| Anyone under 30? Aroc: seems like you have a clear investment objective. I'm not sure which of the two -- autos or hi-end -- is more expensive. At least the price a a giga has dropped steadily these past few years. More than one can say about the price of the Watt... | |
| How much power have you got under the hood? The MF had a warm sound akin to traditional (i.e. old) tubes, with some off the roll-off of those tubes. Note: with SPENDOR speakers (that's all I remember). Also, I don't remember the MF being fast... I do NOT remember MF having similar sound to ... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Looking back at this thread, I wonder at the validity of my suggestion(s). Speakers, being at the end of the chain, are definitively system dependent -- apart from their inherent engineering quality, ofcourse. I wonder whether I have really *heard... | |
| Market Research in High End Market Hi Abstract: Sony (marketing) Europe, allegedly, has such a value/volume report, from 1999. The definition of the hi-end market is made according to their own product category classification...Research conducted in relation to their SACD and surro... | |
| mark levinsn would this be an upgrade Pepito: reference to how "good" the "amplified" (hence, watts) sound emanating from the amp is. In short, how close the amplified sound is to the input signal from the preamplifier. Amplifiers' power is, customarily, expressed in watts so, a music... | |
| mark levinsn would this be an upgrade Perfect: current *is* useful, you know. You DO need at least a minimum amount of output horsepower to make (speaker) cones push air, after all (and Crustin's speaker sports an average-low 87 sensitivity). Given the minimum though, I too would choo... | |
| Anyone herad the Audio Physic Avanti 111's? The Avanti are generally better (bass included) than the Virgos -- but need big (current) amplification to get the best out of them. Especially in the mid-bass (to MY ears, ofcourse -- yrs may differ). So, you may be looking at extra investment...... | |
| Opinions on equipment+acoustics on large rooms If U can't go cornfed's, pro, way, check available -- top-quality -- horsepower first. Try active speakers or active bi(multi?)-amping. My guess is you'll need an easy +110db delivering capacity in the full room so, check out the speakers' handlin... | |
| mark levinsn would this be an upgrade Haven't heard the projected combo so, I guess that the ML could handle reasonable (i.e. not very LOUD)levels. Current is good and the 50W rating is, as above, conservative.Any way you can try the amp on yr speakers? Always the best test! | |
| Clearaudio TTs good or bad Bj: SME sounds good, I heard a V on a bigger C/audio deck. RB's are limited by the vta question -- but why a 600 instead of starting w/a 250, and upgrading later, to another brand if you wish. Just a thought...Cheers! | |
| Anyone herad the Audio Physic Avanti 111's? Hi. These are the III (i.e.3)? If so, yes, repeatedly. I like the sound and consider them world-class speakers. (Haven't read the reviews, though.) BUT, what exactly would you like to know? Room sizes varied, but they were OK in a smallish (c. 200... | |
| Moral Dilemma Lens: A telephoto. Because if I were to save him, he would get a grip on the longer, tele, lens. If again, I don't or cannot, I can get a better ("Pulitzer-prize") close-up. My spontaneous reaction would be to save him: a) I probably couldn't watc... | |
| mark levinsn would this be an upgrade Probably. What speakers would the 11 be asked to drive? | |
| What's the Least You Could Live With? Detlof, you scared me for a minute -- until I saw yr 2nd post...My present set-up is not good enough (yet) to live with; should i just "right"-grade Joysjane's solution?Cheers | |
| Clearaudio TTs good or bad Hi Bj. The Glider sounded good on a solution/morch arm. The champion sounded good with a clearaudio victory/morch arm & a BPS, same arm. Sound: clear, fast, not necessarily lean; information retrieval is superior to "plusher" TTs (/older desig... |
