| Rockport Avior or Magico S5 Joey, what did you hear the Vandy's with? I realize no speaker is everyone's cup of tea as we all hear so differently. We do agree on the Ayre 20 gear though. I've heard them on a few top end speakers and the sound was outrageous. For every person... | |
| Vandersteen 5a Carbons Joey, that's why there are so many choices out there. What are the top three in that range that you like? | |
| Are my speakers now the "weak link"? and there are much better amps and much better.....the thing is that if you love the sound of your speakers, then upgrade other components and see if you can coax the most out of your speakers. So many folks don't realize how important pre amps an... | |
| Which Audioquest XLR? String, there is always noise on the line no matter what companies do to try and get rid of it. I've heard some serious systems that have dedicated, grounded yada yada...special solid copper cable with silver coating, special outlets and power con... | |
| JC1 upgrade to Lamm M2.2 or dartzeel 108B or Ayre? Guys, I"ll will usually listen to user groups who have their systems in their homes and also network. Here is a great link to show that I was just sharing what Harbeth owners know:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?cspkr&1050413633&op... | |
| JC1 upgrade to Lamm M2.2 or dartzeel 108B or Ayre? Troy, I hope you feel better now that you've gotten that off your chest. No agenda other than having fun on the boards :). I actually questioned YOUR agenda after you trashed Vandy's in that other thread. I'm sure that you have heard my system and... | |
| Devore or Harbeths to replace my ESL63s? Enjoyed what you are posting Andre. No edit needed. Thanks for sharing. Are the Proac's fully burned in? I heard a pair of D40R's months ago as a store that also had AN/UK gear. We listened to all high end tube gear. I was floored at how good the ... | |
| JC1 upgrade to Lamm M2.2 or dartzeel 108B or Ayre? 03-11-15: AudiotroyCstooner what other brands of solid state amps have you heard and in direct comparison to Ayre?(Troy, I've heard nearly all the major names over the last few years both in my home or in stores that I'm familiar with so I know wh... | |
| Devore or Harbeths to replace my ESL63s? Keep in mind that over the long haul, the Proacs may not be as lean as you think. They maybe more accurate and realistic. We love the plummy in the mid bass. The situation you are running into is what we all do....The perfect speaker isn't out the... | |
| Which Audioquest XLR? Kalbi, the problem with asking questions like this is that it totally depends on your own system. If you love the AQ sound right now, then you PROBABLY will get better performance by upgrading. I have found and I'm sure I'm not alone, that going u... | |
| Which Audioquest XLR? Wolf, not sure how to put this the right way, but here it goes. I have MS and yes, I do have a problem detecting humor in threads at times. I was being serious in my posts about what the battery packs help with. Thanks for clarifying. | |
| JC1 upgrade to Lamm M2.2 or dartzeel 108B or Ayre? Keith, do yourself a favor and check out the 20's.....;) | |
| Which Audioquest XLR? Wolf, the problem is that it's hard to know when someone is joking on a forum. I'm happy that you love your system and I"m sure it sounds good, but I promise you that your noise floor can alway be lowered. | |
| JC1 upgrade to Lamm M2.2 or dartzeel 108B or Ayre? Right now Ayre is arguably making the best SS amps you can get and their new Twenty series are the best amps I've heard so far (I've been fortunate to hear their new Ref twenty and am anxiously awaiting my new AX5/20 integrated. I own the AX7e and... | |
| Vandersteen 5a Carbons I agree with you Oglala. There are so many choices for 30K. That said, I've heard the Vandy 5CT sound nearly as good as ANY speaker I've ever heard with all AR ref gear and top of the line AQ cabling at Audio Connection when Richard was there visi... |
