How to bi-amp with 2 two-channel amps?
Probably one amp for highs and the other for lows (vertical bi-amping) is best, but, depending on what amps these are, that may not be the case.A lot of 2 channel amps dont perform well when they are bridged. i.e. one amp for the left speaker and ... 
Speaker upgrade itch Opinions 2500$used
Mburns is right, the MLs sound great. Very 3D. Precise imaging. But like all electrostats, you better give them a listen. They arent everyones cup of tea. Also, they can dominate a room, although not deep they are tall and wide.Using your previous... 
Whats wrong with short cables?
I asked my Fiancee, she says "short cables" lack depth and definitely have presentation shortcomings. =) Lucky for me, I receive about 100 emails a day on how to "lengthen my cable." 
Speaker Cables for B&W CDM 7SE
Hello Discgolfer, welcome to A'gon. I havent tried disc golf yet but it looks like a ton of fun. I bet there arent 700 old farts in plaid milling about on the course either. Well, in case you stumble over a pile of pirate loot on your way to work,... 
WOW, check out these BW Nautilus clone speakers.
I cant quite tell but, that looks like a Vifa Ring radiator tweeter, which is ultra-expensive. Along with Seas mid and woof. Very neat looking. I assume the math is a nightmare to get right on those enclosures. 
Tube Equipment: Gimmick?
Jiwitin, Thats a respectable point of view and you're right, this is an amusing thread. I agree, B & Ws can be very revealing. Here's where we dont agree. You assume tubes are inaccurate. Not that the inaccuracies are illegitimate, they are ju... 
Tube Equipment: Gimmick?
I am really enjoying my tube output CDP. But, I do have a SS outboard DAC and SS Pre/Pro with its own DAC, so I have a selection. I find myself "selecting" the tubes more often than not.For me, with some recordings the "mellower" and less "forward... 
Lexicon MC8 vs Bryston SP1.7 pre amp
I dont think Lexicon is well regarded for its 2 channel capabilities. I know thats an assumption but it seems to be the consensus. I auditioned thoroughly for my pre/pro, it had to do 2 channel well. I compared many Processors in the $4000.00 or l... 
Bryston 4B St vs newer SST
I have the 4B-ST, and am currently deciding on whether to get a 4B-SST or 6B-SST, its in a home theatre and I could really use 3 channels. I have a thread languishing without any replies currently, no worries.I have heard the 4B-SST, I can verify ... 
A serious blow to Canadian audiophiles, must read
"warriorers".....LOL. I am sorry I just couldnt resist. I know, I know, I misspell as well. Its just the context, I couldnt refuse. 
How many audiophiles bi wire their speakers????
I bi-wire my B & W CDM-9NTs. Marginal improvement. 
Power Cords Snake Oil ??
Hmm, maybe this is more of a Dixon-Lerche conjecture. Corona's PCs postulate that, identical properties exist even though none of us seem to agree on them.Or......Maybe we all reside in one of the, is it 9 other dimensions, that "String theory" re... 
DVD Audio Connections
Russ_I, yeap proprietary hi-rez transfer is on the way. Which means that maybe, just maybe we will have some standardization. Firewire is a great choice too. DVD-A's bandwidth can be handled by a single coaxial, but would be better served by two. ... 
Pass Labs X250 vs Bryston 4BSST vs CJ MF2500A?
Hold on a sec, I see you have Matrix 802s. Champagne head I guess. FWIW, I heard these amps on Nautilus 802s, not that it makes much difference. Both are fine speakers. 
Pass Labs X250 vs Bryston 4BSST vs CJ MF2500A?
Hello Steve, I have heard all of the amps you mentioned on your exact speakers. Allthough my system is nowehere near the highest level I am constantly improving when and where I can. At the time, those(N802s) where the speakers I was building towa...
