| Attaching speaker wire directly to crossover? Hey all - a belated thanks for these responses. I guess it's an interesting idea if you've already vetted how a given wire sounds when connecting a given amp and speakers, although I do wonder whether connecting the wire directly to the crossover ... | |
| Luxman L505u . . . why not? I'm also curious about how LFD compares, as I've tried the Luxman 550 - liked it, impressive resolution, but I found the sound of the 550 fatiguing and the sound lacked the "unity" of sound that an excellent tube amp like the Leben has. I also am ... | |
| Your impressions on Blue circle Thingee HO SBU I just bought one. I'd agree that it sounds like a $2k CD player when fed by lossless itunes from a Macbook - not necessarily a big surprise, but it's a HUGE step up from streaming lossless via Airport Express, for example. Quite the little bargai... | |
| Blue Circle amplifiers All - thanks for the responses thus far. I may get a chance to audition an FtTH in a few weeks and will report back when I do. In the meantime, I'm still appreciative of any input from others who have heard the more recent integrateds! | |
| BAT VK-300x Pauly - my apologies for the sluggish response. The 505u I heard was a demo that I understand was well broken in, and it was indeed a great sounding amp. But there was no doubt that the 550 and the 509 were superior, with the 509 being one of the ... | |
| Best amp s for 11x14 room under $4000 new/used ? Hey Vandermeulen - I think we are of the same mind on Leben - love the sound, but worried about wasting tubes on HT. It's interesting what you say about PASS - I'll look into it again, had been under the impression that the sound was almost too cl... | |
| Best amp s for 11x14 room under $4000 new/used ? Thanks Tpreaves - I actually may be able to audition one of those, so will keep you posted! Would be interested to hear any comments on its sound.Krell man - indeed, from all I have read the Karan 180 looks like it might be the ideal amp for me, a... | |
| Best speaker value between $1800-$2100 I'm in a very similar situation to yours, and have tentatively settled on a pair of Ohm 1000s, which retail for $2000. Looks like they might be a good match for the Creek also. | |
| Dream speakers and amp for an 11x14 room? All - I just wanted to say thanks a bunch for all your help on this. Tentatively, I've decided to go with a pair of Ohm 1000s. Pretty impressive, as I had not even been considering Ohms before I started this thread! I think it's also impressive be... | |
| BAT VK-300x Hey Renjy - thanks for the response - I have indeed heard the Luxman L509u and agree it sounds fantastic - unfortunately, with its price tag, the choice is not mine! I was not as impressed by the 505, although I did like it. If you're saying it so... | |
| Dream speakers and amp for an 11x14 room? Duke - thanks very much for the input. If I understand your post correctly, you're essentially raising a question about sound bouncing off walls that would be close to the Ohms. One mitigating factor, I'm told, is that the Ohms aren't pure omnis, ... | |
| BAT VK-300x So are my questions still just too vague or poorly phrased, or have the BAT Vk-300x models failed to inspire a legion of fans who delight in describing their sound versus each other and the competition?Again, I'm fully aware that only I know what ... | |
| Dream speakers and amp for an 11x14 room? All - just an update that I've done some research in the past couple of weeks, and the Ohms are the front runner at this point (just can't get excited about monitors, for some reason). I talked to John Strobheen who actually recommended that I go ... | |
| BAT VK-300x Thanks - I had meant to mention that I'm basically starting over completely with my system, and the current idea is to go with a pair of Ohm 1000 speakers - I'm slightly concerned that the 300x or 6922 might be a little dark for Ohms, for example.... | |
| BAT VK-300x ... and especially interested in comparisons to Blue Circle integrateds... ideally, I'm looking to hit a mix of non-fatiguing yet lush detail, a weighty, ballsy sound, with a hint of organic, tubey warmth that, at the end of the day, achieves neut... |
