| Two preamps in your system Agree with Kr4.. At least for 2 channel stereo operation, Bi-Pre amping is not the same as Bi amping. It could be thought of as similar in the sense of running top/bottom controls, but system matching of gain,impedence,and balance would be inaccur... | |
| Comments please: ARC LS 25 mk 2 vs. Ref 2 mk 1 Mike, Ref 2 Mk1( not the Mk2) is a definate over the LS 25. If you do a search here you will inevitably find many, many such comments and opinions... and all good ARC members say...Amen! | |
| When your wife... Bogdan- You may or may not be able to do better, but it wouldn't be by much at the price point. so...I like Plato's suggestion and keep the peace and marital harmony and make your wife look good here!..Thats the best thing for sure! Your kids's no... | |
| Most forgiving speakers? Hey Duke,Nice response. I liked your explanation and choices of "forgiving" speakers, I agree and would add that most of them in their forgiving nature tend to also be guilty of sins of "ommision" rather than sins of commision! as I once heard it ... | |
| Recommend new floorstanding around $1500/pr please Would you not concider used? You could probably get a better speaker for $1500. used then you could new for same price? Just a thought.With your REL Strata, a nice pair of slim towers by VonSchweikert like the VR2 would be in your range or the afo... | |
| B&W Matrix vs Nautulis Avnut-You make a very good point. The N801's definately require extremely top notch source and especialy amplification. In fact many feel they should be bi-amped only.Placement is key of course, as with any speaker, but the N 801's like the M 801'... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Ian & Sylvia's "So much for Dreaming"..Original 60's Vanguard Stereo. | |
| BAT VK 5i and tubes, how to chosse? George- Yes. Incredible..The NOS tubes really sing in the BAT . Enjoy your 5i!!--Ken :) | |
| BAT VK 5i and tubes, how to chosse? Hey Larryken-Just swapped out the JAN Philips 6L6WGB's for the hard to find and awesome Tung Sol 5881/6L6. These are USA NOS from about 1958 vintage according to dates and test better than new. WOW!!! What a smooth sound from these. Easily the bes... | |
| CD input in Audio Reserach Do not worry:)There is a resistor across that input that lowers the gain, It is factory and is not damaged. Give ARC a call and speak to Leonard . He can tell you the details.:) (763) 577-9700 | |
| Looking for an outstanding DAC How about Audiomeca's own Enkianthus DAC.. I have heard great things about it. Pricy, but used is always nice for price. | |
| Good match for Adcom 555? I will second the Vandersteens. I ran The 555MkII with a Conrad Johnson PV-7 pre amp and Vandy 2Ce. Very good sound and synergy for the bucks.--Ken | |
| B&W Matrix vs Nautulis Hey Rocky, I'll weigh in here and agree all around. As I mentioned in another thread regarding the Matrix vs. Nautilus sound. There is a wonderful sweetness in the balance of the Matrix 801's especially in the upper mids and treble. Very palpable ... | |
| B&W CDM 9NT vs 804's Gotta agree with Rocky here.For the price of what you'd spend on the 9NT,N803, N804 or any Nautilus..You really have to check out the Matrix 801 S2 or S3.They are a real bargain for their used prices and deliver the goods I found the Matrix 801 S2... | |
| Please help identify Stax Lambda Pro. You may want to do a search both here and audioassylum. I thought the Pro's were slightly different color. dark beige or light brown as opposed to the std. black offerings if I remember correctly. I have the newer SR 212 which are concidered part ... |
