| Any suggestions where to find used pair B&W 801D? Also, you can get really good deals on new JBL too. The S4700s are $15k list price, and probably can be had for at least 40 percent off of that! | |
| Any suggestions where to find used pair B&W 801D? I tried looking for the 801Ds to no avail, so I settled on the JBL S4700s. 2 different animals to be sure; the JBL has horn loaded compression drivers and the B&W has high tech cones and domes. But, they have some things in common in that they... | |
| blue jeans cable? I had Blue Jeans Belden speaker cable. It was alright, but I replaced it (just to try it out) with Bryston speaker cable (I have a Bryston amp at this time) and the Bryston handily beat the Blue Jeans. I was pleasantly surprised, and believe me, I... | |
| Cable Recommendations? Neotech. UPOCC copper at a much better price than the Tara Labs. | |
| Are Rotel amps and preamps any good? They're ok. No big deal though. | |
| Stereo Times Review of the Apogee Acoustics Diva Sure thing, Melbguy1. That's cool, thanks. :) | |
| High End Tube Gear Transition to High End SS Get a Class A Accuphase or Luxman integrated. These are the top 2 integrateds, imo. | |
| Stereo Times Review of the Apogee Acoustics Diva Thanks Melbguy1! I appreciate that. Yeah, but wait until I upgrade the amp and preamp, haha. It won't be real soon...I'm still saving up my pennies! lol. Well, it's simple because it's what I need and what I was able to afford at the time. I only ... | |
| High End Tube Gear Transition to High End SS I would get Class A solid state. | |
| "New" Beatles Mono Catalog Release on 180gr Vinyl Too bad they didn't do the stereo box like this one. Maybe they can redo it? Haha, wishful thinking on my part. | |
| Stereo Times Review of the Apogee Acoustics Diva No problem, man. As they say, "things happen"I can believe that. I should have spent a bit more and got the Duettas. But, hindsight's 20/20. In the other thread, I commented on the audition of the Divas back in '88, and I was very impressed. Unfor... | |
| Stereo Times Review of the Apogee Acoustics Diva I had the Stages. I had a real bad time with them. The frames came apart from just careful moving around, as you have to move panel speakers (or any speakers) around to get the best sound. Also, the ribbons (both tweeter/midrangs and bass panels) ... | |

| Accuphase a-70 is a good option? Hahaha. Yes, tongue in cheek. I wasn't serious! :) | |
| Accuphase a-70 is a good option? That's cool you did the comparison. I for one, appreciate this. The Accuphase A-70 is significantly higher in price so it should be the winner! |
