| Looking to step up from Polk RTi A3. 1500 or under Again, if you like the sonic character of the RTiA3s and want better midrange, more precise soundstaging, and refined sparkle up top, then the B&Ws fit the bill and I think a good match with your setup.If you are looking for something differen... | |
| Looking to step up from Polk RTi A3. 1500 or under I had the RTiA3s at one point.I actually thought they were a good little speaker - they do well for low to mid level volume listening with a dash of sparkle up top, which I prefer.I stepped 'up' with a used set of B&W CDM1NTs that I got here :... | |
| Have a better suggestion for HT audio? [edit/correction] OP should consider the Yamaha Aventage series with say the RX-A850. | |
| Have a better suggestion for HT audio? Just my 2cents worth, but I've gone down the road the OP has as I got back into audio because my passion with music was rekindled after setting up a decent HT system.The OP says he is mainly interested in 2-channel audio and only 'dabbles' with HT... | |
| Marantz I'm using the SA-KI Pearl SACD player in my rig.Good match/synergy with my other components - wonderful player! | |
| Suggestions for integrated amps for B&W CM10 Musical Fidelity int amps pair well with B&Ws. That is what I run in my setup.There's a MF Nu Vista listed for under your budget.[no affiliation to seller] | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? Well the jazz concert to see Carl Saunders last night was great!Parking at San Diego City College was easy - no traffic, no lines, and no charge.Jazz88.org/KSDS 88.3FM has their studio/broadcast facilities on campus, so their website offers free p... | |
| Why Listen To FM Radio For Music Anymore At Home? I kinda listen to FM.I had to escape the innanity of commercial FM and found refuge at the bottom of the dial with the local commercial free listener supported jazz station, 88.3 KSDS.All the time when driving - and at home, TWC carries Music Choi... | |
| MIT continued experience 06-26-15: NmmusicmanOver the years, I've always found a consistent synergy with MIT cables and AQ cables when used together. I mainly use AQ DBS interconnects with MIT Shotgun speaker cables---Same here.I had the full loom of either Audioquest or ... | |
| Better 2-channel music "It's still a mystery to me how such a perfectionist group is so willing to accept imperfection when it comes to in room frequency response."But isn't a part of this issue supposedly remediated by the use of an AVR and it's autocalibration/eq for ... | |
| Bowers and Wilkins B&W 705 speakers_questions. A closer matching center for the 705s would be from the CDM series: either a CDMCNT or CDMCSE.You didn't specify a budget, so can't make any solid recommendations for associated gear. | |
| Musical Fidelity A5 Phono Stage I have the A5 int amp as well - but I don't hear the hum you are describing and I sometimes go higher than 10 o'clock.The phono section of the A5 does an admirable job.I once tried a Jolida external phono pre, but no matter what I set it to, could... | |

| SS amp rec's for B&W CDM 7 NT's I run B&W CDM 1 NTs with a SS Musical Fidelity Int Amp which makes for a nice pairing, imho, of course.The CDMs respond nicely when given 'amp'le power ;-)There is a MF SS amp here:http://app.audiogon.com/listings/solid-state-musical-fidelity-... | |
| Best solution Older AVRs most definitely would allow connection of analog video and audio inputs and then 'upconvert' for HDMI output.My Yamaha RX-V1800 has inputs for S-VHS and composite video along w/ L/R audio inputs which can then be upconverted and outputt... |
