| Preamp recommendations up to $2000 I've taken a flyer on a Juicy Music Peach. Very curious to hear what a well regarded, sub $1000 (used), 6922 based preamp can do. | |
| ARC REF 3 or MBL 5011 - what is better buy? Does anybody had/have the the chance to listent MBL5011? Based on the couple reviews I found, the MBL5011 is better than ARC REF 3.Denon1 (Threads)Be honest. What you really seek is just one person to validate your desire to purchase the MBL5011. | |
| ARC REF 3 or MBL 5011 - what is better buy? 10-21-08: Cyclonicman...eventually you will have to replace the tubes which can hit the $1,000 range for excellent quality tubes.The Reference 3 uses five 6H30P tubes and one 6550C tube. Five 6H30P tubes cost $150, and one 6550C tube costs $80...f... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Jaybo, whether the Arros will dramatically change to resemble the Micro Talls or not, you must agree that 10 hours on any speaker is insufficient time on which to base a judgment on their performance. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? With only 10 hours on them, the bass drivers on the Arros have not even begun to break in.

| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? 10-21-08: Rebbi... and they've got less than 10 hours of time on them.You made a decision to change speakers after hearing the Arros for less than 10 hours, and without allowing them to break in for at least 100 hours? | |
| ARC REF 3 or MBL 5011 - what is better buy? I owned the Reference 3 for a short while, and I used it with Pass Labs XA-60.5 amplifiers. It was good, but not overwhelming. I preferred the bass control and balance of a Lamm L2 Reference with the Pass Labs amps, and I subsequently sold the Ref... | |
| Which component upgrade will produce more BASS? There is no magic in the Virtual Dymanics tweak that is suddenly going to overcome the laws of physics and give you bass from your Blues speakers that reproduce bass only to 45Hz. Ziggy333a, you need speakers that go down lower than 45Hz to hear t... | |

| Which component upgrade will produce more BASS? The Blues go down only to 45Hz.Different speakers with frequency response down to at least 35Hz (down to 30Hz...even better).The other option is adding a subwoofer (or two). | |
| Preamp recommendations up to $2000 Looking at this thread, there are really outstanding suggestions offered. All of them winners. | |
| how much would you say a good set up cost It's great to see someone has things in proper perspective. It warmed my heart on this Sunday morning. | |
| how much would you say a good set up cost 10-18-08: EmailistsI think the most important thing is determine one's audio aesthetic.Aesthetics play an enormous role. Visual aesthetics also.There are several systems below $10k that I could envision sounding very,very good, but the size, shape... | |
| Preamp recommendations up to $2000 A used Atma-Sphere MP-3 is another to consider.If you stretch your budget to $2500, you may be able to find a used Lamm LL2 Deluxe or First Sound Presence Deluxe II. | |
