| How good is the Outlaw 750 Amp? I own a 750 for use in my HT system. I is a good amp and absolutely outstanding in its price range. The 750 does not double its power into 4ohms, and may occasionally lack some of the high current slam of more robust designs. I have heard most of ... | |
| Amp for Dynaudio Confidence 3 s I own a pair of Confidence 5s and use Classe' CAM-350s as amplification. Listened to Pass, Classe' Plinius, ML and others. Didn't like ML, sounded too "dark". Liked Plinius, thought wasn't a good value. Really liked the Pass and Classe', woud have... | |
| PARADIGM REFERENCE SPEAKERS I have the Studio 80s and Studio 40s in my Home entertainment system. I think they are an excellent value at their pricepoint.If you're looking for a 5 channel amp I would suggest something in the Outlaw 750, ATI 1505 range | |
| Dynaudio Contour vs. Confidence My purchase decision came down to the Contour 3.3 and Confidence 5. The Contour is a great speaker, but the Confidence 5 is in a totally different class. If you compare them with good amplification, the soundstage, treble extension and imaging of ... | |
| What's your profession? Age? I am a management consultant, age 38, $37k system. | |
| So many choices what to buy? One more vote for Dynaudio. Great speakers,build quality is excellent ( but kind of boring), and the Dynaudio North America people are helpful and responsive. When I wanted to hear the Confidence 5s they shipped a pair to the dealer for me to list... | |
| How much does your system retail for? $32,757 excluding rack and amp stands, plus about $2000 in room treatment. plus about $5000 of crap in the closet not currently in use. | |
| Speaker punishing bass Try the digital remaster of " Flying in a Blue Dream" by Joe Satriani. | |
| Classe preamps I have a Classe CP-60 that I use w/ a Wadia 860x,Classe' CAM-350s and Dynaudio Confidence 5s. I have tried the Wadia direct, some tube preamps and other SS preamps and stuck with the Classe'. I like their preamps. Many people don't like them becau... | |
| Capacitance: Help me understand Once again. I appreciate the info. However two things to think about when talking about these issues. 1)the interconnects in question are silver 2) due to the cable construction which is strands (162 I think) wrapped around the exterior of a tube ... | |
| Capacitance: Help me understand Thanks to everyone for your responses. I continue to be impressed by the amount of information available on this forum.I now think I have a general understanding of capacitance, which leads me to a further question. Wouldn't the effect of a high c... | |
| Capacitance: Help me understand Maybe since I managed to double post this I should amend my comments above to read I am "stupid and clueless" | |
| Wadia with or without a preamp ? In my system the Wadia 860x direct would make you scratch your own eyes out after about twenty minutes of listening to most CDs. I don't know if it was an issue with the Wadia, the quality of the recordings I listen to, or other elements of the si... | |
| classe audio questions I have never used Classe' repair services but have called w/ technical and "what if" questions on several occasions. The staff was both helpful and knowledgable, and very, very, patient. |
