| JBL M2 speaker system .... Exactly right Joeinid, it would be wise to audition them first. And again, I hope they will in fact be at CES. They were at RMAF, so I don't see why not. It would be great to audition them, providing they're on active display, even if it's not in ... | |
| Best Class A amp with SLAM Nice features on that amp. | |
| Best Class A amp with SLAM Nice amps Atmasphere! I would be proud of these babies! | |
| JBL M2 speaker system .... Joeinid, I would like to use my own amps and preamp of my choice too. An alternative to this would be the consumer K29900s and possibly the S4700 or S3900. Do they sound as good as the M2s? I can't say for sure, but the consensus is that the M2s a... | |
| APOGEE CENTAUR MAJOR VS B&W MATRIX801S2 WHICH IS T I *did* hear the Matrix 800s way back in '91 driven by Krell amps and preamp at a local dealer. From what I remember, it was good, but no big deal. Of course, it could have been placement, the room, and maybe the electronics too. I would definitel... | |
| JBL M2 speaker system .... Ok, $46k for the Levinson based system. Thanks Kana813. Does that include the preamp and digital source? | |
| Las Vegas Just a reminder. The November meeting is on the 16th, which is a Saturday. All are welcome to attend!For details, email me!http://lasvegasaudioclub.blogspot.co...-time-set.html | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? Well, audio is too often a lonely and solitary hobby.This goes against human nature as man is a social animal. This is the reason why audio clubs/societies exist. To get together with like minded people and socialize. As the founder of an audio cl... | |
| Luxman PD-171 turntable Yeah, I understand. Personally, I do feel the prices *are* way too high on current high end components, but I'm always looking at the present and ahead. I don't really look back, unless the component can't be ignored. Yes, that is a stretch to cal... | |
| APOGEE CENTAUR MAJOR VS B&W MATRIX801S2 WHICH IS T Ct0517, no I did not hear them side by side, so you got me there. I admit that a more thorough testing is what was called for. Although memory of sounds can be a strong thing, it's certainly not the same as side by side comparisons. Nevertheless, ... | |
| Luxman PD-171 turntable This is a throwback to the 1970s when you could get similar technology from Thorens or Dual. I myself would pocket the 6,700 dollars and look for a classic. I just bought a Dual at an estate sale for 100 dollars, restored it top to bottom for 90, ... | |
| Luxman PD-171 turntable That's cool, thanks for the info...I hope the US dist. will bring it over from Japan! We'll see what happens. Which tonearms would any of you recommend on this armless version? | |
| APOGEE CENTAUR MAJOR VS B&W MATRIX801S2 WHICH IS T The B&Ws *can* offer superb sound to this day, but again, imo, it will fall just short of the 801Ds and 800Ds. As well as the high end JBLs and Tannoys. They're quite a bargain on the used market! The Apogees, no big deal on those. I consider ... | |
| JBL M2 speaker system .... No, you need the active crossover. There's no crossovers inside the M2. It is a superb speaker to say the least from what I hear. I hope they have them on active display (with the Levinson stuff) @ CES! :D | |
| APOGEE CENTAUR MAJOR VS B&W MATRIX801S2 WHICH IS T Yeah, I agree. Look for a more current speaker. |
