| Best speaker cables for longer runs Thanks for the suggestions. I currently use Nordost Blue Heaven, and like how they sound. However I find them very messy to work with, because they never really lie flat, get bent and crinkled, etc. I am also not sure I want to spend the money to ... | |
| GIK vs. Real Traps? Ngjockey:That was a really helpful post, just the sort of info I was looking for! I'd be interested in hearing more about what you think of these traps efficacy for low bass issues, and what you might recommend. | |
| GIK vs. Real Traps? I know both companies are popular hear and have a good reputation. I was looking to know what the differences were between the products. | |
| Anthem D2 or D2V the upgrade to the D2V is much more important if you have an older BD player that doesn't decode DTS-MA and Dolby TruHD to PCM. If you have a newer player, I would say the upgrade is not critical at all (as one who did it). | |
| B&W 802 N vs. D I've been thinking about what the "B&W sound" is. The folks here who think they sound slow remind of every time I've listened to the 801's (of various vintages). I always thought that was a poorly balanced speaker, with a ponderous bottom end.... | |
| B&W 802 N vs. D Bombaywalla:Do you think my Theta Dreadnaught II would be sufficient to cope with the issues you mention, or would it be more like the Classe in design?By the way, I enjoyed looking at the pictures of your Scintillas. Now that brings me back to an... | |
| B&W 802 N vs. D By the way, I should mention that one of the key issues for me is getting a center channel which is identical to the Right and Left front speakers. Not that easy to buy a single "uber-high-end" speaker. So if anyone is willing to sell me a single ... | |
| B&W 802 N vs. D I would like to "take back" my thread. I wish you folks could turn the emotion down a notch.My favorite all-time speakers (that I owned) were M-L CLS, I spent many years with them and a variety of subwoofing options. When I wanted to change to som... | |
| B&W 802 N vs. D Actually I currently have 5 803N's in my system, and am thinking about upgrading the front 3. Hence the question about comparing 802N and 802D. I could get either in red cherry to match my rear speakers.Not that I am permanently wedded to B&W,... | |
| B&W 802 N vs. D I owned WP 3/2 for many years. Have to say I think the 802N are better. Haven't listened to Wilson recently, but newer version would be much more expensive. | |
| Krell showcase or other 5 channel amp There are a couple of Proceed Amp 5's around. When I was a 2 channel guy, I had a Levinson 23.5 which was my all time favorite amp. How do the Proceed's stack up against the other amps we are discussing? Is buying an amp that old a good idea? | |
| Krell showcase or other 5 channel amp Also, does anyone have experience with the Edge GAV, other than the fact that Absolute Sound seems to love Edge? | |
| Krell showcase or other 5 channel amp Thanks for all your suggestions.It is amazing to me how controversial the Bryston amps are. I've never had a chance to hear them...I am also confused about those Earthquake amps. High power yes. Refined and transparent? What do people think?Has an... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? is the DAC in the 3910 actually better than the DACs in the 2900/5900? I know its newer, but I had the impression that it was cheaper and not as high quality. Am I correct? | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? personally, I think the quality of multichannel sound is superior, if identical speakers are used. Just listen to the new Mercury SACD's and compare the 3 channel mix.I assume you are right that there is no room for 5 channels of tubes , but I alw... |
