| Equipment Rack Between Speakers...Good or Bad @mikelavigne I see you have MSB Select ll DAC with two mono powerbases (two separate mono PSU). Just curious, are you running a Femto 33 clock, which is its flagship clock? Spectacular setup/system by the way. I also have MSB Select ll DAC with tw... | |
| What amp is best with Wilson Sasha DAW speakers @avcr79 I was referring to Neoliths being great when used for high end HT application. I have heard the Neoliths in a HT setup and was blown away. | |
| What amp is best with Wilson Sasha DAW speakers The OP is looking for a lush warm mids and sweet highs. The Martin Logan electrostats do not have warm lush mids and sweet smooth highs, they are complete opposite. I've heard various different ML electrostats ranging from their entry level ESL EM... | |
| What amp is best with Wilson Sasha DAW speakers @carey1110 I once had a pair of big Wilson Alexx driven by 2 pairs of D’Agostino Momentum M400 monoblock amps with the ARC (Audio Research) Ref 10 linestage preamp and achieved excellent results. At the time I was using all Transparent Opus cablin... | |
| Amp recommendation for Vandersteen Treo CT @karurravi Just keep your current Luxman 509X integrated amp. | |
| Amp recommendation for Vandersteen Treo CT Naim Uniti Nova will be much better choice than the Uniti Atom. | |
| Home theater help from scratch 5.2 25k budget @wojo79 Since the setup is strictly for surround sound movies or HT I will have to agree with soix about getting good quality active powered speakers system and a very decent or great preamp surround processor. ATC & Meridian makes pretty awes... | |
| Amp recommendation for Vandersteen Treo CT @karurravi What happened to your Luxman 509X integrated amp? Why are you getting rid of it? Your Luxman 509X is a very refined integrated amp. Did it break? I would think that your Luxman 509X will be superior sounding to the above integrateds tha... | |
| Does my setup need a phono stage? @andrewkelley You will usually be better off with a good quality standalone phonostage pre for your turntable. There are countless options out there. Cary and Rogue make pretty good phonostage pre for the money. | |
| Luxman L-509x for B&W 803 D3 @thyname Oh...that's right. I forgot that you are currently using an integrated amp. How's your MSB Discrete DAC? I'm also an owner of MSB DAC. I'm currently using an MSB Select ll DAC with its flagship Femto 33 clock and two separate mono powerba... | |
| FM Acoustics vs CH Precision I forgot about T&A. They are nothing short of spectacular and I suggest you look hard for them. They are very musically involving & engaging. They are probably more affordable than the CH Precision and all the other ones that I recommended... | |
| Luxman L-509x for B&W 803 D3 @thyname What is your preamp and front end source component(s)? McIntosh, Classe, Naim separates (500 series models) usually pair well with B&W (especially the 800 series D3). I think Pass would be fine too although I’ve never heard them paire... | |
| FM Acoustics vs CH Precision @luk71 Go with CH Precision. What are your speakers and source components (turntable/phonostage, DAC, streamer/DAC, CD/SACD player)? Which CH models and FM models are you considering? Be a little more specific.When I was auditioning the Magico M6 ... | |
| McIntosh MX121 vs. MX119 for 2-channel If you guys aren't doing surrounds (multi-channels) why did you guys go with HT preamp surround processors to begin with? Cause both the MX119 & MX121 are HT preamp processors? You should get very good quality stereo integrated amp if only doi... | |
| SET amplifier recommendation B&W, especially the 800 Diamond series, aren't compatible with low output tube amps. They need to be pushed harder in order to shine. Unless if you can find a high current tube amps from say ARC or McIntosh and the likes but those high current... |
