| Speakers that will bring me down to me knees crying with joy Infinity Beta's with BAT tube amps. They can make you cry. | |
| Mcintosh / MC1000 vs MC2000 I owned MC1000's for a while and also VTL, Manley and BAT tube amps. You are trying to compare apples to oranges. I've heard the MC2000 and it sounds good(not great)with B&W Nautilus 801's. It does not put out much power and sounds like it. It... | |
| Amp vs AMP Read the Classe Omega review-I believe they used your speakers and loved the combination | |
| Hear ye! Thou who knowist thy speakers.. I agree with Rzado, the Genesis' is the ticket. I've heard the rest and settled on Gen 201's but the V's are great also. WAF is very high also-they are pretty speakers. Brandt | |
| genesis digital lens I had one using it with a CEC TL-2 transport. For the money (used)+/-$650, it can improve the performance of your transport. It gave me more spaciousness, wider soundstage with perhaps a slight compromise in bass. I sold it when I bought a Theta D... | |
| Power Amp for base I went throught this problem with my Betas before I upgraded to Genesis' that come with their own bass amps. After trying many amps, I found that any Bryston or OCM amp provided the tightest, cleanest bass of any inexpensive amps. I also was told ... | |
| Home Theater Discussion I agree. Some of us have combination systems that cross over technologies and components. It would be a great forum. | |
| Sunfire Amps I agree. Bob Carver is a genius. A marketing genius. | |
| Sunfire Amps Garbage. Everything Bob Carver does involves a shortcut, all the way back to his Phase Linear days. Check out the mirrors behind neon bulbs to look like there's more tubes. Tacky! Bad enough he puts noisy devices right on the board, but to do this... | |
| McIntosh Amp Your dealer should always let you audition it at home. Don't deal with him if he doesn't. | |
| Best Digital Connection? DO NOT USE TOSLINK! It requires electrical/optical/electrical conversion, each degrading the sound. Use a quality digital RCA connection(true 75 ohm) interconnect made for digital transmission. | |
| Best used transport under $2000? C.E.C. TL-2 The best for the money. The only one that has been better is my Theta DaViD | |
| Dunlavy SC-IV v B&W Nautilus 802's I have heard both extensively. The B&W's are far better and friendlier speakers to position and imo to listen to. I would not consider the B&W's bright if driven with a good amp. The Dunlavy's are accurate but on the dull side. Just my opi... |
