| Best powered mini monitors w/out sub Here are some Swans. May not fit in your suitcase.http://www.av123.com/diva_m200.shtml | |
| Am I the only one who thinks B&W is mid-fi? Twl, so what is better than B&W? I agreed about the "blanket over the speaker veiling". What speakers can you recommend that are clearer but still play music, not just notes?I'm always searching, thanks for the help. | |
| Should mags review stuff not easily available Hi Unsound. I agree with your point. Without competition there is no reason for the big companies to work harder.But an example for me is a single driver speaker I found. I would like to hear it but then I get deterred from the concept when compar... | |
| Do HDCDs sound terrible on non HDCD players? HDCD is supposed to have a lower noise floor - that is what I was told. So HDCD encoding give a lower noise floor. I'm thinking they should sound better on all machines since generally they are better quality recordings to begin with. | |
| amp/preamp fit with Revel I've heard Revel with Musical Fidelity and it had a similar sound to the Levinson stuff. Very enjoyable. | |
| Speaker recommendation for Rega Mira How about B&W CDM 1 nt or DM 602 series 3? | |
| Best small monitor speaker 4 small room acoustics? Revel puts a lot of effort designing out first wall reflections etc. So they tend to more design out speaker / room interactions that can happen with other speakers. But you may not like their sound. | |
| Nautilus owners upgrade to what? Hi, I heard the Revel F20 and Aerius 6's.I agree, the Aerials are smoother, "warmer" than B&W. They lacked detail and dynamics for my tastes.The Revels were much clearer than B&W. Their lit. says their drivers reduce 2nd and 3rd order harm... | |

| Does anyone have any impressions of Montana Spkrs? Ehider, interesting link. But no prices. How do you know they are WAAAAAAAY underpriced?Are they even available in USA? | |
| Some thoughts about value in high-end audio You can buy a pretty nice appliance for $400. A really nice Neptune washer for $1,000 (?). A huge 3 ft x 6 ft TV at Tweeters Etc. for $2,000. A leather couch for $1,500.What does $400 get in audio? A VERY entry level floorstanding speaker. Just on... | |
| Class A/B switching cause sonic problems? Hi Bob. I guess I'm not totally clear on A/B amps. So you're saying the amp will switch even even I kept volume levels low so not to go above 1 watt output on the power amp? Aren't these amps supposed to put out class "A" for the first watt? Then ... | |
| How does one get off the merry-go-round? I am FAR from being off the merry go round but anyhow..... * KNOW WHAT YOU WANT **If you aren't sure what you want how will know when you've found it? If there is something blantantly wrong in your current setup then there's an obvious fix.I want ... | |
| Best Inexpensive Tuner? I asked Don Scott exactly what he does when he mods tuners and / or for spec's (Sensitivty, Selectivity etc.).Never got a response. Maybe he's too busy.But I would want to know exactly what measured improvements to expect before paying out money. | |
| Best sound at Stereophile show. What was wrong with Thiel / Musical Fidelity??Not on anyone's list at all. I thought it was really good for the price. Von Schweikert was good but pricey and lacked weight - not noticeable in small room with 5 speakrs though.Joseph's $20K was good... |
