| VANDERSTEEN 3 A SPEAKERS I wonder why the oscillation occurs with only solid state amp. Sounds like a strange interaction btw Vandy's 1st order cross over hi-freq load and solid state amp.Perhpas when both hi-freq and low-freq are connected to the same amp, there are some... | |
| VANDERSTEEN 3 A SPEAKERS The Vandy speakers manual actually talked about how to bi-amp. I don't see how the sound can be worse if amps are identical. Easy to achieve with solid state, not so easy w/ tube amp w/o auto-biased circuit.Trying different amps however will cause... | |
| Word of advice on upgraditis improvements Had Anthem AVM-20 + MCA5 amp. Actually downgraded to a Denon receiver but with HDMI 1.3 capability. The sound quality is good but not great for music. Excellent for theater which is what this set up is.The biggest improvement is friendlier user in... | |
| Give up on Thiel 3.6 or try another amp again ? I used to own a pair of Thiel 3.6 about 10 years ago. Had it with a few combination. Aragon 4004mk2, Levinson 23.5 and Levinson 333. They all work with varying degree of success.I would suggest playing with placement before spending more money. Th... | |
| Best budget preamp for Aragon 8008bb and Thiel 3.6 Forgot to mentioned that I actually had a vary similar system about 9 yrs ago. CJ PV10A -> Aragon 4004 mk2 -> Thiel 3.6.Great sound stage. Not the most transparent sounding system I have owned but the music is all there.Going with some NOS f... | |
| Best budget preamp for Aragon 8008bb and Thiel 3.6 Ditto on CJ PV10a, but if you need a remote. Try an used Sonic Frontier Line-1. | |
| Flat Anechoic Measured Frequency Response Speakers It's amazing to see that some of my favorite speakers tend to have similar frequency response: Dynaudio and Thiel. The impedeance plot is very helpful in matching amp.Coincident speaker definitely is very friendly toward SET amp while Thiel and Dy... | |
| Is iPod Digital Output Possible? What's the price on the DLO? I can't find a release date or retail price. | |
| Why are hi-end active monitors not more popular? I have been using a pair of Dynaudio BM5A for about 1 year now. Bel Canto DAC3 with a DVD player as a transport. These speakers are amazing sound quality for the price. Clarity and details without harshness. Not much bass of course but I don't nee... | |
| Which HT reveiver to replace Nak av-10? Just installed a Denon 3808Ci yesterday. Replaced an Anthem AVM-20 + 5 amp setup. It's a very complicated piece of receivers with lots of switching capabilities. Retail for $1600. Denon 2808Ci is slightly less expensive for $1200. It has slightly ... | |
| Review for Dynaudio BM5A powered pro speakers Shardorne, I don't think the initial difference comes from tube vs. solid state. Within its power limit, Dared VP-845 is not euphonic at all. It's actually slightly on the bright side. IMHO, the treble is not grating because there is less odd harm... | |
| Speakers small enough for desktop use Zaikesman,You have a very specific need. All driver's high and low freq output must be integrated by the time it hits your ear. This is not often not found in normal high-end speakers.For small < $1k near field monitor, I would suggest pro-audi... | |
| Speakers with Cary 300 SEI If you don't listen to very loud level, anything with >80 dB will work as long as impedance is relatively flat. So just pick the speakers that you like and make sure it's a flat 4 or 8 Ohms speakers. So the choice is actually quite numerous.Pro... | |
| Speakers with Cary 300 SEI What is the size of the room and expected loudness level? This will usually dictate efficiency requirement. Cary 300SEI only has 12-15 watts at 8ohms. So figure at least 89-91 dB flat 8-Ohms speakers for a mid-size room for moderate loudness.Monit... | |
