| Sonus Faber Stradivari Thanks everyone! I'm leaning toward the Strads right now. Just have to sell some other things first! | |
| Sonus Faber Stradivari Thanks Larry. I agree. I'm also looking at the Focal Maestros. My dealer called me last night with a deal that is almost too good to pass up. I'm going to go have a listen to them. He also sells DynAudio and some other things, so I think in that p... | |
| Sonus Faber Stradivari Thanks - just read it. Seems like there is a lot of love for the Strads. | |
| Magnepan mg1.6 vs mg1.7 bass quality? I've owned the 1.6's and 1.7's and eventually, 3.7's. Of the 1. series, they are both excellent, but I preferred the 1.6's....maybe it was a case of absence makes the heart grow fonder...I don't know. I paired them both with a little Sunfire sub. ... | |
| The truth on low efficiency speakers like B&W? I've learned the hard way to look carefully at a speakers efficiency rating. A lot of people say buy the speakers and then the amps. This approach doesn't work for me. If you're like me and you've found wonderful tube amps that you just can't live... | |
| Should I spike my B&W 804D's I would NOT put the spikes on with the hardwood. Speaking from experience, it will ruin the hardwood and gain you very little in sound. | |
| Revel Salon2/Studio2/Voice2 amplification??? I am going through a similar dilemma. With that size of room - I think tubes are definitely out of the question. A lot depends on budget, but I would look at the Levinson No53s. The 1.2kw McIntosh or 601's are another possibility. The Classe CA-M6... | |
| Rogue M-180 vs BAT vk150se Guys - what about the McIntosh MC2301's? I may have to sell a kidney....but.... | |
| Rogue M-180 vs BAT vk150se Btselect - outside the BAT/Rogue 180's - do you have any other suggestions that I should look at for my setup? I've been reading lots about the McIntosh Mc2301 amps - but that is big time $$.Now that I have made the decision to go all tube....I'll... | |
| Rogue M-180 vs BAT vk150se Chrissain - what are you thinking of putting on the bottom? Something like a big McIntosh SS amp? | |
| Power suggestion? Foster - give the Classe CP-800 a listen to. That's what I'm using now. I think it's outstanding. | |
| Mirage OMD-28 vs Revel Salon2 Thanks Johnny. | |
| Tube vs SS vs Digital Hi everyone,Thanks for the responses. No chance of getting different speakers for the foreseeable future. Maybe Quads one day or KEF 207/2 or B&W - all would be on par with what I have now, with there own strengths and weaknesses no double So,... | |
| BEST SUB FOR HT:MUSIC 50-50 Mark Seaton Subs. Just google it. Awesome. I own two submersives. | |
| Equipment that has made you 'stop' looking? Classe' CP-800 Preamp. The Preamp is one of the finest I have heard. The DAC built in IS the best I've heard. The headphone amp is outstanding. Bass management function is awesome. Flawless HT bypass. The product truly is revolutionary. I could go... |
