| Anybody tried Naim integrated with ATC speakers? NAD is releasing a new integrated amp that takes many of the advanced features of the M3 and places it in the more modestly priced non-Master series chassis. It is the new 375. I would hold off buying the M3 in favor of this. Very impressive specs... | |
| Are some years of NAD 2200 better than others? The basic watt per channel and noise cancellation improved through the years, peaking around 1987 to 89. | |
| Some of the Best speakers for Prog Rock/Metal ATC 20s. Your favorite album was probably mixed on these, as they are the preferred studio speaker for a host of bands and major league producers. The come in active or passive mode. The active speakers produce louder and more defined bass and drums. | |
| Best Rock Albums in 2009, so far Just picked up the Neko Case album: one of the best--easily knocks out the U2 and Animal Collective albums. Fantastic backing tracks by Matt Ward, Los Lobos and Calexico. What a beautiful voice! Also love the retro feel of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' new... | |
| Best $5,000 system for a small apt. in Stockholm Agree with Shadorne's recommendation for an insanely good used system. Have that setup at home.For off the shelf new stuff: Cambridge Audio 540 int amp, Cambridge Audio Magic DAC,Wadia 170, iPod, a NAD CD, small Dynaudio Contours or DALI Lektors. | |
| Speaker to be used with PC Powered speakers by Audioengines (model 2.0) work great with iTunes.I also love the Blue Sky EXO connected to an iPod. You can get this at Guitar Center for $200. | |
| LFD zero vs plinius 9200 vs MF A5 for spendor 8se Agree on the LFD. Build quality is second to none. They individually match the electronics and the gear is completely handbuilt in the UK. I might also want to look at the new MacIntosh 6300. At 150 watts, it will easily drive these. LFD is a cult... | |
| Most agreed upon best speaker? ShadorneI have been in and out of studios my entire life. I can't tell you the sheer number of NS10s I have seen over the years in all the major rooms in LA.Nice thread that brought back good memories. | |
| Good $2k Used Speakers for 20wpc tube amp Maybe Devores, Zu Tones or DALI Ikon 6s. They all are very efficient speakers that will match well with tubes. | |
| thoughts on NAD M3 Great amp for the money. Use it to drive some passive ATC speakers in a pro studio environment. Really wonderful soundstage, low noise, neutral mids, and solid bass. | |
| Which amp is good for Spendor SP-1 NAD are wonderful values, offering neutral sound and generous watts. I really like the NAIM integrated amp 5i and can also recommend the Exposure 2010 or the LFD Zero III. | |
| Dexter Gordon Influences Metalica Dex would have probably illegally downloaded the entire catalogue and, as a true pirate, refused to give his iPod up to Lars. | |
| Best Rock Albums in 2009, so far Four are on heavy rotation in my house: Anthony Johnson, M. Ward, Animal Collective and the new U2. | |
| Dynaco A-25's and a sub-woofer? M52Now you are talking. That system will have the Rat Pack cool factor. | |
| Dynaco A-25's and a sub-woofer? I would look for an old Dynaco Dynakit amp, or maybe a newer used Italian one like a Unico Preludio. The tubes will warm these up immensely. I would match it to a Thorens 124 tt. |
