| Synergistic cable match for Krell + B&W Nautilus Good choices include Tara Labs, Cardas, and JPS Labs. | |
| Solid State amp with wide soundstage Bryston 4B-ST | |
| Any Opinions on Tannoy Speakers? They have my vote. The Tannoy "D" series are one of the few to get the tonal balance and presentation right. They have better than average sensitivity and could be powered easily by some tube amps. | |
| bryston 14bst vs mark levinson 336 Bryston has excellent bass control but it isn't warm. I wouldn't call it bright either but it is very accurate and it will not roll off the highs at all. Sounds like you would like Simaudio W-5 or W-10. | |
| What speakers do you recommend? Thiel CS2.3 or Tannoy D700 | |
| How do you determine how much to spend on speakers Krazeeyk Yes you have to start somewhere. You have to know where you are going too. Decide on good material to audition with. Use the same material everywhere. Listen critically for the aspects of the music that are important to you. Take notes wh... | |
| How do you determine how much to spend on speakers KrazeeykBuilding your system is an art form. You can be an expressionist or you can paint by numbers. My point is to go for that special kind of sound that excites you, puts a grin on your face all day so you can't wait to come home to it to liste... | |
| Help with an Amp in the 1500 ballpark used None of these amps will control the base as well as the 4B-ST. However the BC22 and DNA-225 are very nice also. Since you have a like the tubey sound you should also consider the SimAudio W-3. I have a 4B-ST. | |
| Can someone help me please? Given your living situation I would look into a good pair of headphones. | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Has anyone tried WBT or Cardas RCA connectors with the OTA wire? | |
| Anyone Switch from Electrostatic/Planar to Dynamic I used to listen to a pair of Carver Amazing Loudspeakers, I still own them. Anyway the speakers sound beautiful but they are so laidback to the point of being flat out lazy. It takes an enormous amount of power to wake them up and even then they ... | |
| what is the best speaker cable? You don't say how you like your music to sound. If you prefer an accurate sound I suggest Kimber interconnects and either Kimber or Alpha-Core speaker cables. For a euphonic or more romantic sound go with Cardas, Tara Labs, JPS Labs, Harmonic-Tech... | |
| Carver Amazing Platinum The guy you need to contact is Fernando Mac. He rebuilds these speakers and supplied new drivers to Genesis Tech. They used the same drivers in some of their speakers. Sometimes you will see Fernando selling the Carver Amazing Loudspeaker on ebay.... | |
| Best speakers for a small room? 10'X14' I own the Thiels CS2.3. I am very pleased with them. But I would caution anyone considering them for a small room. Because of their first order crossover the listener needs to be positioned 10 feet or more from the speaker. The drivers in the Thie... | |
| AQ vs Siltech vs Tara vs Van den hul shootout How long did you break the cables in? I have auditioned the Air 2's before and while I would generally agree with your assessment in my system the brightness was recording dependent. It was only a problem on 2 tracks out of a couple hundred CD's I... |
