| Best drink while listening to your rig? Belgian Leffe Blonde beer | |
| Anyone compare the B&W CDM9NT & N804 I have the N805s but have listened to the CDM7NTs and N804. At some point I had the CDM1NTs. Anything in the Nautilus range has better definition, image, soundstage than on the NT line. Some may have more than bass than the other but overall the N... | |
| Can I use the B&W CDM9NT in this small room? Get the M20s. With the music that he listens too and the size of the room your friend will not miss that much the additional low end that the CDM9 NTs will bring over the M20s and the later should have far better mid highs. I haven't heard the M20... | |
| Integrated confusion? Levinson 383 or JRConcentra Sorry to bump in with another choice: has anyone tried the Pathos Logos hybrid integrated? It certainly looks cool and Pathos are well regarded as sweet sounding etc. | |
| Bi-wiring using both speaker 1 and 2 outputs I do the same thing with my Arcam A32. In fact, it is one of the options described on the manual. | |
| Best amp to drive B&W N805's You did not mention the size of your listening room. My Arcam A32's 100Ws are fine with the N805s on a small to medium sized room. As long as the amp can provide enough current for peaks it is fine. | |
| Cary for a Cary ....B&W for a B&W??? The N805s are well ahead of the CDM7 NTs in the mid highs, imaging, detail, etc. But you need stands for them. I had the opportunity to compare them on an audio shop. I upgraded from CDM1 NTs to the N805s.Whatever bass the N805s produce is very ti... | |
| Burn in time...Reality or something else??? I would say that burn in is real more or less for the component (being speakers, cables, amps) at question but definitely there is a listening "burn in" for your ears as you get acustomed to the new equipment. How you assign the "improvements" (on... | |
| Arcam A32 vs. ML 383, Macintosh MA6900, YBA, other cdc, thanks for your input. I am currently using the Arcam A32 so am not considering the A85 but mentioned it for comparisons as it has a similar sound to the A32, albeit less power. I think MF amps are on the same league as the A32 (I have auditi... | |
| Arcam A32 vs. ML 383, Macintosh MA6900, YBA, other Thanks all for your responses. I am of course interested on the actual improvement from the A32 to one of those ints listed. But I am sure there will be one because the A32, although a nice integrated, is not in that league. It is very insightful ... | |
| What speakers to Buy. Big Room -- Bookcase App. Whichever bookshelf speaker you choose it will generally sound much better on stands than on the bookcase. I had a pair of B&W CDM1 NTs on the shelves and the sound improved dramatically when I brought them forward with stands. If you really n... | |
| Best speaker new or used 2,000 for ROCK? If you listen to rock then for most recordings you don't really want a very neutral speaker unless you tweak with the tone controls. I own a pair of N805s and they don't shine with rock although sometimes they surprise me.I have listened to the B&... | |
| aurios isolation and espresso You guys are so full of crap. I tried the Aurios bearings under my gaggia classic and could not taste a difference. maybe my taste buds are screwed but that is just junk the high-end coffee machine dealers try to screw you with. yeah, right, "more... | |
| Review: Y B A Passion Integre Amplifier Did you audioned the ML383 and YBA with similar setups. If so, which one and what was your impression regarding the ML. I don't plan on upgrading very soon but if I do I would consider these two among others. Thanks. | |
| Musical Fidelity A3.2 Integrated Vs Krell KAV-300i I haven't heard the A3.2 or the Krell 300.But, you might also check the MF A300. That is a very good integrated and more powerful (150Wpc). Or maybe spend some more and check an Arcam FMJ A32 (100Wpc). That is what I have and sounds excellent for ... |
