| Stay away from the nad Apparently Djeng prefers complaining to strangers on the internet to contacting Nad to see if they’d warranty his broken 356. Call them. Get a real live person on the phone. Explain that you are a repeat Nad customer. Be friendly. Have your re... | |
| Who remembers the Dahlquist DQ-10's? When it comes to power hungry speakers, what is needed is an amp with high current capability for those ohm swings. That Parasound has some good current, at 45 amps peak per channel. It's at the low end of Parasound's line up, however. Their A... | |
| Stay away from the nad Any dealer that will bad mouth a brand they don't carry or no longer carry is not worth doing business with. It's something a dealer with integrity just won't do. | |
| Has anyone considered rebuying a speaker you once owned?? I find the only solution to this dilemma is to own several pairs of speakers, and I've decided not to sell my favorite 2 pairs of Tannoys, and once I re-buy the Ascend speakers, they shall never leave my home either! | |
| Stay away from the nad What I can find on the PSB Synchrony One bookshelf is that it is a 4 ohm speaker that dips to below 3 ohms at some frequencies. I'm sure it'll be fine with the Accuphase. | |
| Stay away from the nad BTW, the OP mentioned he’s going to order an Accuphase E-270. That integrated amp, as far as I can tell, is a gem that sells for around $4500. With that kind of budget many excellent IA would be options, but the Accuphase is certainly one of them.... | |
| Stay away from the nad bojack, not sure if you're thinking of the C372/272, but the first run of those had white power caps, which turned to be troublesome. I know this because after I bought my C372 I found out about this and panicked. But mine had the better black c... | |
| Stay away from the nad With 3 amps dying on you, something must be wrong in your system, or house wiring. What ohm rating do your speakers have? Do they have a phase angle? Did you buy brand new Nad each time or factory refurbs? What specific volume level position do yo... | |
| Integrated amp recommendation for B&W 805 D3 (Peachtree, Parasound, Hegel, Schiit?) Yeah, AVS is painful. Between the ads and those pushing their agendas instead of agreeing to disagree, I tend to go elsewhere. I concur with the Parasound comment too. | |
| Looking for input: Best material for mid range cone It’s so interesting to read the varying thoughts on this topic. My issue is not the frequency range that poly can reproduce, but what it sounds like while doing so. The Tannoy Precision bookshelfs I found so enjoyable have the tweeter crossed over... | |
| Monitor Audio Silver 8 - Power Handling I moved to a smaller room with the speaker change, and currently have a Nad integrated, the C375BEE. It has great bang for buck, but I find I'm missing the superior high end detail of the Halo stuff. I remember how the vocal would be precisely s... | |
| Emotiva xpa 1 monos I've had moments like that as well, but such moments are in isolation from any real comparison. Dealers sometimes depend on such "wow" moments to sell gear.I had a 1st gen XAP amp and I thought it was amazing for the price. But then over time, w... | |
| Monitor Audio Silver 8 - Power Handling jdekehoe, I never did have the XSP-1 due to Emotiva’s long delays in getting it to market. I used the XDA-1, which they advertised as a digital preamp when they released it. I actually sold off the Parasound gear, a P7 as well as the A21, when I c... | |
| Looking for input: Best material for mid range cone Thanks for the comments, my own experience is somewhat limited. Paper does seem to be quite nice when done right. | |
| Amps from the 1980's -- What gear holds up sonically? Reliably? Eric, perhaps my jaded view has something to do with my experience with 80's gear. My Luxman R-115 developed a volume and intermittent channel problem that got worse with time. A yamaha cd player starting skipping after a few years. My buddy's ... |
