| Bi-amping, "What amps would you use" Sean, you just blew me out of the house! Indeed, this looks (and probably sounds) like an ultimate system i.e. taking available products & implementing the most sonically efficient set-up... bending the limitations of the products to serve the... | |
| Smallest Bookshelf Speaker Worth Listening To I second System audio & LS3/5A. The size of S-Audio is inversely proportional to the size of the amp that will drive them to perfection. The cost is comparable! They're supposed to be mega-speakers for a small room -- the idea being that a sma... | |
| Which has a greater effect on music,int.amp or CD? then you will probably prefer the YBA line, cd & integre. Also they do synergise VERY well. I have found the YBA a better, if more expensive, proposition. Especially when listening for longer periods of time -- i.e. living with the components.... | |
| So close yet so far....oh the pain of it all Sugar -- that's a rare piece. It's not funny... I heard some Pressler Mozart on one of those tiny Italian label cd reissues -- but can't remember details. I don't think it was the same recording though (but it could be: just taken direct off the LP). | |
| Bi-amping, "What amps would you use" Sean, wow -- so cumulatively speaking, that makes it penta-amping at full home level...:) I barely manage the bi (amping, I mean) -- plus both are stereo units at that! | |
| Classical lp dilemma - recommendations, please Hello 23yr old dinosaur -- which of course, relates to vinyl, not your age; by the same token I'm a double dinosaur :). Furtwangler & Klemperer (conductors) for Beethoven's 9th, for his piano works (incl. Elise) I recommend the following piani... | |
| Power cord from speaker cables? KR8000 draw alot of juice. I don't know the diametre of the hexlinks -- but I would make sure I'm within regulation size for the amperage required. Don't do antyhing before you get feedback from the likes of Sean!Nice system, though. What's the rest? | |
| So close yet so far....oh the pain of it all Sugar, is this real? LOL | |
| Bi-amping, "What amps would you use" Dr Sean has asked the important question. BTW, gossip has it he tri-amps, so he probably knows a thing or two on the subject.My speakers are factory-made "bi-amps". The division is b/ween woofers (8 x 8") & the rest. | |
| Avantgarde's are Great but Bass Integration? Wow, Audio, your epistle is brief & staggeringly to the point. My hat off! Cheers, | |
| The Amp Quits Agin -- Am I Missing Something? Whatever it is, it doesn't seem like an external enemy -- otherwise both amp channels would be on hols. EXCEPT if the main ground is wired onto the right channel & it blew due to trash entering the system from the mains while you were away. I ... | |
| Music to test with: Same as Detlof above + lieder in mono. An old Dieskau is fine: can I visualise Mr Dieskau, his physical size, & the characteristics of his voice? For the adventurous dealer, a tinge of Mahler 2nd symphony (1st & last parts) can also serve ... | |
| Review: Spendor S-100 Speaker What do you drive these speakers with? I had them aeons ago & never managed to drive the boxiness out of them; I used triwire with DNM (good speed, but not enough), EAR 519 monos and a big MF. Best results with the 519 + DNM 6 pre. Maybe I sho... | |
| Electrostatic speaker cables... Incidentally, I have tried bearlabs speaker cable on esl with very good results. Note that I use these cables on my regular system too, so it's a reflection of taste.. Also take into account that the ESL in question has an erratic impendance curve... | |
| Pure Monstrosity re: Monster tm cables Gallaine, I don't think anyone would argue that your [techniques are rather severe or that.. (you)...should not have to exercise them in order to be free of the evils of aggressive marketing]. It's more like a life-style & as such probably doe... |
