| Sonus Faber Dominus Grand Piano vs Usher 6831/6731 I think I'm in pretty good shape upstream with a Naim CD5i for source, Arcam AVP-700 pre-processor used in two channel direct mode, and Outlaw Model-755 amp. Eventually I would like to add a Belles two channel amp, but I have to get the Ushers fir... | |
| Sonus Faber Dominus Grand Piano vs Usher 6831/6731 I'm sorry I heard the Usher 8571's recently. Only a couple of months ago I bought a pair of Energy Veritas 2.3i's that just blew me away. Then I ran across the 8571's. Now I can't get them off my mind. I wont be able to afford the 8561's so I'll a... | |
| What speakers can make a convert of Maggie lovers? I replaced my 1.6's with Energy Veritas 2.3i's and don't regret if for a minute. I loved the hughe soundstage the Maggie's had and didn't think I could match it with a conventional speakers, but the Veritas do. And, they do much more.However, if I... | |
| I love my Vandersteen's but . . . . . . . . I would throw the Energy Veritas 2.3i's into the mix. I started out to buy a pair of B&W 803's and came home with these.Also, some of my new favorites are the Ushers, but in the price range you seem to be looking at it would have to be one of ... | |
| Speaker recommendations in the $3,500-$4,000 range Energy Veritas 2.4i. | |
| Anyone heard or own Klipsch RF7 ? I've heard them and was not impressed. I'm surprised you said they had a huge soundstage. The one's I heard sounded like the music was meshed together between the two speakers with no depth what so ever. As the previous poster mentioned, their sou... | |
| arcam cd73 at end of life span? Recently I was in the market for a new redbook CDP. I narrowed my choices to the Naim CD5i, Arcams CD192t (not the 73T) and the Apollo. Vast majority recommended the Naim, but nearly everyone said if cost was an issue go with the Apollo and chose ... | |
| "Warm" sounding digital interconncect Take a look at this site: http://www.bluemarbleaudio.com/This guy makes his own cables and they are absolutely fantastic. His cables have to be one of the best kept secrets in the audio. He's got a small shop in San Antonio, TX. I was in the camp ... | |
| Rega Apollo vs Naim CD5i vs Arcam CD73T The list on the CD5i is $1699. If you got offered the 5X for this price that was a huge discount.I also heard the 5X in a very good system, Usher speakers, Naim pre-amp, Belle's amp, mega dollar silver cables, etc.I owned a Rega Planet 2000 and wh... | |
| ADVICE Please: Best Processor under $3K? I've got the Arcam AV-700 and couldn't be happier. It sounds fantastic with music and movies. The FMJ is supposed to be even better. The only other one on your list that I've heard was the Integra and it wasn't even close to my 700. | |
| Rega Apollo vs Naim CD5i vs Arcam CD73T Thanks for the response. I was hoping to get more, but I guess not than many are familiar with these units.Your thoughts on the Arcam is what I have heard from others, including my dealer who sold me my Arcam AVP-700. I still haven't heard the Apo... | |
| Outlaw 990/7125 I have the Sherwood P-965 on order. I don't know if your awared of it, but the 990 is built from the P-965 platform. Same processor, different looks, and different features. The 990 out balanced outputs, individual cross over settings for each cha... | |
| Horns for Rock. Another vote for the Klipsh Cornwall II's or LaScalla's. Some of the best rock speakers ever. Did I mention they will play really loud? | |
| Help me shorten my list... I've not auditioned many of the speakers on your list, but when I went to replace my Maggie 1.6's I set out to audition the B&W N803's as the Nautilus line has always been some of my favorites. Ran accross the Veritas 2.3i's at the dealer, com... | |
| Speakers in the range of $3 to $4.5k per pair? Make sure to give the Energy Veritas 2.3 and 2.4i's a listen. |
