| Is KEF no longer relevant? Kef is REALLY popular in Europe but it seems they are dismissing the US market for some reason. Maybe they will head back this way in the near future. | |
| Who woulda thought? Who woulda thought Warren would give up his Passion! ;)Glad to hear you like your new setup. Really neat speakers you've got there.Arthur | |
| Miss your audio when traveling? Oh yes!! | |
| B&W or JM labs I personally prefer JM Labs as well. But is your room large enough for Divas or 800s? They will need WAY more space than 805s do to sound good. | |
| Focal Drivers Well you know, those Focal drivers aren't cheap! lol. But if you don't want to buy anything French, might as well quit looking at Celestials. | |
| Vintage tube preamps: CJ or ARC? I would skip the CJ PV10. It wasn't nearly as 3D or as sweet in the highs as my McIntosh C712. | |
| Focal Drivers JM Lab and Focal are the same company. Focal keeps their most optimized drivers for their JM Lab speaker line and they used to sell a lot of drivers to other speaker makers but they are now getting out of that business. Soon they will only makes d... | |
| From Krell to McIntosh - Anyone? Krell and McIntosh take different approaches. Thus, many people like one and not the other. If you feel like a change, give McIntosh a try. If you buy them used, Testsp is right - you can get nearly all your money back so there isn't much financia... | |
| Anybody heard the Jadis DA 88 Signature? It was Hifi+ issue 39 (May 2005). I auditioned them at "Amplhifi" in Montpellier France. Awesome store with all kinds of gear all over the place and a very friendly and knowledgable owner. | |
| What will it take to have live music for everyone? Most people don't care about great sound - they want a great TV instead. Nsgarch is right. | |
| Anybody heard the Jadis DA 88 Signature? I auditioned it for about...two hours. I couldn't get off the couch and the dealer sat with me most of the time. It was amazing. There was a Naim CDX2 front end with Apertura speakers and I couldn't believe how good it sounded. Everything from ele... | |
| Pres that go with Mcintosh amps Hey Les! So you've decided to get the 352 - that's great. My opinion is that when it comes to forward vs. laidback, the main impact will come from the speakers. I have two systems in my room now and I can switch between them on the fly using the C... | |
| Speakers For McIntosh MC352 I absolutely love JM Labs with McIntosh. I find they are very synergistic together. Check out my system page for more info on my setup. However the three brands you have mentioned there are the three I recommend with McIntosh. | |
| Jadis Orchestra Reference SE and DA-50 Integrateds Hey Joe, you have me salivating. Maybe I should just buy your DA30 and quit dilly dallying. Incidentally, CJ just informed me that I shouldn't be using my Sylvania 3-mica black plate 5751s in place of the 12AX7s in my MV55. They said "the circuit ... | |
| Spaker Question I went from Paradigm 100.2s to JM Lab Electra 926s in my system. The difference is unbelieveable. The JM Labs have a soundstage precision and timbral finesse that the Paradigms never could muster. The other big improvement is in resolution where t... |
