Recommended Transports for an Audio Aero DAC
1MarkrMy turn to give you advice!I use a ML 37 transport and 36s DAC.Had Proceed CDD and DAP.In a nut shell:ML 37 much better than CDD. 36s not that much better than DAP.The transport is going to give the detail the DAC the character of the sound.... 
Low freq. from small drivers? Is it possible
Eldartford.....the reason many enthusiasts buy 3 way speakers is for "good bass" ,not for good midrange.Misconception, of course.A point I think we would agree on. 
Low freq. from small drivers? Is it possible
Hi Dr KenI laugh at people who say you need 3 way speakers for good bass.The quality of the bass more important than the quantity.Stick with 2 ways ,many added benefits-timing,coherency ,imaging,simpler crossover etc.Revel M20's good example of a ... 
Merlin TSM-M vs. B&W Sig. 805
Hi James Met with Dr Ken's question on 805 Sign ,remember ?I ordered VSM-MM Speakers without seeing or hearing them.Go to their web site and read everything on the site to get a complete understanding of what these products are about.Also look car... 
Spades/Bananas/bare wire?
Bare or Spades.No Bananas,leave for the Monkey's! 
Good sound possible on a bookshelf?
Yes,but Compromising.Revel M20 good choice.Flush mount setting at back of speaker.Not to fussy with positioning .Good idea to give few inches at back to breath.Supplied with shelfmount feet as standard.Remember grilles extra.Well balanced speaker ... 
B&W N 805 vs. N 805 Sig. Opinions?
Cannot give any comment.Have no idea what B&W costs in US.I'll have to compare $2500 relative to what the other models in their lineup costs.Then will be able to put in perspective Prediction:Cost will be much closer to 805Naut than 805Signt.B... 
B&W N 805 vs. N 805 Sig. Opinions?
My feelings the same.Now perhaps my original remarks regarding "better alternatives" can be better understood.Hope Dr Ken is reading our writings. ThanksBlue Bull of SA 
B&W N 805 vs. N 805 Sig. Opinions?
BrianThink the $2500 version wont be called Signature.More likely 805 Naut MK 2 or Series two or 805 SE. In other words will look like 805 Naut but with the "inside "of the 805 Signature.Perhaps Bigtree has more info.I got my info from the Export ... 
B&W N 805 vs. N 805 Sig. Opinions?
Brian and Dr JamesPerhaps now you understand my original response to Dr Ken's question regarding paying too much of a premium for the Signature version.If you read again you'll see that I did mention the new 800 series.This was confirmed by Bigtee... 
B&W N 805 vs. N 805 Sig. Opinions?
Dr KenI think Bigtee answered your question.Same sound, less cosmetics for less Dollar.This answers your original concern about paying for cosmetics.You can even consider the 705's(EISA speaker of the year).Considered by many to be superior to the... 
B&W N 805 vs. N 805 Sig. Opinions?
There are no facts in Audio,only opinions.Does your opinion make it a fact then ?Who says there is no experience on the matter at hand?I do agree take it home for a trial.Do it even better,take all my suggestions home for a trial.Please read the r... 
B&W N 805 vs. N 805 Sig. Opinions?
Premium you are paying is to much.Better alternatives eg.JM Lab Micro Utopia.Merlin TSM-MM OR MX perhaps?I went from CDM 1 NT to Revel M20's(better than Naut 805) and now ordered Merlin VSM-MM's.Also considered 805 Signatures but Just to expensive...
