| What are your favorite speaker finishes? Buconero117, which manufacturers are doing speakers in Brazilian? Or are they all custom-builds? I've got two guitars with solid brazilian necks and I agree with you, it's superb. Smells like candy too. I've just never seen it on speakers but woul... | |
| What are your favorite speaker finishes? Hey Aolmrd1241, the leather on the Olympicas is real leather, not the faux stuff from the earlier lines correct? Something about Italian leather - the scent from Campomaggi leather accessories is the perfect example - it's just fantastic. I was se... | |
| Speaker positioning toe and tilt Yup, those guys said it. I'll only add that little changes can make huge differences...if you've not yet played with toe-in, separation, wall clearance, etc. you'll enjoy the differences these things can make. | |
| What are your favorite speaker finishes? Sonus Faber's walnut - loved the original Concertinos and Concertos, and now the Olympica is even nicer. I would buy the Olympicas just to stare at them.The red birds eye gloss on the B&W 805 Signature.I wasn't sure I'd like the carbon fiber o... | |
| Replacement bookshelf speakers for B&W Nautilus803 Depending on condition - quantity and severity of chips & scratches, tweeter dimples, any other cosmetic issues - and whether you have complete packaging, manuals, jumpers, etc. I'd say a range of $2500-3200 is probably not far off. I haven't ... | |
| Class D at low volume You guys already know how I feel about Class D...you won't find another owner out there happier than me with the Peachtree Grand Integrated X-1. And for people who not only need to listen at lower volumes, but do so in smaller environments, the lo... | |
| Replacement bookshelf speakers for B&W Nautilus803 I'm with Rlwainwright, if you love the B&W sound, the 805 is a great option. They're easy to find, plenty of supply on the secondary market, and they hold their value very well so even if you were to change things down the road you'd get back ... | |
| Killer on a Budget... Excellent! I'm definitely in the "simple is good" camp. And while I've never owned Emotiva, I've heard their components and have been impressed, so I'm not at all surprised that you're enjoying the sound. Isn't it great when you can arrive at some... | |
| Digital Amplifier Questions Hi B_limo,I've got the Peachtree Grand Integrated X-1, which combines the pre, amp and dac, so questions 2 and 3 won't apply.For question 1, I honestly don't hear sound difference between sitting down to listen after the unit has been powered for ... | |
| Wyred 4 Sound or Peachtree audio Zyac39, I think the Grand X1 probably gets overlooked because Peachtree doesn't have the name panache like some other higher-end brands. And maybe because the rest of the Peachtree line sits under the $2K mark, people just think of them only withi... | |
| Best speaker for songs like Heart - Alone This is a really interesting question rockpanther, because I know where you're coming from. When I was shopping for an amp, trying to decide between two different units, the dealer and I went through his CD collection looking for what we thought w... | |
| What is the best USED Speaker Under $10,000 Lighten up, Ctsooner, I was just messing with you guys. Didn't mean to hurt anyone's feelings, or make anyone feel smaller. I'll try to be more serious going forward - no more Travolta or Stigmata references, promise. | |
| What is the best USED Speaker Under $10,000 I just picked up a pair of Shlabotnik 3.5's, to replace the Yukobuvitch Rubellites (rarer than diamonds) I had previously. The Shlabotniks normally retail for over $20K but you can only buy them in Gdansk, and only if you have an FSB connction who... | |
| I have B&W 801's and want to add a B&W center I believe that was the HTM1, a great center. They're not hard to find on the secondary market, in great condition for under $2K, sometimes closer to $1500. | |
| Allnic 5000DAC This is one of those times ignorance may be just a little blissful :-) I was one of those kids who was decent at writing in school, but terrible at math. Now, I see frequency graphs and charts and specs and it all looks like advanced nuclear physi... |
