| anyone using Ayre amplification on any Wilson Sys Rapogee, Ditto to Jfrech response. However I will add this additional experience. For W/P 7 & 8 and Sasha I did not find the V5xe to have enough gusto to effectively drive these speakers, particularly with R&R. I think you need a more subs... | |
| How to tame brightness Do what Kal said. I had my room treatments done after I purchased speakers and it is a world of difference. Like upgrading speakers.If that doesn't work buy some flour. :) | |
| More female vocals Feist. | |
| Wilson's new speaker the Sasha is coming. Robertd- I agree with Elberoth2. Were the Sophia II's driven by Ayre V5xe? I auditioned the W/P 7 & 8 with the Ayre V5xe and had the same experience. However, auditioned the W/P8's with the Ayre MX-R and it was a whole new ball game IMO.Elbero... | |
| Your First Concert was..... KISS in the Summit, Houston, TX. I was in 5th grade. I can't remember the year exactly ( I think '77 or '76) but the opening act was an unknown band- STYX! | |
| Ayre k5 Pre + subwoofer ?? I think you need to run your out to a crossover and then to your speakers and sub from there. Your sub may have a built in crossover. If so then I think you need to go to your sub and then to your speakers. | |
| Wilson Sasha's - All evolution in Wilsons are..... The Sasha is a winner IMO. I have had my pair for several months now. I posted last year that the difference in the Sasha vs W/P8 was huge and others poked fun of me . It now seems that others are hearing the same now. As I have stated the Sasha s... | |
| DCS Puccini into Lamm M 1.2 w/o preamp? Martin, I have the Puccinni and had to drive my Ayre MX-R amps directly while my Ayre K5xe was being upgraded for MP. I must tell you that the Puccinni direct to my amps does not hold a candle to the performance I get with my Ayre pre amp. Now I a... | |
| ayre K-5xe anyone tried the mp upgrade I did the upgrade and I recommend. I did it last year so I can't give you a detailed comparison but there was a significant improvement. Wider soundstage and more separation of instruments. It is not an expensive upgrade and it will take your perf... | |
| Does Class A amplifier artificially smoothen sound I don't understand how a DVD-A can give you a headache. I don't listen to DVD-A's but I do listen to SACD's and I can't ever remember a situation where my SACD's sounded worse than my SACD's. There may be some artistic license with mixes and multi... | |
| Wilson Sophia 2--- VTL S-150 or Ayre V1-xe? Nick,Your just going to have to audition a few combinations to see what works for you. I have to laugh at most of the crap that gets posted on the Gon. Most of the posts are from people who have never heard the items they discuss and often in less... | |
| Best Bang for $2000 System Upgrade? I forgot to second Schipo's recommendation for room treatments. It is truly amazing what room treatments will do to the performance of a system. A good room treatment can give the effect of upgrading every element of your system. | |
| Best Bang for $2000 System Upgrade? I would keep what you have and add the Ayre QB-9. In time you can upgrade your system by adding a better dedicated 2 ch pre-amp with HT bypass like the Ayre K5xe mp or something comparable. After that you can look to upgrade your speakers as funds... | |
| Lexicon BD-30 universal player Sidssp,I read the review and that is really unbelievable. If this is true it is a big black eye for Lexicon and I think not good for the high end HT industry. I know Ayre and Theta are also building off of the Oppo BD-83. Ayre has done this with i... | |
| New spreakers sound great But "efficient speakers do not have bass unless woofer is +12 inch". So the Wilson Audio Sasha does not have bass? A more powerful/better amp or sub may be what you need but I would take it slow. Give speaker time to break in and play with speaker/lis... |
