| Considering new amp - Mccormack I think the McCormack's would be just what you are looking for. If you happen to live within about two hours of Philadelphia I would be willing to offer up a pair of McCormack DNA-1 Monoblocks for a listening session. This will give you an idea if... | |
| Running a set of NHT 2.5I The 4004 would work very well, also it will take care of your future needs should you decide to upgrade your speakers down the road. That 4004 MK2 here would work fine if you can swing it. | |
| Running a set of NHT 2.5I Thirsty93I run a McCormack .5 Deluxe on my 2.5's and it really brings out the best that they have to offer. Also if you happen to come across one try the Aragon 8002 but those are hard to come by. | |
| McCormack SMC Audio upgrades: how good are they? ChihoYou state your budget is $3K-$4K for the amp, is that after you sell the DNA? If not find a used amp here on Agon, if you are not happy with the way it compares to the DNA 125 Gold you can sell it and try another. The point is you won't loose... | |
| running active and passive together P.S. Also make sure the PSB Gold i can be bi-amped. Just because theres two pair of speaker connections they may be connected together in the speaker at the crossover. | |
| running active and passive together Wow running those two different amps like that might not be the best idea. The McCormack is a lot better sounding amp than the Acurus, you might achieve better results running just the McCormack, but if you want to try bi-amping use the McCormack ... | |
| McCormack monoblocks using DNA-HT1 / DNA-0.5 Mscott58If what you suggest is possible then you would have essentially a fully balanced two channel amp in a single chassis. This sounds like a lot of work on Steve and Kris's part. But if you do some reading on Agon you will find that Steve is a... | |
| Help w/ McCormack RLD-1 integrated into my HT Your RLD-1 has HT pass through. I pulled this off the web site "the RLD-1 features a Theater mode, which sets the RLD-1 to unity gain and locks out the volume and balance controls, passing control to your surround sound processor". You might want ... | |
| Bi-Amp Basics - NHT 29s Another OptionUse two Aragon 8008X3's and pick up a NHT SW3 Slave and you would have one awesome 5.1 and 2 channel system. The Aragon's work great with the NHT's also. Not sure if these are within your budget. But just a suggestion. | |
| Bi-Amp Basics - NHT 29s What you might want to consider, using the five channel amp to drive the 2.9's and the AC2 and your current amp to power your surrounds. Use four of the channel to vertically drive your 2.9's and the fifth to drive the AC2. This would make for a m... | |
| Preamp for McCormack DNA-125 Gold? Budget $2k Have you thought about one of the McCormack Preamps? If you like the sound they produce you could have it upgraded also. I currently use a TLC-1 Deluxe driving a pair of DNA-1 Deluxe Golds with outstanding results. My deluxe is schedule to get the... | |
| Passive Preamps? Anyone? Two others that you can try the McCormack TLC-1 and the McCormack Micro Line Drive. The TLC offers a passive and a buffered output while the Micro L/D offers a passive and an active output, the active output has an adjustable output of +/-6bd of g... | |
| Ground Loop Issue 427 SBankIf you can take the amps to a friends house that's nowhere near the radio tower and plug them in. This will eliminate the radio tower from the equation. | |
| Trying to extract more from my Vandersteen DrewyouGlad to hear you are enjoying your upgrades, I have my TLC-1Dlx scheduled for the Gold upgrade along with having the Carbon wire installed. They told me it would be after the first of the year before they could get started on it. I have pai... | |
| Vandersteen 2WQ vs Martin Logan Depth Gentlemen sorry for the late reply but been busy with my system. Yes I plan to add an aditional 2Wq to my system I just need to allow my FUNd money to build back up. Two 2Wq's have been in my plan all along, just figured I would take the plunge an... |
