| B&W 683 floor standers Thanks guys. 804ilawood: Wow, 380 watts/channel. Are you sure that's OK on these? The max power rating for the 683's is 250W. | |
| B&W dm 620 Difficult to comment without hearing them but looking strictly at their specifications, they have a high sensitivity of 96dB so they should be easy to drive but they are a 4 ohm nominal impedance. Their freq response range is from 58hz to 20khz so... | |
| Digital remastering of CD's Thanks for all of your responses. It's really too bad that it has to be this way. I'm curious what Absolute Phase Tweak is? Can you explain this Hifisoundguy? | |
| Saw Jackson Browne Tuesday Night I did see him once back in the mid 1990's here in NJ and the place was jam packed to the rafters. Fantastic. My wife and I have been fans since the 1970's. I love his new Solo Acoustic Live CD. Haven't heard of this new one yet but will take a lis... | |
| What's the bottom line on Oppo 980 for CD playback Kr4 and Tgrisham:You both make very valid opposing points and that's what is great about this forum. Yes, I can see the advantages of going this way. However, most reputable higher end audio stores have a standard 30 day return policy with a full ... | |
| What's the bottom line on Oppo 980 for CD playback OK, so how do you audition an OPPO player if they're sold only via the Internet? That's the flaw with these components that are not sold in retail high-end audio stores such as Outlaw and Oppo. You're unable to visit a store and compare these unit... | |
| What's the bottom line on Oppo 980 for CD playback This is an excellent question. I've never auditioned any of the Oppo line of players but I hear good feedback. However, one has to be suspicious as to how can a manufacture jam pack a player with all of these features including SACD capability, 10... | |
| Used B&W matching on uber-budget system I just saw a pair of B&W DM602-S2's for sale on this site. It's in the speaker-monitor link and several pages in. The pair is selling for $350.00 obo. They look in excellent shape but read the description. They're a couple of small issues. Goo... | |
| Used B&W matching on uber-budget system Yes I agree with Ckoffend. The DM603's, DM602's and even the DM601's would be great choices to work with the other B&W's that you have. I have the DM603 S3's (for well over one year now) as my mains and they still never cease to amaze me espec... | |
| I need help with the audio side Yes, please identify your budget. In the meantime, if you like the Martin Logan Xstats and can afford them, then go with those and build yourself a true 5.1 surround sound system. You have a decent A-V receiver now, good interconnects and speaker ... | |
| Albums you use to test your gears? Bring an array of CD's with you to the store but be sure to include some that are not recorded that well meaning some that are NOT remastered and are of some older recordings say from 1960's and 70's. Any system will sound great if the music was r... | |
| Best Speakers match for NAD C372 Luciano33Can you explain what you mean by Rotel SS receivers not being warm? I just went with a brand new RSX-1057 A-V Rotel receiver and I find it very warm. I use it more for music than HT and it is very musical and IMO, warm. Can you explain? Y... | |
| Selling a favorite component to help out family Jessie91:I'm very touched by your message and really feel for you and yours. It makes you sit back and realize just what's most important in life. I just had surgery myself 3 weeks ago and I thank God above everyday for getting me through it. It's... | |
| Marantz 5001 vs. NAD 515BEE Vs. Cambridge 340? Fishers9:Good thread. First, I can assure you that any of the 3 above mentioned brand new CD players will sound far better than your 10 year old Sony or 10 year old anything in that price range. There has been much improvement in the electronics o... | |
| B&W 603 s3 or PSB T55 Well I guess I would be a bit prejudiced since I have them but I'd go with the B&W DM603 S3's and bi-wire them using decent cable such as Tara Labs, Audioquest, etc. They're quite warm for an open room area but you may need a subwoofer at some... |
