| Proac Studio 125s I particularly enjoy vocals and acoustic instruments (mainly strings) on these. I'll reach for Guitar Trio, Ottmar Liebert, Leo Kottke, Holly Cole, Dave Brubeck, Maura O'Connell, and Renaissance (among others). Top 3? ... probably "It Happened One... | |
| Am I going insane? Glad you found something you really like. I heard a Nak AV10 drive either these or the 816's (can't quite remember) fine as well. They *do* have impedance dips down around 3 ohms I think, but I can't recall at what frequencies ... *might* be cover... | |
| Am I going insane? Bose is at very good at one thing for sure - marketing. They fully understaznd their market segment (heck, they created it) and they are very good at servicing it. None of us may be in it, and i'm sure they are losing untold seconds of sleep over ... | |
| Proac Studio 125s I have a pair of 150's also, and I like them a lot. IMO they are in fact better than the 125's. It seemed to me that the 125's have somewhat better LF extension, perhaps owing to the single 6-1/2" mid-bass driver, but the dual 5" seem more articul... | |
| Best Blues Rock recommendations? If you're looking for a "newer" band, try the North Mississippi All-Stars. | |
| Powering ProAc Response 2.5's You can probably find a VT50 or VT60, and maybe a VT100. Also some solid state models. | |
| Solid State Integrated in 1500- 1800 range ? Lots of good recommendations. I don't know the size of your room nor listening levels, but some of the respondents may be right that the smaller units may not be satisfactory to you - especially if you go planar. Of the higher output models listed... | |
| Powering ProAc Response 2.5's I think you used to see ProAc demo'd a lot with Cary or Audio Research gear. | |
| Tube Pre-amps for audition list If going SS why not try one of the McCormacks themselves? - RLD or ALD | |
| Music recommendations, please If the daughter would like a little "pop" music as well, Tim Weisberg features the flute. He did some solo, and a couple with Dan Fogelberg also. | |
| Best $300 Speaker Used You can probably find some variant of the Vandersteen 2, which is a very safe bet and easy to resell (tho you may never want to). | |
| Citation 7.1 CUTS out, do I need More Power? Guys,I find it a bit hard to believe it is running out of current. This amp is capable of 130 amps in dual mono mode. Do you have an SPL meter? Curious what level you are driving these to. | |
| Citation 7.1 CUTS out, do I need More Power? Check your speaker wire and connections for a stray strand/short. | |
| Pioneer Elite DV-47A The only reasonably-priced universal format player in town right now. Doesn't have the build quality of the 38A. Also, the Pioneers are afflicted with the chroma bug - you may or may not see it. Very irritating if you do, blissful ignorance (in th... | |
| pioneer dv38a vs dv47 whats the difference? Bazmataz,JVC, Panasonic, Camelot, the Sony 7000. Might be some others. Pioneer reputed to be the worst. |
