Shanling T100 to the T200 shootout
It seems like many of the high-end SACD player are 2 channel. Currently I'm looking for a play for my 2 channel CJ based system so the lack of multi channel is not an issue. In my mind it is hard (and expensive) enough to put together a really nic... 
Shanling T100 to the T200 shootout
I did not realise these have been selling poorly.. My local dealer said the T100 has been discontinued, hence the good price. One thing this has convinced me of is that the average consumer will never buy SACD just for better 2 channel audio. IMHO... 
Is SACD winning over DVD-A?
For multi channel the verdict is still out, but for 2 channel I think SACD is winning for me.. I just picked up a few hybrid discs to conduct my search for a SACD player. I'm still trying to decide if SACD is worthwhile for 2 channel over a good r... 
Good Inwall Speakers
I have some Snell AMC700 and AMC650r. They really sound great are are specifically designed for the coloration introduced by being placed in the wall. The featues a tweeter lens that allows you to conrol the radiation pattern (works well). The 700... 
Is SACD winning over DVD-A?
When I've done a A/B test of 2 ch SACD vs a good multi channel I did think the multi sounded better.. it was just not memorable. It was a classical recording where they basically just added some hall ambience to the recording. The front sound stan... 
Is SACD winning over DVD-A?
So maybe to take this to another aspect... is SACD really worth it of 2 channel? I have 2 differnt systems 1 tube base 2 channel... the room will not allow for a proper multi channel. And another set up for HT with a very good 7.1 setup... This fa... 
Best small speaker
I'm looking for the same thing ... top of my list is the DynAudio S1.4 and B&W signature 805. The totem mani was nice as well just not memorable... I really wanted to like the Thiel PSC.. not bad but not great. The Proac 1SC are really nice (I... 
Just heard DynAudio S 1.4.. imagus maximus
2800... 700 less than the 1.3SE... what a bargain..ouch 
Are B&W 805 sig the best imaging monitors ?
At this stage I'll give anything a listen.. Do you have a pointer ? I could not find anything on the web. 
Are B&W 805 sig the best imaging monitors ?
Did you compair the sig 805 to the non sig 805 ? At first I thought the difference was due to the physical contruction issues of having the tweeter on the top of the box. It seemed like the non-sig didn't even come close but I did not have time to... 
thoughts on Theil PCS with a sub
I've listened to 1.6s and really like them but I'm looking for more bass and a little richer mids... 
Are Isoberic Subs any good such as James 10SX?
I think you are talking about the EMB-1000... the one with the metal passive radiator. The model I'm talking about has just a 4" port exposed with two internal woofers.Bruce 
Speakers to hang on to for LIFE
I will hang onto my Proac Super Tabs.. I've had these for maybe 15 yrs. This was some of the best 500 I ever spent. I'm looking for speakers right now and I will find another use for the proacs. I recently upgraded to CJ tube gear and they sound g... 
Why so little discussion about Snell ?
I think you are right about this being an effect of the Boston acquisition. I would have thought that the effect would have been just the opposite... Boston marketing the hell out of them as the "renowned old school high end speaker company" and t... 
ProAc Tablette Reference Eight Signature
From the description it sounds like the signature version of the ref 8 is quite a bit different than the non-sig. I'm wondering if these will have similar qualities to the sig 50? They have a new woofer design with rare earth neodymium bar magnets...
