| Siltech 330L or 770L? 01-07-13: Rfogel8If you can spring for the extra $$, I'd definitely go with the 770L. The 330L and 770L are essentially the same design but the 770L has many more conductors and will add a lot more power and weight to the music. It will also flesh... | |
| Tannoy Westminster amp matching question. Charles1dad,We have a somewhat similar perspective as to what generally constitute and of upmost importance in music reproductions. Actually hardly ever listen to those aforementioned test tracks etc, except during test sessions/gatherings with fe... | |
| Tannoy Westminster amp matching question. Not to debate as to which approach is best. Just thought of sharing my real living experience with them. I supposed one's listening habit - type of music, genres, loudness - do play an important role here too.Sold my Ongaku to a close friend using... | |
| Tannoy Westminster amp matching question. Lived with the Westminster and Westminster Royal for almost 10yrs straight ('91-'00). Tried/owned countless tube amps ranging from flea watts Ongaku, Audion, few Carys, few Jadises, many many VTLs (right through their 200w triode double decker Ich... | |
| Magico V3 with tubed amplification, will it work ? I had the Mini2, and later V3 (ar.4yrs in total with both). Cut story short, my brother ultimately loved how V3s sounded in my room driven alternately by FMA (250w) or Soulution (110w @8ohms) that he decided to take it off me. Even though his room... | |
| Big, big room -- which 10-20k speakers? Further down the path after living with Tannoys, I subsequently had (2-3yrs with each) - ProAc Response 4 - ML Prodigy - MG 20.1--drove them using FMA611/ARC REF600 MKIII + REF3 + dCS stack.While the MG20.1 had some beautiful natural room filling ... | |
| Big, big room -- which 10-20k speakers? +1 Atmasphere..Exact same reasons I named big Tannoys.Avoiding complication to system, and staying within stated budget (used). | |
| Big, big room -- which 10-20k speakers? Alex2, Anat3 Sig @10-20k?? (even used?) | |
| Big, big room -- which 10-20k speakers? And oh.. Btw I'm quite familiar with the Wilson Sasha, my brother owns and currently use them in an all ARC system. I don't think they would cut it in a room that size. Possibly if your ceiling is the norm 9-11', otherwise, as others here have sug... | |
| Big, big room -- which 10-20k speakers? Another good candidate to look at would be Tannoy larger Prestige line. Probably Westminster or better still the Westminster Royal SE. Had them for years in a room almost as large, driven by Cary 300SE (15w), then later Cary CAD805 (50w), filled t... | |
| Adding Tone Controls? Bad recordings should sound, well.. bad, played through an honest system. If its tailored to sound acceptable or good reproducing them, then a compromise or two must have been made somewhere to compensate this system's fidelity ie. system is suppr... | |
| Adding Tone Controls? Overall, I'm in line with your thinking that one should always design a system around best of recordings. And once you are there, not to have them later compromised by tweaking to accommodate those less than stellar ones--because then, we will be ... | |
| Adding Tone Controls? Bama, I could relate to your issue well.*I'd like to add..The need for one (tone controls)--I suppose also largely depending on the extent of genres and diversity of ones' music collection. Besides jazz--classical, r&b, pops, disco, reggae, tr... | |
| Adding Tone Controls? To correct/tame less than stellar (bad) recordings, tone control of some sort is needed. Whether it be in the form of simple bass/treble ones, digital correction, equalizer, or linearizer. I would avoid using cable as band-aids, as then you'll nee... | |
