| Best Match for Dynaudio Contour S3.4? Fredorama,Were the Odyssey's new? I have read they take "FOREVER" to break in fully, as much as 250 hours of use and several months, not just being turned on for a few weeks... YMMVhttp://www.soundstage.com/revequip/odysseyaudio_stratos.htm | |
| Integrated recomendation for Quad 22l2 Good choice, I was going to suggest a used Naim Nait 5. | |
| how to side-grade from B&W 805's? $6K? I thought Koven said $1.5K... give or take a few hundred.Here is another vote for the PSB Imagine T. I auditioned some of these a few days ago with a modest ARC pre and tube power amp, a Simaudio Moon 5.3 CDP and they were absolutely wonderfu... | |
| Recommendation for Music/Movies - B&W, Paradigm... No worries, you are on the right track. | |
| Three best audiophile CD/LP in your collection I am beginning to believe that there is something to the hot stamper theory RE vinyl - that some indvidual pressings are much better than others, regardless of whether they are "audiophile" or even "heavy" vinyl. Case in point, my best reference r... | |
| Basic Preamp - suggestions? To the above suggestions I would add the Hafler DH-101. I would just pull the trigger on something recommended above and listen to see if it rings your bells - not all old NAD, Adcom, etc. were equally adept, nor will all match well with your amp.... | |
| B&W's objective opinions lean or accurate With the McCormack electronics and your interest in a more honest and musical sound, I would look at a system built around the Vandersteen 3A. | |
| The Next Step - what would you do? Number 3 sounds good in theory - otherwise I vote for Number 2 or Tonywinsc's suggestion - or Number 2 and Tonywinsc's suggestion. | |
| Has anyone tried the Shunyata Diamondback PC? I have posted previously on this cord.http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?fcabl&1107764210&read&keyw&zzshunyata=diamondbackStill using it and like it very much. | |
| Recommendation for Music/Movies - B&W, Paradigm... That is like asking us whether you should buy a Honda or a Ford, and then telling us you would really prefer a Jaguar. I like Jaguars too. You will enjoy your new speakers. | |
| Best Speakers match for NAD C372 I happened to be auditioning NAD amps and some of the speakers mentioned above this week - I think Hieule 5 and Kbakamian are barking up the right trees. What I heard that sounded good with NAD:-Paradigm Monitor 9 ( I liked the Paradigm SE in this... | |
| Recommendation for Music/Movies - B&W, Paradigm... All the speakers I recommended were stand mounts except the Paradigms - I think their better stand mounts would not match as well with the Onkyo. Good luck. | |
| Recommendation for Music/Movies - B&W, Paradigm... I think you want some warmer speakers to go with the Onkyo. I would look at the B&W CM5, PSB Image B6 (nominally 6 ohm impedance), Paradigm SE3, Swan D2.1SE+ and Quad 12L2. | |
| Speakers for a large room for around $1000 "Clearly, the speakers and the speaker interaction with the room are key considerations, none of which almost ever synchronizes well with the WAF. "No truer words have been written here. | |
| Speakers for a large room for around $1000 Blnd2spll,I am not crazy about unique Mirage or Ohm sound. Some people love it, but it is not my cup of tea - personal preference. So I think you can't go wrong with either Vienna or Paradigm. I wonder if your local Paradigm dealer has the SE mode... |
