| Esoteric SA-10 or Rega Saturn? That's very interesting. I wonder where the Ayre CX-7 or CX-7e fit in this picture...somewhere between these two? | |
| Choice of preamplifier: help Ckoffend, I think you're right about my lack of tolerance for excessive tubeness. I never tried AR equipment, despite a number of Quad aficionados told me AR is a great match with this speaker. I am also seriously considering hte new EAR. The 890 ... | |
| Choice of preamplifier: help After a few listening sessions, I can say that I prefer my Klyne to the CT6. The CT6 is a very good preamp, but I found it to be less brilliant and detailed than the Klyne is. The sonic difference between these two preamps is huge. I guess in the ... | |
| Choice of preamplifier: help I just went to a dealer and took home a CJ CT-6 for a test. My first impression is quite good. It is less punchy than my Klyne, but it looks a tiny bit more musical...I don't know. I will try it more and with different types of music and let you k... | |
| what is the best amp you've ever heard EAR 890 | |
| If money is not a problem Sogood51, well, I have probably exaggerated in saying that none of the solutions above would approach the system I suggest (in fact, I never tried the speakers you recommend). Still, I believe the magic of the Quads is hard to beat no matter how m... | |
| If money is not a problem I would echo Glory...silly stuff going on here. You guys lack poetry. Get a pair of ESL 57, a top of the line EAR amplifier, a Shindo pre, and with less than 20K you get something that none of the solutions offered above can approach...and if you ... | |
| speakers for classical music DCstep, actually some people believe the right sub can solve the problem, but I never tried it (actually, I tried a Velodyne but had no luck). I've been recommended a couple of gradient subs, but my room is probably too small for that. If anyone w... | |
| speakers for classical music I disagree with those who have said Quads ESL 57 are the perfect choice for classical music. I own a pair of them, I just love them, but I think their limit is that they can't play symphonic music right (meaning, reproducing as closely as possible... | |
| How do you determine how much to spend on speakers Based on my experience, I would definitely start the development of a system with the speakers. It is the speaker that mostly characterizes the sonic signature of your system. That is, electronics can change how well a speaker sounds, but they don... | |
| Best amp for Sonus Faber Cremona M - need help How about EAR? I own the EAR 890 and it is incredibly musical, neutral, and with its 75W per channel it should drive your cremonas pretty well. | |
| Quad 57's stacked with Gradient sub woofer Sorry for the off-topic question, but you guys seem to be Quad experts. Do you think an 11x15 room is too small for the Quad 57? | |
| What is the best speaker for a smallish room? Thanks for all your advice. I ended up buying a pair of Reference 3a Di Capo i (although I also liked Thiel 2.3). I was intrigued by the absence of crossover. I will not sell my Quads though...will keep you posted on how the sound. The reviews I h... | |
| What is the best speaker for a smallish room? The Manger Swings look like a very interesting speaker. I did not know it, thanks for the suggestion. They remind me of the Reference 3a Veena, which is a speaker I am considering, together with the Thiel 2.3.More genereally, two or three people s... | |
| What is the best speaker for a smallish room? yes, it's not a problem to put bass traps, although one of the two corners behind the speakers is not really a corner. The rear and right walls do not intersect at a 90 degree angle: each intersects at a 45 degree angle with a short wall segment (... |
