| AR SP16 Question...... I've noticed that with ARC preamps as well. My speakers are 89db, so it is still noticable. It's the type of volume control ARC uses plus only 70 steps on SP16.I had the same issue with LS-15. Now with LS-25 it is better. Besides the gain is adjus... | |
| MC402 vs FPB 300cx Jc51373, go for Krell FPB. Don't MAKE yourself like this amp. If it's not for you, then that is it.Does your dealer have anything else aside from the MAC he can let you listen to? Classe, Pass, Audio Research, Levinson? | |
| AZ Double Barrel and Purist AZ Double Barrel and Purist 20th Anniversary Aqueous. Other cable that would be in the same category is the Kimber Bi-Focal XL. | |
| MC402 vs FPB 300cx Jc51373, that's the way I felt when I listened to MC402, that it sounded nice but was not really involving in absolute terms.You are expecting the Krell to show the weakness of which component in your system?Keep in mind that MC402 provides equal ... | |
| Break in period Shadorne, I just don't follow what you are saying. | |
| Acoustic Zen Adagio, How Good Are They? Mrmitch, sometimes a brand new product receives way too much attention. Then suffers from over-exposure. I think this may be the case with the Adagios.They have received a lot of press and were mentioned on every audio forum on the internet. Besid... | |
| MC402 vs FPB 300cx keep the amp powered up. No surprise this one is better than Krell KAV. FPB series is a different matter though and would be an interesting comparison with the MC402. | |
| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? Leica_man, just like you said, it is system dependent. Which is not surprising. I liked Aqueous in my system better.I'm supposed to get my order this week. Will have to break them in, but Cable Co is doing a pre-burn right now, which should at lea... | |
| MC402 vs FPB 300cx Take a look at Pass Labs amps. I run X250.5 with N803. Can't complain. | |
| MC402 vs FPB 300cx I also agree with Arthur about speakers. N804 by nature don't go low in the bass. Krell will definitely help to bring out some bass impact, but ultimately, if you like B&Ws, you should go hear the 803D. IMO these speakers are a big improvement... | |
| MC402 vs FPB 300cx I would choose the Krell. I heard the MC402 with B&W 803S and it was pretty good, but nothing I would buy though. If you want speed, detail and bass slam, then go for Krell. Since you're using tubed pre, I think you will be good with the Krell... | |
| Break in period 03-11-07: ShadorneIf I gave you well known names from respected engineering and manufacturering bands like Sony, Denon, Pioneer, and Yamaha would this help? Since it is not that difficult to design stable and reliable audio electronics these days ... | |
| Pass & Plinius Amps It depends on which Pass amps you're talking about?I run X250.5 with Audio Research LS-25 tubed preamp with B&W N803 speakers. Very nice.So I guess it will also depend on which preamp you will pair the amp with. I heard my amp with Totem Mani-... | |
| acoustic zen bi,s or shotgun? you're welcome | |
| acoustic zen bi,s or shotgun? Satori Shotgun is designed for use wityh a 3-way speaker. The leads are High-Pass and Low-Mid Pass. I believe the Forest are 2-way. So the HologramII could be a better fit. Why don't you e-mail Lee and ask him. |
