| Why do no audio enthusiasts use McIntosh? We went to hear a McIntosh demo at a dealer in CA. When I asked about the little red speaker cable running to the back of the $80,000 XRT2Ks, the salesman responded, "A dollar fifty a foot, don't waste your money on anything more expensive". Boa2 ... | |
| My system is bright? I need help. thanks It seems to me you moved your speakers, heard a difference which is normal, but gave up before you had dialed the placement in properly. When you moved them, did you do it incrementally as I suggested, listening after each small adjustment for the... | |
| APL Esoteric X-01 Here is the problem as I see it. Yes, it makes sense to listen to the X-01 Limited, and perhaps it sounds substantially better than the stock X-01, and perhaps the sound of the X-01 Limited would be enough to satisfy someone who did not have the t... | |

| Tube Friendly Speakers - Down to 30Hz - $3000? Hi Ozzy62, the Montana SPX are 91db/ 6 ohms nominal...pretty close to the VR4 GenIII HSE (89db/ 6 ohms nominal). If I change loudspeakers, it will be to something with a minimum nominal impedance of 8 ohms, or one with a very flat impedance curve.... | |
| What new amp for my Merlins 10-16-06: TmiddleTvad,I ordered the Filarmonia last March and expect to be getting it soon. Yikes.My only criticism would be the lack of preamp outputs and remote control, but the trade off is worth it for world class sound.troyTarichar (Threads |... | |
