| Happy 4th of July The fact that this back and forth is going on right now in this thread just shows how partisan the 4th has become. When has this happened in recent Happy 4th to you as well @pete68! | |
| martin logan speakers Thanks, good to know. Have you gotten a chance to stop by yet? | |
| martin logan speakers I really like Martin Logan, not only because their speakers are fantastic, their service is top notch.When I bought my ML Impression 11As, I paired them with a McIntosh Mc452 amp. For me, the combination was a bit too warm. Great for some genres... | |
| McIntosh autoformers vs direct-coupled output Broockies, the Expressions are 13A’s, one up from the Impression 11A’s.Expressions are great speakers, they would definitely need some decent power to drive though. Not necessarily in watts, they need a solid power supply with enough headroom to ... | |
| Streamer choices Some options that should be an upgrade to Bluesound in your price point would be NAD, Bel Canto, and Lumin. | |
| McIntosh autoformers vs direct-coupled output 1: Full range CLS/CLX, 2: Two ways with passive bass driver. 3: Or two way with active bass diver? George, I think he was referring to option 3 from your original post. | |
| McIntosh autoformers vs direct-coupled output @broockies, It all ends up what sound signature you like listening to. Two similarly measured amps can sound different with the same speakers.As George mentioned, the ML panels go below 1ohm in the higher frequencies. From my experience, the amo... | |
| McIntosh autoformers vs direct-coupled output I have ML 11As and picked up a McIntosh MC452. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out why I couldn’t get some instruments to sound natural, especially violins and pianos. I found and bought an older MC7106 6 channel directly coupled amp for ... | |
| Best multi channel amp and processor good for 2 channel listening. Thanks @Cahill, Appreciate the overview, very helpful. You have some amazing setups! Sounds like you have done some great work with your AC lines.I currently have the Luxman 509X integrated. It’s plugged into the wall right now, but may go through... | |
| Best multi channel amp and processor good for 2 channel listening. maguiar, @caphill is spot on, there are ranges in AQ much like all cables. Choosing manufacturer and line comes with demoing and preference, more important how one cable works in one system but not well another no matter what the price.There are ... | |
| Best multi channel amp and processor good for 2 channel listening. Maguiar, There are many great interconnects and most people have different preferences. To give an example @caphill likes Shunyata, which are great cables, others I know say they think their interconnects sound dull. Same goes for all the manufac... | |
| Best multi channel amp and processor good for 2 channel listening. Maguiar, Yes for sure it’s all about synergy. The more I spend time with the Luxman, the more I am appreciating it. As Caphill mentioned cables are very important, both component and speaker/interconnect cable synergy.I just changed my analog inte... | |
| Best multi channel amp and processor good for 2 channel listening. Maguiar,I did demo the Gryphon Diablo 300 with the 11As. Thought it was great, though certain songs came across a bit bright, and at times slightly harsh. Generally it had a great balance of warmth and clarity, but was surprised at the brightnes... | |
| Best multi channel amp and processor good for 2 channel listening. Maguair, I haven't heard the Harbeth's myself but I have heard they are fairly neutral speakers. Your impressions on the different amps make sense. A warmer amp I would bring out a fuller sound. BTW, one integrated amp that I have recently been... | |
| Best multi channel amp and processor good for 2 channel listening. Thanks Maguair, vacation was great. Great summary on your take on the different amps. Speaker and amp synergy is really important as well. If you thought the m900u was a bit bright then the 509X will probably sound even brighter to you. Never ... |
