| What do you think is the best power-amp between B&W speakers and Chord DAVE @tension255 Actually Naim electronics would pair really well with B&W. B&W is very forward sounding speakers and Naim electronics are laid back warm smooth very refined but still excel in PRAT. They will mate really well IMO. I sugges... | |
| Monitor Audio Gold 200 5g (newest current generation) vs Dynaudio Contour 20 When I bought these MA Gold 200 5g compact floorstanders over a year ago the port plugs are missing since these were floor model. I have tried positioning and still the bass is somewhat overwhelmed due to my small room size. | |
| Monitor Audio Gold 200 5g (newest current generation) vs Dynaudio Contour 20 I’m not a huge fan of MA but I do like the new latest generation of the Gold 5g and the new latest generation of Platinum ii series. But I never liked their previous generations and found them too forward and bright to my tastes.Okay I will give F... | |
| Monitor Audio Gold 200 5g (newest current generation) vs Dynaudio Contour 20 @erik_squires I don't stream via Roon. I listen to mostly CD & SACD on my Cary CD 306 SACD player. I do enjoy the laid back sound the the warmth and smoothness of my MA Gold 200 5g. | |
| What do you think is the best power-amp between B&W speakers and Chord DAVE @tension255 What kind of B&W speakers do you have?You know Rotel & Classe amps would mate really well with B&W, depending on your budget. But Classe Delta series amps are huge and you said you have limited rack space? Then a used Clas... | |
| Monitor Audio Gold 200 5g (newest current generation) vs Dynaudio Contour 20 @secretguy Cause the Dynaudio Contour 20 are a pair of standmount so will be more suitable for my small listening room size. | |
| Monitor Audio Gold 200 5g (newest current generation) vs Dynaudio Contour 20 @erik_squires But my listening room is very small (12 x 12) and I feel like my MA Gold 200 5g compact floorstanders are too big for my room size and the bass are overwhelmed, thus the need for standmount speakers. I use room acoustic treatments in... | |
| Monitor Audio Gold 200 5g (newest current generation) vs Dynaudio Contour 20 @arch2 The new latest generation of MA Gold 200 5g (5th gen) like the ones I have now are warm laid back and smooth sounding speakers, unlike the previous generation of MA Gold series 4g (4th gen) that are forward and rather bright sounding. These... | |
| Monitor Audio Gold 200 5g (newest current generation) vs Dynaudio Contour 20 @mofojo I listen to jazz, female jazz vocalists, contemporary jazz, acoustic music, classical/symphony, classical rock (progressive rock), some older pop music and few contemporary ones, some blues sometimes. I have listed my electronic equipments... | |
| Monitor Audio Gold 200 5g (newest current generation) vs Dynaudio Contour 20 @erik_squires I found the seller who’s selling a used pair of Dynaudio Contour 20 on eBay so demoing the speakers is impossible. I live in Seattle and while we do have a Dynaudio dealer here but they don’t have the Contour 20 for demo, all they ha... | |
| Cary Audio SA 200.2 SE power amp (latest version) @yowser Do you normally leave the SA 200.2 ES amp on standby when not in use? Or do you normally turn off the main power switch on the back of the amplifier completely when the amp is not in use? Or simply just turn off the power button on the fro... | |
| Cary Audio SA 200.2 SE power amp (latest version) @yowser Perhaps Cary has fixed the issue with the ES model. | |
| Cary Audio SA 200.2 SE power amp (latest version) @mitch2 Thank you for sharing your experiences. Much appreciated. So these newer SA 200.2 & 500.1 amps were designed by Dennis Had then? I’m still using the Cary CD 306 SACD player (latest version) in my setup. This is an older player and I be... | |
| Cary Audio SA 200.2 SE power amp (latest version) @yowser Thank you for all the info. Curious if you had a faint humming or buzzing issue with the newer Cary SA 200.2 ES amp. Few people had this issue but I think they had the original SA 200.2 (non ES) amp. They said there’s a faint buzz or hum c... | |
| Cary Audio SA 200.2 SE power amp (latest version) @yowser So you’re implying that the Cary SA 200.2 SE sounded a bit like a tube amp? Or maybe because you have it paired with a tube pre. Did you ever have the amp paired with SS pre? I have a Classe Sigma SS preamp but am planning to get the PS Au... |
