| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Rebbi - thanks for the virtual system post! Love the Ohms in black. Is it a satin finish or glossy? Was there an upcharge for this finish? TIA | |
| Monitor with sub or Full Range Speakers Oops - sorry - the Vandersteen subwoofer model is 2Wq. | |
| Monitor with sub or Full Range Speakers IMHO, it's not whether to use a sub or full-range mains, but how you integrate the sub with the mains. I personally prefer towers with a powered sub. But not just any sub. I had a Def Tech PF15 for many years, and the bass was always boomy, undefi... | |
| Rega Apollo Upgrade ? Wig - please keep us posted on your impressions of the BDA-1 vs. the Apollo. Thanks! | |
| Best cartridge for my analog system arround 500$ ? While I am sure many A'goners buy & sell cartridges in great condition and enjoy their purchases, please use caution when buying a used cartridge. Aside from stylus wear, the potential for cartridge damage due to accidents or poor handling are... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Rockinrobin: Along with the Ohm 100's, the Songtower is a speaker that is on my list for consideration of a speaker upgrade. If you end up auditioning the Ohms against your Salks, I'd love to hear your thoughts! | |
| Repair my C-J PV11 or try to replace? Thanks, Jeff. As posted elsewhere in the forums, I know the 2Ce Sig IIs would be the natural upgrade for the 1C/2Wq combo, but the 2 series is too wide for the only position that will work in my room. The Quattro is too expensive, even used, for m... | |
| Repair my C-J PV11 or try to replace? Yes, No money, C-J service is indeed awesome. OK - unless someone else feels strongly otherwise, the C-J will go in for repair & refresh. Thanks, all! | |
| Speaker Ideas upto $2500 While in-home trials of loudspeakers are a great way to audition speakers in your home, if you don't have sources and amps yet, that could be challenging :-)You might want to look for authorized audio dealers in your area, and see what they carry.... | |
| Arcam or Rega CDP Wow! I have a very similar front end - Odyssey Stratos HT3 (for 3 front channels of combo 2-ch/HT system) and C-J PV-11 preamp. My current CDP is the entry level Rotel RCD-02. While it is a decent player, sound from other sources (A/V pre-pro, tur... | |
| 2 Ce Sig II tilt ? You're on the right track... just follow the manual. | |
| From tiny Silverline's to slightly bigger PSB's If you are considering Johnnyb53's suggestion of a small floorstander, and since you like the Minuet's sound, the prelude would be the natural step up. Very small footprint, twice the mid/woofers, and a larger cabinet. IMHO, the Prelude offers mor... | |
| Background Noise-In the vinyl or system related? Since I restarted my vinyl listening, I, too, have noticed great variance in the surface noise of LPs. Especially when dubbing to CD-R, and monitoring with cans, some Lps can sound extremely quiet, while some have a groove noise, others have somet... | |
| From tiny Silverline's to slightly bigger PSB's I have heard the Minuets and other PSB speakers, but not the Syncrony line. FWIW, I always find PSB speakers too forward in the upper-mids/lower treble. Also, I would not describe them as "smooth." Of course, the Syncrony might be better, and Joli... | |
| Vandersteen with? I haven't heard 3As in a long time, but I own the 1Cs and 2Wq subs. If had to pick a speaker most unlike the Vandys, I might well pick Def Techs. YMMV, but I find the Def Techs harsh, too bright and brittle sounding. Vandys, by comparison, are pre... |
