| Hyperion HPS 968 or Coincident Total Victory IV Why 16 watts? Why those two speakers? For a music lover, far more interesting and capable speakers/amp combo's can be had for probably less money. What's your budget and expectations for your system? | |
| B&W vs Von Schweikert house sound? Sorry, wasn't actually out to bash B&W's per se. I owned the 801N's and seriously demo'd the 800D's under various conditions and with different components. They have an overdamped design as mentioned in their white papers. The midrange forward... | |
| B&W vs Von Schweikert house sound? B&W's are not lively speakers. They are overdamped by design. They also have a forward midrange. | |
| Pre-Power or Int Amp for Totem Wind Overpriced Ayre reference products may work fine, but go for the bargain and get a used Krell...I used a 400cx and KCT to great effect:O) | |
| Biggest Baddest Audio Cables That is weird...no accounting for individual systems, rooms and tastes:O) | |
| Dynaudio C4 speaker equipment matching I would suggest you try the MIT products together for best results, with the best IC at the source and so on down the chain. The speaker cables from MIT are phenomenal, but will only pass on what get's to them. You might want to try the Oracle DOT... | |
| Pre-Power or Int Amp for Totem Wind Power makes the Wind's go around, the Wind's go around, the Wind's go around. Power makes the...well, you get the idea with or without the show tune:O) A used Krell FPB400CX or similiar amp would do it. | |
| Mapleshade boards under speakers Alot of good advice can be had from Pierre, but one must sift through the eccentric to get to the practical. When I thought my room was a problem He told me to rip out the cieling etc... Room placement was the only issue:O) | |
| Biggest Baddest Audio Cables Silver bad, copper GOOOOD! I've gone through the mill again with cables and tried all the new offerings such as SR Tesla and the winner IS.....MIT! Me likey:O ) | |
| Mapleshade boards under speakers Platforms under speakers alter the dispersion characteristics of a speaker no? I tried it and hated it. Under my subs however..now that did wonders for them:O) | |
| Aerial Model 9 vs B&W Nautilus 802 Get Maggie 3.6R's...with the ML amp it would be sweet:O) | |
| Who has dumped the power conditioner? Price for the powercell? | |
| Who has dumped the power conditioner? Dedicated power lines, MIT and Transparent PC's and Wattgate outlets are all I need...no conditioner has worked well, including the best from Shunyata, Transparent and MIT...or PS Audio and Monster. | |
| Transparent isolator vs shunyata guardian pro Skip the boxes, swap out the Shunyata for a Transparent MM Powerlink reference or an MIT Oracle AC 2 PC. Those two power cords are the best way to deal with AC issues while doing no harm to the musical signal. All Shunyata products have a characte... | |
| Are Harbeths really "all that?" The HL 5's can be a musical transducer with less than state of the art components and /or recordings...it should also cost about $1500 pair. It IS a moderm day version of the Bozak B313 large bookshelf design. A pair of Maggie 3.6R's with well des... |
