| Are silver cables on the way out? I've been selling high end cables in audio retail stores for years, and can say first hand, that the silver they've been using over the years wasn't that good sonically really. The older stuff by the top companies, involving siver, usually tended ... | |
| Which SPEAKER for the 21ST century? From my extensive experience with all types/genres of speakers/drivers, and what not(5 high end audio store sales possitions, 1000's of installations/sales, way too many audiophile shows, demo's, auditions, and in home experience)I think we either... | |
| Best system under 5K - that is a challenge First off, you didn't mention weather your doing 5.1 or just 2 channel. Second, you didn't say whether your mostly movies(if applicable) or music, or vice versa. Also, and at least as important, DESCRIBE THE ROOM IT'S GOING IN, AND ANY LIMITTATION... | |
| Speakers with built in subs? Alright, here's the skinny on all of this... ....First, all things being equal, there are several very real advantages, especially in a strictly HT context, to using full range type(or even not full range for that matter) speakers with powered sub... | |
| Will B&W center match Paradigm Monitor 5 No, you can't match brands. I've sold extensively both the Paradigms and B&W's over the years, and know em all! You'll never build a believable sound stage across the front by mix/matching. You'd be better off with upgrading all to one brand, ... | |
| Best Power Amp for Sonus Faber EA II You should try something with some body and warmth. The EAII's are a tad thin sounding compared to the older original EA's! Tubes would be a good choice, of higher end virtues IMO. These EAII's are easier to drive than the more demanding originals... | |
| Best speaker cable for Audio Physic's Virgo yes, I think you'll like the AZ cables. We've used both the Harmonic line calbes and Ocos with the Virgo's to very good results! The Harmonic Pro 11, 9, and even Melody Line are virtually unbeatable for the money (made by Robert Lee of Acoustic Ze... | |
| which speaker recomendations for this system... I'm currious...I'm looking at your system and would ilke to know what your complaints are? Why are you looking to upgrade? Are you not satisfied with the music sound reproduction, or is the movie playback not up to what you expect??? Anyway, I'd w... | |
| Anyone heard Montana speakers? I've heard em, and they do sound pretty good, yes! They remind me of a mix between Thiel and Dunlavy. Anyway, their a pretty good foundation to work with in my oppinion. Good luck | |
| Opinions on PSB Stratus Mini speakers... The PSB stratus mini is a descent enough speaker for the $1100 price range new. It's not world class, but not a slug either. It's got nice enough midrange, better than average bass, and has descent immaging. The top is rolled a bit compared to oth... | |
| plinius sa-250 The Plinius is a descent enough sounding amp. It's a bit better than the Krell, Aragon, Classe, McCormack,and Bryston HT dedicated amps, that's definite! If you like the sound of that Krell 5 channel, the Plinius will have a similar sound, only mo... | |
| Would love opinions on my HT puzzle I not only custom design and engineer custom home theaters/rooms for a living, but I've extensive hands on experience with all the equipment you just mentioned. Actually, the Dynaudio pieces illude me a bit in terms of specific models however. Nev... | |
| HT Pro Silway II vs. HT Truthlink I've owned/sold all the gear you just mentioned, and of course you might have to try to find out you're self, to really find out. But I must agree that the Pro Silway Mk II is ultimately "bright!" Iv'e tried em on a lot of different gear/speakers,... | |
| matching a pair of speakers to my equipment tell me about you're room and music tastes!!!It helps to narrow things down a bit. If you're a hard rock fan, who likes to head bang, or Classical/instrumental/vocals buff, it makes a difference!..as well as whether your room is big, small, medium... | |
| Why is the turnover on maggies 1.6QR so much? Once you get em home and discover that they won't play "Alice in Chains" or "Metalica" for beans, people get discouraged. I hate it when that happpens.... |
