| Will a subwoofer add depth and clarity to my system, or just bass? I am convinced that adding a pair of subs 1. Improves the bass range2. Cleans up the midrange 3. Widens the sound stage .the key being placement and tuning ie the phase setting and volume of subs.i use my pair of kef blade 2s along with a pair of ... | |
| An encounter and lesson in speaker prices ... Speaking “out of phase” . I have a Bose 901 series vi in my basement which my kids use when they have friends over . The music through thoose even at low volumes gives me a headache and sound so incoherent. Does anyone know if those speakers are w... | |
| Recommendation on power amp @yyzsantabrabaraMy room is quite big , open design 32 by 24 ft with 20 ft ceiling .saw ur LS50s. One of my friends and guide Barry Oder made a system matching Jl Audio subs with the LS50s. He said they were a great match .http://www.soundoctor.com... | |
| Recommendation on power amp @audiotroy, I listened to them in the showroom , the xd 300. He has had them running for a while for me to audition.my impression was the sound was too overbearing for my taste. It seemed to be on steroids.thanks for your input really appreciate it . | |
| Recommendation on power amp The local ayre dealer here would not offer thr home demo I requested .i was surprised cause I was not new to him and had bought other stuff for him. I was shocked he wouldn’t provide that service . His excuse was someone “ earlier had misused the ... | |
| Recommendation on power amp Thank you caphill,i have already the purchased the Ayre MX-r twenties .i have not listened to the Naim.next time I upgrade I will keep them in mind. | |
| Recommendation on power amp Another note, during the comparison I realized that the krell sounds very similar to the parasound jc-1 and I couldn’t justify the “upgrade” but that’s me . | |
| Recommendation on power amp I got a pair of mx-r twenties for my system to replace the jc-1.will use for a week and let everyone know how they sound.the krell sounded a little too aggressive for me . Made music sound loud not smooth and delicate. I preferred the ayre.thanks ... | |
| Recommendation on power amp @notesaddict what speakers do you use with the krell xd 575 . pass labs I am not very excited about the heat . I find the jc-1 very hot running at high bias class A to 25 watts, the way I use them ... again the jc-1 sound very nice and right now ... | |
| Recommendation on power amp Don’t get me wrong , the jc-1 are good amps. When I play my music louder the music seems to get congested. I feel it’s the transition from class a to class a/b operation. And also omg in high bias they cook. I can feel that the bottle neck are the... | |

| Recommendation on power amp I am based in us, I asked John Atkinson recommendation for amp to pair with the kef blade 2 and he wrote back saying the ayre mx-r twenty would sound excellent in my current system.i am now nearly convinced to find myself a pair of mx-r twenty .wi... | |
