| B &W bolt thread size? At least you got a response. Mine on your behalf so far has been nill. Perhaps the person I emailed is no longer there, who knows? Anyways, these are good speakers and worth tweaking all you can out of them. BTW - Google imaging "B&W CDM 1NT s... | |
| B &W bolt thread size? Hello Tntate - I emailed them moments after my last post. No reply yet.My stands are also filled with sand, but putting the speakers on them and tightening them down sharpens the sound rather than muting. In my case the speakers are bolted on with... | |

| B &W bolt thread size? Hello Tntate - Oh, I see, I couldn't see the screw holes because they were under the rubber feet!In my case, with 805N's, when I bought them they had some cheap, lightweight stands, and I was skeptical that stands would make much difference. I was... | |
| Von Schweikert VR33 or JBL K2 S5500? Hello Gsm18439. The link doesn't work, but I found the company via Google. Are you referring to their YS-500 line at 3 times the price, the YS-605 at 6 times of those discussed, or some other model? Have you heard any speakers made by this mfr? Wh... | |
| Von Schweikert VR33 or JBL K2 S5500? Hi John, and thanks again. Among vintage lovers, McIntosh, Luxman, and Marantz among amps, and JBL, Altech, Rogers, and Tannoy among speakers are especially popular here, along with all Japanese items, but many others are available, and most of th... | |
| B &W bolt thread size? Hello Tntate - Coincidentally, a pair of CDM 1NT's just came to the main audio shop I frequent today. I lifted up the CDM's and saw no holes on the bottom, just four rubber disk-feet on a wooden bottom. Could be a version difference from yours, I ... | |
| Von Schweikert VR33 or JBL K2 S5500? Hello John. Yours seems like "sound" advice regarding the VR33's, their design, and my room conditions, though I haven't given-up on them yet. They really are good, and I have lots of time to consider those, and also other places to put them if I ... | |
| B &W bolt thread size? I needed to know stand bolt sizes for my 805N's a while back. I emailed B&W and got a detailed reply by the next day, even though my speakers were second hand.The 805N stands have four small spikes that come up from the stands to the bottoms o... | |
| Von Schweikert VR33 or JBL K2 S5500? @Larryken - Thank you for your comment, but I think by "investment" you seem to imply a way to make money. I don't believe anyone here expects the price of these things to increase; however, in my own financial realm, resale value is one of many f... | |
| B&W 805D stands? Experience? I had the 805N's on heavy Japanese stands made for them by TOAC until I found some original B&W stands. They sounded very good with the TOACs, and I liked the way the TOACs looked, with two legs each instead of one, much better, but the origin... | |
| Anyone heard Davone Ray's or Rithm's? I heard the Rays at the Tokyo Int. Audio Show, 2010. As they were set-up, I thought they were the best sounding speakers of the show, bar none, and price irrelevant. Really natural sound. I organized and had a home demo with the local distributor ... | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? I live in Japan. In 2001 I bought a Suzuki microvan for about US $500, I still drive it. This "van" could easily be driven up into, and easily fit inside, most American vans, with room to spare.Meantime, I've purchased Accapella Campanilles, Sonus... | |
| Mcintosh MC500 or Accuphase P800 I haven't heard the MC1000, but I have heard the the MC500 with B&W Nautilus 802. The combination is excellent, as to my ear the MC500 "warms-up" the B&Ws a tad, together making really good synergistic balance. The 500 has plenty of power,... | |
| Integrated amp for my Sonus Faber Guarneri Thanks, Lloydelee21! Actually, I am not as dedicated as all that. I've been planning to move for several years, and have a pretty clear idea in my head of what sort of house I want, but the 2.4-meter high Acapellas just add one more requirement of... |
