| W4S SX-500 vs. new mAmp? I have to buy another pair of monoblocks for a tri-amp application here very soon. Has anyone done an actual A/B comparison of the mAmp vs Ncore? mAmps are superb. Probably will not want to mix brands for the mid and high frequencies anyway but ju... | |
| Thinking About A Change Instead of playing the same old game, maybe look at speakers that leverage new technology? Spatial Computer or Emerald Physics for example. I think Legacy does so as well using active crossovers. Go to some shows if possible. | |
| Amplifier with the best Bass? Get two pair of the Wyred4Sound Mamps. You will be good to go. | |
| Cap upgrade for Paradigm Signature S2 v2? Before you do that you may want to try a pair of Spatial Computers Velocity Bridge 1 (VB1). I have the Signature S8's V1 and the improvements the VB1 made in my case are phenomenal. | |
| Spatial Computer Velocity Bridge VB1 I was referring to Spatial Computer, not ARC. | |
| Spatial Computer Velocity Bridge VB1 That's a real bummer. Do you have another amp to try just to help narrow down root cause? If not then the manufacturer should step in and help identify the issue. | |
| Spatial Computer Velocity Bridge VB1 Wow. The exact polar opposite of my experience. Mine were somewhat dull sounding at the beginning and I'm using solid state amps. Clayton's new line of speakers have Beryllium drivers. You would think if there was a problem with these types of dri... | |
| Spatial Computer Velocity Bridge VB1 With this product being so new the jury hasn't even convened yet let along made a decision. I suppose their effectiveness will vary depending how severe high frequency ringing exists in a given speaker and the amount of RF/EMI in its environment. ... | |
| Spatial Computer Velocity Bridge VB1 Good deal. Looking forward to hearing about their impact on the Paradigms with the Beryllium drivers. You really have nothing to lose given the money-back guarantee. | |
| Best Audio Electronics for Paradigm S8v3 Speakers You are correct. I have the S8's V1. A speaker I really don't like. Long story as my home was burglarized last year and had to pull them out of retirement. The VB1's transform them into a fairly enjoyable speaker. | |
| Spatial Computer Velocity Bridge VB1 You know what's really interesting about this product is where(from a system and component perspective) they implement the VB's. Right on the speaker cable terminals. No other product I'm aware of leverages this approach. There are other devices t... | |
| Rotel 1090 It will be interesting to see their next iteration of this product line. The monoblock configuration is desirable for the utmost in channel separation. Obviously there is a price to be paid for this configuration. Hopefully any new stereo or multi... | |
| Rotel 1090 The new W4S Mamp monoblocks have been out for almost a year. The are great amps - especially for the price. super transparent with outstanding bass. I had the 1090 quite a few years ago. No comparison IMHO. | |
| Spatial Computer Velocity Bridge VB1 I have and they are really something special. I don't think you will use the word tweak to categorize them for very long. They do take time to break in. In my case 50 hours for the first milestone and about 125 to reach their full potential. The i... | |
| Best Audio Electronics for Paradigm S8v3 Speakers BifwynneThe VB1 is really a special product. Check out their web site for the details at spatialcomputer.com. Essentially they reduce noise (RF and EMI) and flatten the impedance curve between drives and speaker cable. The results in my case have ... |
