| Monitor Audio GR 10 What are your tastes? B&W => M20 => G10 in order of forward / bright / crisp /clean sound would be how I describe.Could also try Spendor and ATC active 10's which are the warmer English sound but still detailed and natural. JM Reynaud wo... | |
| I can't really hear a big difference Dennis, have you tried Meridian 508.24 or Cary 303/100? | |
| Do you own/have you heard the new Thiel 1.6? Jim Thiel gave IN to public demand on brightness without giving AWAY what makes Thiel speakers Thiels - my opinion. If only he could do this with his 2.3's and maybe I'd switch from B&W.I heard 1.6 with Creek CD53 and 5350 SE and sound was ver... | |
| Talon Khorus x or B&W 802 I put very little value in a review that says a product has no faults. Either the person won't own up or has a hearing problem. | |

| Interesting link on hifi stuff (2) Sean how did you post the link? I like it. I don't know what to think about audio myths, it would be good to hear with / without Black gate caps but not easy to do. | |

| Opinions on McIntosh CD Players? Try the McIntosh DVD player. It won't play CDR's but for the price of something like $2,800 sound was quite good. Unfortunately I couldn't compare side by side to Cary or Meridian but I will risk saying it's in the same league as it was a good bum... | |
| Onix A-120, opinions People have described the Onix as bright SS sound. Creek would be more neutral. Why not try the SEARCH function at the discussion's main heading for more info? | |

So you could try any 20th Century remasters.I agree about old Genesis CD's. But I've heard the Supernatural CD complaint before. Someone said it had a lot of com... | |
