| Spendor and Tubes I'm glad you're happy with your sound, but if driven right, why would you need a sub with the sp-100s? I've never thought they needed a sub if driven with the right amp. | |
| Looking at the Audio Research DS450 - once again It's a delightful amp with the right speaker, and agree with one of the aboves, extremely nice with the LS-27....I do disagree with the above poster, the TNT and wonderful Acoustat 3's were made together, hence their synergy. The speakers wouldn't... | |
| Piano Notes On Harbeth SHL 5 Nice theories....back to the Harbeth 5's. They can be extremely tight on the low end and produce a piano gorgeously....it all depends on what gear you have them paired with, what stands they are, and what room they're in, and even cabling...to say... | |
| Best Speakers at RMAF 2011...? Apparently the best, or one of, by all who's ears I trust, was the Western Ekectrics in the Silbatone room, although not for sale... Vintage 1947... Think about that.. | |
| About synergy? Not to derail the thread completely.... But I tend to agree with many postings on here, about being uninformed. And just plain crazy.Hang out with some hobbyists at a shop sometime-- it will floor you what can come out of their mouths...I've been ... | |
| Totem and Bel Canto? Have no fear, the naim 5i will play those totems very loud, What is also great with them is the Naim unitiqute, which has a built in DAC, but it's out of your price range... | |
| About synergy? Around these parts we use synergy to describe what you have, as all pieces in a system working together for a harmonious fit. Such as a speaker and amp working together (synergy) or that combo working well in a particular room ( synergy) or a cart... | |
| Totem and Bel Canto? Now that combo I love and adore.Naim and most Totems go well together... Very well. | |
| Totem and Bel Canto? I hate the bel canto with totems... There, it must be said...Bel Canto is not great musically. The Totems are. | |
| Luxman-McIntosh CD Players Thanks for posting. That was my point. The OP wanted opinions. No egos or other opinions were meant to be sullied. My friend had one, we compared it in different systems, rooms, against less expensive players such as Naim cd5 and Rega Apollo, and ... | |
| Luxman-McIntosh CD Players Sorry. Didn't mean to post anything even close to an absolute. The OP asked for opinions. I would love to listen with those of you who like this player. Maybe someday some teletransporter can achieve that. Until then, enjoy without me. | |
| Luxman-McIntosh CD Players Correction. I am not blasting Mcintosh. I am blasting the Mcintosh cd player I heard. It was boring. The guy's tuner was more musical. Very true, we each have different tastes, but that box cannot convey a musical moment, I don't care who's room o... | |
| Luxman-McIntosh CD Players HI Bob, quite a few.....I should have given a better description of what I heard, sorry for that.What I did hear truly amazed me.... The MDC500 basically robs the music of any life. Every time we listened, everyone sat there, and then when we'd sw... | |
| Luxman-McIntosh CD Players The McIntosh is a big pile of you know what.....but hey, they don't do digital....I think the internals are all from Denon or Pioneer....it was easily trounced by so many players half its price.....it's a dumpster piece if i ever heard one.... | |
| AR EB101 with Grado Sig 8 Won't it hum with the Grado? when the reissue tables came out, you couldn't use grados or it would hum...non shielding of grados being the issue....that's why so many of us used things like Shures or Promethean Greens (reworked grados) so we could... |
