| AV Receiver good enough for high end audio? Hifihvn, would you consider a receiver clipping out at 276 wpc "choking out?" I don't. The Pioneer's, Denon's, and whatever else you cited earlier all "choke out" far before that, nor would I think they'd be anywhere as musical a receiver as the S... | |
| Designer Hall of Fame Sebrof - Any designer that can produce a product that produces 'the goods' as the two products I've mentioned definitely gets my vote - for the bottom line is what does it sound like? The two products I've cited deserve mentioning if for nothing o... | |
| AV Receiver good enough for high end audio? Actually it was ML's. I'm stating the facts as I know them from personal experience, rather than making assumptions based upon a closed mind, or in the very least someone else's experience. Those are the facts as I know them. | |
| AV Receiver good enough for high end audio? It hardly chokes, for your ears would give out long before the amplifiers. The Ultimate drove 7 electrostats, which was no easy task, with ease. Even your reviewer measurement emphasized how superior it was into 2 channels. These amps really do pr... | |
| Music to die to Deodato's 'Pavane for a dead princess', or Jim Hall's 'Concierto de Aranjuez' which some have dubbed as quite possibly the finest piece of music ever written.I wonder if anyone here has ever listened to either one of these pieces? | |
| Most sophisticated and intelligent musician Keith Jarrett, without a doubt, he's the most intelligent musician that ever lived. Who else on the list can play classical equally as well as jazz? The man's a genius, but he's often moody...but then again reportedly so was Beethoven! | |
| Class D vs Class A Education "And we are all originally from African continent; you know that,right?"You go Inna, but be careful for you might want to whisper that whilst traveling through certain parts of the country! | |
| Shuguang Treasure tubes.... I'm using a Grant Fidelity 3400 300B integrated with Shuguang Black Treasure 300B's in a secondary system driving a pair of Cain & Cain Abby's. Why is this not my primary system? Well, I'd need more gusto to drive CLS iiz's, but make no mistak... | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE A recently acquired pair of CLS iiz's, in satin black, one of the final pairs ever produced by ML in '01 when ML was still the ML we all knew. I've come full circle since its been 10 years since owning my last pair. And having now experimented wit... | |
| Best way to categorize your Vinyl collection Collecting dust at the moment, since recently having sold off two TT's and cartridges while on the lurk for the next TT....but I've new toyz to keep me busy in the meantime...speakers and a new jazz guitar...what a way to wait! | |
| Best 300B Well here's yet another 'nother vote for the Shuguang Black Treasure 300B's.These black powder marvels transformed a modest Grant Fidelity 3400 SET integ into a giant killer. The thing produces all of 8 watts Class A yet it drove a pair of Martin ... | |
| Designer Hall of Fame I'd nominate any of the builders of Chinese built products that perform way above their market value, i.e., Prima Luna, or the Grant Fidelity 3400B SET integ...toss in a pair of Shuguang Treasure black 300B's into the GF and it will compete with v... | |
| Carver Power Amps The Carver Lightstar Reference series amps that retailed for $4k each were the real deal. They were A/B'd in Stereophile against a Threshold T200, which was a Stereophile A rated amp at the time. Carver corp made 77 hand built true dual mono amps ... | |
| Getting back into Hi-Fi need new int-amp All you need is a used Grant Fidelity 3400B, 300B SET integrated. Best bang for buck beneath $1k there is if your speaker demands aren't high. Even though it's only rated 10 watts it's Class A and drove a pair of Martin Logan Vista's with ease. I ... | |
| AV Receiver good enough for high end audio? It always amazes me how Queefee's type spouts on and on about the merits of a component without having heard it or set eyes upon a component in question. Whatever! You've missed the point, which was can a receiver's output be good enough to justif... |
