| is a subwoofer for music a good idea?? Get the best used sub you can for that price. Try it for a couple of months. If you don't like the level of quality it provides sell it and keep saving your money for a better one. But the answer to the question of whether or not to get one is a s... | |
| Krell KAV 250 vs. Proceed HPA-2 I have compared the two and concluded the HPA-2 was more refined and communicated the nuances of the musical details more effectively. Don't get me wrong, I liked the KAV 250. I liked the sense of authority it gave to the music and, of course, the... | |
| $600 cd player with balanced output Used Classe or Theta have good balanced designs and are a step above several units listed above. IMHO | |
| Krell FPB differences My personal Krell evolution. KAV300i to KAV250a to Long auditions with the FPB 200 & 300, to finally purchasing the 200c and after a year upgrading to 300cx. Conclusions;1. The cx version is more open and musical.2. The first generation FPB wa... | |
| I need some suggestions for some new speakers... Used Thiel cs1.5 for $800 + used $400 subwoofer. Killer for a small room and decent upstream components. Will not sound good with poor source electronics. | |
| Bryston 4BSST, or 7BST's w/B&W M802SIII's? Another vote for the 7BST's. | |
| Anyone tried using a sub on BW Nautilus 802s I have always used a sub with my N802's. My power is the Krell 300cx and biwired with Transparent reference cables. My sub is a 12" Velodyne. I have always liked that little extra bottom end you get from a sub when and if you need it. (I know this... | |
| Best upper end CD player with digital inputs Rlkern, If you are really interested in the Opus, I would simply call Jeff Kalt at RA and ask if it can be retro'd for you. | |
| Which amplifier to drive B&W Nautilus 802? I have had N802s for 4 years. I have tried several Krell amps with them. I have found, the more power to them, the better. If you can make bi-amping work, do it. If not, bi-wire them. I wish I could afford more power to them but I cannot. So, righ... | |
| Best upper end CD player with digital inputs resolution audio Opus 21. I don't know if it's "the best", but in my listening comparisons, it was the best for that kind of money ($3,000). | |
| Thiel 1.5's vs, 2.2's? Any thoughts? Good analysis Zaikesman. I totally agree with your placement suggestions. I owned the 1.5s for years. I ran a sub and would recommend the same. | |
| Krell FPB 300cx enough to drive B&W Nautilus 801? I have the 300cx driving the 802N. I would first put the extra money into biwiring and then go from there. | |
| Which is best sub for N802 in fairly large room? I've been living with my N802 speakers for long enough to experiment with various amps, wires and subs. I now run a Velodyne sub, Krell 300cx amp and bi-wire with Transparent Reference cable. I know this is not a direct answer to your question abo... | |
| Musical Fidelity A3 or Krell KAV-300i I cannot compare the two, however I owned the 300i a couple of years before upgrading. Some people on the 'gon do not like its sonics but I loved them. It has excellent power and punch for an integrated and it is very open and revealing. I ran The... | |
| Good cd player and a great DAC or great cd player? Upgrading from a $1k system to $20k system is a big step. Unless you inherit some money, you may not want to go from your former CD changer to a $2.5k CD player (or separates) simply because until you upgrade some of the other components, you will... |
