| Wilson MAXX II speakers- I just listened to them this weekend and they are huge step up from my WP7's (wall of music and the attack dynamics are utterly amazing).. they are better than the prior Maxx.if you used them in your room, just treat the first order reflection poi... | |
| nautilus 801 bass accuracy Room plays a big part as people have already mentioned.Also the Rega Planet is a single bit dac that starts to get compressed when things get busy on the recording, try borrowing a better CD player. | |
| Help wanted choosing speakers and subwoofer The mags are spooky but lacking extreme volume for mid bass and require serious power (don't try this with a receiver) I had four 1.6's in my home theater before I went in-walls. The Vandy's plus two Vandy subs will suite you nicely. Otherwise pic... | |
| In wall speakers? Check out the high end Niles (Check my video system, I have the grills off in the pictures..) they are three ways with titanium 8" drivers.. pretty amazing full range and not fatiguing... after the initial break in they are amazing, plus they have... | |
| Rowland Synergy IIi vs. Sim Audio P5 I have the Rowland Synergy IIi and I tried a lot of equipment prior (except the SIM since I had such aweful luck with their W5 amplifier).It really is an outstanding piece, but I have realized that since Rowland equipment is truely balanced it doe... | |
| What cables for Rowland's Concerto If it's like Rowland's other products Balanced will be best, I have found Cardas dark/closed in sounding, I have had excellent luck with Transparent with Rowland. I will be going balanced soon hopefully | |
| DVI output of a cheap DVD player always same ?? Aroc is right.. you can read about it on avsforum, but the DVI output of the Bravo is amazing but it has other quirks. The bravo can scale to 780p and 1080i. The Denon would be much better than the Bravo if you used any other output other than DVI... | |
| EAD TM 8000 vs Meridian 568.1 I have a EAD Signature and my friend has the Meridian 565 both models are older but we both agree the EAD is more musical 2 channel than the meridian equipment, and the Meridian is more flexible with channel management and bass management than the... | |
| Powered vs. Passive Speakers Next time power the Wilsons with an amp that has a Damping factor! I mean that's like saying Magenpans sound lifeless powered by a SET tube amp?I am glad you found something that you like... post your system with pictures when you get them.I had P... | |
| wilson vs competitor battle demo in response to Tom Y comment below in quotes"Fourth, how much about the Sophia hype should we believe. Has Stereophile, Wes Phillips etc. all been bought by Dave Wilson ??? Is the Sophia truly a musical speaker, or is it an overly detailed, overly... | |
| Which 3K CDP: Simaudio Nova, Ayre CX-7 Wadia 302 Gamut CD1R or the newer version is pretty amazing.. I am a fan of Wadia but the Gamut got me more for my money.. The R version fixed the bass problem with a powersupply upgrade. It sounds increadible on my Wilson Watt Puppy 7's (Sophia would be ju... | |
| wadia repair There have been great advances since that DAC (I owned that one also and it fried my Pioneer Elite SPD99 processor because of the 10volt output)... You anthem probably actually has better dac's than the 19bit dac in the Wadia 12.. Sell it | |
| How do I power up my monoblocks? No unfortuately it doesn't have a remote (no lamm preamp does) and that was a requirement. I just purchased a Rowland Synergy IIi preamp with remote but no 12v trigger, besides the Lamm's require a different cable not the typical 12v 1/8" stereo j... | |
| How do I power up my monoblocks? Get the Lamm L1 preamp which will turn on the Lamm M1.1's when with a front switch. There is a remote switch plug on the back of those M1.1's (I have them also). I am trying to see about creating a remote 12v trigger and using X10 to turn on my amps. | |
| rowland 302 v. krell 400..VTL preamp v. BATVK51SE I have to disagree with Philb7777 that you should try Transparent cables versus the Cardas as I have found the Cardas Dark sounding and will make the WP7's (which I also own) harsh. Transparent Ultra MM (or Reference with XL) will tighten up the f... |
