| How many pair of speakers do you own? Hi Bbchem,Absolutely love the Tone and I am really enjoy the single driver sound. It took a bit getting used to as the Tone's sound character was a departure from what I'd heard in the past.While they don't have the pin point imaging of, say, my F... | |

| Micropure Kotaro Hi CDC,Just arrived today - ditto to Ingvar's comments.Right now I am starting them off with in my work office with dual Pathos amps (in bridged mode) with a REL handling above 75Hz. Out of the box, the sound is very, very nice indeed. It seems li... | |
| Best stand mounted monitors Hi Kevin,Any of the ones you've listed sound great - my favourite of your choices would be to go with the Ref 3As. That said, I could happily live with any of them. All have their strengths - in the end, it just depends on the sound your looking t... | |

| Wow Windows Vista sounds sooo much better Rush Limbaugh most definitely is a Mac Head. | |
| Your "DREAM" piece Ahh, decisions, decisions . . . Playing by Sir Teajay's rules, either the Reimyo CDP-777, Pathos Endorphin CDP, or a pair of Vitus SM-101 Amps will be just fine with me. | |
| Does an integrated DAC/Headphone amp exist? Jlind325is,No, never owned a Bimmer, however, my Dad owned the same exact year and model. He loved it and, like you, got several 100K miles out of it (all on the first motor) before handing it over to one of my brothers. Classic style, great perfo... | |
| AKG K701 Tony3d,I own the Senns 650's, AKG 701's, ATH W1000 & 5000's. Echoing the afore mentioned comments, the AKG's strengths lay in their nice detailed sound, wide soundstage and solid, but not over emphasized, bass. Decay is very good and the AKG's... | |
| Does an integrated DAC/Headphone amp exist? JLind325is,Aside from those mentioned, two that I have should do the trick - Meier Audio Corda Opera - Headphone Amp, DAC, and Preamp @ USD 1,000: and,PS Audio GCHA Headphone Amp & DAC @ USD 995.Sorry . . . just saw that you wanted to keep the... | |
| Looking for a bookshelf at 2k or less..... Craig,Sounds like you made a great choice. Having the Aurum Cantus V3M's, whose ribbon tweeter is from the same family as the G2, my bet is that you will love the quick and lifelike sound that, at the same time, is not "in your face".BTW, your spo... | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music 1) Allison Krauss' "Ghost in the room" - better have a box of handkerchiefs on hand!2) The entire CD of Jonathan Butlers' eponymous release (Jonathan) - Music so joyous that you'll laugh and cry at the same time. | |
| Looking for a bookshelf at 2k or less..... Hi Craig,Given your taste for the higher frequencies, you owe it to your self to check out the Focus Audio 68se's - they run around 2K new. Taught Bass down to about 50Hz and imaging that's among the best around.Good hunting,Garry | |
| Would this fix a scratched CD? Ellery,My thoughts exactly.No worries - you made perfect sense. Go ahead and have a few more drinks - no doubt you'll probably be drafted by Mensa soon thereafter :))Cheers,Garry | |
