| Suggestions for a monitor speaker The Vmps 626sre is a great almost fullrange monitor, ribbon mid/high driver, bass tight and deep down to the 45hz range. These are about 45# each, around 23inches high. Osiris stands can be found at around $300 and work great with this speaker. VM... | |
| Advise for CD player upgrade? Arcam? Rega? MF? Used sony xa777es (1,500) sacd player, outboard dac of your choice for redbook ($500) if you don't like the sony's redbook sound. I have this player and IMHO, is very good redbook player on it's own. | |
| Anyone who has tried spikes with the VMPS RM40's? Bass definition with many, (not all) vmps speakers comes in the form of adjustment by means of small amounts of the putty that comes pre installed on the passive driver. This adjustment along with adjustment of rear pots on the speakers will do fa... | |
| Sub and LFE settings on Surround Processor Very good point Eldartford, speakers such as Magnepan, Apogee or other full range ribbon speakers do have deep bass responce, and do require huge force from amp which can degrade sound. My speakers are 9 driver/15inch active/15inch passive/12inch ... | |
| Sub and LFE settings on Surround Processor 80hz is fine for movies, LFE are boom and bang anyway. For music you can't get away with the boom and bang thing. If you can set your processor at one set point for movies and another set point for music then you are all set. For music, find the p... | |
| Power amp upgrades for Mirage, M3si speakers The Mirage M3si is a speaker I have listened to hundreds of times, great speakers and I like them even better than the M1's. They are one of the most power hungry speakers I have listened to and are laid back ( Dark sounding ) to me. The Acurus is... | |
| 8 Time Grammy Award Winner? For Real? I find most Grammy award winners to be a let down for some years now, just a market hype in 90% of cases. I like the cd but don't give it a Grammy in my collection. | |
| DVD-A and SACD You will need a switchbox with two sets of inputs, a good one is about $200. Type ( 6 channel switchbox ) into google and one should come up. There was a good one made buy a guy named shawn fogg, it has remote also. Sony made a pre/pro that has tw... | |
| Speaker stand height Vmps model 626sre sounds best with beard, Sean is right on the correct speaker height. As I said In my post above, get stands with adjustment. | |
| Speaker stand height Get something that has a 1-2 inch adjustment up or down, try for the tweeter at ear height. OSIRIS stands can be found on audiogon at good prices, these stands are 50lbs. each with out sand or shot. | |
| No signal lock on my new used Adcom DAC You forgot to tell us what the problem was, glad it worked out for you though. All sellers I have delt with on audiogon have been fine people. | |
| Audiofile HT system for $10K Start with a RPTV at around $2,000. Have 3 20 amp circuts installed to run it all off of, you should be able to find one of many great pre/pros right here on audiogon used for $1,500/$2,000. You should also be able to pick up a good multichannel a... | |
| DVD/SACD or DVD+SACD, which way to go? All in one players take up little space in your rack, If a receiver is good enough for you then an all in one player will be good enough. Multi-format players have to cut corners some were just like receivers do to keep costs down for that market.... | |
| Is "live" music sound possible for under $1K Agree with Timwat, This would be a taste of true hi-end sound and would be an outstanding system for your room size and musical taste. I take it you already have a music source. |
