| New Pre/Pro for 2 ch guy? (+How easy to set up RC in top units like Lyngdorf, etc)? I use a Classe Sigma SSP, and it has digital bypass so I don’t have to have an analog signal converted to digital. They are out of production now and can be found at very discounted prices. It does have manual PEQ. I also have McIntosh 611’s, and ... | |
| Lumin T2 with Anthem STR preamp signal going through both DACs? I use the Classe for sub woofers and 5.1 Blu-ray concerts and music. | |
| Lumin T2 with Anthem STR preamp signal going through both DACs? Nice. I had the same issue with my Lumin T2 and my Classe Sigma SSP DAC. I did not like the idea of music going through 2 different DAC’s. However, I still have the Lumin, but I set the Classe in digital bypass mode, thereby using only the Lum... | |
| Lumin T2 with Anthem STR preamp signal going through both DACs? Dtximages, I know this an old thread, but I am curious if you returned the Lumin. If so, what are you using now? | |
| Luxman M-900U in bridged mono or McIntosh MC1.25kw with B&W 800 D3 I know this is not exactly what you are looking for, but I have McIntosh MC 611’s driving B&W 802D’3. One step down from you. I previously had a Classe 2300, which is a very good stereo amp. I found the McIntosh to sound slightly on the warmer... | |
| B&W 800D3 paired with McIntosh MC1.25k The 611’S also have 48% more headroom than the 601’s. I have only had the amps for about 4 months, but they drive the 802D3’s with ease. I crank it pretty loud at times and have never had the red light flicker. For your 800D3’s, I would recommend ... | |
| B&W 800D3 paired with McIntosh MC1.25k Not quite the same, but I am running 802d3’s with Mac 611’s. Warm overall signature, with very good detail, and dynamic, I am sure your 800D3’s would love the extra power. Awesome combo. | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer Could you elaborate on the Mac pieces you did not like? What preamp are you now using? | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer McIntosh has just announced the replacement of the MA 8900 with the MA 8950. The new model has 50% greater dynamic headroom, similar to what they have done with their other newer models such as the MC462, MC611 and the MC 1.25. I would be curious ... | |
| Hegel H590 with BW 800D I was using a Classe 2300, which is a stereo amp providing 300 watts per Channel at 8 ohms, and 600 at 4 ohms. It drove my B&W 803D3’s fine. | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer Agree. Nice post. | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer I don’t get the McIntosh hate. I recently went from a Classe 2300 to McIntosh 611’s and I am very happy. I can’t understand why people say McIntosh sounds flat, or like someone put a wet blanket over their speakers. For me I get a warm, dynamic, s... | |
| Share MYSTICAL, HAUNTING songs I cheat the hangman, the Doobie Brothers. | |
| How many SACD / Blu-ray audio / DVD audio / etc do you own? I have about 75 blu ray concerts and many hi resolution blu ray albums such as the Beatles, John Lennon, George Harrison, REM, and many other remixed albums. I wish I could find more blu ray concerts, but it seems not as many are released as in ye... | |
| Lumin T2 burn in time? Agree with the above. I initially thought I made a mistake buying the T2 2 years ago. Although detailed, It sounded a little bright with thin bass. After a couple of months it smoothed out and gives me great sound. I am very happy with it. I ... |
