| Revel speakers - dealer scuttlebutt Your experience is kind of what I had when I went to a dealer near me.He had Golden Ear, but I told him I remembered Vandersteen and liked them.He said: 'Vandersteen is old tech'.When I auditioned the Golden Ear and said I didn't care for them, he... | |
| The imperfect amp: Pass or Ayre? @tomic601 , How I envy you...I hate to sidetrack, and, I probably should just PM you, but I'm here...You mentioned you had both a non-Twenty and Twenty version of an Ayre amp. Could you describe the differences between the two versions?I keep wond... | |
| Streamer Recommendation I have only listened to the Aurender at my dealer.When he switched out the Bluesound to the Aurender it was very different-in a good way. I believe it was a N100. This was fed to an Ayre Codex. I think the W20 is supposed to be higher up on the la... | |
| Need Perfect Speakers for Acoustically Hostile Placement @mijostyn,+1.Bob | |
| Atma-sphere Updates @pryso ,Well said.B | |
| Amps I Like Wow, a lot happened since my last post.@erik_squires ,Thanks for the great description of the two amps.I agree, Ayre has a certain 'something', and I believe Ralph is correct in naming the Zero Feedback circuitry as being implicit for that sound q... | |
| How to A/B Test Power Cables & Interconnects? If the OP could have a second person switch cables so he isn't able to know what has been switched, might be a way to A/B.B | |
| Amps I Like I'd be interested in your thoughts comparing Ayre and D'Agostino.I own the former, but have never heard the latter.Bob | |
| Bi-Wire Cable Question - Can They Be Used As Standard Speaker Cables Without A Problem? I would just stack the two spade ends to the banana adapter and plug them in.If the wire is from a company like Audioquest, you can have the cables re-terminated for not much money.Bob | |
| You've tried other amps and ended with Pass, please discuss @three_easy_payments,What speakers are you using?Bob | |
| Hopefully easy question: speaker cable spade size @OP, Now, was that hard?Any manufacturer worth his salt will be happy to answer questions.At Vandersteen and Atma sphere, the owner will answer the phone.B | |
| Hopefully easy question: speaker cable spade size As Levinson is still in business, I would try to email/phone them.B | |
| Vandersteen 1 in the nearfield, for rock music? @dave123456 ,Given what you have just reported, can we get a list of your equipment?I won't say Vandy's are for everyone, but when someone posts their speakers sounding 'muffled, and etched', I have to think something upstream is at fault- unless ... | |
| I am Looking for That Elusive 3 Dimensional Room Filling Soundstage Ohm's are a nice choice. Though, they are floor standers. In that case a pair of Vandy 1ci's would be another move. With subs, they would be superb. I have heard Rogue amps paired with Vandy's and was very impressed.And, as Noble pointed out, room... | |
| You've tried other amps and ended with Pass, please discuss @erik_squires ,Interesting thread. I haven't had a chance to listen to Pass amps, yet. Though they certainly seem to be highly regarded.Perhaps, one day...Bob |
