| Tannoy Stirlings on the way! Hey @trentmemphis, thanks for the running commentary on your new Stirlings!. I have a pair that arrive today and I will spend a couple weeks with them and decide between keeping my much larger Revel F228Be's or the Stirlings. I truly WANT the S... | |
| Pass First Watt J2 vs F3 Jumping in 4.5 years later. Have J6 and Zu Soul Superfly on the way. Excited to pair it up with the VAC Ren preamp. Expecting some magic to happen . . . | |
| REL subwoofer hum Steam3642 - Great advice. I've been fighting this with my Strata iii and BAT VK75SE (only a problem when amp is ON). The BAT is also fully balanced dual differential and when I wired to right terminals only, buz is gone and bass notes from sub com... | |
| Review: Michael Wolff power cords Carbon Gain Power cord After wringing my hands over what cord to buy to power my Levinson 331 amp, I decided to audition the Wolff Gain cord. Why? There are so many choices and the ones that folks rave about are just too #@&* much money. The reviews, web site and Mi... | |
| Anyone Switch from Electrostatic/Planar to Dynamic Yes Clueless on both counts. I have spent $thousands$ trying to "upgrade" components and cables but I have to say the few hundred $$ I spent upgrading the crossover knocked me out. WAY more than a tweak! George was a great help to me. Being a novi... | |
| Anyone Switch from Electrostatic/Planar to Dynamic Very unlikely (though I never say never) that I will make the switch back to boxes. I have a pair of Apogee Stages and with the stock crossover, there are as many shortcomings as significant advantages. I gutted the cheap capacitors and decent ind... | |
| CJ Premier 11a vs. Audio Research VT50/VT100MKII ? Without dragging this out too much, I can add that I owned a P11a and chose is over the VT50. I did not audition the VT100 because it was in a higher price class that I could not consider. I can strongly say that the P11a was sooo much more enjoya... | |
| Any DIYer s out there ? I have become a first time DIY'er without intending to do so. I bought a pair of Apogee Stages because the price was right and I have always been intriuged by what people said about them. LOVED the sound immediately but thougth it had some shortco... | |
| Thiel 2.3 compare to Proac 2.5 Hi Abe,I had the CJ PV12a and Premier 11a when I bought the Proac 2.5's. I was very impressed with the Premier's performance on a speaker that likes current (mid bass can be a bit too ripe, especially considering it is only 70Watts/ch. Ultimately ... | |
| Upgrade advise needed please I had a CJ PV12a line stage and loved it for a long time. Very musical. It was not until I tried my Audio Research LS22 that I realized how much I was not hearing and the transparency of the AR is amazing. The AR is more linear and less forgiving ... | |
| Revel M20 vs.B W 805 vs.Dynaudio 1.3SE Soundwatts, I was just guessing on why you would draw such negative conclusions on the 805N's. I was running a Levinson 331 with Audio Research LS22 pre. I used to own a CJ Premier 11a and PV12. The B&W's really tightened up and extended nicel... | |
| Thiel 2.3 compare to Proac 2.5 I think both are great speakers. I owned Proac 2.5s and Thiel 22's, not the newer 2.3's. Although the Proacs are very musical and smooth and non fatiguing, I found that the presentation of vocals to be a bit laid back. It was as if the voices were... | |
| Revel M20 vs.B W 805 vs.Dynaudio 1.3SE Wow. Could not disagree more with Soundwatts input. I have not heard the Dyns but I owned 805Ns and compared them to the M20's. The 805's are wonderfully musical and involving. I sold a $4500 pair of Proac 2.5's to buy them because I loved the sou... | |
| Upgrade advise needed please I agree that a preamp upgrade will give you the biggest $$bang. B&K amps make a great entry level high end option but their preamps are lacking. Lot's of good preamp options out there. Do you prefer tube or solid state? | |
| Magical, Musical, Mini Monitors The tiniest of the Proac line are quite magical . . .no bass however. Mounting would be an obvious challenge however. |
