| Luxman 509X, 590AXII, or Gryphon Diablo 300 for B&W 802d3 I own the Luxman 590AXII and it powers Harbeth 30.2’s which have an 87db Sensitivity (yours are 90 I see) with no problem. I can get well past 95db loudness when cranking it. There has been some discussion about the fact that although Luxman says ... | |
| Technics Turntable Database, KAB Electro-Acoustics: Technics Specialist I was born and raised in Plainfield NJ - how's it doing? Haven't been able to get back there in 20 years. Does downtown still have an empty block of nothing in the middle of it? | |
| $1,500 phono upgrade worth it? @millercarbon I appreciate the info in the 3rd paragraph, I was unaware of that. | |
| Best speakers around $130k? Stacked pair of used Large Advents inside a $129,000 house. Or if you already own a home, the Advents and a Porsche 911. | |
| Call me crazy but I love sometimes just looking at my speakers and set up... @ryder i have the 590AXII - what a great combination of sound and features. And looks. | |
| Call me crazy but I love sometimes just looking at my speakers and set up... Totally get it OP! I worked hard to get to my current system, and sometimes I just like to be in the same room with it. I call it Melissa. -- Just kidding on the Melissa part, but that's where it seemed to be heading -- | |
| It's time to do it! Please, your help.... I was in the same boat as you a while back, but I did not want to build my own system, deal with third-party software, I did not want to use my MAC/laptop/PC, so I got the Bluesound Vault to get me started. Built in DAC, easy to load your CD's or ... | |
| How much gear do you own? Someone define "Too Much" and "Not Enough" and then I can tell you!! | |
| Should I upgrade my TT wiring? I'd agree with Fuzztone, although you don't mention what cartridge you have, if it's the near or the same age as the table, spend money on that first. | |
| Recommend an Entry Level Turntable (And maybe an integrated Amp) I get you're still happy with the Denon, but I'd also suggest you upgrade that receiver first. You will hear a big difference with the NAD (NAD always sounded better then Denon in my opinion), or any of the others mentioned - for CD's and streami... | |
| Do speaker wires have to be the same length for each speaker? No, but like most of us, if you had two different lengths, you’d always be wondering if it would sound better if they were. So mine are the same length even though I could have saved a few bucks if I hadn’t. But I like the reason above for keeping... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @wolf_garcia so what you’re really saying is, you’re into three-somes, eh? 😉 | |
| Beatles Get Back documentary The Beatles? Wasn't that Paul's backup band before Wings? | |
| Your Favorite Christmas Song-One only Please- The Waitresses - Christmas Wrapping. Just a fun, upbeat song that makes you wish what happens in the song would have happen to you. | |
| Finally Learned: Subs serve much larger role than adding more low bass I wasn't so much a sub denier, but thought my 20 year old velodyne sub was fine, until it bit the dust and I brought a new JL Audio with DSP. I agree with your statement of how much better it integrates, it just seems like my speakers noew have be... |
