| Parasound JC-1 with B&W Nautilus speakers? Break in the JC-1s 24/7 with music going through, low volume is fine...at 30 or 31 days you will hear a very nice improvement, and it keeps getting better for almost another month after that as they become lighter, faster and sweeter... | |
| Need more info on the Electron Kinetics Eagle-7A Hi, I just spoke with a buddy who uses a pair of Krell MDA-300s to drive the woofer towers of his modified RS-1Bs. He uses a Dahlquist active crossover in lieu of the Infinity crossover for a couple of reasons, one that the latter is out of commis... | |
| Audio nirvana ends with planar/electrostats? Sound Lab speakers are the end of a journey for many who take the plunge. Having owned several other electrostatics and moving coil speakers, I eventually decided to become a dealer for them (there's my disclaimer). There aren't many other speaker... | |
| OK folks, what the best pre for under 10,000? Before spending a lot of money on a preamp, consider replacing your amp. The Parasound A21 is a nice little amp, but it's out of place with the rest of your system. With $10k to spend, you could buy a good preamp for $3-4k (Blue Circle, GamuT and ... | |

He is interested in Sound Lab A-1s as well, to use them for conventional two channel listening and in a home theater setup. He is building an addition to his house for... | |
| No Bi-Amp but tubes for Maggies -- can it be done? If you are interested in other options, you might also consider Parasound JC-1s (disclaimer: I sell them). A customer who recently borrowed a pair from me to try with his MG 20.1s declared them the ones to beat, having tried quite a few other soli... | |
| SoundLab Millennium-3 Bigkidz, it sounds as though you have a nice room for M-2s, especially if you're getting some room reinforcement. Having heard a number of speakers with transmission line bass over the years such as IMF, I can understand your liking the sound. Tha... | |
| SoundLab Millennium-3 With your ceiling height, the M-2s or M-3s would easily fit. With a slight customization at time of manufacture, the M-1s would fit. One of my customers has a similar ceiling height and wants M-1s if possible, so I have researched the possibilitie... | |
| Do Sound Labs play deep bass in large rooms? You should be able to achieve good bass performance in a room of that size. Specified frequency response is down to 28 Hz with the M-1 and A-1, while the U-1 goes a few Hz lower due to the rigid steel frame. Performance in one's room will be deter... |
