| PEACHTREE GRAND X-1 INTEGRATED DEFECT PROBLEMS Nice, should sound great. Take a moment after it's all set up and let us know how it works out. | |
| PEACHTREE GRAND X-1 INTEGRATED DEFECT PROBLEMS What speakers will it be pushing? | |
| Is it just me or do others really miss A/D/S? I still remember how excited I was to find a used pair of L570s buried under a shelf at a Boston pawn shop, covered in dust. This was back in '95 I think, before my income allowed me to spend more time with better equipment. I couldn't throw my mo... | |
| PEACHTREE GRAND X-1 INTEGRATED DEFECT PROBLEMS Actually if you go to the Peachtree website you can read about the existence of the large quantity (relatively speaking) of refurbs of the X-1. It's unrelated to a defect - it's a matter of a new feature being added after units had been released t... | |
| Speaker decision $3000-3500...help >>Class D amps have come a long way. Listen with your own ears, before you take someone's advice. THIS is good advice from Ricred1. Blindly ruling out Class D amps is myopic and dumb. Try one first. I made the mistake of giving too much cred... | |
| audiphile power cords Mitch4t asked if any component manufacturer has gotten on board with recommending aftermarket power cords...When shopping for an integrated amp last year ($4500 piece of equipment) I spent some time with a tech from the company discussing my speak... | |
| Subwoofer: should we even use them at all? Just think about what it means for someone to say that others shouldn't use a piece of equipment in their home system that they enjoy, and that improves the overall presentation to THEIR ears. I personally don't think people should put hot fudge o... | |
| Quad 22L2 >>Don't get any answers from companies using Chinese factories because they don't have any. Not always true. I needed help with a new base for a set of B&W PM1, which are built in China (something fell and damaged the original) and calle... | |
| What to use in polishing high quality wood speaker My dealer guy (place I bought my Proacs) told me to use Daddy Van's Unscented Beeswax Polish. It's not silicon based, no alcohol. | |
| B&W 805D alternatives I've never heard the 805D (only the 805 and 805 Sig), but I can tell you you're under-powering them, so not surprised you're itching to do something else. My Proacs would probably pair great with your McIntosh, but I think the 805D needs lots more... | |
| Best Hi-end speakers? Paraneer and Davt nailed it - there is absolutely no way anybody can give you a recommendation that will be very helpful, because there's too much information missing from the equation, AND speakers are very much a personal taste. The best way to ... | |

| Service from Audio Research My experience with ARC has also been excellent, albeit simply for fuses, tube recommendations, packaging replacement and such. I've not needed repairs. But Kalvin has been great about replying quickly and follow-up. I'm sure you'll be taken care o... | |
| Proac 3.8 / amp match I should have also mentioned that I have an ARC VSi55 in the same room, that I use in the colder months, and I like the Peachtree + Proac combo just as much as the ARC + Proac combo. Only difference is one doubles as a little space heater when it'... | |
| Proac 3.8 / amp match I'm pushing Proac D2 monitors with a Peachtree Grand X-1 Integrated. Yes, the 3.8 are a completely different animal from the D2, but the Peachtree Grand puts out 440 class-D wpc, so power and control wouldn't be an issue with the 3.8. My setup sou... |
