| Magico A3 vs. Focal Kanta 2 Congrats you got what you wanted. They will be just fine with your McIntosh gear. If you get the urge to try a tube amp with them just pick one up used and if you don’t see an improvement turn it over again. | |
| Seeking informed advice on speaker acquisition (Vandersteen vs. OHM Walsh) Like Tomic said you can listen to the Vandies at Alan's but with Ohm you will have to take advantage of their 120 day trial. For the money the 2CE Sig will be hard to beat if your room will allow proper setup. I have a pair of 2CE Sigs that have... | |
| Looking for a high end integrated to suit Dynaudio contour 5.4's No I haven't just thought I'd throw it out there as an option to look at as I am considering it to use with my Verity's as well as the FLS-10. May be hard to here as I don't know how many dealers they have other than the same dealer/distributor a... | |
| Looking for a high end integrated to suit Dynaudio contour 5.4's You might also want to look at the hybrid Trilogy 925. | |
| Nuforce STA200 Well if you give the Nuforce the room it needs to breath hopefully it will hang in. If you really like the Nuforce you might want to start looking for a more compatible speaker though. | |
| Nuforce STA200 I had the Job 225 amp for several years and now have the Nuforce which is a scaled down version in my office system. Neither amp is by nature fond of difficult loads. They have both easily handled speakers easier to drive up to almost $20k with ... | |
| Nuforce STA200 Why are surprised as we are talking about a speaker with a stated efficiency of 85 db and impedance of 3.4 ohms and that is just stated not measured. I am sure measurements by JA or Soundstage would find that both are overstated. The is the same ... | |
| Kinki Studio EX-M1 Thanks Alvin. | |
| Kinki Studio EX-M1 The only way to know if it is a true standby mode is to turn it off with the the front knob or remote then wait a couple of hours and see what temperature it reads. If no standby it should be room temp by then. Then if you want to be positive unp... | |
| Kinki Studio EX-M1 DevI don't see any power switch on the back so I don't think it is capable of a true "idling" standby mode like many amps. Appears it is either on or off. | |
| Nuforce STA200 Even the Job 225 on which this amp is based does not like speakers that dip below 4 ohms. The problem is the speaker not the amp. Elac recommends amps with 140 wpc and 4 ohm stable. That is the problem with these "marvel" Elac speakers and before... | |
| Which DAC as a preamp? Nuprime DAC-10. Fully balanced preamp with a DAC included. Designed to work with their own "Class D" amps. Has worked with W4S, Nord, Mivera, Nuprime and Job amps in my FR system. | |
| Magico A3 vs. Focal Kanta 2 If you were planning on going to listen to them take along something like the Stereophile test CD and run it through the test tones from top to bottom. Not likely that there is anything wrong with speakers in that condition used with that level o... | |
| Magico A3 vs. Focal Kanta 2 If your looking at the pair listed on this site in the Bronx they look to be in top rate condition from a quality seller so I would work a deal and be done. | |
| Magico A3 vs. Focal Kanta 2 If they speakers you are looking for were used with quality equipment and not abused then they are perfectly fine. I still own speakers from the late 70's that are in as new condition and play that way too. Since foam speaker surrounds went away... |
