| Fairly new to streaming. Where to start? BTW Many of the streamers/ Dacs in my list have a 30 day $$$ back warranty (if bought new) Obviously not when used. I'd still considered used thoughAnother concern is to have a digital coax out so as to hook my CDP into. Also, I only have 134 inch... | |
| Fairly new to streaming. Where to start? @photomaxThanks. My system is listed here on Agon. Pictures need update to show the tube amp, new CJ CT5 pre and the 2 sumiko subs. I'm always ready to buy used in good shape, especially when entering an arena. I don't want the forever DAC right n... | |
| Floor Stander or Monitor w/ 2 subs? What does the later give up in a large room? @arionGood info which enforces my thoughts. However the idea of stressing the monitors is something I hadn't thought about. And that stress will show up sooner or later. Yes, new room....I hope. although I was a builder/carpenter, I am 69 yrs old ... | |
| Floor Stander or Monitor w/ 2 subs? What does the later give up in a large room? @newbee It does give you a better respect for the Silverline's abilities. | |
| Floor Stander or Monitor w/ 2 subs? What does the later give up in a large room? @soix Yess, I think I'll hold on to the Silverlines for the time. If the room comes into fruition It will take my $$$.@b_limo The problem with Salk is that they are power hungry. These are 84db and require 100wpc. My amp is 35wpc. I've had good so... | |
| You could work for any manufacturer, past or present... @erik_squires I meant no offense with my post. It did catch me off guard. It's just an aspect I would never have considered. Doesn't make it wrong though. It may have expanded my view if anything. | |
| Floor Stander or Monitor w/ 2 subs? What does the later give up in a large room? OH, BTW to everyone else. I have a pair of Infinity RS-1 which I plugged into the system. Since I have the 2 subs, I figured it may give me an idea concerning my question. So I took the Silverline Sonatas our of the path and put the RS-1 in. I wa... | |
| Floor Stander or Monitor w/ 2 subs? What does the later give up in a large room? @b_limo The upshot may be that I build a room for me. I was going to do that 10 or so years ago. Now, maybe I can do that albeit a little smaller than the one from then. This will expand my office into a nice size music room 11 x 21 (will be the g... | |
| You could work for any manufacturer, past or present... Wow!! Talk about feeling out of place. I never have wanted to build electronics nor work with anyone who did. I respect them and their work. But my focus is solely on the music itself. For me, music is not a hobby but a lifestyle. I love listening... | |
| Just curious — Crown xls 5202 amplifier Still, I would think a lot of guys would want that kind of power for such a low price). And that one myth has probably been the downfall of many systems. In the "golden days" (whenever that was 60'-70's )high powered amps were not readily avail... | |
| Power Amplifiers I recently pulled our my Harmon Kardon 730 twin powered receiver to use in office. I bought this along with the Original large Advent speakers in 1978. I used it up until the late 90's. When I first turned it on and heard the full sound of this a... | |
| Such hard decisions :D Anyone with some insight on Amp Selection? Welcome. Maybe the best thing is to decide your goals. Is it just power you want? Or do you want good sound with it? The biggest problem with trying to mix so much equipment together is that you generally end up with a mess. Too many pieces cause... | |
| Floor Stander or Monitor w/ 2 subs? What does the later give up in a large room? @hilde45Thanks for the link. they look interesting. My biggest problem with some is their inefficient specs IE 84-85db efficiency. There are a couple I could drive though. | |
| Floor Stander or Monitor w/ 2 subs? What does the later give up in a large room? Thanks @b_limo . Yes the Watkins are pretty good. I've heard them and was shocked at how deep they go and the natural sound they exhibit. I think you have some valid & good ideas. And $1250 for the S% is a steal. Mine are actually Sumiko S-10'... | |
| Floor Stander or Monitor w/ 2 subs? What does the later give up in a large room? @newbee The SR-17's are legendary and hard to come by. Even with those, will they fill out the soundstage with full size figures?@mapman Yep. It does come down to that. I must kick myself for NOT doing the room when there was opportunity. Oh wel... |
