| Amps for WP7 McIntosh MC402 (with C42 preamp). I also tried a Jeff Rowland Concentra II integrated but it was not a good pairing, the Mac gear was/is far better. | |
| Re-discovered Satellite Radio.. I am another that enjoys satellite music a lot. Like Dlr I get it through my DISH receiver; I have (long) interconnects running from the back of the DISH receiver to my preamp. Obviously the quality isn't top notch, still nice though, but I am dow... | |
| The Best Midrange in the World Right Now I should have stated in my post Shardone that this wasn't necessarily my view, I just received this email from MF and immediately thought of this thread and posted it. | |
| The Best Midrange in the World Right Now In light of this thread, an email from Musical Fidelity, I suppose this is their view...Do you have a hi-fi system or just an overpriced music centre?It's very simple to tell them apart: dynamic range is the main measure of a real hi-fi system.Can... | |
| Mac's BAD MATCH for 802D's? Brianmgrarcom, you diffently made the right choice from the 802D's to the WP7'S. I wholeheartedly agree Dev.You have to try the Mac 501's on your WP7's, you will be in for a surprise.Tell that to my wife! :)I was surprised at the performance of th... | |
| Mac's BAD MATCH for 802D's? Dev, I like the friends you hang around. :)I have had the WP7's since November ('06) and I have only had one other amp setup on them besides the Mac gear and that was a Rowland Concentra II. I don't know if the CII was a bad match or what, but it ... | |
| Mac's BAD MATCH for 802D's? Thanks for replying back Dev, I was wondering what happened to you. It sounds like you all had a good time. No doubt that when you try and introduce many different variables it can leave ones head spinning. | |
| Mac's BAD MATCH for 802D's? That is quite a line up of gear Dev and sounds like a fun time! | |
| Mac's BAD MATCH for 802D's? You will not damage your speakers Larry and you should try it. I am not the foremost expert on this, but having owned N803's and 802D's, McIntosh told me to use the 4 ohm taps with these B&W's.Someone can correct me if wrong, but the advantage... | |
| Mac's BAD MATCH for 802D's? I used a Classe CA2200/CP500 combo, Musical Fidelity kW500 integrated, McIntosh MA2275 and a McIntosh MC402/C46 combo with 802D's and the Mac gear performed the best of all. That said, I wouldn't say it was stellar, I suspect the aforemention 501'... | |
| Mcintosh C220 balanced out Maybe this comparison link from McIntosh will help. | |
| BAT to BAT - What's Best? Heck I give you credit for still having them same gear over 2 years later! | |
| Which $7000 speakers to ask Santa? I agree with the Wilson Sophia recommendation. | |
| What time do you wear? I second Boa's recommendation of TimeZone. | |
| musical fidelity sound? I suppose we could question the meaning of dry; Stereophile has three definitions.dry 1) Describing the texture of reproduced sound: very fine-grained, chalky. 2) Describing an acoustical space: deficient in reverberation or having a very short re... |
