| Sub Woofer hook up with McIntosh MC 501 Active subwoofers accept line-level inputs so you could run the connections from your preamp instead of your amps. If you insist on passive subs, you may need another amp just for them. I have also heard of people running a sub off the speakers. I... | |
| Revel Concerta F12 vs Triangle Antal Esw Well, I know the Antal ESw and Revel F30s. I am assuming the F12s were voiced similarly to the F30s. I can definately say that you are looking at two very different approaches to making music. I think that somebody who likes one of your choices, w... | |
| Ever notice change in resisitance of vol control? I am not sure I have ever experienced what you are talking about. Usually the volume rotation is mechanical, i.e. you have a shaft and a bearing that rotates a mechanical contact breaker so there isn't really any relation between rotation and volu... | |
| 2 channel for Revel F30's One man's loud is another man's soft. It is all relative and loudspeaker sensitivity is barely 10% of the story. Also, don't forget we are talking about logarithmic scale! Human brains tend to make everything linear but that isn't reality. "A litt... | |
| Help me hunt for a SS integrated The new McIntosh MA6300 would a great choice. It would mate well with your system and sounds mighty fine.Arthur | |
| Is JM Lab 927 BE better than Electra 936? I am confused. Did you sell your 1027s? What did you not like about them? | |
| 2 channel for Revel F30's Hi Bill,If you want tubes, I would say you need at least 100W to keep your amp (and speakers) happy. The Cary V12 would work but the amp alone is your entire budget. Another local hifi buddy of mine has a Cary SLI80 and although it is quite powerf... | |
| 2 channel for Revel F30's My neighbor had a pair of F30s for a while. They were his front HT speakers but he also used them for 2 channel music. In my experience during the many hours I spent at his place is that they need a lot of power to get the bass right. Tubes would ... | |
| To Former owners of Jolida JD 100 I felt my JD100s had great body and coherence, average detail, and not enough edge definition for dynamic snap and verve. It is a CD player that doesn't do anything very fast which is fine with many kinds of music but falls short with highly dynam... | |
| Tube pre-amps $3500 under to add "warmth" I second the SLP-98 option. It is warmer than a McIntosh C2200 but it doesn't fall into a syrupy trap. I really enjoyed it.Arthur | |

| Triangle Antal ESW speakers experience please Well, I owned a pair of RS6s, one of my local hifi buddies has a pair of Antal ESWs, I have heard 802Ds a couple times with Mc gear, and I have had tons of McIntosh gear in my system, so I suppose can offer some insight.First thing I have to say i... | |
| Mac's BAD MATCH for 802D's? That is the first comparison test of the C1000 I have come across. It is really cool to hear it won in blind testing with such "acclaimed" competition! The C1000 is on my list to have as well...although I will have to wait till I get a job first!B... | |
| Shouldnt you match tube with tube ? Each component has its own contribution in the reproduction of the signal. So the more tubes you have, the more "tube" sound you will get, strictly speaking. So, for MORE tube sound, both amp and preamp should be tube. And yes, you are right to ge... | |
| Truely Balanced Pre Amps McIntosh C100, C200, C1000; all the Classe, Pass, Aesthetix, Ayre, Krell. These are some of the more common ones. |
