| Amp Suggestions please... Marchman:Nope, not that I know of. It's hard to get much data about the Marsh amps (outside of the dealership, anyway) which makes me wonder what they don't want to say (I find this particularly odd given that they do have a pretty impressive soun... | |
| Sim Moon I-5, Plinius 8150 8200 , Eci -3 While I agree the Plinius is the pick of the litter here, can anyone flesh out a bit where you see the shortfall in the other two? The SF is 90 db sensitive and nominally 6 ohm - it shouldn't present an overload to either the EC or the Moon. Dynau... | |
| Music for "Tough Times" Dwight Yoakum's "Hillbilly Deluxe" is always a good start for me. I can then either move on up and out to some more honky tonk, or just get down and wallow in it with the likes of Patsy Cline, Jim Reeves, etc. If I'm really out of sorts, I just st... | |
| Amp Suggestions please... w/r/t damping factors: Marsh = 800, Sim = 800, Plinius - no data found. w/r/t output: Marsh is 200w @ 8 ohms, 330 @ 4 ohms; Sim is 120 @ 8 ohms, 200 @ 4 ohms, Plinius is 100 @ 8 ohms, 160 @ 4 ohms. w/r/t THD: Marsh = .02, Sim = .01; Plinius = .05.... | |
| Amp Suggestions please... Willy - what pre-amp will you be using? All three amps you ask about are excellent choices, but there's more to system matching than just speakers and amps. If the pre will be new as well, I'm kinda partial to the Marsh when mated with the P2000t ... | |
| New Receiver or New Amp? Ok, I understand a little better now. Sounds to me like maybe an integrated might be the easiest way for you to go, if it's bang for the buck time (with a financial manager overseeing the deal as well). So if you go integrated (and the NADs really... | |
| New Receiver or New Amp? I don't have the specs to hand on these pieces, so I can't comment specifically. You can get the requisite data points from the respective web sites (See the Manufacturers list here on Audiogon - it's a wonderful thing!) Cursorily, either of the t... | |
| New Receiver or New Amp? IF you're planning on moving up(?) to separates, then the new amp makes sense. If you want to stay single box, it might be cheaper to sell the Denon and buy the NAD. Given the choice between Bryston and NAD, I'd prefer the Bryston, but that's just... | |
| Best Bookshelf Speakers 1500 Used/New Have a listen to Silverline SR-17. Easily driven by your amp, right in your price range, nice looking units, too. They'll speak for themselves if you give 'em a chance.chas | |
| A twist on "Your absolute best..." The tuner is blown, the dial lights are out, and it looks like hell, but I'll always cherish my Radio Shack receiver. It was the first "stereo system" I ever bought, and it was my only system for 25 years. Turntables, speakers, tape decks came and... | |
| Hum in Speakers - AMP switched to Phono Elizabeth is right again, but you might also need to check your outlet as well. I had a situation in my house where the plugs were replaced (old two prongers to "modern" three prongers) but they didn't actually ground the outlets - hence, looked g... | |
| Sub-sat system the ultimate compromise ? Seems to me (I don't have my reference books handy here just now, sorry) but I thought the average ear worked between 20hz and 20khz, maybe a taste lower at each end, but there ya go. So if it can be heard, and it can be recorded, then shouldn't w... | |
| One step up from entry-level? Mark:Who cares what others think is "the next step up"? I have NAD gear that I auditioned one on one with various other "better" gear, as well as against typical consumer stuff. I bought the NAD because I could hear a significant improvement over ... | |
| Will tubes rock? Pinetop:Dunno if this exactly qualifies, but for my secondary system I am running an older (like 15 yrs?) NYAL Moscode 300. It's a hybrid tube amp (tubed input stage, ss output) and I have found the thing it does best is rock! It's no slouch on cl... | |
| How to find rec.audio.marketplace Whoa down there, cowpokes! Deja isn't "dead"; just undergoing a somewhat Kafkaesque metamorphosis into some "Google" thing. They claim they will have a new "deja-like" interface soon, when things should resume their usual wierd ways. 'Til then, no... |
