| Musical Fidelity A3 vs A3.2 Integrated? The 3.2v will tighten up the bass but is a little brighter than A3 but since the Dyn's tend to the dark side (hahahaha) could be a good match depending on your taste. | |
| thoughts on the Music Fidelity CD-Pre at 1,300 Sounded hi-end to me with Revel M20's, but if the CD player dies, then you loose the preamp too. And since CD player technology is still changing probably faster than any other stereo component it will be harder to upgrade.For example, M-F's A3-24... | |
| TAS Total Victory Review The review was for the Eclipse series, not the Victory series. The Victory had the ribbon tweeter. | |
| Need a smaller, efficient floorstander carolinaaudio.com sells a floor standing version using a Jordan single driver. No crossover to absorb power. | |
| under $300 bookshelfs: does excitement exist? Johnnantis here is the site:superelfThey used to be $64.00 + $58 for two cabinets = $122.00I don't know if they have cabinets anymore.I guess the word I was struggling to find was "natural".That is why they have a satisfying sound. You can get a $... | |
| under $300 bookshelfs: does excitement exist? They are better than the Mission speakers that come with the Denon UD-M31 mini-system. On Sade's "Is it a crime" they have outstanding balance between cymbals and sax. The Tang-Band W3-871's are MUCH flatter than any Cain&Cain etc. single driv... | |
| Best overall Speakers for $2,500.00 or less, New? Virgos are ~$7,000 new. B&W 700 series are about $2,500 and very nice. | |
| So I heard some B&W Signature 805s today... Try Focus FS-688's:{url=http://www.soundstage.com/revequip/focusaudio_fs688.htm]Focus FS-688[/url]Or Merlin TSM's. | |
| TAS Total Victory Review The $4,599 Victory with ribbon tweeter was one of only a few speakers (ProAc Future .5's, Merlin VSM-M, ATC active's) that made me question my speaker purchase.Much more detailed, lively and involving than Eclipse series IMHO. I don't know why the... | |
| Help me find it again I agree about changing your speakers. Avanteguarde are emotionally involving but they do have horn colorations and you may not like living with that either.Vienna Acoustics, Aerial Acoustics, or Vandersteen as others have suggested are good altern... | |
| Best Integrated for under $1000 Musical Fidelity A300 150wpc. | |
| Home audio drivers vs. car audio drivers Thanks Sean, the link did not work:http://www.theultimatemonitor.com/default2.htm | |
| Best all around box speaker between 15K and 25K ATC active 100's blow Wilson's away in accuracy, clarity without harshness, and tight musical bass. It's amazing how much bass a speaker rated to 40 REAL hz can produce.They do need to be played fairly loud to "come on song" and they are studio mo... | |
| need more smoothness Linn gear is smooth??? Give me a break. Talk about bright and painful, IMHO. So sure, blame it on B&W.Cellorover, B&W tweeter's resonance is more like 25kHz, not 20. Monitor Audio IS around 19-20kHz.Treat the room, aim the speakers more st... | |
| under $300 bookshelfs: does excitement exist? B&W 600 series 3 is around $300 with dealer discount. Kevlar is a lighter, faster better driver than the 303's carbon fiber. But it depends or listening preference I suppose.I like www.creativesound.ca elf 1.5's for $125/pair. Different but in... |
