| Brute power cheap?? Adcom Vs. Rotel vs. NAD Hafler is another good choice. It, too, is a MOSFET design. I used to own an Acoustat TransNova Twin 200 which, I believe, was made by Hafler and was designed, obviously, for use with the Acoustat speakers.Great recommendation. | |
| Brute power cheap?? Adcom Vs. Rotel vs. NAD They may not have the SNOB appeal, but the newer Adcom gear is truly outstanding.My good friend is using an Adcom 5802 to drive his Martin Logan CLSs. The sound is breathtaking. Smooth and powerful with plenty of finesse. Even at the new price of ... | |
| Cigar Smell...How to get out of Maggies?? UPDATE...I've got them in the garage airing out. I've added a couple of high velocity fans (one for each) blowing up at them 24hrs. It seems to be working. I'm going to look into the OZONE idea that Sean recommended, but need to talk to Magnepan f... | |
| Thiel 1.6 vs Proac 1.5 I wonder how many of these respondents have actually heard the new 1.6? I'm guessing that most are just generalizing about the Thiel "house sound".I listened to the 1.6s a couple of weeks ago and found them to be a far departure from most Thiels t... | |
| ARC...D-90B or D-115MKII? - Driving Maggie 1.6s Thanks guys!I've decided to purchase the D-115. Thanks for all of the advice.What is the quasi-biamping technique? Is that bi-wiring? If so, I'm definitely intending to do that.Thanks,Dan | |
| ARC...D-90B or D-115MKII? - Driving Maggie 1.6s Thanks to you both, Brulee and Franklapdog! I'm really leaning toward the D-115MKII.That's interesting that the D-90 had sufficient power to drive the original CLSs. My good friend just bought a pair and is powering them with an Adcom 5802 (300wpc... | |
| XA7ES, Miles, Cary 301, ARC CD-1?? Direct to amp.. Thanks everybody. To answer Daniel's question, I'm running a Forte Model 4 amp, so unbalanced would be fine with the Sony.What's the difference between analog and digital volume controls? Does the Sony XA7ES have an analog or digital volume contro... | |
| Infinity IRS Sigma for 2K...Should I do it?? My apologies for never following up on this. I've decided not to purchase the speaker for three reasons. 1) They simply will be too big for my room. 2) I don't have enough power to drive them properly. 3) I've fallen head-over-heals for another sp... | |
| Vandersteen 1B vs. 1C I have not heard the 1C, but I've listented to the 1B, 2CE, 2CE Signature, etc.I must say that I'm more impressed by the balanced presentation offered by the 1Bs than their larger, more expensive siblings. If the 1C is an improvement (you'd have t... | |
| Your "Budget Cable" recommendations, please...... Thanks for the thorough post Sean. I do have a couple of questions/thoughts.I am THE WORST DIY'er. There's no possible way that I can make my own ICs. I like that I can buy a completed kit from homegrown cables. Seems like a VERY fair price, too. ... | |
| Your "Budget Cable" recommendations, please...... Thanks Dekay. That's some of the most thoughtful and specific advice I've ever gotten.So....Can any of you recommend a cable that provides nice solid, tight bass. Bear in mind that I'll be in need of interconnects and speaker cables.Does the Nordo... | |
| Your "Budget Cable" recommendations, please...... Thanks all. Anybody else have feedback about/experience with the Nordost SuperFlatline stuff?Keep it coming. I'm making a list.-Dan | |
| Infinity IRS Sigma for 2K...Should I do it?? Thanks Beemer. I saw Epsilons too. I'm in California. My only major concern is with regard to power. They're going to be in a relatively small room so I don't think they'd need a TON of power, but what would you say is the minimum requirement??Tha... | |
| Cheap Panels...MMG's or Apogee Centaur Minors?? Thanks everybody. It looks like it's unanimous. The seller is Toys From The Attic and they're asking $599. I'm told that they're in "excellent" condition. This seems like it's on the high side (pricewise), but maybe it's worth the extra $$ buying ... | |
| How to couple my monitors to stands??? Hey, Ed. Thanks...and no hard feelings. I saw the posting right after I got my Osiris stands. I have since been in contact with the seller who is a heck of a guy. He let them go for $200. I located a local buyer for the Osiris stands and I'll just... |
