| Do speakers wear out? Personal experience:I owned four AR-LST's (later called Cello Amati's) for over 20 years. Other than replacing the woofers due to surrounds and the grill cloth, they worked perfectly and sounded great.I now own B&W800's that are about 10 years... | |
| 110V/50Hz equipment in a 220V/60Hz country. I just tried selling a piece of equipment (bass alignment filter) to a country with 50hz. The potential buyer contacted the company (B&W) and they said that the difference in cycles would burn up the transformer.That being said; I would make s... | |
| Best three way cross over? Big question! It sounds like it might be a perfect time to consider actively bi-amping your speakers. Using the active x-over between the bass and mids, would eliminate that part of you x-over causing problems. (By the way, you didn't mention your... | |
| Depth of sound stage--I need help Are you primarily concerned with the depth of the sound stage or pinpoint imaging? They are very different concerns. I own a large Krell setup driving the biggest B&W's. My imaging is "to die for", yet my soundstage is often not particularly d... | |
| AudioPrism CD Blacklight I have one. I use it only occasionally. I find little or no difference with or without it. I have had no trouble or rotational problems, just that it is a little pain to use. I even bought a round flourecent black light to charge it.I use the gree... | |
| Question about Wilson Witt Speakers My experience is somewhat limited but to my ears they were a wonderful speaker. They did not disappear as the Watt/Puppies can do (which I think is the biggest highlight of the W/P).The original Witt's had a problem with the finish. It was a BAD p... | |
| sunfire sig 600,krell 300fpb,levinson 333,what do you think The Krell and the Levinson are in a different class than the Sunfire. The Krell FPB300 is a newer design than the Levinson 333 and to my ears a much better choice. A harder choice would be between the FPB and the Levinson 336.Have fun. (I own the ... | |
| Need a quality Y-adapter for bi-amping Contact BOB at the Cable Co. He can custom make you one out of your favorite cable. | |
| Is a 12' X 16' room big enough for stereo? Your biggest problem may not be how small it is but the relationship between the dimensions. If it is 8ft high then you have 8X12X16 which could be terrible at certain frequencies. They are all evenly divisible by 4 and two are evenly divisible by... | |
| Best amp for B W Matrix 805 Without a doubt, the best amp for your speakers, as well as any other, is a pair of the Krell Master Reference Amplifiers. Of course the $125,000 price tag may not be in your budget.I do know that B&W now uses Krell amps to voice their "N" lin... | |
| Help I need some speaker suggestions I agree completely with Lev335! Go for used B&W802 series III. I usually tell perspective speaker buyers this: 80% of all classical music is mastered on B&W speakers. So if you are considering several speakers and one of them is a B&W,... | |
| BW Nautilus 805, better to have them ported or sealed Good question. B&W has the largest research facility of ANY speaker company in the world. I wouldn't fool with the basics of their design unless you really have a lot of knowledge of design. That said, what you want to do can easily be teste... | |
| Re: Dedicated Lines I am a big believer in dedicated lines! ... The more the better, but the biggest difference will be with the 1st. I have three: one for the front end and one for EACH of my large Krell amps. (one 20 amp and two 30 amp lines) As far as your questio... | |
| Red Rose R3s vs. Proac 1sc vs. Dynaudio 1.3SE I have heard the Red Rose in the showroom demonstrated by "the master" himself, Mark Levinson. I have never known anyone that can do a demo better than him, whether it was Red Rose or Cello. Although they are totally different design concepts, the... | |
| Buying Hi-End CD Player or Transport.. I agree with Tacs! I use the EAD T-7000 transport as my front end of a VERY, VERY expensive system, and am very happy. Over the years, I have upgraded every other part of my system except the EAD. It was a true bargain even at its new price.Richard |
