| Anyone have their system insured? I agree with Tireguy. Chubb does a very good job with esoteric assets and collections of all types. You can itemize your system, photograph it and value it at replacement and if you are unlucky, they are very good at replacement. The more it is wo... | |
| Revel Studios- amplfier suggestions please I have a Krell fpb 300cx and I think the combination is great. I previously used bryston 4bst, and while it was good, the Krell is better by a measurable margin. good luck. | |
| Thiel CS6 / Dali MS4 tryout at home is very important for these speakers. I have thiels and dalis and like them both, but ...the thiels are much more complicated to drive imho. If you do not have the exact required amplification, the dalis are much easier. I also thin... | |
| lexicon mc-8 or krell hts 7.1?? For what it is worth, I was a lexicon user and switched to krell primarily for music. I think lexicon is fine in ht only, but imho clearly inferior for two ch. I use Krell amps and revel studios and love the hts 7.1. I also think that Harmon's hig... | |
| Opinions on Thiel CS2? I have owned cs2 since 1990. I have always liked them, and i find thiel to be very durable, so I would not worry. Also, the factory is very helpful, so if there is a problem, they will find a solution. I prefer the 2's to many of the thiel models ... | |
| Any body hear the new improved Merlins at CES? Bobby, ignore the criticism. As they say in the slang "spitballs at a battleship". I am curious to know whether you went with an audionote or a audio aero dac/player. I am trying to match the best dac that I can with your speakers and would love t... | |
| Merlin VSM-M or VSM-MX vs. Kharma CRM3.2 series I cannot comment on the Kharma as i do not own them, but I can comment on the merlin vsm m and bobby so I will. He is a musician and I have had the opportunity to have many interactions with equipment and musicians like Bobby. (Ihave worked in pro... | |
| ipod and dac? It does appear that the iriver models have digital in and out, which should make them work with a dac. I would suppose that would ameliorate the compression problem to a degree. does anyone have experience with the iriver models?I do understand th... | |
| Totem Hawk vs. Forest totem regularly shows it's products with Plinius at the shows. There are used integrateds on audiogon regularly. | |
| Revel F30 with Bryston 4B-ST and tube pre-amp I had excellent success with the f50 and the 4bst. I upgraded to krell and studios, but I would not be at all concerned about what you are suggesting. | |
| anyone have speaker grilles for revel studios? Larry, thanks for your idea. I will do as you suggested, and keep you posted, but I am skeptical. The whole harman high end family seems to be in significant disarray/decline given the move from connecticut to mass, and the death of proceed. Revel... | |
| Best sounding cd's everything by steely dan. They obviously take extra care in recording and production. | |
| vocal distortion on Jayhawk's Rainy Day Music I am glad you mentioned this. I actually was wondering if my speakers had developed a problem when I heard it. I am sure it sounds ok on the radio or in a car, and maybe that was the intent. I certainly will not buy another. | |
| Integrated for my Aerial 7B's ? I would be skeptical of any integrated for the 7bs for maximum performance. While they are a very good speaker, they clearly need power and lots of it, and even the krell/class/mf integrateds may not be enough to make them sing. I eventually sold ... | |
| Dealer needs input, next wave of gear? I too would agree that there is a real market for this type of product. Not everyone needs all the flexibility possible, but would really value a linn type product at a less stratospheric price point. |
