| For a second system I have been thinking of the Marantz Arch. @whatjd Who knew? | |
| SACD vs. Blu-Ray for audio quality/sonics @elevick You're probably right in most cases but there are folks with nice HT set-ups who use Blu-ray discs for audio only. They simply raise their projector screen for audio only eliminating any concern of a large flat screen breaking up the so... | |
| For a second system I have been thinking of the Marantz Arch. @roxy54 you beat me to it! | |
| Most overrated bands The fact that people actually listen to rap on purpose and even attach the word music to it speaks to the almost infinite musical tastes of mankind.overrated, underrated? As the singularity approaches, what will senscient beings think about the q... | |
| What do you consider the most musical speakers—$15000 & under @shadorne "Musical is a euphemistic term. It is a nice way of saying a speaker sounds nice even if it doesn’t sound realistic at all."I believe the word you are defining or describing above would be "euphonic" rather than "musical". For me, at l... | |
| Directionality of wire @almarg Fire phasers!💥 | |
| Best amps for everything EXCEPT bass I was just reading about the Ayres integrated. I can't see any reason that wouldn't work well for you! | |
| Directionality of wire @georgehifi Thanks for the link. I never looked at Geoff's stuff before. I consider myself to be pretty into system tweaking, but what I saw there makes my efforts absolutely mainstream! 😲 | |
| Help me narrow down some speaker choices OP I agree with you that the limiting factor in listening to the ATCs would probably be your amp. Great amp for efficient speakers, but at 85 db efficiency that is not what the ATCs are! My speakers are 85 db efficient and I would not expect m... | |
| Great music few are aware of. Any genre. I don't know about "few are aware of" but contemporary folk on the Stockfish label. Really well written and performed songs in absolutely reference sound. All Stockfish recordings must be guitar based and boy can they record a guitar. It's in t... | |
| Sentimental song. Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite at Christmas time. | |
| Best amps for everything EXCEPT bass @georgehifi WADR I would not recommend 25 watt per channel amp or anything under about 125 watts capable for the 85db efficiency Treo CTs. I have the Treo CTs mated to two Vandy subs. so cajun and I are in a similar situation. Although the 225 ... | |
| Speakers are the first piece of the puzzle The OP has it right with the thread title. The speakers' sensitivity spec and overall performance needs will inform your amplification. If you're in the ultra high efficiency mode then you can be looking at SETs that have those few, but glorious... | |
| Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade @cajunbaseball Congrats on the Treo CTs! 😀 On the day I picked up my CTs I listened to Vandy 1Cs with the Quicksilvers. Magical!!! I use SS with my Treos but I would love to hear my Treos with the Quicksilver.Good luck with the decision. | |
| Here's a fire starter: Analog is as good as SACD LPs and silver discs are different media with unique virtues specific to each. A very interesting thing to listen to are Stockfish DMM-SACDs where they find a happy medium between the media.😉 |
