| NAD M10 Streaming Integrated I second the Naim Uniti Atom. Or the Naim Uniti Nova will even be better if you could afford it. I myself am a fan of Naim electronics. They are always musically engaging and involving. Naim excel in PRAT but not only that but in all areas IMO. | |
| McIntosh vs. NAD vs. Audio Control Audiotroy Yes the Audio Control Maestro M9 is quite spectacular for movies and is no doubt superior sounding to both the McIntosh MX122 & the NAD M17 v2. It'd be interesting to see how the Maestro M9 would stack up against the Lyngdorf MP-50 &... | |
| Soulution 511 vs. Luxman m900 Both amps are excellent in their own merits and it’s all system dependent. Go listen to both amps in your own setup / system and decide which one would be a better match in your own setup/system. It’s all about system synergy. There’s no such a th... | |
| Used ARC Ref 75 versus new Pass XA 25 versus new Parasound A21+ @bobbydd The Parasound Halo A21+ isn't in the same league as the other two amps you listed above. The other two amps are superior sonically and build quality. But for your setup I think the Parasound Halo A21+ will do it. | |
| McIntosh vs. NAD vs. Audio Control Agreed with Audiotroy. Out of those 3 HT processors listed above I would say the Audio Control Maestro M9 would sound better than the other two processors. | |
| Help with an AV processor @wemfan If you wanna use the Oppo 105 as a preamp surround processor first you will have to set the built-in volume control in the Oppo to variables and make sure you turn down the volume all the way before turning on your Parasound Halo A31 amp. ... | |
| Which stereo amp to try under $30k @mayoradamwest I would avoid class D amp if I were you. If you aren't willing to go monoblocks I would recommend a true dual monoblock configurations or designs in a stereo amp chassis but both left & right channels are preferably in separate ... | |
| Best Integrated, period. D'Agostino Momentum integrated, Vitus, Gryphon Diablo 300, Soulution, CH Precision. | |
| Problem with Marantz SR7012? It is the risk of buying a refurbished item especially electronics. Refurbished speakers are fine but not electronics. | |
| cm10 S2 and Rotel RX-1050 when bi-wired on A and B speakers Rotel overheats easily I wouldn't run the B&W CM10 off an AV receiver and plus your Rotel RX1050 receiver is very old and it's time to upgrade to a new AV receiver if you want to stick with a receiver. Rotel's new current flagship AV receiver the RAP-1580 is phenome... | |
| Which stereo amp to try under $30k The McIntosh amps are pretty good but the ARC (especially their Reference line), Boulder, Luxman, Pass Labs and the D’Agostino amps are leagues ahead and big step up from McIntosh. Ayre Ref will also sound good on your B&W 802 D3.Another amp t... | |
| Which stereo amp to try under $30k Try to find a used pre-owned D’Agostino Momentum stereo power amp that can be had for around $30k or possibly less. D’Agostino Momentum amps will pair really well with a tube preamp especially the ARC Reference linestage preamps. I used to have tw... | |
| Naim Mu-so v2 as Soundbar? Correction : sorry about the mistype. I meant to say that the Naim Muso sounded quite a bit better than any soundbars out there when used for music. | |
| Naim Mu-so v2 as Soundbar? The Naim Muso sounded quite a bit better than any soundboard for music but I had never heard it used for TV viewings though so can't comment. I only heard the Muso for playing music briefly at one small Naim dealer in my town. | |
| Naim Audio system owners - What speakers are you using with Naim? You should actively get on Naim UK based own forum community. I am as well. I'm always on Naim's own community forum (UK based). Not everyone here on Agon love Naim and some here think that Naim isn't for music lovers. I remembered seeing that kin... |
