| Bach's Chaconne orchestrated No. It was not bombastic or pompous at all. It was very delicate. I think Jarvi's style in general is lighter than some conductors. Even Shostakovich's 5th did not sound bombastic, which it certainly could, especially the finale.And percussions we... | |
| b&w805s vs ATC scm19 Mani-2 sounds like a floorstander. Except it is a monitor. Accurate and musical at the same time. I never heard Totem 1. If you have the proper amp, I'd go with Mani-2 Sig instead of anything else. You most likely won't need a sub. But remember, a... | |
| b&w805s vs ATC scm19 I never heard ATC speakers. However, as far as I know, there are studios who utilize B&W speakers for monitoring. Lucasfilm THX being one of them. Or at least they used to be. In any case, it looks like you're looking for a nice monitors. if y... | |
| Room size for B&W 802D??? the room size should be OK. you may want to pull the speakers out as far as you can. First, it will most likely sound less boomy, and second, you will increase soundstage depth. The closer the speakers are to the wall behind them, the less is dept... | |
| mo' better bass: any substitute for watts? how low do they go in the bass? what's the frequency range? is it uniform with all CDs that the volume needs to be cranked up to get bass? What is your budget for the new amp? | |
| mo' better bass: any substitute for watts? Most likely you will get some improvement in the bass at lower levels. But another solution is to add a powered sub and keep your existing amp if you like it. | |
| Bach's Chaconne orchestrated It seems that the recording of the orchestrated Chaconne is hard to come by. I can't seem to find any on the interent. That's a pitty. | |
| Spectron Musician III SE Mk.2? What Changed? Here's the reason why, I think, this thread turned to SNAFU.1) If there is a question about a particular product updates, upgrades, new models, etc., it is always best to call the company and speak with them about it over the phone. Posting such q... | |
| Does it make sense to go for Pass 0.2 ? what are you looking to gain? I think if you upgrade your amplifier to X250.5 or X350.5 you would gain more than you would from the preamp swap. JMO. | |
| Spectron Musician III SE Mk.2? What Changed? this is amazing. | |
| Spectron Musician III SE Mk.2? What Changed? Guido you were right! He posted.This is a detailed answer you get from the manufacturer alright. Hillarious.Oofer, are you still interested in Spectron products?LOL | |
| Soundstage wide and deep but not at all tall. . . Jswarncke, a good preamp may help. In my experience a preamp expanded the soundstage in all directions. Also, consider some acoustic treatment on the ceiling. If you overdamp the sides and floor, this may reduce the height of the soundstage. Can y... | |

| tube ringing? Sam, you're welcome! | |
| Levinson, Pass labs or Parasound? if you're considering Pass Labs amplifier, then you're probably better off if you get the latest .5 amps. X350.5 or even X250.5. Although I never compared how the older series amps sound vs the newer x.5 series, word is the newer ones are more nat... |
