| Blue Circle BC 21.1 vs. Cary SLP 308 As Monk says, it depends a lot on what else is in the system, and what you are trying to accomplish musically. Having said that, I think that the Blue Circle does a lot more a lot better than the Cary. The BC21.1 is a very neutral but musical perf... | |

| How did you get into this hobby? I think I've been a sort of audiophile all my life. I've always listened to music (started at age 3 with Beatles records, used to drive the household nuts!), and even at the age of 7 or 8 was always wanting "more" than the BSR turntable. Started i... | |
| What hurts a speaker? Rosstaman makes excellent points! You should also never mention in front of a speaker that it lacks bass or does not image well. Do not compare monitors to full range speakers - in extreme cases they have been known to cry. Also (very important) N... | |
| Holy Grail of Audio Systems Wow! You need therapy!! I suggest you follow this multi-step program immediately:1. Take a deep breath.2. Get something to drink immediately - it doesn't matter whether there are grapes or not.3. Go sit down and listen to some music. DO NOT listen... | |
| AR vs Cary vs Blue Circle vs... What preamp do you have? A neutral and quick preamp is probably fine for a BC28, though I've heard a BC28 with a few different Blue Circle preamps, and depending on your taste, you could be happy with any of them.I am currently using a 10 year old... | |
| AR vs Cary vs Blue Circle vs... I'm familiar with all of your choices except the VTL, and from the sounds of your tastes I would agree with Sugarbrie that you would probably like the Blue Circle BC28. | |
| Blue Circle BC2 - may need to upgrade. Dude - there is a Blue Circle BC28 hybrid listed today on audiogon at a killer price. It fits your crieria rather nicely. | |
| M. Logan Requests- Tube Suggestions in $1.5-2K?? You might want to check out a Blue Circle BC24 hybrid amp. I've heard this amp very recently with a pair of Requests, and it's a very effective combination. | |
| Martin Logan - wow Duke makes some excellent points - and he is right on when he says that the most important thing is to correctly match your amplifier with panel speakers. I have no idea whether or not your amp will match well with Martin Logans, but Ascents are n... | |
| What are you powering your Martin Logans with???? My CLSIIz speakers are powered by a pair of Blue Circle AG8000 monblocks. Scary..... I have also heard Odysseys, Aeons, Ascents powered by various Blue Circle amps. They are very well matched - mind you, Blue Circle seems to work well with an asso... | |
| Blue Circle amp with TSM Well, how about the Blue Circle BC24? Tube warmth and the gusto to let you "shake what yer mama gave ya"! Also a very nice match with your BC21. | |
| My room 12'x 9' with 8' ceilings will it sound OK? Yes, it can be done! Particularly if you don't listen at extremely high volume levels. Your gear must be chosen with extreme care, and you have to use lots of acoustic treatments, but with proper attention to equipment selection and placement you ... | |
| Need a good used tube pre $1500 or less There is a Blue Circle BC21.1 pre on Audiogon. Excellent value for the money, and a considerable upgrade from the BC21 - which is a pretty good preamp in it's own right. Mind you, a BC3 Despina at $1500 is an even better deal if you can find one -... | |
| Tube Preamps under $10k with deep bass extension Check out the Blue Circle BC9 or BC3000. Both are outstanding preamps with excellent bass extension. |
