| Aragon 8008x5 with Vandersteen 2w Call Vandersteen directly. Richard will call back the next day (usually) and give you the best advice.Bob | |
| Please help me chose a tube preamp I heard a pair of ProAc's with Aesthetix amp and pre- I don't remember which model- but they sounded excellent. I don't think you would go wrong with that manufacturer.Another manufacturer, Atma-Sphere, makes a killer preamp. My MP-3 is everything... | |
| Another question about bi wiring Plenty of posts regarding jumpers vs. bi-wire. Just search.Regarding your current connection, I think it sounds okay. Another way to connect is to have one pair as spades and the other banana, or stack two sets of spades-which is kind of a pain an... | |
| Worked Backwards and Would like to Hear Suggestions on Speakers @tomic601 Mmmm, an MBL. I haven't heard them, but I think they would be a pretty sweet loudspeaker.@randy, I agree that Maggie's would be a good way to go, as well.@OP,I'll put in my 2 cents and give Vandersteen a plug.The Bose were pretty sweet d... | |
| GoldenEar vs Dynaudio vs Nola vs ProAc vs Everything else. Thanks hifiman! Nice to know I am appreciated.@cb5300,who did you buy the Legacy Focus from? | |
| Central Maine Audiophiles Isn't Transparent in your state?I'd give them a call and see if they know of any locals who'd be interested.B | |
| Vandersteen 2C contour controls +- Looking back at your original post, perhaps the new interconnects between the amp and pre might be holding back on the lower frequencies?I agree, let the dielectrics run in for a while. Sometimes, they just open up like a flower.B | |
| GoldenEar vs Dynaudio vs Nola vs ProAc vs Everything else. ProAc's or Vandy's, it is your choice.If you are in the NE, then contact Audioconnection. He has both brands that you can audition without pressure.Bob | |
| Vandersteen 2wq with Mccormack dna .5 If you find the bass overwhelming, I would go to a higher impedance setting. The 2w sub should be a very subtle presence.I ran them with a pair of 3a sigs and had no issue with the bass being too high. Quite the contrary, it worked seamlessly.Bob | |
| Vandersteen 2C contour controls +- @mr_m,Rooms are all different in character, so one man's 12.5" may be 3 feet in another room. Another Vandy owner (ctsooner) had his Quatro's placed pretty close to the walls by JohnnyR. It didn't seem like it should work but it did. OP, let us kn... | |
| Dealers hijacking the discussions @4425 ,I have be hesitant to respond to this thread, but I have to say that your post is spot on. The dealer in question-'He who must not be named'- is truly becoming an annoyance. As I said in an earlier post, there are other dealers on Agon who ... | |
| Has anyone compared ZU mission vs Event speaker cables (and interconnects)? OP, You should call Zu and see if they have any MK1's left over. Also, sign up to get announcements. They just had a sale a few days ago on a few models of speakers and subs.B | |
| Has anyone compared ZU mission vs Event speaker cables (and interconnects)? Zu, like Schiit, are pretty good at marketing their merchandise. The higher up you go, the better the sound reproduction gets.Zu has an Ebay outlet where you can get some of the earlier models at significant discount.Bob | |
| Doshi Jhor 90W monoblocks If you want to try tubes, I would look at Atma-Sphere.But, if you want to try the Doshi, then you could get some rca-xlr convertors from Jensen for about $300. I spoke with Ralph (Atma-Sphere) and he said they shouldn't do much to the sound- I was... | |
| Kudo's to Miller Sound I love hearing about honest, reputable repairmen. Thanks for the info.They seem to service a wide range of speaker manufacturers, too.Bob |
