| Opinion on Yamaha Amps One thing to note, the 801 has an impedance switch on the back, to protect it from lower impedance loads. Something like this is generally thought of as cost saving and a compromise.Any integrated amp worth its weight will be able to drive down to... | |
| Speaker cables for paradigm studios I'm another Audioquest Type 4 former owner. It's a decent entry level cable, though overpriced unless you buy it in bulk by the foot. It's a laid back cable, recessing the highs somewhat. Also, because of the relatively small total gauge of abo... | |
| 1 pair of good interconnects- which 2 components should I use them on? I feel sorry for the OP. He asks a simple question, but little does he know how far afield things would get! The topic of cables has always been so.I've got a pair of Monster Cable IC's. I bought them in about '89 and they've been in storage fo... | |
| Confused: Should I Upgrade Cables or Amp first? At least the Parasound experiment was an easy one to decide, hopefully the KT150 will be all you need. I've been chasing that last 5% of audio bliss, and am realizing that it's just not worth the trouble. Get a sound that you like and enjoy your... | |
| Music Lovers Speaker vs. Audiophile Speaker Coli, I guess that explains a lot! I really prefer sound, or music first. I've installed Pioneer speakers in my car, and I think they are of the 'audiophile' type. They sound great too. | |
| Recommendation for Integrated Amp with Tone Controls Brime, I noticed that you were very clear on wanting tone controls, and an attractive piece at your stated budget. I'm afraid you're going to either have to buy used, or up the budget as Nad has the bang for buck market cornered in the under $100... | |
| Music Lovers Speaker vs. Audiophile Speaker Interesting topic. I would have disagreed with the premise a couple of months ago, thinking that the audiophile approach has the same goal in mind. But I’ve recently had my audiophile bookshelf speakers bested by a small bookshelf that retailed fo... | |
| Help Tannoy XT6F with Primaluna If your morrows are also brand new, then that's a major cause of sound oddities. The Morrow cables absolutely REQUIRE around 400 hours of break in. The Morrow site explains this in great detail, they are not like most other brands since they hav... | |
| Confused: Should I Upgrade Cables or Amp first? In looking at the system as is, I don't see any glaring weak points. The Parasound has 150 wpc, and to my ear is on the warm side, at least the A21 and P7 combo I have is. The speaker cable is 14 gauge, so I suppose could be improved upon by sho... | |
| Great bookshelf or small towers suggestions Wolf, I was in your shoes over a year ago, somewhat tired of my existing speakers, but not sure which way to go. I did much research on the net, and kept coming back to the Sierra 2's. For a bookshelf, anything decent from the traditional retail... | |
| Time for a new 2 channel amplifier - looking for suggestions I concur with the Parasound suggestion, but if the A21/23 are a little high, you could go with their Classic line. Used the 5250 would be under your limit, and new Audio Advisor still has some(no affiliation!)Another option would be a Nad 275 used... | |
| My Parasound A21 review and VS Emotiva XPA In going back and re-reading you comment, it is clear that whatever meaning you were trying to convey was muddled in regards to you "distributor" vs your "local A/V", but whatever. Since you are hoping to become an Emotiva dealer, one must assume... | |
| Harman kardon HK 990 v MF A3.2, Yam A-S 1000 or seperates The problem with the HK 990 is that it was a one off. They hadn't made anything like it for a decade or more, then released, not a line up of integrated amps, but one single model. I read a detailed review of it at the time and one issue he foun... | |
| My Parasound A21 review and VS Emotiva XPA Okay, that explains it, you are a dealer hyping Emotiva. Well, I hope you get a good profit margin out of them. | |
| New Power Amp from... Monoprice Well it must compare pretty well to the Emotiva amps since the owner, Dan laughman, has come out in his forum being highly critical of Monoprice for daring to release this amp. |
