| Pick a preamp for my system: Ayre or MBL You had a K-1xe in your system with the MX-R? | |
| Power Conditioner/Surge Protection for my System Shunyata should suit you well along with Transparent products like the PIR and PIMM. | |
| JM labs Utopia vs JM labs Nova? As Shadorne has said it repeatedly, the speakers have to be 3 feet from the side walls and 6 feet from the rear wall. I think he is right!I'll do you one better, I *know* he's right. | |
| JM labs Utopia vs JM labs Nova? Your room is not nearly big enough. Altos. | |
| Speakers too wide apart? The best type of upgrade - free :) It never ceases to amaze me how simple room placement/treatment can transform a system; I've been there and learned my lesson as well. | |
| Dynaudio Sapphire vs Revel Studio2 perhaps so good that you could easily call either one the absolute best speaker in the world period (depending on your taste)No, just no. | |
| Wireless Speakers? Do they make such thing? I believe B&W has something like that coming this year called the "Liberty" I think... Here we go:http://www.audioholics.com/reviews/htib/b-w-liberty | |
| Dynaudio Sapphire vs Revel Studio2 Would you compare the Dynaudio midrange transparency to that of an electrostatic?Unfortunately, no. The Sapphire is very good speaker (but imo LF limited) but if you want electrostat type midrange transparency take a look at the Focal Be range. | |
| What speakers to get? Focal or B&W Arthur,That's a very good point and may explain the issues with the bass I heard (and frankly probably makes sense as I've always been confused as to why the bass "issue" hasn't been mentioned in reviews). In light of that, I'll withhold further c... | |
| Esoteric P5/D5 Opinions please Your opinion is just that. | |
| What speakers to get? Focal or B&W Everyone's entitled to their opinion; I don't view my comments as "bashing" (rather they are a compliment to how good the midrange and tweeter are); and that wasn't my intent. I can see how someone would be happy with the 1037Be; it just w... | |
| Esoteric P5/D5 Opinions please Well, the dealer is himself an interested party so his opinion does not necessarily have any added credibility over those having experience with the units and, frankly, many times is less credible. The manufacturer also has his own agenda. This is... | |
| What speakers to get? Focal or B&W My experience is otherwise (ignoring your curious attempt to compare last gen B&W to current gen Focal in completely different price ranges); in my experience the Electra 1037Be is completely unbalanced - bass is obviously outclassed by the su... | |
| JM Labs Altos There is nothing bright about the tweeter. The Be tweeter is a marvel, clean and clear and uncompromising. That neutrality reflects the system and the recording; if the system or the recording is bright you'll hear it; but don't blame the speakers. | |
| Esoteric P5/D5 Opinions please Does x-03 se capture around 80% performance of the p3/d3?Not even in anyone's wildest dreams. I would say it's maybe 50-60%. |
