| Personal amp evolution I've recently found well designed integrated amps that outperform top level separates...i.e...Krell 400xi is an amazingly dynamic, transparent and extended unit with tonal color on par with the best available. With the right cabling it is a giant ... | |
| Why is Monster M1000i interconnect overlooked? I know what your talking about cwlondon...Madrigal cables were always flat, cloudy and darkish in nature. By the way, as I break in the M1000i's I am noticing a wonderfully vibrant midrange that is full of color and palpability! The highs are join... | |
| How does Totem do it ??? I agree, the entire Totem line is amazing and one should let your Totem choose you...as long as they are in your budget! I got my Totem Forests for $2400 new...for me the difference in bottom end was worth it, but I could easily live with any of t... | |
| Why is Monster M1000i interconnect overlooked? It's all synergy! | |
| Why is Monster M1000i interconnect overlooked? When Jeffreybehr mentioned test...well, I knew he was in trouble! I didn't mean to imply that I needed a Jeffrybear to fill me in...I've owned more classic gear and cable combinations than most reviewers. All I can say is come on over and bring yo... | |
| Review: Dunlavy Audio Labs SC-IVa I'm not sure what your problem is daytrader, but I have the bills for all the above mentioned gear..actually only a small bit of what I've owned over the years. My dealers were soundex..(the owner is my friend) and Surround sounds exton, pa. If yo... | |
| Review: Dunlavy Audio Labs SC-IVa Sure, sorry for the delay...busy! Everything I've had since has lacked the honky midrange coloration of the Dunlavy's i.e..B&W 801N's, Wilson Watt/Puppy 6's, ML Prodigy's and even my Totem Forests and Winds! At one point during my Dunlavy syst... | |
| How does Totem do it ??? Amazing..superior musicaly to almost anything out there...approaching the thrill you can get with a speaker like avalon or wilsons. | |
| How does sony do it...Part II Perhaps ones "Id", formed under varying circumstances and an early childhood exposure to quality material on a wide variety of playback chains, also can dictate ones opinion? | |
| How does Totem do it ??? Dear Upstate, the winds were amazing and much needed in my last house...truly fully fleshed out and lacking for nothing in terms of high end sensibilities. The Forests are more than adequate in my new space and bring a slight bit more sense of pur... | |
| Review: Dunlavy Audio Labs SC-IVa Thenthing about dunlavy's is eventually you notice your favoring certain recordings more than others and then it hits you...they are severely flawed by a mediocre crossover and cheap diffraction padding which limits their dispersion. I had the SC ... | |
| Mark Levinson 390S or Resolution Audio Opus 21 Sold my stuff...giving up on high end! Heard a Denon 3805 and 3910 hooked to a pair of mirage om-9's that sounded more like music than most of the expensive gear I've owned...go figure? | |
| Mark Levinson 390S or Resolution Audio Opus 21 390S is as good as it gets right now!! Use the preamp section...bested my RefII and Krell KCT!! | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? Audio Research VS110...unlike any other tube amp I've heard. No roll off at all on either end nor any hazing, quick, controlled and dynamic with tremendous soundstaging and color. Sounds as powerfull as my Krell FPB 600 and 400cx did...superior to... | |
| Transparent users... Question THE NEW MM STUFF IS AMAZING...GET THE BEST LEVEL YOU CAN AFFORD. DIDACTICALLY SPEAKING OF COURSE! |
