| Revel F228BE Most reports from those who have heard them are extremely positive. There have been a lot of comments on them after they were displayed at AXPONA in April. I thought they sounded excellent, paired with the Mark Levinson 585 integrated amp. They... | |
| $20k speakers that really impressed you Not sure they will be $6k-$7k in a few years, but the Legacy Audio Aeris are just phenomenal when set up optimally. | |
| Kanta line I wonder how that Kanta No. 3 might compare to Sopra 2? | |
| Best used speakers under $10000 @ soix, marrduk24I heard that set of Rockport Aquila in Houston, and at that price, that has to be the deal of the century! The owner was a gracious host for the audition and is great to work with. The only issue is, those things are BIG speaker... | |
| Anthem getting into two channel with new STR pre-amp-- anyone heard it? @ jafantThanks. I haven't done anything yet. My daughter just started college last week, so I'm having trouble justifying a big purchase right now. Actually, what I have now identified and am lusting for is the Mark Levinson 526 pre-amp. It's ... | |
| SS Preamp to go with Revel Salon 2s Since some of your options include DACs, the new Anthem STR pre-amp is getting good reviews, and has a nice DAC and phono input. And HT bypass, of course. | |
| Narrowed to 3: 802D3, Sopra 3, Reference 3 @ nathansaudioYes, that larger mid driver on the Aeris is just awesome. When set up optimally, the Aeris can render male baritone voice and lower mid frequencies like no other that I've heard. Try Leonard Cohen's Alleluia and some of Boz Scaggs ... | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? Well, to me there is a problem with this whole notion. I mean, different instruments will their produce their signature timbre at different frequencies. Is this not correct? Wouldn't a flute's timbre be reproduced at a higher frequency than a c... | |

| Monitor Audio Pl 300ii vs. KEF Reference 5 @ fast"The MAs do not provide as much instrumental detail but they do have a more mellow, deeper, broader sound"I have to say, you perfectly nailed my impression of the PL 300 II when I heard them in Houston. It seemed like they had way too much ... | |
| Opinions on best integrated under 10k? " So not sure where I will end up yet, maybe I will just end buying a MA7900 or ML585 and be done with it all. "Yeah, you're about where I am in thinking about this whole thing. There is also the new(ish) Anthem STR integrated, which has DAC and... | |
| How to match preamp and power amp? The pre-amp specs I'm researching indicates: XLR Maximum output level>22VRMS.The power amp is a Krell FPB 400cx. | |
| How to match preamp and power amp? So, my power amp specs indicate an input impedance of 100 kOhms, and an input sensitivity of 2.71 Vrms. The amp has only XLR inputs on it. Would I be correct to assume that most SS pre-amps would work well? The pre-amp I'm researching indicate... | |
| LOUNDSPEAKER FOR $10,000.00 PER PAIR Wow, that is such a hotly contested price point! Your list so far is great. I’d add:New Magico A3, Used Sonus Faber Olympical III(actually available around $7K, and great for your symphony sound stage requirement),Legacy Audio Focus SE, Used Rockp... | |
| Sellers adding for PayPal use is plainly BS I just don't pay any attention to the whole "PayPal, add 3%" thing. If want to buy an item, I'll just let the seller know the total amount I'll pay. The seller can take it or decline to sell. |
