Driving MBL 121: Accuphase or Gryphon
Having owned the Nuforce SEV2's for the past 2 years, then switching to the Pass 350.5, I doubt the Nuforces could drive the MBL's 121's. The Nuforce amps are great IMO. The Pass feels twice better at twice the price. That being said, the Nuforce ... 
Driving MBL 121: Accuphase or Gryphon
I now have the 121's mated with the 350.5. Just an amazing soundstage. Very dynamic down to the 50Hz region. I feel you need a pair of subs with these. We have one so I get a bit of off channel balance.With the Pass X350.5 no strain noted what-so-... 
Driving MBL 121: Accuphase or Gryphon
I'm going to look at a MBL 121 tonight. Could this mean that my Pass Labs X350.5 may not be powerful enough to drive one of these monitors? 
Pass amps + Power Cords ??
The person who was "neutral" as in, not an audio geek questioned the difference in power cables. "How can that be?". "Why were they so different in sound".Anyone care to answer that?There's a loaded question.. 
Pass amps + Power Cords ??
I had a power cord competition last night and the wrong cable won. I took on loan some PS Audio cables from a dealer, the AC10 and a AC5. They took up residence where my DIY Furutech's and Oyanide Acrolinks were. The first competition I had placed... 
Dynaudio Confidence C1 broken & Cap question
Mr Hieuli Sir, :-)1. Dynaudio does not return my calls2. I removed the driver and sent it to them - they have it3. They assummed wrong doing on my part. It was after all, a single midbass driver that failed. Kind of strange IMO4. They have a trans... 
Balanced cable between Pass X350.5 and Cary SLP05
That what I use now. Magic truly flows through this cable. 
Dynaudio Confidence C1 broken & Cap question
Well, it's like this.My wife loves and is in the same boat I am when it comes to this crazy hobby of ours. So, being scared of the Dyns, we search for another solution. The LS6's. I'd feel stupid and rightfully so to sell one for another, especial... 
Dynaudio Confidence C1 broken & Cap question
The guy was more than a little thrilled with the sound. He was blown away. He'll be back for the speakers. He just needs to find the right room. God Bless that lucky %$#*! 
Dynaudio Confidence C1 broken & Cap question
Mapman, You're right on both accounts however my feeling is that these speakers were well cared for. I've been in contact with the former owner who's offered to help in any way he can. Speaking with the Dynaudio folks, they mentioned that driving ... 
Dynaudio Confidence C1 broken & Cap question
The driver is burned. I am responsible for the damage so there will be no retribution. There wasn't an "event" that took the driver out, nothing I can point to so that I can feel comfortable with these speakers in the future. Maybe it was simply U... 
Dynaudio Confidence C1 broken & Cap question
"If you can take the speaker apart, why did not you order the C1 woofer and replace the OEM woofer yourself? It is cheaper that way."An OEM C1 woofer? I did take the speaker apart. I pulled the driver myself and enquired about the repair as no one...

So what about them synergistic research designers reference x2 interconnects? 
Dynaudio Confidence C1 broken & Cap question
Rleff - Bill's a very nice guy. He doesn't think he can help me knowing the driver. He seemed shocked at the cost as was I. He wants to see a few pics before he can access damage and repair-ability.I spoke with Amilios at Dynaudio. We had a nice c... 
Dynaudio Confidence C1 broken & Cap question
I haven't heard back from Dynaudio but I will give Millersound a call - thanks for the suggestion.Having sold the LS6's I'm storing them for the gentleman who purchased them. I rolled them back into the room last night. I've been fighting a ground...
