| Looking for an amp: B&W 703's I don't have any specific amp suggestions, other than to piggyback Rlwainwright's notion and say that I like the idea of introducing tubes into that system (and that Butler is one sweet looking beast). I'm really just writing because I love your s... | |
| B&W PM1 PV1D 2.1 amp I used to own the PM1, and only sold them because I was presented an opportunity to get a pair of Wilson Benesch Arcs at a great price and had to go for it. I also had the Marantz PM8004, which I believe is the previous model, but with the same/si... | |
| Best Sounding Musicians I can listen to Charlie Haden all day long...his "Under the Missouri Sky" is one of my go-to favs when I just want to relax and not think about anything. | |
| Quality issues with Tekton speakers.... "This is why everyone hates audiophiles."Yes, and this thread is also probably contributing to teen pregnancy, juvenile delinquency, drought conditions in California, and the decline in sales of 8-track tapes. Someone please delete this thread bef... | |
| Quality issues with Tekton speakers.... Audiofreak, I can bottom-line this thread for you...Along with some helpful suggestions from people who don't have any financial/emotional attachment to Tekton, you're being minimized by two kinds of people here.The first is the person who actuall... | |
| Quality issues with Tekton speakers.... And courtesy of Onhwy61, a reminder to all users to make sure you use the exact same adjective modifiers from post to post, otherwise your original post could be invalidated. | |
| Quality issues with Tekton speakers.... Wow, this thread has me bewildered. People talking about how everything is cool because the company offered an exchange. But nobody is asking if the company offered to pay for the shipping to enable the exchange. Otherwise, how is it "very fair" f... | |
| Quality issues with Tekton speakers.... I'm the first to ask this, so maybe it's a dumb question and doesn't apply because of how those are built but...is there some reason you don't just exchange drivers? There's no need to send the whole speaker back - can't he just send you a pair of... | |
| Best USB DAC for under $1000 I can't help you with the Gungnir, but I can offer some input on DACs under $1000. I had a chance to try out the Peachtree Dac-itX, which has an ESS Sabre chip and does 24/192 USB, and I thought so highly of it that I went all the way and got one ... | |
| B&W DM600 Nice little pair of speakers, unless you're using them to fill a large room, or with inadequate amplification, or your own personal preference is for fabric/silk or ribbon tweeters, or they're being asked to provide a levels of resolution and/or l... | |
| The best Standmount Loudspeaker $6k or under Audioman58, how would you say those Carbons sounded when you compared them to the Audio Vapor Cirrus and the Proac D2? When you did your comparison, were you listening to all 3 brands on the same exact equipment in the same room with the same sour... | |
| Any suggestions where to find used pair B&W 801D? And the SNOW award (Social Negative Of the Week) for the week ending 9/21 goes to Sdrconsultant, for comparing a very fine speaker to a pair of laundry tubs and wooden spoons. Hang out here on AG long enough, and eventually you'll read the equival... | |
| Looking for bookshelf speakers Back in December 2012 you asked about the Revels, and another member asked what amp you would be using, and you never responded to them. Member Soix is asking that same question now, and it's a good question - amplifier choice makes a big differen... | |
| Inexpensive pair of bookshelf speakers. It is a lot to ask, Kiko65, but lots of fun bargain-hunting in this price range. Much more fun, I think, trying to "get lucky" with a $600 pair of speakers than a $6000 pair of speakers (where your expectations can run so high).From my own persona... | |
| Help Need speakers for Peachtree Audio Nova 125 I'm with Tigrisham, don't those MMGs require a lot of power? Not that the Peachtree's 125 is anything to sniff at - that's enough power for a lot of rooms. But some speakers are power hogs, and I think many (all?) of the Maggies fall into that cat... |
