| KEF "Q"uestion I used to sell those. At the price, there is nothing to complain about, but my recollection of these is they are a mass market model with low cabinet density, cheesy crossover components, and middling sound quality…and an early generation UniQ dr... | |
| Why so many B & W Speakers on the used market? High end buyers tend to be older. Older people tend to die, or downsize their living spaces. Surviving spouses may not have shared their deceased husband’s hobby. Generalizing, but in my area of Eastern Massachusetts we see a lot of this. | |
| New Product - Schiit Byggy DAC Details I also like their philosophy of not making their stuff bigger (and so more expensive) than the innards demand. I love small, cute components. | |
| Speakers for Mc240 Look into an AVA FET-Valve CFR all tube line preamp. $2299.00 For speakers, the Fritz Carbon 7 SE have a smooth impedance curve and are a perfect match with any tube amp. $2950.00 per pair and you’ll want some sturdy 24” stands. | |
| MBL Insolvent Past innovators like Peter Walker, Henry Kloss, Nelson Pass, and Jim Winey made products that while some were “upscale” they were within the reach of enthusiasts who were not super- wealthy. The idea that innovative speaker design has to be crazy ... | |
| Home-Made Multi-Subwoofer S.W.A.R.M System I thought 4 was the magic number for a SWARM array. | |
| Adding an extra 1ft to premium speaker cables The wiring inside your speakers is probably not as premium as your cables, so I dout the final foot will do much to degrade the sound. Go to your local retailer and buy 4 feet of AQ or Transparent 12-2 custom install cable, get some BFA bananas fo... | |
| Battle of the affordables Wharfedale Super Lintons would be on my short list. | |
| Best Receiver for “Mid-Fi” System? The latest generation of better Sony receivers have a greatly upgraded HDMI input section, so an STRAZ5000 would be my suggestion. The amp is a beast also. Dust off your audio engineering degree, though...its packed with options. | |
| Phono Stage - The great analog tragedy I remember attending a Boston Audio Society meeting in the late 70s at which Tomlinson Holman spoke on what prompted him to re-think his ideas on phono preamp design, which led to the Advent 300 receiver's much ballyhooed MM section, and later the... | |
| All-in-One (Streamer/DAC/Amp) - Powernode vs WiiM amps PowerNode2 superseded the original, so it has been updated. Its output rating is “load invariant” so same at 4and 8 ohms…it will drive 4 ohms fine if you’re not expecting it to behave like a Krell. WiiM provides a great feature set at a very good ... | |
| Connecting McIntosh Preamp to Yamaha AS 3200 - Do I use both XLR Bal 1 and Bal 2? dman77, If you connect the C12000 XLR output to to either BAL 1 or BAL 2 on the Yamaha, you aren't bypassing its preamp. To do so you need to use the RCA outputs of the C12000. If you can hear the difference between XLR and RCA, you are doing ... | |
| MacIntosh c12000 preamp - Can not tell a difference between tube and solid state sound Is your “2000a” an N-R2000A? Is YPAO engaged? | |
| Seller Silence Cleeds has it right. If the buyer wants this info, the seller cannot provide it, only the manufacturer or importer can. | |
| Speakers for 2nd System! In such a tiny room, why on earth do you need such sensitive speakers? The amp you have will do fine with typical <90dB compact monitors. Dali Menuet, Totem, ProAc, Harbeth, etc. |
