| Suggest a sub amp to power NHT 2.9 bass? Two SA2 sub amps would work.Also, THX rated amps have gain controls per channel. So you can use a normal 2 channel amp like the Parasound HCA1500 205x2 or the 1000A 130x2.And yes, you would be passively biamping (and must remove the jumpers on the... | |
| Best bass response in under $1500 used towers I third NHT 3.3s (or 2.9s under $1000 used).Paradigm Studio 100s have 7inch drivers.NHT 2.9s have 10inch.3.3s have 12inch. It's not even close in terms of bass response between 3.3s and Studio 100s.Stratus Goldi towers (with dual 8.5inch?) have al... | |
| Aragon Palladium vs 8008BB? Aerial 10Ts are even a tougher load than 3.3s. You would think the $9000 retail Pass Labs X350 is better than the $2000 8008ST! I think the Palladiums would be closer to the X350 in "palpability" or other highend sonics.I ended up getting a great ... | |
| nht vs cerwin vega The Citation four channel 5.1 100x4 and 7.1 150x4 amps (designed, made, serviced side-by-side Proceed amps) are great too, hugely discounted (selling for less the 1/3 of original $1850 and $2800 retail prices), with under-rated power. Use 3 channe... | |
| nht vs cerwin vega You can get a used HK Signature 2.1 110x5 amp for ~ $400 ---- use four channels to passively biamp the 2.5i mains (to get more juice and SPL) and the 5th channel to drive an NHT Audiocenter1 center. You should still get a powered subwoofer for the... | |
| Please Recommend 5 ch Amp that... Used Aragon 8008x5 "under-rated" 200x5. Balanced, large 2.5kVA power transformer, 110 pound monster, retail $4200. | |
| Anyone know of a good transport for the Ack dAck ? Parasound CDC-1500 with ADAM upgrade:http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?dgtlplay&1095548897 | |
| Differences between Aragon Palladium Models The II's and 1K amps are identical internally.I think you can tell the II's from the I's by looking at the writing on the back of the amps. The I's are based on the 4004 series and the other two based on the 8008 series. You can find more info on ... | |
| $2500 amp and pre/pro Aragon Soundstage lacking in dynamics? That's something new for me and four others who have owned it (between us, we have owned 60+ 5.1 capable components). We all bought the Soundstage for dynamics, clarity/detail, and soundstage. If the 8008x5 i... | |
| $2500 amp and pre/pro I have an Aragon Soundstage with the upgrade. The upgrade was to 7.1 (with the Aragon Stage One's digital section minus the THX); however, Aragon is out of upgrade kits, so you can't upgrade at this time. However, the stock Soundstage is fantastic... | |
| NHT 3.3 or Mirage M1Si? I've owned 3.3s for 4 years. They still bring a joy to my face everytime I sit down, turn down the lights, and listen to my favorite tunes. The 3.3s do benefit as the electronics get better. Just get a good 200+ wpc amp like the Aragon 8008BB (~12... | |
| Arcam AV8, Krell Showcase or Aragon Stage One I've never had the Arcam or Krell in my system. I have owned many prepros including Lexicon, Citation, Parasound, Outlaw, Sherwood and a couple of tube/solid-state preamps. Among the prepros, the Aragon Soundstage (~1100 used) and Aragon Stage One... | |
| classe ca-300 or bryston 4b sst for thiel 2.4 Get a pair of Aragon Palladium monoblocks. The mids & highs sound like tubes (with 100+ watts in pure class A), have great bass control, project a nice soundstage, and can easily drive 2 ohms. | |
| How much better is Theta Cas 2 compared to Classe I would upgrade your amps. ie, the Classe 2 channel amps should give you better channel separation and dynamics. There are a few CA100's and CA150's for sale right now. | |
| two parasound 2200 mk2 or parasound 3500 I had two 2200II's driving my mains, center, and sub before picking up a used 3500. The 3500 sounds a little different (2200II is warmer?) and a little cleaner. I thought the 3500 was not worth 500 more (1200 vs 700); and 1k in my case as I am usi... |
