| Transporter vs Ayre CX-7e Mtdking: Very interesting. Do you have the standard Modwright package, or the new, upgraded, Platinum option ($500 more)? Just curious.Also, can the modwright Transporter feed an amp directly? Or is a pre still required? | |
| Should I get a new amp? Saki70: My listening room is 11Wx20Lx7.5H. The back end of the room, however, is open to the rest of my basement so there is no wall. THe speakers are positioned at the end WITH the wall behind them, firing down the long walls toward the open spac... | |
| Should I get a new amp? Blindjim: Very interesting points. I do use a sub and while I was trying to avoid using it for music listening, I just don't think it's going to happen given all my positional constraints (narrow room, doubling as HT, etc).To me, it's much more im... | |
| Should I get a new amp? There is a Llano Trinity 200 Tube amp for sale on A-Gon right now that's in my budget. They are 200wpc and I've heard great things about Llano amps, but never heard one myself. Any opinions/thoughts on this amp pushing these 1027be's? It also seem... | |
| Transporter vs Ayre CX-7e Cerrot: No apologies necessary. I'm glad you cleared up the difference a bit for yourself :-)The fact that you have listened to both a transporter and a 7e in the same system is a huge plus for my opinion gathering. If you don't mind me asking, wh... | |
| Transporter vs Ayre CX-7e Cerrot: Thanks for the detail...very informative. However, my understanding was that the 7 only plays RBCD, not SACD. As such, it would lead me to believe that perhaps you were actually hearing the RBCD layer of the Hybrid SACD on the 7 as opposed... | |
| Should I get a new amp? Pubul57: My budget is $1,500, but if going tubes would require a tube pre as well to fully experience the sound, that $1,500 would have to cover both. As such, an integrated would likely be better suited to my budget. Having said this, I want to m... | |
| Transporter vs Ayre CX-7e Cerrot: Thanks for your response. The Esoteric and the Ayre 5xe are out of my budget, but I think you've helped me lean closer to the Ayre 7e. I'm also glad to hear that the wonderous sound I was hearing was not just a figment of my imagination. T... | |
| Should I get a new amp? Saki70: Thanks for the feedback. You're actually the second person to recommend the Primaluna Prologue 2, but my concern is that it's relatively moderate power rating contradicts what many others have said in this thread suggesting that I need a m... | |
| Should I get a new amp? Great feedback from everyone. Thanks!There have been a couple of references to Focal's really benefitting from Tube Amps. My problem is that I have never heard a tube amp, and I'm not sure there are any dealers around here that sell them seeing as... | |
| Opinions of Lexicon RT-20 for Audio Only Herman - Thanks. This is exactly the kind of input I'm looking for. Just out of curiousity, what is your opinion of the SACD and DVD-Audio playback? I have a fairly extensive collection of SACDs so this is an important factor for me.Autosports - M... | |
| Is it worth expanding into Vinyl??? Wow...37 replies in 24 hours...amazing!Thank you all for your input. I think that after reading all of this, I'm going to put this idea on hold again. Convenience is a huge factor for me, which obviously lends itself favorably to the digital appro... | |
| Is it worth expanding into Vinyl??? Thank you all for your input. The truth is, my music preference is probably considered odd for my age, but I generally prefer music from the 60s and 70s and some 80s to today's music. I've also been completely turned off from the pop/rock that I g... |
