| Thiel 3.7 Placement I always preferred my Thiels (CS7.2) firing strait into the room over toed in. I also like the 3.7s that way. | |
| Best Used Floorstanders for Rock & HT under $2100? I've owned the Legacy Classics and the PSB Stratus Gold. Both like power, both would do very well in the system you are going to use them in. The Classics are much nicer to look at. Pretty much a draw sound wise, with a little deeper bass from the... | |
| Krell FPB-400cx vs. Pass 350.5 for Thiel 3.6 Several reasons. Wanted a smaller, cheaper, more forgiving system. I also wanted to put the difference in price into my vinyl system. but have not been able to do that yet since i lost my job shortly after selling off alot of gear. Really like the... | |
| No phono input on Jadis but want to buy tunrtable Lokks like you should stick to a MM cartridge or possibly a high output MC. | |
| Match subwoofer to Spendor S3/5? I like the REL. Blends great with my harbeths and I would think it would also work well with your Spendors. Taps off your speaker outputs on your amp and you run your speakers full range. | |
| Looking for preamp suggestions BAT all you ask for and more. Plus they sound great. | |
| Krell FPB-400cx vs. Pass 350.5 for Thiel 3.6 I used Krell amps when I had my CS7.2s for over two years. Before I bought the krells (FPB650M) i auditioned the X600 monoblocks (not for me) and then the 350.5, Better, and I could have been happy with this amp, but I preferred the Krells. Better... | |
| SS phono stage in $2k to $3k range... Three in your price range that I have had in my system are the Xono (for a month) Ayre P-5xe, and Simaudio LP5.3/PSX5.3 combo. (owned these two) I preferred the Sim even with out the outboard power supply to the other two, and its better now with ... | |
| Legacy audio Signature lll speakers. Smthies & Ribd11,The word "amazing" is way over the top for the Sig. III. They are good speakers, that can be hard to dial in. While they will produce without a ton of power, they will not be at there best. | |
| No phono input on Jadis but want to buy tunrtable Raul,If you read his last post you will see he now has a table/arm he won on ebay, and was asking specificly about a phonostage to go with it, in the $400.00 range. I am guessing this is money left after the table purchase from the original 5-6 hu... | |
| No phono input on Jadis but want to buy tunrtable Youor phonostage will be decide on the kind of cartridge you use. Some only handle MM some MC some both. Not sure what your using, but in your $$ range these I have heard and sound pretty good. Plus I think they would re-sell pretty fast with litt... | |
| Legacy audio Signature lll speakers. I've owned three pr. of Legacys in the past (Classic, Focus 20/20, Sig III) They are all good speakers. Sometimes a little hard to dial in though. Your Mac amp will work, but... even though the Legacys are rated to be very efficient they do like a... | |
| What amplifier for Harbeth HL-5? Markus,Nice system! Are you running the amps triode or ultralinear? | |
| No phono input on Jadis but want to buy tunrtable You can pick up a new Rega P1 turntable(comes with cartridge), and a used NAD or Parasound, or any $100.00 phonostage, and a used Nitty gritty wet cleaner for around $600.00. | |
| What amplifier for Harbeth HL-5? I wasnt' a big believer of stands and there improvment to the music until I moved from some Target stands to the Sound Anchors I am using now. They make a model just for the HL5 and 40.1 (around $700-750 a pr.) These have made a believer out of me... |
