| Just when I thought digital could not match analog There is nothing but fluff on their website, no information at all.... with statements like "Cryogenically Treated Integrated Circuits", "Proprietary Multiple Tuned Regulation". There is also another rave post on audiocircle that looks a lot like ... | |
| b w 604 s3 port plugs I have a pair of 703s in smallish Bedroom and they do not need plugs. I tried them in that room before and it seemed to change the tone of the bass.... | |
| Thiel CS7.2 vs Revel Salon2 Thanks for the review.What are you missing with the 7.2s that made you look for an upgrade. Is it just the up grade itch? Also how did you think the imaging and coherency compared to the 7.2? I feel those two aspects are Thiels strengths. | |
| Anyone spent time with the Totem Wind? Johnnyb53, Your thoughts on the room set up mirror my own. I have an ok understanding of how the room was going to effect the sound. I also listen pretty quiet (70-75dB) compared to most people on this site. I feel my lower listening volume tends ... | |
| anyone had a listen to the b w 803d's I have found Marantz to sound pretty good and be very under rated. It is hard to say because B&Ws are one of the few brands that REALLY need lots of power... You can get lots of power cheap from Rotel (very cheap used). I heard The 803D back t... | |
| Anyone spent time with the Totem Wind? Dgaylin, Thanks for the input. That might just be the real truth. They just seemed like a really good buy at 1/2 the price of the other speakers I am looking at. But it might save me another upgrade down the road to just skip the winds all together. | |
| anyone had a listen to the b w 803d's I agree 100% with S7horton. They are a good speaker and I have liked them every time I have heard them (even on cheap rotel stuff). But there are better deals out there.To me B&W (I have owned a few) have a slight coloration in the upper mids.... | |
| Anyone spent time with the Totem Wind? The Cary tub amp was CAD 120S CAD 120S and I believe all cables and interconects were Audiokinesis.I plan to give them another good listen before I write them off. l liked them much better than a lot of speakers I have demoed. He also offered me ... | |
| Anyone spent time with the Totem Wind? Tpreaves,Yes I agree but I have only heard these speakers in one room and system (and for only an hour). I am a believer that the room and system can greatly change the way a speaker sounds. My other issue is I have never used any of the equipment... | |
| Struggling with right/left channel balance, HELP? Well I got my benchmark DAC1 HDR back today. They "recalibrated" it, I listened to it for a few hours and I did not hear any imbalance. I will measure it this weekend and see how balanced it is. | |
| Bel Canto s300iu versus Peachtree Nova: thoughts? I had a nova. It sounded pretty good out of the box. My issue with the nova is the volume control. It moves way to fast from the remote.... I had to get up and use the volume on the unit. My volume was also not very balance left/right but that mig... | |
| JL Audio manual for troubleshooting-funny... That's pretty funny. | |
| Struggling with right/left channel balance, HELP? "any changes in right ear vs left ear hearing at various freguencies and loudness? "I you are asking about my hearing, not that I know of. I get a test every year at work and my ears are pretty good (I am 28...) hopfully they stay that way.I measu... | |
| Struggling with right/left channel balance, HELP? Yes is have swapped the computer channels in the audio set up. I have also tried a CD player with the same results.I talked to a few people at benchmark today. They seem to think the problem was my low level listening(70-75dB). The said the below ... | |
| Thiel speakers--can you power them with reciever? If your receiver has pre-outs you can run a two channel power amp to just the front and use the receiver power for all other channels.When I first started about 8 years ago in college I was very tight on money and bought a pair of B&W 703s (90... |
