| Anyone heard the Opera Quinta? Thanks! How do these compare to the Sonus Faber Domu Grand Piano? I heard them recently and they sounded very nice. I noticed that the Quinta drivers are made by Seas, so they might be a little bit better "bang for the buck" than the Domus. Not su... | |
| A mistake spending too much on amplification? Thanks for all of the responses. I guess I should clarify what I was saying above: it isn't that there aren't differences in each system or component I swap out, it is I can't really make a quantifiable "upgrade" based on amplification at this poi... | |
| Anyone heard the Aronov LS9100 monoblocks? How would you say that they compared sonically with some other tube amps in this price range (used)? Was the sound accurate with nice frequency extension, or was it overly tubey? I was thinking of paying around $1600 for a set of these Monos-a goo... | |
| Conrad-Johnson MF-2500A or McCormack DNA-125? Okay, thanks! Sounds like I can't go wrong either way-probably depends on the preamp. My speakers will sound good with basically any nice amp, unlike some! | |
| CODA Continuum Unison 3.1? What does the "Ultra" upgrade do for the unit? I couldn't find anything about the upgrade on the website. | |
| Floorstanders for small rooms? Budget $1200 used Interesting-you don't think those 6.3's will be overpowering in my room? That was the primary reason for looking at the 5.3. | |
| GMA Europa vs. Soliloquy 5.3? Thanks for the advice to wait-it makes sense. My local dealer told me "your speakers will totally overpower that room-definitely downsize". I usually trust his judgement, so I went with it. Anyways, another question-how does the VR-2000 compare to... | |
| GMA Europa vs. Soliloquy 5.3? Hi. I have them positioned 3 feet forward of the walls, 6 feet apart, and about 7 feet from listening position, toed-in about 5 degrees. They sound great in my current room (14x16) but that isn't really the issue-I am very worried they will overpo... | |
| Downsizing-Need Integrated Amp Advice I am downsizing because I need to save space-moving to a smaller room and can't have a huge stereo rack out.I have been pretty happy with my system so far, although the preamp hasn't been as impressive as hoped. I have A/B'd it against some cheape... | |
| Paradigm Studio 40 v.2 vs. v.3: sonic difference? Okay, thanks for the input. Currently running a C-J PV10A preamp/MF-2200 amp, so not much need to upgrade there. I am basically looking for a great mini monitor/monitor, or smaller 2-way. I have a small room and my 4-was speakers are overpowering ... | |
| Adcom GFA 535II or 545II/suggestions I owned a GFA555 for several years and it was OK. I traded down to a GFA 545II and recently swapped it out with a B&K Reference 4420. Huge differnece in sound quality on the B&W. Much better midrange, vocals crisper, bass deeper and more r... |
