| Why monoblocks? For the first time in my 7 year experience I've begun thinking about monoblocks. My problem is the expense and having the space for them, which I don't. The mere fact that I'm thinking about this means I'm in too deep. | |
| When is used used up? All I can say Elizabeth, is you really seem to be in the know. Hats off to you! I learn something new here almost every day. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Hi Al, yes the expense has been for me more than I would have wanted or ever thought of before. But you can't quit. For bass the room seems to be bad with the speakers flanking the short wall. Top to bottom bass included however has improved at le... | |
| Most improved last 10yrs: Speaker, amp, or pre? Douglas_schroeder, I'm very interested in hearing and seeing more about the component sources you mention. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Frazeur1, these have Walsh 5-S3 cabinets which means they don't have the rounded corners; the drivers are pre production 5000's. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Thought I would check in after a long hiatus from this thread. Not much to say previoulsy because I've been struggling to get my setup to sound good with my Walsh 5000 protoypes in my room. It's no fun to report when the struggle is ongoing. So I'... | |
| Power amp around $3000 for C-J Classic preamp Actusreus, the input impedance of your power amp should be at least ten times the output impedance of your preamp. I've been told that without this the highs and bass will be rolled off. Actually if the input impedance of the amplifier is twenty, ... | |
| Tubed Pre to mate with W4S monos 1K budget A VTL 2.5 is one I owned around $800-$850 used. It was quiet and a very good and solid preamp; worked well with my W4S ST-1000. | |
| Rotel, no more DVD players? 03-01-10: RrogI personally do not believe in hard drive based systems.What's your reasoning? | |
| Budget single disc player-under $600 I had the Cambridge 540 and it was sonically lean. | |
| Power amp around $3000 for C-J Classic preamp Whatever amp you choose, be aware of the input impedance and the CJ preamp's output impedance. Choose wisely. | |
| Bel Canto Ref1000 MK2 Or Ref 500m ? I read that the Reference mk2 series improved on the sonics of the Reference series. | |
| Bryston BCD-1 compared to more expensive players? I had a BCD-1, but I can only compare it from memory to a Sim Audio Nova, and the Modwright Sony 999. These players are nowhere near 4-5 times the cost of the BCD-1. They are however comparable at retail price. I would say that if it sounds good i... | |
| Are tone controls worth a second look ? The MC MA 6900 is one I owned with tone controls. In general to me it was one dimensional and flat with or without the tone controls. | |
| Definitive Technology Mythos ST I had a pair for a while but wasn't patient and sold them. I think they have the potential to be great but they didn't work so well with my Blue Circle integrated, and since I loved that integrated I sold them. I put their performance down to not ... |
