| Upscaling Speakers, Downscaling Amp...What to Do? Oh dear, we're going to keep on with this, are we? Well guys, I'm one of those who believes that transducers have significantly more effect on what you're experiencing than do electronics. It's an opinion, obviously, just as you have your own. And... | |
| Upscaling Speakers, Downscaling Amp...What to Do? Johnnyb53,I have auditioned a Wyred4Sound amp and the (much better but still not wonderful) H2O monos. The VTLs are definitely in the running. Thanks for your relevant and cogent response.Mike | |
| Upscaling Speakers, Downscaling Amp...What to Do? Charles1dad,Both correct. And, IMO, this will be an upward move.I was not aware that it's 'snippy' to point out that said opinions do not actually relate to the question being asked. Thanks for your response and good luck (sincerely). | |
| Upscaling Speakers, Downscaling Amp...What to Do? Thank you for actually providing some reasonable input. The Rogues are an interesting choice.Joseph has been showing the Perspectives with Bel Canto electronics. It may be just pure bias, but I have not liked the two Class D amps that I've heard.T... | |
| Upscaling Speakers, Downscaling Amp...What to Do? Well, personally I don't conclude anything since it was your experience, not mine. It's a false analogy, regardless. Remember that we're talking about a move from one of the best integrated amplifiers ever made, to a superb preamp and whatever $30... | |
| Upscaling Speakers, Downscaling Amp...What to Do? No, actually I have not 'made up my mind'. Please go back and read my initial post. The question I asked has nothing to do with either the VAC or the Perspectives (apart from the obvious amp/speaker compatibility issue. I'm well aware that I won't... | |
| Joseph Audio Pulsar? Thanks, would love to have the Pearls as well, but that's not going to happen. | |
| Joseph Audio Pulsar? Just fyi...I like the Pulsars so much that I have committed to a new pair of Perspectives. They should be in hand next week. I traded the Pulsars back to my dealer, so if anyone wants to know where to get a gently used pair, let me know. | |
| Upscaling Speakers, Downscaling Amp...What to Do? Well, thanks for the all of the advice. I guess I really didn't make myself very clear. The decision to move to the Perspectives has been made. Likewise, the Modwright preamp is now installed and ready to go. For those of you who fear that the sys... | |
| Lyngdorf RP-1 Martykl - actually, Audyssey is what inspired me to give the Lyngdorf a try in the first place. I had noted how much better my HT setup (NAD amp) was sounding with Audyssey running. You're correct, the most dramatic impact is with the subs. I was,... | |
| Lyngdorf RP-1 Audiodude - Given the Vandy's bass EQ, I would suspect that you would hear less overall improvement than most. That's just a guess of course.Drubin - you hit upon my greatest single fear i.e. that the digitization of my pure analog signal would be... | |
| Best bookshelf for House Music Depending on budget, I'd vote for one of the LSA 1 variants. I'm using the Statements in my home theater. Outstanding value for money, in my opinion.It's unfortunate that you can't do small floorstanders. There's a pair of LSA Statements on Audiog... | |
| Joseph Audio Pulsar? And well you should apologize. I'll accept it in the spirit in which it was given.By the way, you need to work on your math skills (the cabling), and I most certainly did not pay retail prices for any of that. You really should check your facts be... | |
| Joseph Audio Pulsar? Chuck,The Pulsars and the pearls are so similar over the vast majority of the sonic range that I have to believe that something else was at play here.By the way, and I admit that this is a real pet peeve...why do you insist on putting all those ap... | |
