| Good starter speaker @rs1831,You are most welcome.I would also like to mention a very good audio dealer named John Rutan.Audioconnection is his audiogon name and his store. I recommend him because he knows stereo and he is an up front guy who won't try to sell you any... | |
| Room Dependent If a speaker manufacturer cannot create a speaker that cannot work in the real world without having to create a 'perfect environment', then they probably won't be in business for long. A good speaker will sound good in any environment, and will so... | |
| Class D vs Class AB - Looking for best used budget amplifier for Magnepan MG12 If you really want Class D, get the most recent iteration. The technology has been improving by leaps and bounds in the past few years.If Atmasphere finally gets one to offer, I will be one of the first adopters.Bob | |
| Are DAC's overpriced? DAC technology has improved by leaps and bounds in the past couple of years. Which is why I won't spend more that $2K on a DAC, and from a company that will provide upgrades.My choices would be Schiit, Ayre, Mytek, in no particular order.Bob | |
| Pass Labs - 350.8 stereo vs. 260.8 monos I know that there are some very knowledgeable Pass owners here on Audiogon, so I will not comment, as I found out that different models may sometimes use different topology.Amarg, Kosst, Charles1dad, any ideas?Bob | |
| Saint-Sean’s 3rd Symphony @tablejockey .I remember listening to a recording of the Arp Schnitger (sp?) organs by E.P. Biggs when I was in college. Sadly, it was through a pair of Bose 301's, but they were about as good as you could get back then.My beloved Vandy's came out... | |
| Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels @yyzsantabarbara ,Yes, thanks for clarifying things.I know that everyone's room isn't the 'perfect' room by a long shot, but I think a good speaker manufacturer takes this into consideration and produces a product that should sound good in as many... | |
| DC Offset Blocker/Killer - where to buy in the USA Ditto.Bob | |
| Good starter speaker I will agree on the amplifier. SMc Audio does great upgrades to McCormack products.I have never listened to Joseph Audio products, so I can't vouch for their performance, but I know people who love them- like soix.I would pair the DNA 125 with a p... | |
| Saint-Sean’s 3rd Symphony I recall there is one by Ormandy, that was one the first direct to disc recordings. Telarc?B | |
| Back to the drawing board @pcc67,You can download the Vandy sub set up on the Vandy website.If you have the M5-HP, don't use the settings on the box, but the ones on the sheet. https://www.vandersteen.com//media/files/Manuals/M5HP_2Wq.pdfAs longas you use the crossover, yo... | |
| Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels @yyzsantabarbara ,The whole DSP/DEQX stuff seems to me a bit much. Though I can understand the concept, I just don't see why you have to go through hoops to get 'perfect' sound. Just my opinion...I also wonder why, considering that you can tailor ... |
