| Room size & choosing speakers I did a comparison with Primare power and pre amp with the B&W805 and the Pl-100. The Pl-100 was superior in every part. Wenn you go back to the B&W805 the stage was almost flat. Almost no depth. Also in resolution and respons it was infer... | |
| Sub-woofer fast enough for Horns? Wenn it is slow it is not syngron with the music played by the speakers. And instruments and voives become bigger in proportion as they should be. Instruments and voices are very direct to point out in real. And very small in dimension. Timing is ... | |
| Sub-woofer fast enough for Horns? I have tested many many sub's in 15 years of time. In the past Rel was the most popular brand and most sold. These days they are not the best anymore. I Always owned very expensive Highend sets but without a subwoofer. Even sub's like the Rel Stad... | |
| Tube vs. SS Dilemma What I said earlier; the Ml380 is not that special!! | |
| Room size & choosing speakers You can spend you money only once. Just take a much time as you need. It is a lot of fun listening before you buy. Just enjoy it. I did a comparisson with the C1 and the Pl-100 from Monitor Audio. Stage of the Pl-100 was wider and deeper. Response... | |
| Pass X350.5 or Krell 302e? Transparent makes nice cables, no doubt about it. I did some test with Nordost Valhalla and the more expensive Transparent in the past. Was with Krell poweramp and pre amp. With Valhalla there was a lot more details and speed. The sound is Always ... | |
| Adding 2 channel goodness to existing reciever Because it has not the property to give depth. Vandersteen speakers can give depth. So you need an amp who can do this. Wenn you put an amp who can give a deep stage on a pre amp who can't give a deep stage. It is al gone. It is that simple! | |
| Room size & choosing speakers The limitation of B&W is still there crossovers. You never wil get the deep and wide stage as only in the best highend. For the absolute sound this is a pre. I did not go for the 800D I was irritated by the stage. Listening to your music with ... | |
| Quandry: Used Magico V2 vs. new S1 I am from Holland and Siltech is made overhere. I did test many of there cables. To be unnest there not the best. That is an understatement! In a-b shoots I always won. I do not like the filtering in the mid freq. You think you get more, but you g... | |
| Speakers that sound like Usher Be-20s/10s First you have to undestand an be aware of the properties of your Rotel. Rotel is a 2-dimensional brand. It has only a little depth. For a deep and wide stage you need an amp which can do this. Rotel does not have these skills. All amps I test if ... | |
| Sub-woofer fast enough for Horns? Rel has not the fastest response in the market. In the past I also sold the more expensive ones. To be honnest they were in some recordings too slow. With Audyssey Pro with fast sub's you now can get a fast and full stealth integration. A few year... | |
| Room size & choosing speakers In the past I sold often monitors with a subwoofer in smaller rooms. The end results were a lot better than bigger speakers. These days I use Audyssey pro and even with lower level Audyssey and I can use even big speakers in smaller rooms. This is... | |
| Adding 2 channel goodness to existing reciever The problem Marantz has is that it is very poor in creating a deep stage. Wenn you would buy a poweramp which can build a deep and wide stage the Marantz will f... it up. I have done these tests so many times. Wenn you have an Onkyo and you will u... | |
| Pass X350.5 or Krell 302e? It is nice to modify an already good amp. New caps often improve the speed and openness. I have a person who can, modify sources, amps, cables and speakers from my clients. Technique and time goes on. | |
| Why does Spectral have such a cult following I sold MIT for over 6 years. And I owned there best powercables. But still they have there own properties. These have a big influence on the stage, focus, sound, drive and control. There are enough sets were they are not the best combination. Play... |
