| I would like some feedback on a int. amp Can you tell us more about your speakers? You simply said "monitor speakers", so are we to assume Harbeth, Yamaha NS-11s,or Radio Shack?If you are going to keep your current speakers, they will probably dictate what integrated amp you need more th... | |
| Integrated w/phono: Musical Fidelity or NAD or MH? Sorry, I should have been more clear - the Peachtree Decco is an integrated amp w/ a built-in DAC. | |
| Integrated w/phono: Musical Fidelity or NAD or MH? The units you listed would all be good choices, but if it were me I would probably go a different route - non-phono integrated and seperate phono stage.I would look at the Jolida JD-1301A hybrid amp. It's a 30W killer and is available new for unde... | |
| Can speakers be too large for a room Matt,Wow, you did a real job on your room. Built as you have described, I'm not sure why you feel the need for the additional treatments; especially if the floor is carpeted.I converted a 3rd garage stall into a recording studio for one of my daug... | |
| Can speakers be too large for a room Yes, but it doesn't sound like that's your problem.I agree with Dlcockrum; 1st remove all of your room treatments and listen. Then reposition your speakers, even if that means trying them in a different orientation to the room, and listen again. T... | |
| Upgrading wall outlets Hmmm, so now all of the psuedo-experts and engineers come out. Guys, by all means believe what you want to believe. By all means discount physics and electromagnetic theory.Stanwal - I never claimed that I hadn't tried ever tried changing an outle... | |
| Upgrading wall outlets Shadorne, thank you for your careful explanation. But what, exactly, constitues this "unreliability" of high end audio power supplies that you mention? And how would simlpy changing a household power outlet cause a significant change to the sound ... | |
| Upgrading wall outlets Stanwal, if you knew me better you would understand that:1. I haven't learned how to hear what doesn't exist, and 2. I always have an opinionCheers, | |
| Hyperion 938,Emerald,Aurum Cantus,JM reynaud,Gallo I will second the Philojet's recommendation for the JM Reynaud speakers. I have a pair of Offrandes, and I find them to be exceptional; especially in regards to the wide and deep soundstage. It's almost like a third-row concert experience.To me th... | |
| Upgrading wall outlets This thread is a hoot. I mean no disrespect to anyone who has previously posted and has found audio nirvana by simply changing out an electrical outlet. But with 30+ years in the business of designing and building computer datacenters, and dealing... | |
| Transmission line speakers At the risk of sounding like a broken record, the best transmission line speakers I have heard are the JM Reynauds. I am a big fan of the (now doscontinued) Offrande speakers, but the entire line shares many of the same qualities: warm, liquid, de... | |
| Wilson Sasha vs Meridian DSP 7200? I use a pair of Meridian DS5500s w/ my 508.24 and Squeezebox as my living room system, and I think that they sound very good. What Theo describes as "sterile" I would describe as completely neutral and colorless. These speakers can be brutally rev... | |
| Looking for new monitors - $300-$600 budget I use a pair of Dynaudio Audience 42Ws in my office w/ my Luxman integrated amp, and they sound great. But the new Rega R1 speakers are supposed to be just the thing with the Brio amp, but I haven't had a chance to audition them yet. I'm thinking ... | |
| question about speaker placement. dead end room? Looking at your system specs and pictures, there are many things that stand out as being less than optimal (room dimensions, speaker location, tile floor, center speaker on the component rack, etc.); much of which has been mentioned by the previou... | |
