| Parasound P5 I see the Onkyo also has upsampling and a pure direct button.Very few preamps have this kind of functionality. The only ones I can think of at the moment are Accuphase and McIntosh, and those are much, much more.Is the Onkyo a case of don't let th... | |
| Parasound P5 Hi Audiozen: I've been looking at that Onkyo for a while now. It's really that good, huh? Would you say it outperforms the Bryston BP6 that I currently use? Is it a safe buy from say, Amazon? I haven't seen it at a lower price except from accessor... | |
| Replace Classe CA-200 with Pass X350, do it? Yeah, I would. | |
| preferance Pass Labs XP15 or Parasound JC3 Yeah, I would lean towards the Pass Labs because it should match better with your other Pass Labs stuff. Also, the XP15 is more adjustable than the JC3. Compare the 2 and see. Anyway, that's my take. | |
| Tannoy or JBL Cool Kiddman, thanks for the info on those. However, I prefer solid state and I would say at least 60 Wpc into 8 Ohms. | |
| Best Amp for Timbre, Depth and Spatial Resolution? I think its safe to say amp specifications matter but do not tell the whole story.I agree. | |
| Class A or AB amp for JBL S4700 speakers Ok, cool, looks good. Thanks. | |

| Class A or AB amp for JBL S4700 speakers Thanks, Peter, that doesn't look too bad.MinorI: Exactly right on everything you wrote. But, more often than not the units you want to try aren't even in their stores! A lot of this stuff, the really good and expensive stuff, is special order thes... | |
| Class A or AB amp for JBL S4700 speakers They're too restrained sounding with these speakers. As well as too lean, dry, and bare-bones. These speakers are very revealing. | |
| Class A or AB amp for JBL S4700 speakers Thanks. | |
| Class A or AB amp for JBL S4700 speakers That sounds reasonable. Tough to do though. Dealers aren't really willing to let me do home auditions, and I'm not dragging the speakers over there. Anyway, thanks for your feedback. | |
| Best Amp for Timbre, Depth and Spatial Resolution? Exactly. There is merit to the subjective approach. Specs only tell part of the story. You don't listen to specs, you listen to sound and music. | |
| Best Amp for Timbre, Depth and Spatial Resolution? I don't wanna disrespect the dead, but Julian Hirsch was a quack, imo. | |
| Best Amp for Timbre, Depth and Spatial Resolution? Hey Nvp, did you get my message about Accuphase? :D |
