| Placement of Martin Logan s Well I think that as far as placement, toe in is the most important issue, unless your experience bass boomy ness, in which case it'll be much more difficult and you need to play around more. But I've found that with my Ascents, to get the best so... | |
| Tube Amp for Martin Logan SL3 3 I disagree with Abstract7 there are plenty of amps in the $2000 used price that can drive the logans. Sonic Frontiers Power 2 at 110watt is one of them. A good 100 watt 6550 tube amp has more then enough juice for Martin Logan. And Martin Logans a... | |
| Best Integrated Amp for a period I had a VPI Aries with the JMW memorial arm and grado reference needle. I used a CJ Premier 15 phono section for my comparsion. But I don't have a large vinyl collection, but it sounded very smooth, a little on the tubey sound, the so... | |
| Best Integrated Amp JKINGTUT: The Goldmund does a have a remote volume control. Very simple metal cased remote. With just mute, volume, and a mode that you can set a reference volume, which you can return to with one switch. I've heard some VAC stuff, pretty good for... | |
| Best Integrated Amp The Musical Fidelity that I got the day when it came out was very good, however I don't think that at $4500 it was better then the Goldmund, it had slightly more current, but with the Goldmund and my Prodigy's I was still able to put out 113db in ... | |
| Spectral/MIT Well I've auditioned Spectral in my house and I'm thinking about buying it, Spectral is the most detailed stuff otu there and it is the MOST neutral stuff on the market. The problem is people are used to hearing Krell and Levinson's bumped up bass... | |
| Best Integrated Amp The associated hardware I used with the Levinson 383 and Goldmund were B&W Nautilus 803s, Thiel 2.3, Martin Logan Prodigy's which I have right now and the Maggie 3.6R and I've gotten a chance to hear Levinson with all of them and it just doesn... | |
| Classe vs Levinson I've owned both the Levinson 336, the new Classe CAM350 monoblocks and the Krell FPB300c. Neither of those amps are very musical sounding. The Levinson is much too dull and the bass is decent but not realistic or fun to listen to. The class was th... | |
| Help wanted in regards to monitors... I've heard them all, the aerials are like someone said too electronic sounding, Mike Kelly tries to make it exciting sounding which just means that its not natural and theres a midbass hump to increase the preception of bass. The N805 is a good sp... | |
| Which Line Conditioner? HTS-5000 is as good as the Grey and Mit I tried. also don't use power amps with line conditions generally. They always limit current, even the ones that say its designed for amps and say high current. Just do an AB test. The non conditioned amp wi... | |
| Why so many CJ Premier 11a for sale? Actually there are ELEVEN (no pun intended) Premier 11a on sale. That is a good question. Why is everyone selling, I've heard and their lovely tube amps and 70 watts tube is enough to drive more speakers for vocals etc.. | |
| Does room size affect volume and bass? You mean that I meant the dealer said that? | |
| Resolution Audio CD55 Just bought a CD55 off Audiogon, decent player, nothing really special, I expect a cd player selling for $3000 to sound great, personally I'm selling this so-so for an Accuphase, now thats digital at its best. | |
| Is there an alternate to Martin Logans? I'm a trombonist for the Boston Symphony Orchestra, I would consider myself a very well trained musician. I have probably heard more of what a live instrument sounds like then most. As far as decay goes, Musical decay is dependent on the hall that... |
