| Looking for ideas - new mono blocks for stereo music I am with you @twoleftears and @auxinputAlready have the Audio Sensibility Silver Signature to connect the K-01X to the Marantz.From there it's Nordost Blue Heaven to the Brystons - I just might try some sensible upgrade there. It's a 4m (or about... | |
| Looking for ideas - new mono blocks for stereo music It's been a few days since my last post and I had some time to play around with my system. The first thing I did was to change the gain setting on my current amps from 2V to 1V as suggested by @elizabeth Next I slightly moved the speakers - they a... | |
| Looking for ideas - new mono blocks for stereo music @auxinpput Thank you for the detailed look (and listen) at the Brystons - you're comments really have been a great help so far.It's obviously not apples to apples but it's still quite helpful to hear how they sound in your system with the Krell ... | |
| Looking for ideas - new mono blocks for stereo music @auxinputThanks for the write up on the Parasound JC1 - very insightful and I love the amount of detail you went into.Can't wait for your comments on the 7BSST3s :) | |
| Looking for ideas - new mono blocks for stereo music @elizabeth 100% agree with what you said | |
| Looking for ideas - new mono blocks for stereo music Let me get back on the whole mono blocks vs stereo amps part. I've never said that mono blocks sound better but I stated my reasons for preferring mono blocks - mainly more flexibility in terms of placement.Not saying I won't consider a great ster... | |
| Looking for ideas - new mono blocks for stereo music Exactly what @elizabeth said - she is (sadly) spot on. | |
| Looking for ideas - new mono blocks for stereo music @auxinoutYes, hearing your thoughts on your new Bryston 7BSST3 amps would be much appreciated. Especially in comparison to the Parasound JC1sAnd you made a good point about resolution. I'd rather have 'too much' detail and tone things down / warm ... | |
| Looking for ideas - new mono blocks for stereo music @caphill I am trying to keep an eye on synergy as much as possible but sometimes that's easier said than done.Especially with the decline of local stores that carry enough inventory to demo all the options.I'd be happy enough to be able to demo th... | |
| Looking for ideas - new mono blocks for stereo music Thanks again for all the feedback, suggestions, and good advice.After reading the responses numerous times and doing additional research on most of the amps online, I've narrowed it down to these models:Amps I can demo easily in Toronto:Pass Labs ... | |
| Looking for ideas - new mono blocks for stereo music @elizabeth those are some good suggestions - thank you. Especially the high gain idea is something I didn't even think of. And also the easiest to test :)The duplex the Brystons are hooked up to is the Furutech FP-15A-N1 (R) while the power cords ... | |
| Looking for ideas - new mono blocks for stereo music But yes, Classe would have been taking a risk but less so now that they belong to Sound United.https://hometheaterreview.com/what-really-happened-with-classe-audio/It would be nice if production even moved from China to Japan. | |
| Looking for ideas - new mono blocks for stereo music Considering that Parasound left the Canadian market at the end of 2013 (I only found out when searching for Canadian dealers just now), I don't think that's a viable option anymore.Especially combined with the comment from @auxinput above.Maybe tr... | |
| Looking for ideas - new mono blocks for stereo music As pointed out and to narrow this down a bit let's just go with SS (not really a tube guy anyway - way too OCD for tubes ;) ) and class AB.Being in Canada does limit my options somewhat and while I appreciate some of the more exotic suggestions, b... |
