| Have you tried the ART SLA-1 amp yet? Sean-Others have written to me concerning this thread that has been much talked about. I try to be unbiased ,but after reading a few of the post I have to side with some of the negative opinions concerning the way that D911 (Dan) had gone about pr... | |
| Which speaker is the master of IMAGING ???? Just had my new NEAR M50's arrive 2 weeks ago and they are outstanding in the imaging department. They are modified with the new drivers and I had them made with Cryo'd OTA.Am reworking the XO's so it should even further enhance imaging and sounds... | |
| HK and NAD Gurus - Need your Advice - PLEASE I use to own HK and have owned NAD stuff.The only recent audition of HK gear left me with the impression that they are Dry and Dark.I would go for NAD before HK. | |
| Is buildiing a HT around the speakers a good start For $20K you should have no problem getting a respectable dealer to come in and set your sytem up for the best effect possible. I think HT is very over rated BTW and I would focus more on getting your 2 main speakers and front amplification to be ... | |
| Mosfet vs. Bipolar revisited and the Belles 350A JrobinI do hear differences,but as you I do not think any of my components are vastly expensive.With the exception of the amp and speakers nothing is over $400.Price is relative when it comes to audio and I can put my system against things costing... | |
| Why an active preamp with Rock-N-Roll ? I like the transparency that Passives give.I do not have wads of cash for a SOTA Active and if your speakers are on the Bass side it might do well to Balance the system.My Passive out played the Rotel I was using I know that much.It did so many th... | |
| Great Rock & Roll speakers? I use a pair of Modified NEAR M15's and will be getting a set of NEAR M50's that are really phenominal on everything I have heard them with.Alot of rockers like Klipsch ,but I think for myself I would try VMPS.I heard some Vany's and was not to im... | |
| Mosfet vs. Bipolar revisited and the Belles 350A The following is a Post I saved regarding Amp Designs!Its a good read.========================================================Remember reading that a one benchmark about how good an amp is can be measured at how much power can be delivered when Ha... | |
| Mosfet vs. Bipolar revisited and the Belles 350A Does not matter what Transistors are used.It's all in the implementation and the synergy between components.I have had both and have found that it's a synergy thing.At present I am using a B&K ST-202 that is very transparent.Before I had a Bi-... | |

| ART DIO Modded or Job DA48 ?? Just a follow-up to what I had written about the ART mod from Bolder.It is well worth it.I only have the smART version,but I plan on getting the MENSA version in the future.A very important thing to get is another PS rather than using the one that... | |

| Center channel speaker which excels at dialogue If I had to choose a center channel speaker the first and best that comes to my mind is Magnepans.They are pricier than what you are asking for one,but you might find one at A-Gon used! | |
| What's the best 2 channel amp for 1k? I orderd a set of nOrh's new LeAmpII's for $400 a monoblock set.After that I think used Monarchy's are your best bet for under $1000.You might also get a Modified B&K ST-202 which is hard to beat for detail and transparency for under $400.Beat... |
