Pre-AMP to Match a KRELL KSA-250s
I would go with Krell. Replaced a classic Forte F45 preamp with the KCT-3 and everything opened up. I was totally surprised . Always thought that preamp does not matter , but it does. Soundstage or midrange or treble was similar between different ... 
Vienna Acoustics or Proac
Guidocorona, I just stumbled on your post and your point really made sense. For one, I also own Proac R3 and it does not have the shortcoming that you said about bass hump. But it does have the quality of mid and mid-treble being too forward. Is i... 
Arcam DV 137 vs. Denon DVD 3910
I think it's a wash. I've heard at a friend's house an old Denon CD player and it really blows away my 3K Arcam DVD player. Don't know why. But that's the reality. Now, Krell is a diffent story. But the Krell Showcase is close to $5 (with HDMI) an... 
whats a good older hdcd cd player?
Arcam dv27. The HDCD performance is great. I mean really great. It's a big difference compare to when playing non-HDCD disc. Everything just comes out more lively; deep bass gets deeper and even image gets sharper. Used can be had for less than $5... 
Krell kav-400xi with show case dvd or dvd standad?
Hi W,Well I don't have the standard yet.But Showcase works great for me.I don't even have it connected to TV, Home Theater yet.Been strictly listenning to it through Krell 300i. Works great. I think it is the best combination if you pair Krell sou... 
Does anyone know anything about ProAc Studio 2's
I've just let go my Proac SuperTower, circa 79-80 and upgraded to Proac R3. If you live in the bay area, you can easily drive to Berkeley and have Audiovex replace it for you. Cost me much less than $150 to have all four woofers foam replaced. Nev... 
No bass in the Proac Response 3
This is response to previous two responses.Abramsmatch , yes I made sure that the connection were properly in phase.I even went ahead and followed instruction from one of the gentlemen who posted earlier and used a small AA battery to bias the woo... 
No bass in the Proac Response 3
I've waited for more than two weeks already for the woofer foam to break in or break up and now the sound has started to open up. Although as Shadorne has put it, I don't get the boomy sound with chest-pounding/in-you-face bass, the sound coming o... 
No bass in the Proac Response 3
I see. We'll see how it goes over the weekend. I send out report of how things pan out. 
No bass in the Proac Response 3
Hifibri, how could the sand filling change the internal volume of the cabinet when the cavity that contains the sand is totally separate from the other box that contains the drivers ? So this is the point that I don't quite get from all the techni... 
No bass in the Proac Response 3
Racamuti...Nope. Have not had burn-in time for the new woofer foams. Just picked up the drivers last weekend so probably not than 20 hours of playing. But really burn-in time for foam also. This is the first I've heard. Thanks, Ducchau. 
No bass in the Proac Response 3
Thanks a lot for all the quick response. I've had the Response 3 for about more than a month and the surprising thing that I found is that when the 6.5" midwoofer was tearing up, the treble was the first to go ( very surprising). SO I've had all t...
