| Most eye-opening upgrade and what you learned Shouldn't it say: EAR opener? :-)Revel was the same for me! Ended up in purchasing the ULTIMA SYSTEM, w.i. with the Sub15 - better than the Salon.Involving tubes was another big step for mankind (McIntosh MC 2000)Among the "cheaper" steps were the... | |
| Stupid question about Revel speakers Keis, that's right!And - they are GRRRREAT! | |
| Does anyone answer e-mail? Hello? You'll find both in here: those who answer right away and those who don't in ages, if at all!As regards of sellers not answering I found that some just post as a test, to see if and for what price there would be interest out there.In short: it's l... | |
| Matching Wadia CD players to amps I run my 850 directly into a McIntosh MC 2000 tube amp. Fantsastic! As long as you stay well above 70/75 in the CD player’s volume. I used to have solid state monos and in that case runneing the 850 through a AR SP14 pre was slighty warmer.The 830... | |
| Revel Studio or Salon? I'd go with the ULTIMA SYSTEM (GEMS + SUB15). Not as BIG as the Salon and better in many respects.THey are wonderful speakers!Good luck! | |
| Audible differences between speaker cables? I agree with Bwyoung! I agree big time!Cheers | |
| why are wilson speakers so highly regaurded. Quality plus hype!Like in many other fields. Take a sports car: a Porsche sure is great but $130.00O? Gimme a break.Sure there are speakers out there which kill the wilsons. That's why I didn't buy them! :-)Good luck! | |
| Speakers for Classical Music You should try REVEL ULTIMA GEM, Studio, Salon, System (GEM's with a SUB).The very best when fed by a tube amp. Didn't find anything better for classical. I am a conductor.Good luck! | |
| How many concerts do you attend a year About 50 - almost all are classical music. The bigger the ensemble is, the farer away from the stage we sit (yet still in reasonable distance f.e. about row 20 to 30).Sometimes - the smaller the ensemble the worse the concert's sound can be in com... | |
| Excellent recording of Mozart Jupiter No.41 ? I agree with Jgarcia!But you should also try Bruno Walter/Columbia Symphony.There is a re-edition available on CD, I think on CBS. THe vinyl # was CBS S 77413Good luck! | |
| How much money do you want to waste? While I agree to most of the above statements, I have to call Birdieman's statement a ridiculous one. Is HE an audiophile? Did HE the blindfold tests?I use to listen to music with eyes closed anyway, so I don't care about these "tests" at all.Of c... | |
| Help: What would be the best price for used Wadia Haven't seen it under $4300 as of current offer.Good luck! | |
| What connection is better Balanced or single ended If all your units are designed "truely balanced" then go for balanced!Otherwise: the longer your connections are the more you should consider balanced.Good luck! | |
| Have you heard SACD? Yes I have.You guys better go out and do a good job in the advertising industry :-)What sense - in all fairness - can it make to transfer CDs to a new format and accept the hiss that transaction creates or has at the same time? That isn't even HIF... | |
| Revel Gem/ B&W 802 I reckon Hammy is saying that adding a sub to thr GEMs will glue you to the listening chair?In fact the ULTIMA SYSTEM (including the Sub15) is my personal High End for the near and far future.Good luckTilmann |
