| Acapella vs. Avantgarde After getting some advice from several people I will upgrade my Cary CAD-805AE's to the CAD-211AE's. 50W to 110W - should be enough. I hope! | |
| Acapella vs. Avantgarde Essentialaudio, the dealer demo'ed the speakers with Wavac 805's (55W SET's). I asked for these amps because they are "sort of" similar in power to my Cary CAD-805AE's. I know people recommend Einstein OTL, but unfortunately these are not imported... | |
| Acapella vs. Avantgarde Gregm, thanks for your response. I have been in touch with Rob (rwjp), another AudioGon member. We live in the same city and I have met him. He seems to know you. I took your comments to the Acapella dealer. He said that he has tried amplifying th... | |
| Question for Cary 306SACD owners I agree with Jprice. I find it very difficult to hear any difference between the settings. I did a double blind test with my girlfriend switching between 44.1 and 768 and I really could not tell. My hearing must be pretty bad :( | |
| Acapella vs. Avantgarde Kotjac, I know the Supratek guy. In fact I knew him when I was back in uni and when he was first starting up his company. I interviewed him and published his comments on another forum. Yes, a Cabernet Dual is certainly on the cards. Will have to s... | |
| Acapella vs. Avantgarde Eljaro, your comment was very astute. You are quite right that the two Avantgarde systems were not set up properly. When I heard the Uno's, the room acoustics was not very good, and the dealer had not found an ideal setup for the subwoofer modules... | |
| Acapella vs. Avantgarde Thanks for all your help guys. I found that most people's description of the sound from all 3 speakers I listened to was pretty accurate. Very reassuring that I can trust the ears on AudioGon. The shopping experience has been a positive one, with ... | |
| Acapella vs. Avantgarde Okay, I have finally managed to audition every speaker I have mentioned in this thread. I started the journey in February when I made the first post. I just returned from my trip to Sydney, where I heard the Acapella Violons and the Avantgarde Uno... | |
| Help: Order of importance: Pre, Amp, DAC, speakers I would have to agree with Rives. The *room* is the most important. I recently moved to a new house and was startled at how different all my gear sounded. But I knew it was going to sound different anyway. First, make sure your room is acousticall... | |
| Acapella vs. Avantgarde Thanks for your responses Kotjac and Fernando. Kotjac, your comment about the Avantgardes being superior from 800Hz and below is very interesting indeed. So is your comment about the selection of amplifier being critical. I suppose this raises the... | |
| Acapella vs. Avantgarde Hornguys, what are the main sonic differences between the Uno's and the Duo's? The dealer does not have a set of Uno's, so if I want them i'll have to order them out of sight. The specs say that the diameter of each horn is 70cm less which would h... | |
| Acapella vs. Avantgarde If you want to read more of my thoughts on this speaker, I have posted them in another forum. Here is the link: http://www.planetaudio.com.au/forum/index.php?showtopic=2422Fernando, I noticed that the dealer was using what appeared to be normal el... | |
| Acapella vs. Avantgarde As the OP of this thread I would like to thank all of you for the help you have given. Since I posted the thread, I have had a chance to listen to the Avantgarde Duo's. In a couple of weeks I will be flying to Sydney to listen to the Acapella's. I... | |
| Cary DVD 8? Yes/No I wonder how long it will be before Cary discover they are doing themselves a disservice by keeping the picture of the DVD8 innards up on their site and take them down. This is certainly very disappointing and really makes you wonder. At least I a... | |
| Accuphase CD players versus Naim CD players "Accuphase DP55 lacks transparency like all accuphase cd players."I definitely agree with this statement. Accuphase seems to place more emphasis on tonality than detail. The music sounds beautiful from an Accuphase - warm, lush, and laid back. But... |
