| BAT5i .preamp vs Sonic Frontier Line 3 If you can find one get Lamm Industries LL2. It is the 2nd best preamp out there. Period. Lamm L1 is the best pre out there. I have owned most the so called recommended exotic preamps and until recently I never knew how compromised they are compar... | |
| Best speaker for classical music ? I am familiar with all those speaker that you named except the Totem. You cannot go wrong with any of them. You should look at the Proac models in this price range as well. Final decision is really up to you. The rest of your system will have a di... | |
| Advise Needed for Speakers and Amplifier In your price range, you should definitely look at the VAC integrated amplifier. It is extremely musical and far better than any solid state integrated out there. If tubes are not your cup of tea, listen to the Pilinius 8150. You might get a sligt... | |
| Integrated amps $3,000 There is really only amplifier in the $3000 range: the Pilinius 8150. A really fine, musical amplifier. But you can also try to find a Jeff Rowland Concentra. It would be around your price point 2nd hand, | |
| Best system for B&W Nautilus 802 ? Totally avoid the Krells. B&W and Krell is a match made in hell! At this price range you should also look at the Lamm 1.1 and L1 combiantion. The best electronics in the world. | |
| integrated amps $1500-$2200 Try the YBA DT. It is a very musical sounding integrated amplifier for about $2100. I have seen them 2nd hand on Audiogon for about half. You should explore this as one of your possibilities. | |
| Need system for the new B&W Nautilus 802 Which Krell or ML. What is your budge? Do you need CD & Dac too? What about cables? rgds, david "damokanyc@aol.com" | |
| Best Small Speaker NOT B&W's 805N? Hi! Lamm's web site is www.lammindustries.com. You should look at their site & read some of their reviews. If you are interested, a home demo could be arranged through my dealer here. My e-mail is davidknyc@aol.com | |
| Bi-Wire Speaker Cables Suggestions Try the Harmonic Technology's Pro-9 Biwire. It is as good if not better than most exotic cables out there and the price is reasonable as well. Very musical & detailed. | |
| Revel Gems, which preamp, what next? I just posted a response for your questions in your other forum (B&W speakers) regarding system building. Change your front end & your dealer first. Then you owe it to yourself to listen to Lamm or VAC electronics to before making any purc... | |
| Best Small Speaker NOT B&W's 805N? Hi. You should audition the Proac Response 1 before purchasing the revels. It will surprise you and save you a lot of money as well. I am quite familiar with both the Revels & the Proacs. You will not miss out on anything if you listen to the ... | |
| Best Preamp under 10K Listen to Lamm L1. Then compare it to the best Mark Levinson, Krell, Audio Research, etc. including the CAT. I promise you will be amazed how much better Lamm is. | |
| Whats the best type of digital cable? In my experience any good 70 or 100 ohm coax cable, RCA or XLR terminated will sound better, more musical, and a lot less grainy than optical connections. Of course the opposite will be true if you use bad coax cable. | |
| Serious about sound? How can you be serious about sound when you use Krellllll! Ugh! The only reason you prefer the sound of your Martin Logan's over the Divas is that they are not as revealing and transparent as the Apogees. The Divas let you know exactly what shit K... | |
| The best sounding FM Tuner is..... I own a Fanfare Ft-1. The presentation, soundstaging & tonal balance is near or the same as most of high end cd reproductions sytems given the right signal. With poor signal or crap quality broadcasts it fares no better than less expensive tun... |
