| Will Creek 5350 SE drive Magnepan 1.6QR? Accepted. Were you having a bad day :-) | |
| Will Creek 5350 SE drive Magnepan 1.6QR? I have learned that in discussion forums when comments become personal the discussion usually comes to a bad end. It coming to an end then is good though because if the issues raised, and the opionons expressed are not addressed it just becomes a ... | |
| Monitor Audio GR10 speakers? A couple things to consider:Devide the longest room dimension into 565 to arrive at the maximum low frequency the room is capable of accomodating. Anything lower will distort all frequencies above it and degrade even the mids and highs.Enclosed ca... | |
| Food for thought/Opinions please I hear you. But consider if the change you perceive is not rather moral. Lower standards always result in society dumbing down to its baser instincts.Consider if that may not explain even more than you addressed about the culture we see becoming s... | |
| Cables for B&W and Rotel system. Says the nasayer, who would have you contiue the futile attempt to achieve anything worthwhile with the wire that connects two components together, rather than focus on the components, especially speakers, their setup and room conditions, and the ... | |
| Will Creek 5350 SE drive Magnepan 1.6QR? OKAudiophiles, like anything else I suppose, can be divided into two camps. The one, those who for some reason have been persuaded into using their playback system to mix and modify the music they play. Ever searching for that 'sound' that is supp... | |
| Will Creek 5350 SE drive Magnepan 1.6QR? Are you implying that there is NO difference in I/C's, speaker cables, and power cords? No. I am saying that any 'sound' a component has is distortion. Even it is a distortion that 'sounds good', or is pleasing, to the listener.The 'sound' of a ca... | |
| Will Creek 5350 SE drive Magnepan 1.6QR? I do not think it is wise to go by what you hear on a forum. Notice the varied and conflicting opinions. Very little, if any, concensus on anything. A majority of 'audiophiles' are out of their tree, I don't care how much they spend. A total lack ... | |
| Power amp for a 98 DB speakers from 60Hz up Key: low distortion (<0.1%) I believe C-J and most of the 'popular' brands have very high distortion. Hense, the coveted 'warm' sound. Those 'connoissers of coloration', I don't know. You could put cotton in your ears, or hang a blanket over th... | |
| Power amp for a 98 DB speakers from 60Hz up ATI is well built amp with exemplery specs: incredibly low distortion (<0.005% over 5hz-50khz THD and IMD) if you are into 'true to the original' in playback.Another accurate amp (at 175wpc) is the Muse 160, and there is always the vintage Hafl... | |
| Will Creek 5350 SE drive Magnepan 1.6QR? Its about power. The speaker mfgr gives a range recommendation. There is a concensus that if you go a little above the minimum recomendation it can offer a sense of 'ease' at higher levels of playback, but do not get too close, or for sure exceed,... | |
| Cables for B&W and Rotel system. If you ask a dozen different people you will get a dozen different, and equally ethusiastic, recomendations. That tells us something. Are we listening.I have about as 'hi-end' a system as is possible, and use Radio Shack Megawire for speakers, and... | |
| I want to upgrade to a bi-amp setup. Concerning the amp, itself: Bryston has great specs (though pricy) and is comparable to Muse 160, ATI, or even the vintage Hafler DH-200/220 amps. Or, remember the BEL 1001? I have not seen on the market lately.Jeff Rowland makes accurate amps too... | |
| Is Kimber 8TC a significant upgrade from 8PR? The VTL amps do not have very good specs. High distortion. Moving to a relatively distortion free amp, say, THD and IMD in the vicnity of <0.005%, instead of the 1-2% of so many so called high-end products, will be significant. Where cables, to... | |
| Speaker cables for Mac MC60s I do not understand all the talk about matching a cable with a component. Its a wire to connect them together. If you want to use your system to mix the source material in some way or another, for whatever reason, then there must be more effective... |
