| Speaker wire size VS speaker size. Should bigger speakers use bigger wires? Based on what I read, wire size selection should be based on how low in impedance the speaker system goes.. My totem hawks are more listenable (more punchy bass) with belden 10awg than with kimber 4pr 14awg. The opposite is true with my wharfedal... | |
| Vandersteen 1ci vs Totem Arro Because it 's hard if not impossible to find the right compromise with speakers, I keep 2-3 pairs on hand, so when I get tired of a signature sound, I swap, and it never gets old... | |
| Warm, rich sounding interconnects? Blue Jean LC-1. | |
| Stay away from the nad yes, tons of refurbished at various dealers - nad is going to end up like adcom. | |
| bookshelf speaker recommendation with Creek & Arcam I second Rega bookshelves - incredible clear midrange, but no impactful bass. I have had the rs5 in the past.I don't know about the creek integrated - but if you like warmer speakers or you think the creek would be best with such speakers, I can r... | |
| Speaker cable recommendations with Magnepan .7s With low impedance, you need fat cable like the belden 5t00up. Exotic cable with $200? Kimber 8VS.... fat with lower inductance. | |
| Stay away from the nad Same here with a 315bee integrated. Good sound for the money, but built with components so cheap and assembled so badly that it did not last much longer than a year. The entire pre-amp was totally shorted, inputs, volume control, etc... in a mor... | |
| Jena Labs cables simply amazing!! What makes it amazing? | |
| 2017 Honest Cabling that doesn’t promote bankruptcy BElden 5t00up. I just plugged it back in my totem hawk a few hours ago. Compared to the kimber 4pr they just replaced, they are incredible! So much more transparent, better soundstage, it makes the speakers sound forward. Now, for unknown reas... | |
| Vandersteen 2Ci - Bi-wire cable question Some say that bi-wiring is advantageous when large woofers are involved... the 2CEs have a 10" woofer + a 10" passive as I recall... that calls for at least trying..I have had the vandersteen sig for a couple years.. wonderful speakers, but too WI... | |
| Integrated Amp Upgrade-itis hitting.... Gabby, thanks for feedback! How is the volume control? Solidly built, smooth progression? | |
| Integrated Amp Upgrade-itis hitting.... No one has suggested the Moon neo 250i integrated or higher.... is there something wrong with Simaudio? I am asking because beernut has transmitted his upgrade-itis...I have had the Marantz 8400 for more than 5 years now. It runs almost 24/7, it... | |
| Looking for input: Best material for mid range cone I have owned rega rs5, which utilize paper cone for both midrange (5") and woofers (7"). The midrange on these speakers was outstanding - natural and transparent, it is really their big selling point. I have never got the same with kevlar (B&... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Don't class D amps built to play only digital inputs (one conversion) and not analogue inputs? | |
| Acoustic panels Lol... good catch.. |
