| McIntosh MC152 vs MC162 ...not to mention the 152 has plenty of headroom. Right up there with the best of the McIntosh amps. I have one in my office rig and fully enjoy the sound. 152/C47 with 805 d3’s. Hard combo to beat in a small space. | |
| Best song for immediate impact when presenting or testing? Another great song with lots going on Eugene Ruffolo - Brazil | |
| Best song for immediate impact when presenting or testing? Too many to list but the one playing right now; Jennifer Warnes - Joan of Arc. | |
| Do McIntosh dealers give discount on new models? It’s been nine months since purchased and my office system sounds better than I ever imagined; dead quiet, great low end, natural sounding mids, and highs from heaven. I am ecstatic with the synergies. I can’t imagine you not being extremely pleas... | |
| Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels I hung a couple of designer blankets on the wall behind my listening position (2.5 feet behind chair) which solved my room issues. Cost $0. | |
| Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels I am in the same “boat” as you with the exception of the toddler. My office measurements are the same as yours except I have 12’6” length. I’m running McIntosh seperates (MC152 and C47) and B&W 805d3 speakers. Sources are Oppo UDP-205 and MacB... | |
| Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K) Don’t let the B&W haters dissuade you from the new Diamonds. My office rig is McIntosh based consisting of MC152, C47, Oppo UDP-205, 805d3’s. The system is extremely easy to listen to for long periods; even at higher volumes. The new tweeter i... | |

| Recommendations for CD Player/DAC Combo For uninterrupted back ground music I utilize an old Yamaha 5disc DVD/CD changer which I run via optical connection through my Oppo UDP205 to take advantage of its stellar DAC then analog out to my Mc gear. I’m glad I kept the player after all tho... | |
| Recommendations for Ceiling Speakers After a familyroom remodel my better half “recommended “ we do away with the idea of floorstanders or bookshelf on stands therefore my search began for a competent in ceiling setup. Ultimately ended up with B&W 7 series as mains, 6 series for ... | |
| Subwoofer for Ayre AX-7e? I run two JL Audio E112’s in a 12’ x 11’ x 9’ room and they provide smooth musical bass with my 805S mains. Without the subs the bass was boomy and unnatural. Prior to moving this system into this new “small” room I was concerned the subs would be... | |
| 5-10k budget... so many choices I’m a bit surprised that no one mentioned good standmounters along with dual subs. My office system consists of a Yamaha RX-A3060, B&W 805S and dual JL Audio E-112 subs. Source is OPPO 105 and Tidal streaming. The 805’s and JL’s blend seamles... | |
| Any Bryston 4B3 amp owners out there? I went to my local hi-fi store to audition the Bryston with B&W 805d3 and 804d3 speakers. Must admit I was quite disappointed. However, it was also my first listen to the d3’s so I wasn’t sure if the culprit was the amp or speakers. We then ho... |
