| Amps for Klipschorn speakers I like the Cary SLI-80 idea if you could live with an integrated. Its a bit less than your totaal budget but don't let that turn you off. Its one sweet amp. McIntosh as well if you crank rock. The MA2275 can be had used in your price range. | |
| can harbeth speakers play loud I guess it depends on what you mean by loud. My Compact 7 es3's crank loud in my 12x20 room. I think I play it loud but in reality I know I don't. Back in the eighties I clipped some B&W's and smoke wafted out of my amp. That was mid winter wi... | |
| Rate my rig I can appreciate that Mapman. What gets difficult for me is when the Wilson Sasha owners chime in. That's out of my league and it always will be even if I won the lottery. I would like a rate my rig based on your speakers. I have a very simple rig... | |
| Need at least 900wpc in 4ohm McIntosh. | |
| Recent equipment you hated, thought overpriced Rotel. I'm passed that phase now. | |
| Rumors about a new Ayre integrated amplifier? There's a certain aficianado type web site that leaked photos of a prototype for the new Ayre integrated. This rumor pegs it as a AX-5 100 watt. I first saw it last night and an employee replied very angrily that the photo was somehow leaked becau... | |
| Recent equipment you hated, thought overpriced The best way to find out if a tweak could possibly work for you is dealer demo. If your dealer sells it out of his/her store front it probably does for some or most. Online is a whole different story. | |
| Rate my rig Its all based on opinion. The problem with Rate My Rig is that even if someone has heard all said components of said rig, they still cant rate it based on the room said rig is in. I don't mean to offend, but its just a 'treading water ' thread. Yo... | |
| Original prices for LP albums I'm from Rochester NY and we have what was back in the 70's through the nineties the largest record store in the world called The House of Guitars. An album back in 1985 which is when I graduated from high school was $7. When I say largest store I... | |
| Cassandra Wilson - Another Country If I had to pick a favorite Cassandra for the desert island it would be New Moon Daughter for sure. But probably not for the same reason you like it. Her version of Neil Young's Harvest Moon is the most chilling song Ive ever heard her do and to t... | |
| The Best Compliment You've Gotten On Your Rig? My situation is like Wolf Garcia's. Nobody cares. My son often asks if he can play music and of course the answer is always yes, because he has great taste in music for a 19 year old, but he's never mentioned how good it sounds. That might be beca... | |
| Manley or Rogue? Stevecham, so you place the Manley above Conrad Johnson? | |
| Putting together first stereo.... When you get to the point of searching for your amplifier, don't forget to use Audio Classics as a resource too. They are the number one resource for used MAC gear and they're friendly and knowledgable. | |
| Top 5 Classical recordings I understand what you were trying to do with this post. Ive been lazy about getting myself into this because I get a little over the top with my research and classical really seems to me to be a never ending research project. I spent two solid yea... |
