| Vandersteen Treo's I thought it was the Pharoah's. Those are the new integrated aren't they? If so, they had plenty of power etc... They sounded great, but I felt the Ayre gave me everything the Rogue did, but they did more. Both are great integrateds though and I'd... | |
| Vandersteen Treo's Let me know when you go. I can get free during the week also (actually easier). I have three full systems to bring to JOhn for him to help me sell I think. I heard the Rogue with the Treo's and they were a nice feed. Then he put on the Ayre 5x and... | |

| Best speaker firing across short dimension of room I have a similar situation and I auditioned a ton of speakers. I found that bass response was the most difficult to get set up properly. I think most people always have to compromise their set up due to bass in this situation. I decided to go a di... | |
| Integrateds: $3K, $4.5K or $5K I have the Ayre 7xe....it's plenty powerful for all the speakers I've heard it with. That includes Focal, Vandy, B&W, Legacy, Dynaudio, Paradigm and many others. You should check it out if you can. I personally feel the Ayre is the most natura... | |
| Integrateds: $3K, $4.5K or $5K I would also say that Ayre and Hegel are two of the BEST integrateds right now as both go with every speaker I've auditioned over the last 7 months as I redo my whole system. Good to hear others liking their gear. | |
| Speakers for RWA Signature 57 I have a pair of Proac Supertowers, Proac Studio 100's and Studio 1 mk2 for sale. All are teak. I'm in CT and would love local pick up. They are all known for staging and imaging. They will have the typical British sound. I bought these all over t... | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE I have loved the Supertowers for years and love them all over again since I hooked up the Ayre integrated. I get my new DAC/cable this week and can't wait to burn it in. I bet it's going to sound that much better. That said, I'm selling them off (... | |
| Integrated Amplifier for FOCAL 807VW speakers I haven't heard Naim in a few years. I loved their stuff in the past. I've had a ton of NAD stuff since the 80's and never had a problem. Interesting to hear you had problems with them. Have you heard the old Onix integrated's? They were similar t... | |
| Integrateds: $3K, $4.5K or $5K hegel's are awesome integrated's. They have the new ones that just replaced last years models so there are many being offered on the net. I personally went with Ayre last month and LOVE it. I feel it's more of everything. It's the most tube like, ... | |
| Best cheap speaker cables............again I've been an MIT man for years and year. I've recently heard AQ with a ton of systems and all different price levels. All have impressed me by low noise and what they don't add or lose. Most neutral cables I've ever heard and I've heard most of th... | |
| Integrated Amplifier for FOCAL 807VW speakers Funny as I have been running my Proac Supertowers with the NAD 326BEE integrated for a few years now. I do love this integrated as it's powerful enough and it's great with speakers that may have a bit too much on top. I had a pair of Focals (can't... | |
| Integrated Amplifier for FOCAL 807VW speakers You really need to listen for yourself. What type of music do you like? What else is in your system? Great components don't always work well together. I love my new Ayre integrated. Best one I've heard with many different speakers I've been auditi... | |
| Monitor speaker recommendations Not sure if you have interest, but I have 2 pair of proacs for sale right now. both have new surround that were professionally done through Audio Connections in NJ (a top Proac dealer). They are both teak. One is a Studio 1 MK2 and the other is a ... | |
| Integrateds: $3K, $4.5K or $5K Guys, I understand why you all love YOUR amps. We all do. Makes sense. I can't have tubes anymore. I have Quicksilver separates that would be AWESOME, but I'm sick of tubes and as much as I love them I wanted an amp that would give me that sweet s... |
