| Best power amp for Avalon Opus Ceramique Fankpiet,Which amp/s are you now living with now? Did you end up with the Boulder integrated?I've been seriously considering a similar system: Boulder 850's, balanced Placette, AA or Sim Andromeda source + Eidolon's. Not quite ready this year, but... | |
| limitations of red book std. or something else? Thanks for your comments/corroboration too Ghostrider45. My audio-neuroses seems to have been put in check rather quickly here ;) LOLCheers!Mike | |
| limitations of red book std. or something else? Thats an interesting theory Rcprince. I haven't seen a live performance, and it could well be physically demanding to the point of the orchestra's effort being the noise. ...Hadn't thought of that :) Thanks! | |
| Dahlquist DQ 10 or DQ 20? DQ20/i - no question. If you can find a pair in good shape & in your price range get em. The 10's still sound good though.If you have the space and are lucky/patient/vigilant enough you might find a set of DQ30's. Everything the 20's do, plus ... | |
| Amp recommendation for Alon Circe? I've always liked warm-ish sounding amps with Carl M's various speakers - Carl himself believes his gear should be paired to tubes. If SS then I'd try (in no particular order) Classe, Plinius & Sim Audio. I'd definitely stick with the 200W min... | |

| How to ship BIG equipment at moderate cost? ...Its called a van!No, but seriously... BAX global is awesome. Boxes in pristine condition, competitive rates. Some might be a little cheaper, but what is your peace of mind worth? | |
| Which speakers work close to back wall? I'll second Garfish's comment re: NHT.No offense to other posters, but most if not all of said speakers sound best further away from the front wall - in most cases several feet. NHT 3.3's were designed to be within 2" of the front wall. In fact th... | |
| Will Microsoft kill DVD-A and SACD? Zaikes,There is such a thing as multi-channel HDCD. My business neighbor is a post production recording studio. When I first purchased my Sim Audio Eclipse with HDCD the engineer was surprised, and wondered why it had HDCD but wasn't multi-channel... | |
| Martin Logan Descent subwoofer Don't know how it compares to other subs, but it literally SHOOK the Martin Logan HT room at Brack Electronics in Thorn hill. The room must have been 22ft long by at least 15ft wide with a 9ft ceiling. I was astounded such a small box having so m... | |
| Eidolon, Amati Homage, or Watt? Its quite refreshing to see so many positive comments regarding all of the speakers concerned. Often when one asks a question (such as your own) it will meet with highly partisan, non-objective comments and recommendations - Kudos to all of the th... | |
| Ugliest speaker ever? Acapella "Excalibur" or "Campanile".I've seen the Campanile's in person. ...Can't say how they sound, but visually speaking these take whats wrong with the Avant-gardes to a whole new level - kinda like Elephantitis of the loudspeaker.http://www... | |
