| B&W 803 d3. Is a 16 x 12 size room ok for this spkr? I think it should be fine. Your room volume (ceiling height) and open doorways also has to be considered. Nice speakers. A friend of mine has them and loves them. | |
| Audio GD XA150 Monoblocks I asked for Kingwa's recommendation for a preamp to best match the 2-H's. I was leaning toward the Vacuum HE-1 but he recommended the solid state version. I didn't want to fool around with 10 tubes anyway. Apparently the power supply has been upgr... | |
| Audio GD XA150 Monoblocks Hi Tobias. As I mentioned in an e-mail to you I'm just getting back into serious audio after a 10 year absence. Had to sell my Lamms during last recession. Was using a pair of custom Mono's by Alex Paychev (APL hifi) until I had a problem with one... | |
| Audio GD XA150 Monoblocks ordered the 2H's yesterday. For $75.00 extra I ordered them with extra set of speaker binding posts so I can bi-wire. That will take some extra time as well as the 100 hour factory burn in. Probably 3-4 weeks before I have them in my system. I'm i... | |
| Audio GD XA150 Monoblocks I was about to pull the trigger on a pair of the master 2H's but the XA150 caught my eye. I e-mailed Audio-GD and asked them to describe the difference. He said the 2H is neutral while the XA150 is warm and smooth pure class A. That's all he said.... | |
| Audio GD XA150 Monoblocks According to their site, they consume 700 watts together. That's 350 each mono. My previous Lamm 1.2 Reference monos used 320 each and were rated at 110watts. | |

| APL Hi-Fi NWO-4.0SE CD Player Review Hi Harve.Those speakers look like the Talon Thunderhawks with a Talon sub in the middle. I'm using the Talon Firebirds with the diamond tweeter in my own system. Rives now owns Talon. According to John's review above he now has the Wilson Maxx II'... | |
| APL Hi-Fi NWO-4.0SE CD Player Review Alex."I use cables that are rated at 3pF per meter. This is considered very low".I can't seem to find any cables with capacitance that low or even close to that. Where did you get yours? I've been using Stage 3 Concepts Vacuum Ref. between my NWO ... | |
| APL Hi-Fi NWO-4.0SE CD Player Review Alex. In capacitance speak, what would be considered low capacitance for interconnects? | |

| EMM CDSA SE Player, How many hours required I've owned several EMM products including some SE versions but not the one box CDSA SE. I've found that between 250 to 300 hours it's most of the way there but small improvements will occur up to about 500 hours. You'll be listing one night and al... | |

| CD players - Luxman vs. Esoteric? Looking for impressions of the D-08. Do you know of any reviews that you can point me to?Frank | |
| AMR / EMM / PLAYBACK Designs Hi Rgs92. I too was a long time EMM fan. I just loved the clarity of the EMM units but they tended to be edgy in the highs. The SE version cured that to some extent. My last EMM gear was the DCC2 SE and CDSD SE like you have. I traded mine in for ... |
