| help me maximize my sonus faber concertinos If you could find a used REL Strata III sub to replace the Velodyne it would be just what the doctor ordered. REL subs integrate better than any I've ever heard but new they are about $1500. I haven't seen many used but it would be worth keeping y... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Dynaudio Evidence. The Temptation is not too shabby either. | |
| What is the best DVD player? No price limit..... The new Krell DVD Standard looks amazing. It is the closest to film quality I have ever seen from a DVD player. | |
| Anyone seen the Marantz VP8000 DLP The newer VP8100 looks significantly better with better black levels and definition. I'd only go with the 8000 if I could get a really good deal on it. | |
| PS Audio Ultimate Outlet. Does it work well on amps? I have tried the UO high current version with a few amps (Rotel RB-1080 up to a Krell FPB 300c) and it definately adds a level of blackness to the background but it also seemed to sap some of the pace and drive from the music. I found it can be a ... | |
| Has anyone auditioned a pair of Final .02 Electrostats? I am extremely familier with the sound of the electronics (Krell KAV-300il amp and Rotel RCD-991 CD player) and they definately were not the culprit. | |
| Add a sub to BW N804? Try a REL Strata III or Storm III subwoofer (depending on room size and budget) and you'll be amazed at the results. These subs integrate very well and will not only greatly improve the low end but also give the impression of cleaner and more open... | |
| Has anyone auditioned a pair of Final .02 Electrostats? I've heard the Final electrostats and the best thing I can say about them is that I was not impressed. Cheesy build quality and weak, indistinct sound. The MLs I have heard were much better for this type of speaker. | |
| Running a CD player directly into power amps, I assume that your cd player has a variable output so that you can control volume. The sound will depend on the quality of the volume control of your cd player, length of cables it needs to drive and whether it's output is powerful enough to drive... | |
| Best Passive Pre-amp with remote?? Check out Placette Audio, they make some outstanding units. There is more info on their web page. | |
| Comments on the Meridian 588 CD Player? The 588 is bright with an odd mid-bass bump. Head-to-head (on a $60k reference system) the 508-24 beat the 588 hands down. I'm not sure if there was something wrong with the 588 because is sounded so different, not in a good way, to the other CD p... | |
| Levinson Amps: What do they really sound like? EVERY amp has sonic color, to say that Levinson's don't is wishful thinking. If that was the case, Madrigal wouldn't need to keep coming out with "improved" models. Current Levinson's, in my opinion, offer great resolution, deep soundstage but can... | |
| Bookshelf sized-cost no object Have a listen to the Dynaudio 1.3SE, Sonus Faber Guanari (sp) Homage and the Krell LAT 2. They are all exceptional small speakers and personally I feel the the 1.3SE is the best value of the bunch but if cost is no object... | |
| Opinions on Edge M8 or M6 Amp I've never heard them but they get a very high recommendation from Placette Audio, the makers of some amazing line stages. | |
| Which SS pre-amp Muse, Mus. Fid., Krell I haven't heard the Bryston but out of the rest I would recommend the Musical Fidelity A3cr. Tremendous sound quality for the money. |
