| Looking for speaker choice advice..... Vandersteen 3A are an excellent all round speaker, but make sure you also check out a pair of Aerial 10T. Lots available in your price range and truly a speaker that does almost nothing wrong. I can't imagine why they were discontinued.... | |
| Amplifier trouble shooting BC-2 Blue Circle Sugarbrie is right on the money - get in touch with Blue Circle. The customer service is exceptional. | |
| Suggestions for a tube preamp I went through this about three years ago and wound up listening to virtually all of the stuff on your list - the Blue Circle BC21 was slightly but definitely better than the competition that you have listed. BUT...I did not listen to the Magus, a... | |
| Inexpensive tweak I had a beagle that used to hose my vinyl regularly. Oddly enough, he only seemed to aim at the Led Zepplin albums. It never made them sound better, though I'm not sure it made them sound much worse either. I guess I should have made him wizz on t... | |
| Ok, beating the dead horse AGAIN Stop beating dead horses! It's a cruel and borderline sick pastime!! Now that you have stopped, seriously consider a Blue Circle BC3, either in it's Despina or Galatea configuration. It makes a nice match with the Plinius. You might also consider ... | |
| Monitor speakers for a change You should seriously consider the Wilson Benesch ARC, or if you want to spent a lot more money, the Discovery. If you are seriously into Sonus Faber, think about the Extrema - but it needs a ton of power. Revel Gems are supposedly a sweet small sp... | |
| NAIM Alternatives-from people who have switched. I switched from Naim to Blue Circle. I had a 32.5/140/snaps setup that I wanted to upgrade. I started looking around to see what was available, though I had every intention of sticking with Naim. I literally stumbled over Blue Circle gear and was ... | |
| Any pinnacle-quality SS unbalanced gear out there? Definitely a second vote for Blue Circle - will easily compete with the gear you mentioned. | |
| Opinions on new Blue Circle Hybrid BC 24/28 amps? I've heard them both - in my home, and in my system. They are very hard to beat at their respective price points. Good with just about any type of music you care to listen to, and lots of oomph to drive pretty much any speaker load. You can't go w... | |
| Best nearfield speakers for my system Depends what you want to spend of course, but here are a few that should work nicely......Aerial Acoustics Model 5, 6, or 10 - yes the Model 10 is dynamite in the near field if you have a room that won't load up in the bottom end.Energy Veritas 2.... | |
| Virtually lost, a minimalist cries out for "help." What about a Levinson 39? Combines the 37 transport, and a 36 DAC (sort of). A fine player by all accoiunts, and has volume control. I also second the motion on an Audiomeca Mephisto II player. Some decent deals on them lately, and nice sounding u... | |
| HELP: I need a solid state amp with a tube sound You should check out a Blue Circle BC24 - brand new for $2245 on the 'gon. It is a hybrid design; tube input stage (two 6922 tubes total) and SS output. You get warmth and whump. Hard to beat for the money. Happy hunting. | |
| Small room big amp, need speakers It would be helpful if you would identify what your source is, and what your musical preferences are. Also, how much are you planning on spending on this? Stne418 - I somewhat disagree with your statement on bass; It can be had, but matching the s... | |
| Looking for speaker recs to go with Blue Circle A BC28, huh? Good call. Always depends on how much you want to spend of course, and like I said before I don't know your speakers at all, but considering your room size some of the following should work:Martin Logan OdysseyAerial 10TEnergy Veritas... | |
| Blue Circle Amps: Hybrid v Solid State, Compare? Well, you've got a good source and a good pre amp (I must confess I know nothing about your speakers). The BC2 mono blocks would work well in your situation, but the BC6 is probably a little underpowered for a larger room. Remember though, these a... |
