| Sonus Faber Minima versus Cremona Auditor? Hello Marty - That sounds reasonable, though I haven't tried a subwoofer yet. My main floor speakers are at full volume still down to about 37 Hz before sharply dropping off, and that seems *almost* sufficient for me, maybe because I haven't exper... | |
| Sonus Faber Minima versus Cremona Auditor? Marty - thanks for this unexpected opinion. I would have thought the Auditors would have more bass than the Minimas. Why would the Auditors need a sub more than the Minimas?My Quad 12L's are currently on my computer desktop, and that would be the ... | |
| Sonus Faber Minima versus Cremona Auditor? It seems many people agree that the Minima (original or vintage) and Auditor (original or M) are both exceptional speakers, but what I'm hoping for are some opinions on the sonic similarities/differences between these. The prices are in a similar ... | |
| Sonus Faber Minima versus Cremona Auditor? Hello Jaybo - I was hoping you in particular might respond to this. I have been waiting on a list at a shop for a long time for original Minimas, but none have come-up so far. In the meantime, Cremona Auditors sometimes do. Have you (or anyone out... | |

| Yamaha NS1000M Help, Advice, PLEASE Good choice and lucky find. I live in Japan and I've had a pair of NS-1000X's for many years, and like them so much I finally got a second pair. I've A/B compared them to many, many high-end speakers and in many systems at the shops over the years... | |
| Peachtree Audio iDecco & iPod/iPhone Compatibility Kbarkamian - I don't think we're supposed to put links in here, but if you Put "iPod dock extension cable" (quotes not needed) in Google lots of links come up. I think the more popular one is Cablejive via Amazon, but don't quote me on that. I got... | |
| Bookshelf Speakers for Master Bedroom How about a used pair of B&W 805s? That would be right about the top of your budget, and B&W often pairs them with Rotel. I haven't heard them with Rotel, but I do play an iDecco through another amp (Luxman L-507) to mine, and the iDecco s... | |
| Peachtree Audio iDecco & iPod/iPhone Compatibility Hello HappybobI got the very first iDecco in Japan a few months ago. I use my iDecco two ways simultaneously, both with really good results. I use an iMac or iPod as source, but when guests come over they like to plug in their iPhone, and I've nev... | |
| no synergy My 805N's sound excellent with an original (ca 1973~1978) Luxman L-507 amp, and with even sweeter highs with my pure class A Luxman 550 (1981~1984). The L-507 costs about US$500, and the 550 about US$1000 here in Japan. For shipping, the 507 weigh... | |
| Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope? I got my first set of serious equipment while she was in her home country visiting family. When asked, I just explained how "cheap' it all was, knowing myself that I was speaking in relative terms. She accepted it pretty well because it all sounde... | |
| Luxman L505u . . . why not? I just purchased a fine example of the first issue of the L-550 series, which from 1981 was also the last of the great Luxman series before Alpine took them over and ruined Luxman's reputation in 1984. This is a pure class A amp, like it's modern ... | |
| Best budget speakers for near-field/small space I was totally blown away Adam a7 actives. Much clearer, better imaging, everything better to my ear than any I heard by Dynaudio or Mackie, several models of which I compared them to back-to-back for several hours with a very wide range of music. ... | |
| Room treatment advice needed I know this is stupid, guys, but I solved my problem. I just moved my Luxman amp and CD player in from the other room, and wa-la! It sounds absolutely superb. The bass in my office is even better from the new Yammies on cement blocks than in my li... | |
| Room treatment advice needed Rrog - Thanks! That sounds like rational advice. I was just about to start moving stuff around. I'll try taking them off the blocks, etc, first. As for cables, I have another set of these speakers in another room, where they sound great. I'll try ... |
