| Why do no audio enthusiasts use McIntosh? As in former post I do believe that Mac is good gear, however both their preamps and amps are slightly on the dark and slow side for me. I think that for example CAT gear is significantly better.And I work for a mac dealer! | |
| Vandersteen 3A sig. Placement and Room Sensitive? Ok. THanks guys, that helps. | |
| Good musical speakers that go low? Help Actualy its probably going to be two different systems but thanks tvad. | |
| Why do no audio enthusiasts use McIntosh? My own experince: I used to work at a store which sold both Mac and Sunfire, among others. We demoed these lots and the Mac kills the Sunfire. No doubts. However, Mac tube gear with the stock tubes (275 2102...) was killed by a Air tight amp we br... | |
| B&W Signature 800 Vs. the new 800D Diamond I have listened to the 803D's and I can say with all confidence that the tweeters in these are better. Base to me seems a bit tighter as well, but that could just be a new speaker. Just my 2 cents. | |
| HELP best analog system brand new for $5,000.00 Hmmmm,Beware of buying equipment on "sale", avoid the temptation to buy something because it is 20% off (or whatever). Think of the value of the equipment and not a discount. Most places still make money even if they "say" its 50 % off. Guess what... | |

Move just a few feet and they loose something. Well not just something, but they loose everything! They... | |

| Meadowlark Ospreys II ? Low Feq. Response? I agree, if you can in or close to the sweet spot the Silver sigs are amazing! But in todays dollars they are probably a pair of 12,000$! | |
| Low freq. from small drivers? Is it possible hmmm, very interesting! For example: So the base out of a twin 6.5 like the b&W Naut 804, could be good, but not great. | |
| Meadowlark Ospreys II ? Low Feq. Response? Thanks!Yep thats me with the silver sigs. Do not get me wrong the silver sigs are one of the best speakers ever produced. However, the listening window for them is very small. If your are in it, great! If not, so-so, and I want more base in a spea... | |
| Meadowlark Ospreys II ? Low Feq. Response? ACK! Hmmm, that worries me! How far from the wall behind them were they? Was this different than the dealers? | |
