| Ayon Triton-Speakers? like Quattros, but--- Always select speakers first. If you are drawn to the sound of Vandersteen loudspeakers then you should probably buy them.Other speakers that are like Vandersteen are Devore Fidelity which are also liquid sounding speakers, Other speakers you migh... | |
| wilson sophia and B&W 802d with Gamut di150 Gamut is very musical but not super powerful, the 802D generally like power to come alive, however, 150 watts in a good sized room is more power than most people actually need.The Sophia's do work well with lower powered amplifiers, providing the ... | |
| Dynaudio Confidence C1 and Vivid V1.5 You have great taste two of the worlds highest performing compact speakers!Here is the tale of the tape:Vivid is a much more advanced design with a whole host of innovative techniques which eliminate any cabinet colorations,Vivid uses identical ma... | |
| Musical Fidelity KW Mono's or Chord SPM 1400E's Although the match may be great with the Chord amplifiers it may also be too much in the same flavor, unless I could live with both amps and or hear it in my own system I would be cautious as you may muck up the system. | |
| Wilson Audio Question compaired to Vandersteen I didn't say get the Sophia 3, I was making a point about the deal buyer mentality, a great deal is only a great deal when you take into consideration a number of possible factors.Take for example:A Levinson 33H which was a $30k amp which probably... | |
| Wilson Audio Question compaired to Vandersteen Shcipo makes some good points, however, I am not a Vandersteen fan, the Vandersteeners are zelots who have a rather fight than switch mentality, as far as I am concerned there should be zero brand loyalty only to creating musical realism, what bra... | |
| Velodyne DD Plus: New King of the Jungle? Sorry dude this sounds like a marketing pitch!I have owned the DD 15, which was decimated by the Earthquake subs. The Earthquake played louder and lower and was very fast and blended beautifully with a large number of different speakers, the Earth... | |
| rosso fiorentino Marble the only way to find out is to hear one yourself. | |
| Magico Q3 vs wilson sophia 3 Both speakers are quite transparent, however they differ wildly in character.Wilson's are more exciting, go deeper and have more punch.Magico's are less exciting, have perhaps a bit tighter bass with less punch, but are a bit more accurate. It als... | |
| Shindo Monbrison better a RedWine Isabella? My comment is not about circuit topology but sound quality, the reason so many people like the Shindo sound is the lack of artificiality, natural tone colors, and its overall musicality, kind of like an SET type sound that is really good SET amp p... | |
| Shindo Monbrison better a RedWine Isabella? Sorry, Paulfobrecht, but the Manley 300b preamp sounds like a Shindo. I am not talking about the Manley amps, but the preamp does. The 300b preamp uses obviously 300b tubes which gives the preamp a very dimensional and very flowing organic present... | |
| Shindo Monbrison better a RedWine Isabella? The Shindo is a more musical preamp with a richer sound then the Red Wine, however, you have to way if the system is going the right direction, the Devores are not exactly bright sounding speakers either. I am really surprised that so many audioph... | |
| Conrad-Johnson LP66S Amp? It is a very good amp, just a hint of warmth. Not bloomy like older CJ products. | |
| Totem vs Dynaudio You can drive either ones, go to a dealer and listen to both an see which ones you like, and bring your amplifier to check. | |
| Oh how I wish Class D amps ... Here's the key to Nuforce, must be left on, and warmed up for a day or two before listening, I never turn mine off, you need good power cords, and good power conditioning, and they must be broken in, in no way is the Nuforce dull. |
