| where do i go from here? DK - Changing cables is a good move and will help in soundstage mostly but will not fix your lack of bass. The CJ 2300 amp is rated 240 wpc @8ohms and is made specifically for tough loads ie Theil (see CJ website) Therefore i doubt your amp is the... | |
| help with HT setup? I appreciate the suggestions so far. I should also mention that my system is used predominately for 2 channel listening about 80%-20%. Therefore I am not interested in spending the $ that I have in 2 channel for HT but would like the most bang for... | |
| help with HT setup? Forgot to mention that I am trying to stay at $750 or below | |
| Improving bass response I had the same problem you have and cured it by replacing my cdp with a Theta Miles cdp. It made a big difference and especially in the bass reproduction. However your speakers will not give you the bass that you are most likely looking for. Sonas... | |
| Walking that fine line: What would you do ? SeanI noticed that Diana Krall's mike is mixed extremely hot to the point of distortion. I only have "When I Look In Your Eyes" by her and there are a couple of songs that the process you describe is very noticable. In the following link there was... | |
| anyone? anyone? Custom built is about the only way to get one for big screen TV. There are some on the market, but they won't accomidate audiophile equipment. They are also very plain in appearance and are particle board covered in vinyl. I ran into the same dile... | |
| Any great speakers out there? Silverline Sonatas did it for me. | |
| Furniture-grade cd storage Check out Sam's club. I bought one from there which holds about 550 cd's. It is an oak mission style cabinet with 5 drawers in the middle and doors with storage on each end. It is about 40 inches tall and 28 inches wide. Kind of plain looking but ... | |
| Large Advents Vs. New Advents of the '70s I believe the large Advents were the predecessor to the new Advents. There was a change in the woofer of the new Advents and I believe the tweeter stayed the same. The original tweeter was orange in color and had a square plate that was mounted di... | |
| To tone control or not to tone control Seantaylor99I replaced the Infinity speakers with Silverline Sonatas. A big improvement, but the biggest improvement in dealing with the bad recordings was to replace the Sherwood cdp with a Theta Miles cdp. Now all cd's are listenable. Obviously ... | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music OK it's time for some Rock n Roll and blues. There is so many tunes that move me that it is impossible to give a top three. Right now I am listening to Elvin Bishop's "Struttin My stuff" and it is moving me. Among others that move me are "Golden C... | |
| Silverline LaFolia, anyone?anyone?Bueller?Bueller? I have the Sonatas and am very pleased with them. They do a great disappearing act, have great mids and highs and adequate and realistic bass. I can only imagine the LaFolia as being as good and most likely better. I believe both use the same twee... | |
| New Home Depot concept coming to Audio? It seems that you are trying to mass market a specialty item. I don't think the concept will work. Specialty items such as high end stereo requires passion. This is where mass marketing falls short. Their passion is to make a profit by selling a h... | |
| Best speaker with tubes? I'm with Philefreak. Try the Silverline Sonata. Works well with tubes. A great speaker with excellent imaging, superb mids and highs and will accurately produce all the bass you feed it. Silverline uses a 7 watt tube amp to demo these speakers. BT... | |
| Great cd players that can connect directly to a power amp? Theta Miles also has an analog volume control. One reviewer said he couldn't tell much differ3ence in sound with and without preamp and he had a very costly preamp. I don't recall what kind he had however. I have had the Theta Miles for a couple o... |
