| Totem Forest Speakers..... A square box is the worst scenario for acoustics. The Krell sounds average to bad with the stock power cord and run un-balanced. You shoul run it balanced with a musical CDP and a great PC and interconnect like MIT offers. If you want good advice ... | |
| Shunyata ICs and speaker cables anyone? IMO, Shunyata has a tendency to remove the excitement from the music. I've had the IC's, PC's and conditioner products in and out of a few of my systems and they always cast an unavoidable darkness or clostrophobic nature to the sound. Boxed in an... | |
| I always do something stupid... Ouch, Dodgealum bitch slapped you hard:O( I re-terminated my reference Power cable incorrectly and hooked it up to my reference CDP and blew it up...how's that one for ya! Turns out however that when I returned it for repair I recieved an unknown ... | |
| Totem Forest Speakers..... Mattoo, alot of overpriced fish in the sea...you have a GEM in the 400xi. It has been misused and not appreciated by more than a few. I've owned many a $10 to $15K amps and $20K plus speakers with $20K cables...experience and experimentation have ... | |
| Totem Forest Speakers..... Ok, first of all I've owned Totem Forest, Hawks, Winds and Arros. The Forests are THEE most musical offering they have when treated properly. Second, the 400xi is a match made in heaven for them and should drive them like no other while achieving ... | |
| Midrange texture? Most good CD players/turntables deliver plenty of resolution. Cables and Power cords that eliminate contamination and lower the noise floor will allow that fine low level detail through. The best cable and PC should be on the front end. Speaker ca... | |
| High WAF, simple, integrated amplifier Get a Bose wave player and be done with it. You can't do better than Atoms and $300 for amplification? If it's the girl, you may need another upgrade:O ) The Studio 20's and a Musical Fidelity, Rotel or NAD integrated would be great with Monster w... | |
| Hyperion HPS 968 or Coincident Total Victory IV Come to think of it, I am currently running my Krell 400xi into my MG3.6R's and have never had such a dynamic, coherent, natural and dimensional sound. The little Krell loves the load and barely get's warm at full sustained concert level playback.... | |
| Pre-Power or Int Amp for Totem Wind My error about the Ayre comment, please forgive me. | |
| Hyperion HPS 968 or Coincident Total Victory IV Everyone has different listening preferences for sure. Reviews can be more than suspect based on actual experience with gear reviewed. I can understand you. I like to hear at home , what I hear in the hall and SET don't do it for me:O) | |
| What am I listening to, it can't be Digital? Ah yes, headphones...that would be part of the magic. Enjoy your fortunes:O) | |
| Dynaudio C4 speaker equipment matching Cardas makes very musical cables...you made a wise decision:O) | |
| Hyperion HPS 968 or Coincident Total Victory IV 16 watts is still 16 watts no matter what planet your from. The speaker dips to 3.8 ohms and requires a min of 50/ch per spec. Small room, chamber works and a tendency to play music softly will help of course. I recall visiting a residence with Av... | |
| a Couple of Good Jazz Picks Do you have Jarrett, "Live at The Deer Head Inn", on CD? | |
| What am I listening to, it can't be Digital? Just shut up! Just kidding of course...what does your system consist of and are you multichannel? |
