| Amps for B&W 805 Diamond: Rogue Audio or Krell, Pass labs, ML, Accuphase I have owned both a Mc MA252 and currently a MA 352 in which I have used with a pair of Bowers 805S models and they seem like the perfect match in both tonality and detail. Right now for fun I’m running my MA352 with a pair of Klipsch Heresy IV’s ... | |
| B&W 705 Signature Feedback ? I have a Rotel RA1570 running a pair of B&W 805S’s in my den system and the synergy is pretty good. I have also ran my Rotel with my B&W 705 S2 and found the sound to be just a tad bright but still very detailed and full sounding. I’m sure... | |
| B&W New Diamond Series? I just saw the new D4 price list. They are a big jump from the D3 prices. The 805 model are now 8k vs 6k for the current D3’s. | |
| Buying used: how old is too old? I think it all depends on brand, condition and where they were used. Six months ago I picked up a pair of 2005 B&W 805’s that were traded in to my dealer. They have the original boxes, jumpers and are consecutive numbers. They were in perfect ... | |
| Looking for a DAC under 2k I have a Pro-Ject Dac Box RS, and it has been an excellent Dac. Its tube and solid state and they run $1100. I’ve had it for 4 years, and other than just having to replace the tubes for the first time, it been very reliable and the sound is awesom... | |
| Where are the young audiophiles? I have found that the under 40 folks just do not get excited about high end audio or the hobby as to many of them they consider it boring to sit down with the purpose of just listening. I have a nephew who is in his late 30’s, and while he likes m... | |
| Another Node2i Question Thanks for everybody’s response. You have all given me some good ideas to extend my WiFi network. | |
| Another Node2i Question Lowrider, thanks. That 50mbps is being used on many other devices. Besides my Sonos mesh, my internet controls our lights and many devices like iPhones, pads, a laptop. My place is only 1600ft in a high rise. I will google the model number of the ... | |
| Another Node2i Question Low rider , as far as ghz I’m not sure. My U-verse powers three wireless,cable boxes , plus my Sonos mesh network. My highest U-verse offering is MBPs is 50. Sorry to others as I am not very knowledgeable when it comes to networking. | |
| McIntosh Last year I had my MA252 in an authorized McIntosh service center as my PCM display went out. It took many calls to find out what was going on, to end up finding that McIntosh was waiting on the part to come in from China as the part manufacturing... | |
| Older B&w 805 (N or S) vs new 705 S3 I have a set of 705 S2’s and a set of 805S and I’m powering them with a McIntosh MA352, and I have found a couple of differences between the two. The current 705 S2 are very well made and the fit and finish are beautiful. Sound wise I found them t... | |
| My MA252 saga Congratulations on your MA252. I bought a 252 a few months after they came out. I previously had McIntosh separate’s that I got rid of due to a move and the need for space. I ran my 252 with a set of Bowers 705 S2 and it was really a great set up.... | |
| Full circle and thinking about speakers I like this topic as I too live in a condo and trying to get the sound dialed in has been an issue. When I owned a home, I had a dedicated listening room that was fairly treated, and I was running Magnepan 1.7 powered by a McIntosh MC2600 and C220... |
