| SACD with LFD/ Harbeth I have not heard the SA14S1 but did have its little brother SA8005 in my home for a demo recently.If you are worried about midbass and a slightly rolled off top end then I'm not sure Marantz (assuming the 14S1 and 8005 have the same house sound) i... | |
| HEGEL - Is it really made in Norway ? This thread is devolving rapidly into something not worth reading, way off subject and too much sniping. | |
| OPPO 103 VE 105..... The trouble with using an external DAC with the 103 is DSD, very few DACs can accept it via HDMI without unwanted conversions of some kind or other | |
| oppo 105d mod or look for a new cd player ? I've got the 105D on demo right now. I quite like it now that it seem to have broken in a bit. More open highs than I'm used to, which is good, without being fatiguing.Also excellent as BD player, better than my older Sony, and a joy to use for mu... | |
| Is ARC Updating/Discontinuing the DSi200? Courant, how did the ARC compare with the Modwright?I bought the latter but am considering swapping it out for the Hegel (or ARC if there are any around) | |
| oppo 105d straightup Had the 105D for two days now and finding it sounds rather abrupt for lack of a better term. Leading and trailing edges are sharp, would like things rounded out a bit more (whether or not rounding makes the player more or less "accurate").It's not... | |
| Hegel H300 For the shipping weight of the H300 to be 55lbs the box, styrofoam and manual would need to add up to 12 lbs. Not likely IMHO | |
| Bookshelf Speakers with the decent bass I've heard good things about the Ryan R610 | |
| Why so underwhelmed by Revel F208 audition??? Earlxtr: I have a Modwright KWI200 integrated. In retrospect the Revels weren't terrible, but they were definitely too bright for me. The KEF R700 I tried around the same time had smoother treble IMO | |

| Why so underwhelmed by Revel F208 audition??? I recently heard the F208 and another much more expensive model, 20K+ CDN and thought both were on the dull side.Thought the F206 were great with Cyrus gear so brought 'em home for a demo......awful.Bass was OK, enough of it but I've heard tighter... | |
| Is KEF no longer relevant? Still not sure about the R700's I have home on demo. The dealer will take them back, as agreed but isn't keen to so they are offering to knock off another 10% on an already very good price.They are sounding better as they break in.Tried the Revel ... | |
| Is KEF no longer relevant? I must be getting close to that 100 hour threshold. I think they sound a bit better, the highs seems more prominent though not necessarily as airey as I'd like.Bass performance continues to impress. The dealer said "they don't have much bass" but ... | |
| Hegel H300 vs Naim Supernait 2 vs Modwright KWI200 I have to agree with Jkuc when calling the Hegel more refined.I'm finding the MW coarse in comparison and that characteristic is what is driving me towards the Hegel more than anything else. | |
| Is KEF no longer relevant? Not sure how long it takes to break in these R700's. Left them on all day, probably have about 30 hours on them.So far they're OK, not great, not bad.Bass better than expected but that may be the amp and positioning.One review mentions they can be... |
