| My system is bright? I need help. thanks Scientist73,Why wouldn't you consider replacing the KW 500 amplifier with one that mates better with your speakers? You mentioned the MC402, which happens to be in the same price range as you could expect to get for your KW 500. You could then eit... | |
| My system is bright? I need help. thanks I too think a different amplifier will be your ultimate solution. However, you're not changing amps now, and in the meantime, your system sounds too bright. In my experience, the line between musicality and piercing headache is often crossed by si... | |
| My system is bright? I need help. thanks That's great news!!! | |
| APL NWO2.5 ? Well, I finally got to hear the NWO-2.5 tonight. My review of the player? ___________________(insert expletive here) unbelievable!Alex said he had reached a point with the player where he was now unable to analyze or dissect the sound. We also fou... | |
| My system is bright? I need help. thanks From my perspective, the troubleshooting list is the same, though I would also try and play with speaker toe-in/out. Also, is the plasma sitting between the speakers? I couldn't tell from your description. They can really brighten things up. I don... | |
| My system is bright? I need help. thanks 1) Room, if possible. Anything reflective right behind your seating position?2) ICs...Cardas is an excellent suggestion. Most likely the answer in this case.3) PCs...even the $8 Volex was a big improvement over stock. No more high-end glare.4) Plu... | |
| Your Favorite, Most Outstanding Guitar Solo Several come to mind:Dave Navarro (Jane's Addiction) - "Had a Dad"Bob Mould - "Wishing Well"Bill Nelson - "October Man" | |
| Speaker Suggestions? Sonus Faber AmatiEgglestonWorks Andra IITyler Woodmere--all will mate well with McIntosh, and give you an engaging, totally non-fatiguing sound. If you're leaning toward B&W, I'd suggest hearing the JM Labs as well. | |
| Speaker Suggestions? $20K or under? You have a lot of options. Great amp/preamp, by the way.Give us some specifics--room size, music genre preferences, source you will use, cabling, speakers you've heard and liked--and we can start spending your money for you. :-) | |
| Tube amp for rock? Newb Questions Another option just came to mind. If you can find a used Audio Aero Prima Hybrid amp, it will run about $600. We drove 90dB and 93dB speakers with its 40W to ear-bleeding levels, and anything from Van Morrison to Pantera sounded phenomenal. Truly ... | |
| Tube amp for rock? Newb Questions I too would stick with SS. You're talking hard rock & metal on a serious budget. Heritage Klipsch with an older McIntosh amp will get you a lot farther than those on your list of considerations. However, for the money you're talking, you are g... | |
| Anyone a Regina Spektor fan? My sister is her vocal coach, not her manager or booking agent. It's odd, because she's playing some great venues out here in CA. | |
| Speaker match with Pass Labs XA-160 I heard the XA-160s with Eggleston Works Andra II's. If you like the Pass sound, the XA is a welcome step up from the X-350. More rounded, fluid, altogether more musical. The Andra II's are phenomenally good, the kind of speaker that will stop you... | |
| Speaker match with Pass Labs XA-160 It would have been beneficial to the conversation had you noted in your initial post that your list of considerations was no larger than space between the erasers and the Chicklets. | |
| Speaker match with Pass Labs XA-160 OK, I accept that X is wrong. And I know two wrongs don't make a right. But what about three wrongs? It just feels right to me... |
