| Best Speaker for classical music Fully restored Apogee Diva or Full range if your room is big enough.Its sound stage and imaging is remarkable, very suitable for full orchestration music. | |
| ~$15K floorstanders: opinions sought That’s the perfect room size for Gershman Grande Avant Garde at 15K. | |
| Who's using Harbeth with tubes, what speaker model and how many watts per channel? My Harbeth C7 sits idle most of the time since I got Gershman Avant Garde. Occasionally I switch to C7 with Plinius or Audio Research SS amp. I think C7 works fine with 50 wpc solid state amp in a small room. | |
| Do you use a Subwoofer when listening to stereo? I use a sub (12" peerless XXLS subwoofer + KG5230 amp) occasionally when I listen to stereo. Certain music sounds good with little bit more bass added even though my full range speakers go pretty low. | |
| Wilson Audio WATT/PUPPY or Gershman Grand Avant Garde? My amp is Plinius SA 102 and Audio Research 150M.2.I think 150W tube power is more than enough. Not only the power, but the quality of power would matter too.Your room size, the listening volume level, and the speaker cable will make difference to... | |
| Reviews on JungSon amp/preamp combo: JA-1/JA-99C But 20 years younger and dumber I decided to hope for the best. I guess many of us fell into this trap. In my case, it's not been that bad.I've purchased one integrated tube amp (Yaqin MC10L, $550) and tube preamp/phono (Yaqin MS12B, $250) dir... | |
| Something better than Marantz PM7000N at around $1000? With further research, I’ve decided to stay with what I have:Use Denon HT receiver for computer audio, and use Bluetooth connection for streaming. My listening is still 90+ % from CD and LP, and I am slowly listening more from wireless and digital... | |
| Reviews on JungSon amp/preamp combo: JA-1/JA-99C Thanks for your reply. That's pretty bad. You purchased more than one JungSon gears and they were all bad?I did not know this brand, but just recently came across a youtube review from ZeroFidelity. I don't know the guy (Sean?) at ZeroFidelity, bu... | |
| Wilson Audio WATT/PUPPY or Gershman Grand Avant Garde? I think 8.5W is a bit too narrow. Mine is close to 15W. This speaker may easily overwhelm the room. | |
| Something better than Marantz PM7000N at around $1000? Thanks for the info.Looks like I can go for either Marantz PM7000N or Yamaha R-N803. | |
| Something better than Marantz PM7000N at around $1000? audiojediYes, I've seen many receivers with BT, but I pretty much ignored receivers because they then to be much lesser quality. | |
| Something better than Marantz PM7000N at around $1000? Thanks for your reply. I did not search enough to know that NAD or other brand int amps have BT built in. I was mainly searching for wireless and BT capability and I could not find similar amps as PM7000N. I guess my question was not clear enough... | |
| WiFi USB dongle for Oppo 105D I've reached to a conclusion that Oppo 105 was not designed to work as a network player. The best bet is to play music from computer either with direct connection (USB or HDMI) or wireless with USB dongle. | |
| Beware of Wayne's audio - Poor product quality & worst business ethics Interestingly, Wayne audio has 100% positive feedback from audiogon and ebay.Just saying. | |
| I need a good looking and good sounding speaker .... I recently bought a Gershman Grande Avant Garde. It retails close to 15k, but you can probably get them for less. People seem to think it has a very high WAF. |
