B&W 802D vs Wilson WATT Puppy
The 802Ds not being biwired make no difference w. Transparent cables. They are not allowed to be used in a biwired configuration. The networks are voiced for full range. That is why they weren't biwired. In my opinion it doesn't matter at all when... 
what subs for merlin vsm-mx
From what my friend w. Merlins same as yours says, he was told by Bobby the Rel Britannia series. Sorry about using your amplifier. How do you like your Decco. I have a Hyperspace. Fremer didn't give it a positive review. 
EMM DCC2 vs Hi End Preamps
I am using a VTL 7.5 w. my EMM DAC 6e. In my system the 7.5 makes a huge difference. It is synergistic w. my amps. Prior I was using an active Placette. In my opinion one of hte best preamps there is. The VTL is simply a better match w. my VTL amp... 
Transparent Interconnect Question....
I have an exact suggestion. In your system try any cable that you can borrow in both balanced & unbalanced. You will then notice how much of a difference balanced makes. I tried Transparent in my system in several ways. The balanced didn't mak... 
VPI Scoutmaster or Nottingham Space Deck...?
What kind of music do you listen to? If you are happy w. the Ruby 2, the LP is supposed to be much improved. I had it & didn't like it. But I had a problem w. mine. I used a Koetsu Urushi on mine. I loved it until my cleaning women broke it. N... 
B&W 802D vs Wilson WATT Puppy
Bass definition on the WP7 is something definitely not lacking. Actualy IMHO it excels in bass speed & definition. 
B&W 802D vs Wilson WATT Puppy
I found the WP7 bass to have detail just not the last bit of bottom. A lot of it will depend on the remainder of your system. The WP7s will show off everything you put in. Currently I just put a lot into my system. I am "there" unexpectedly. All I... 
B&W 802D vs Wilson WATT Puppy
Jungsan,You might be right. I loved B&W in its time. It might be much better again. I know it is still a Kevlar midrange w. similar impedance so it might still should posses much of its original character. It might also posses a lot of new pos... 
B&W 802D vs Wilson WATT Puppy
Kw6,To be honest with you it is a tough call. Bass is very dependant on the room. WP7s which lack in bass often excel in imaging. They need to be 1/3 of the way into the room (approx). Not much reinforcement from the rear wall. As for B&W 802D... 
B&W 802D vs Wilson WATT Puppy
I want to, and plan to, listen to the Ds but no matter what will be biased to the 7s. My home system is so "there" that very few dealer systems will ever come close unless they let me set up the room. By the way I am not a diamond tweeter fan. I f... 
B&W 802D vs Wilson WATT Puppy
I owned both the Nautilus 801 using Krell FPB 600 w. upgraded mains & now the Watt Puppy 7s using the Krell & now VTL 750. It is an unfair comparisoin considering the price. But I will agree that the Watt Puppy 7s are a much better speaker... 
Wilson Alexandria X-2 with ML N33???
Chris I am waiting to post some comparisons shortly. They should be installed tomorrow morning. Unfortunately I have to work. I just want to make sure it all works & arrived in one piece. I am curious if the VTL is worth the extra over the Pla... 
Wilson Alexandria X-2 with ML N33???
Chris,Thanks for the advise. I was lusting the Maxx IIs. The sub is arriving tomorrow w. my VTL 7.5 preamp. I will post in a few days my impressions of the subwoofer in & out & the VTL 7.5 vs. the Placette (you didn't help me to not do the... 
Amp stands for Krell 450 monos?
I would say yes. I had a FPB 600. Once I placed it on a steel beem cut to the size of the Krell (placed on tile over concrete floor) the sound improved a tremendous amount. Also a nice upgrade for little to no money. I Also liked that the amps wer... 
Audio Aero Capitole 24/192 vs the MKII version cdp
From what I have been told the MK III will have the software upgraded by USB. I guess you would put the software on a USB key & then update the unit. I have done that w. my Canon 20D camera without any issue. Actually it takes about 3 minutes ...
