| tubes with thiel, meadowlark or revel From the speakers on your list I would choose the Kestrel 2's.I have been a big fan of the Meadowlarks owning Kestrel HR's , Shearwater HR's and Kestrel 2's. I also enjoyed a pair of Audio Physic Virgo II's and didn't enjoy a pair of Virgo III's.I... | |
| Musical Fidelity X-10D You would still be able to use the x10D in the same way and it would have a similar effect. You'll just need to do some listening and hear whether You like it in or out of the system | |
| Wayne Shorter Quartet Live WOW I heard them at the Berklee Performance Center in Boston and was also amazed. What an incredible level of interplay. | |
| Change Amp or go Integrated You are only going to get so far with those PSB Bronze speakers. They are pretty loose on the bass end and the highs are pretyy raggedy. I think that for the money you can get a nice integrated. I would go for tubes.I would really spend some time ... | |
| Recommend speakers for a strange move Take a look at the www.carolinaaudio.com JTM's They are amazing speakers. You can also see them in my system page here on Audiogon. | |
| Base for Audio Physic Virgos The Symposium Svelte Shelves make a huge improvement on this speaker. Reall helping to eliminate most of the midbass hump and the resulting congestion in the lower midrange. Really a must sudition with this speaker. | |
| Need help upgrading speakers........ I had the Virgo II and III's. The II's are a great all time speaker but they do lack a little in bass extension and are a little wolly there with the midbass hump....saying that I really did enjoy them and they certainly are a nice upgrade from th... | |
| Which tube friendly speaker? I have had the Kestral 1 HR's with a Rogue Tempest and that was very good. I prefer the Kestrel on 1 over the 2 in temrs of coherence. The Kestrel is definately a little laid back and lacks tranparency.... but it really is one of my all time favou... | |
| Best Speakers for Musical Fidelity TriVista? If you get a Transmission line speaker you can actually get a more accurate and deep bass with much less bloat and coloration than in many of the monitor speakers. With ported speakers the port is tuned to a frequency which it reinforces. Bad ones... | |
| CDP w/Tube output stage works as Tube preamp ? Dan Wright over at www.modwright.com has some options I believe. That is a very good idea for the 370 ! | |
| Suggestions for a monitor speaker I have a great suggestion for you and I hope that you don't shy away from them because they are such a great deal at $1500. The Carolina Audio JSM's using the Jordan full range driver in a transmission line cabinet. With no crossover and extremely... | |
| How do Fidelios "Rank" against Virgo 3 and RX-20? I have heard the Verity Parsifals.... Very, very nice. I had a set at home for a day. I volunteered to be the midway point for a pickup of a friends sale. They are very nice... they sounded better though when I heard them demoed using a Tact room ... | |
| Biggest value for the Dollar? My www.carolinaaudio.com JTM speakers with the full range Jordan's give me the some of the best sound I have ever heard for $1500. Unbelievable ! | |
| Shure V15VMXR compatible with Scott 299B? The scott is a great amp... I have the 299(a) Your cartridge will work fine with your amp. My amp is stock also except for a fancy new power cord which was a nice upgrade. I did recently have to replace one of the main filter caps but everything e... | |
| Do SACD player start up slower Many of the sacd drives do take some time to read the toc and recognize if the disc is a cd or sacd... Many of the newer models are much faster than the 30-45 seconds... sounds like the Sony scd1/777es transport that was so slow. I had a Sony 9000... |
