| b&w 803 or vr4jr, best match IMO, I would go with B&W 803 hands down. There is no question in my mind. McIntosh works incredibly well with B&W - which is no easy feat. The VR4jr's smooth character will not be best suited by McIntosh. Mcs need transparent, detailed spe... | |
| Diagonal room Setup.... van den Hul also describes it on his webpage (along with a bunch of other interesting tid bits). http://www.vandenhul.com/artpap/hifi_tipshints.htm#Section-2He says 15 degrees is about right although some hifi show demos use 20 or so. | |
| How will a Mac C46 work with Arcam P1 mono blocks? I have a C42 (basically the same as the C46) and absolutely love the EQ. I am surprised at how effective it is. I can finally trust what I am hearing as being the music and not the room.The input impedance of the P1s is a fairly low 22k but I thin... | |
| Best Sounding Red Book CD Changer Under $400 I painted my C333ES tray numbers white. Be careful not to touch them afterwards cause the paint doesn't stick to that plastic very well. Probably needs primer but I didn't want to go through that much trouble. | |
| Best color s to paint dedicated listening room Isn't this going too far? haha | |
| Too good to be true? You could call the police and let them investigate. ;) | |
| Your Favorite Top 10 tuners all time Man, you have owned a lot of tuners!! How many more didn't you like?? | |
| Speakers For McIntosh MC352 I have several times. But you better have a large room if you want a smooth bass response. Otherwise, you need a 936 or 926. If properly setup, the Electras are sublime speakers for the money. | |
| McIntosh & Klipsck RF-7's Don't those speakers have 96 or 98 dB sensitivity? If so, you definately don't need 200W - even with a 4 ohm impedance. I think the 2275 would be just fine. | |
| Bargain interconnects to tame treble & boost bass? I have Triangle Comete ES (same tweet as yours) and I love the treble with a CJ tube amp. You need very good quality amps for those Triangles - they are ruthlessly accurate. If that doesn't fix it, an EQ will help much more than cables. trust me, ... | |
| Hiss noise from speakers I think you are simply hearing the background noise of your amps. If you can't hear anything from your seating position, I wouldn't worry about it. Many amps do it. | |
| Which speakers for mcintosh mc352 The 352 is a great amp. But for my tastes, I still wouldn't match it to a soft speaker. A detailed, even analytical, speaker is what I like best with Mc amps. Having said that, there are MANY options and with your comment of disliking harsh freque... | |
| New to EQ I use a McIntosh C42 and a Radio Shack digital SPL meter and my corrected response is surprisingly flat. The best part is that the C42's eq center frequencies are EXACTLY where all my room modes are. My room response is much better now than it was... | |
| McIntosh MC300 or Odyssey Stratos? I know the MC300, as well as many other Mc amps, and I know the Odessey Stratos as well - I had one in my system briefly.I agree the MC300 is not the best. The 352 is clearly better, and so is my 7200. I have tried all my Mc amps with passive pres... | |
| What preamp for Lamm M1.2 ? It's funny how more and more people feel a separate preamp improves a CDP with volume control. 4 years ago, I was just about the only one saying that on Agon! |
