I have listened to electrostatics and a former BBC monitor brand (e.g, Harbeth) in my listening room.I may not have clearly articulated my idiosyncrasies. I found all of these speaker types not to be ana... | |

| Can I hook up a DCS Puccini player/preamplifier directly to an ARC GS150 ampilifier? Folkfreak-Thank you for the feedback. I do know many who drive solid-state amplifiers directly from DACs, but I realize that I may be looking at a horse of a different color. Having been exposed to the arbitrary and capricious nature of the audiop... | |
| Can I hook up a DCS Puccini player/preamplifier directly to an ARC GS150 ampilifier? I could not locate the post from phusis. However, I do have expensive XLR cables for balanced connections (Transparent brand) if that makes sense. I figure the only way to make this work is by using great connectors between the Puccini player and ... | |
| Eric Clapton reveals this week of his declining health I wonder if Eric Clapton is still living with his most recent wife in Columbus, OH. I saw him twice with Cream in the 60's and he was great, but when I saw him in the 1970's (unfortunately, my mother had to take me to that concert and she sat with... | |
| Still looking for speakers in the 10-20,000 range It depends on what music you listen to and the acoustical environment of your listening room. Based only on what I have heard in my own house, I would narrow the list to:1.Vandersteen Quatro CT Wood - if you like powered speakers and you listen to... | |
| Best analytical loudspeakers for strings (midrange)? willemj-I was using a McIntosh 275 VI tube amplifier (I like the tube sound, but it did not provide enough current for the Wilson loudspeakers. I am now using PS Audio's BHK 300 monoblocks, which provide sufficient current to drive the speakers.Th... | |
| Paradigm 3f, KEF reference 3, Monitor Audio PL300II I have been auditioning speakers in my listening room, as well as visiting friends on the west coast and listening to their speakers and systems (some have blown close to $1M!). Here is my $0.02, which is probably worth a great deal less.I AM BIAS... | |
| Musician vs. audiophile I may have missed it, but what type of music does your wife play?As a student of Yehudi Menuhin (while he was still alive), as well as some great jazz violinists, the big problem for me is getting midrange frequencies accurate with great resolutio... | |
| My apologies_Upgrade path from Wilson WattPuppy 7's? Folks-Let's not attack others in this thread (ha!). I have some thoughts about my system, although, for some odd reason (probably related to sales margins), it is difficult if not impossible, to trade-in McIntosh equipment for other used high-end ... | |
| My apologies_Upgrade path from Wilson WattPuppy 7's? My thanks for all the great responses and conversations. Although I am a scientist, I decided to change more than one variable at this time, but not yet the WattPuppy 7 speakers.I have been talking to Rob at the Music Room in Boulder, and will be ... | |
| Why does my system now have shrill top end. I have not read every post in this thread, but how old are you, and have you ruled out hearing loss? - Gerry | |
| My apologies_Upgrade path from Wilson WattPuppy 7's? Folks-I understand. I have a friend here in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) at the University of Michigan who has been an audio engineer for 30 years and runs the audio engineering lab here at the University of Michigan. He used... | |
| My apologies_Upgrade path from Wilson WattPuppy 7's? A few observations from the OP of this thread:(1) My McIntosh 275 VI has been measured at 90 watts, and has more than adequate current to drive the Wilson WP7 speakers that I own;(2) I would like to thank the fellow from the Audio Connection who I... | |
| My apologies_Upgrade path from Wilson WattPuppy 7's? Folks-Thanks for the advice. I forget to mention that I already own Watt Puppy 7 speakers and my listening room is about 300 sq ft with sound absorption on walls and ceiling.Thanks once again- Gerry |
