear though when you move your racks... | |
| Dynaudio Focus 110.....Integrated amp???? Creek Destiny and Simaudio i5.3 sounded great with the Dynaudios I tried them with. I have not listened to my Krell s300-i with my Dynaudios but I would guess that would be a good match as well. I think the Simaudio and Dynaudio had a pretty great... | |
| New Quickview Feature: Huh? Haha they deleted our posts. | |
| Suggestions for New/Used amp under $3500 Interesting price range to be looking in. It will also be interesting if you can do better than the CIA amps. I hope you can keep us posted on how things work out. I've always wonder how amps like the Odyssey or Emotiva would sound. I had the VS V... | |
| Recommendation for Integrated Amp w/ Big Sound I'd say one of the best you can find in that price range would be the Creek 5350SE. Almost as good as a Creek Destiny. If you could jump up and you are looking for big and bold then the Krell s300i would definitely fit the bill. I recently got one... | |
| Advice on monitor/bookshelves under $2,000 Personally if I were you I would look for a better amp. I'm not surprised you didn't like the B&W with that amp. No matter how good of speaker you get it won't produce magic driven by a mid grade surround receiver. I'm not a theatre guy but if... | |
| what cables for Krell 300i and Revel M20 suggest I got the Krell integrated. Holy crap what a huge upgrade from the Creek 4330 I had hooked up temporary. I cannot believe how much better this things sounds. This is my first Krell. I cannot understand what all the Krell hating is all about there ... | |
