| 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... | |
| your most memorable component Looking into my crystal ball, they will be the George Wright AU-15 2A3 15W push/pull triode amps we just heard. George is on a run through CA, visiting dealers who sell his products, and was kind enough to stop by and let us hear his new 15W EL84 ... | |
| musical drummers...who are they ??? Aren't ALL drummers musical?Definitely not. As a drummer for nearly 30 years, I'd say there are very few who qualify as such. A musical drummer plays compositionally, carrying a tune of their own, even when playing solo. Not many, even the phenome... | |
| musical drummers...who are they ??? There is only one 'musical drummer'........STOMU YAMASHTA.No joke. I mean, if 'ol Stomu hadn't played on every CD in my collection, I'd be sitting in silence right now. | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? I have spoken to several people who have considered the Puppys to be far overpriced for what they do. FWIW.You can always find people to confirm any opinion, and they'll virtually line up to disparage a successful product or company. I suspect you... |
