| Realistically, will the Spendor S 3/5 work for me? Oh, I definitely was planning on buying a used pair, then sell them if they do not work out and lose little or nothing at all. I might still do this, this way I will know for sure. Yep, thus the way of Audiogon eh!! The only thing I am scared of i... | |
| Realistically, will the Spendor S 3/5 work for me? Thanks for the respones thus far, I appreciate it. My feeling was, as Sean and Kotta have eluded to, is they would likely work marginally. Viridian feels it just would not work, and I can understand this point of view as well. I must confess somet... | |
| $800 Integrated LFD Mistral fits this bill. | |
| Non fatigueing speaker under 1500 Rg- In what ways are the ProAc's "in a whole other league" compared to Meadowlarks? I mean this in no argumentative way, I'm just curious to hear what it is specifically. I have never heard the 1SC's. Are you talking better in every way or better ... | |
| Non fatigueing speaker under 1500 I too agree you have a good list going. I'd add spendor to the list as well.I just received a new pair of the Meadowlark Swallow's, the monitor version of the new Swift, a couple weeks ago and they are absolutely fantastic. I echo all that Mike of... | |
| New Meadowlark Swallow monitor Thanks. Pat McGinty was telling me they are built like tanks, he's very excited about them. Are you familiar with the Kestrals and how the Swift compares to them? I'm getting a sense that the Swifts outperform the Kestral, which I believe I have a... | |
| new system for beginner Wirehead has some very good advice. Give us a little more info about your musical tastes and how you listen. Also, budget would be good to know as well. Try and break it all down in your head and figure out what you would be willing to pay for the... | |
| Anyone tried Voodoo or TG Audio PCs? I have tried a HSR-i on both my integrated and CDP and I found they were great cords. I had them on loan for a short time from TG Audio (Bob). They greatly improved the bass, it was more taut and defined but also deeper. Resolution and dynamics we... | |
| Audio refinement vs AA Puccini vs Linn M I don't have experience with the Puccini or the Linn myself but do own the Audio Refinement and I love it. Too refined like the other poster said? Not to me, I find it a nice blend of solid state and tubes, sounding refined but still very up beat ... | |
| Audio refinement complete amp. I own the Complete integrated and CDP and I too can't say enough about them. Excellent pieces. Check the reviews at Audio Review, I posted a lengthy one there myself. | |
| Best Monitors used under $800 Hard to beat the Reynaud Twin MK2 at $745. Amazing. | |
| BEST Power Cable Under $100 Ironically the guy Camadeco is recommending makes his cords with the Belden #19364 cordage I am referring to. These cords are very easy to make. There are several places on line and maybe even near you that sells the Belden #19364 cordage by the f... | |
| BEST Power Cable Under $100 Another possiblity is DIY Belden cords. I have built a number of these, each cord cost about $20 to make. No soldering or anything like that, very easy to make. I have compared these cords to the $100 LAT International AC-2 and the $200+ TG Audio ... | |
| ~$1k Monitors...So Many Choices... I have the Reynaud Twin MK2's and they are absolutely staggering! I owned a pair of B&W CDM1's prior to this and it's no comparison, these speakers are so good it about makes you cry. The above poster who mentions the 100 hour break in is corr... | |
| $1k speakers / Audio Refinement Complete > About the only definitive recommendations I'll venture > are that the ARC does indeed roll the top octave 1 dB > @10k, 3dB @ 20k, so a "dark" monitor may not be > synergistic I don't agree with this and never have. I do not feel the ... |
