| Benchmark AHB2 amplifier - what to expect? I would like to add to the discussion regarding the strong reactions to the AHB2 and other amps. I find that audiophiles (but never reviewers! LOL) present strong, hyperbolic statements in regards to components or systems that represent emotional... | |
| Quad ESL-63 and low-powered amps; Sun Audio, Atma willemj, is it just me, or are you changing your opinion in regard to amps as you gain experience. If my memory serves me correctly you were stating in the past that all amps sound the same at matched level. However, here you are discussing differ... | |
| Benchmark AHB2 amplifier - what to expect? I just finished my review of the Benchmark DAC3 DX and AHB2. They were extremely good with the hybrid horn PureAudioProject Trio15 Horn 1 Speaker (also reviewed). I wasn't sure how well the class AAA technology would work with the horn, but it was... | |
| Pure Audio Project Loudspeaker with Voxativ driver option I have finished the review of the Benchmark DAC3 DX and AHB2, both of which were used with the Trio15 Horn 1. I very much liked that combination. | |
| RMAF vs AXPANO AXPONA. Chicago, around April. It's on the web. Good show, lot's to see. New venue this year, so jury's out on room sound. | |
| JBL 4429, deep bass ? I am not going to take the time to compare the two speakers you mention, but an speaker which does 40Hz at -6dB does not play low bass, imo. YMMV Even if it were rated at 40Hz +/-3dB it still wouldn't play deep bass. It's a 12" woofer in a 15x25x1... | |
| Let's talk power cords Pay little attention to someone who will not compare cables or show their system here. Their opinions are pretty well worthless when it comes to establishing superior audio systems. | |
| mono block or bi-amps which would you pick? Mono is better, except in instances where it is not. | |
| Who makes budget speaker cables which are truly “good” or “exceptional” in quality? janewyman, I looked on Bryston's site; I see a 12AWG speaker cable, but I do not see a "quad 12" totaling 9AWG. Can you post a link or refer me to this? I appreciate it. | |
| Move your sub I brought mine from the corners of the front to nearly mid-room, flanking the main speakers and closer to the listening chair, and it has been superior. | |
| Really satisfied??? I use constructive dissatisfaction to derive more satisfaction. | |
| Upgrading form Pass integrated amplifier to a better one Rethink your source. | |
| Musician vs. audiophile Imo, the correct solution; time for a hybrid speaker system. Consider a hybrid horn along the lines of the PureAudioProject Trio15 Horn 1 (reviewed). You will not find agreement on sound between the dynamic and panel sound, likely�. A hybrid can g... | |
| Bi Wire vs Speaker Jumpers Single wired better. Sometimes.Biwired better. Sometimes. Jumpers better. Sometimes. | |
| Help with Stereo Setup Uberwaltz is correct; the amps are "mono" or mono block amps, which means each one drives only the respective speaker, Left or Right. They are not intended ever to be used individually for two speakers. Your dad had only the note regarding the Rig... |
