| Good 2 channel premap with HT bypass Also check out the Audio Research LS25B MkII, and the Pass Labs X2.5 | |
| Which speaker is best for my Krell amp? I've owend the NHT 3.3, and Goldi, and still own two KAV-250a amps and a KAV-250a/3. The 3.3 would probably be too "bright" on the top end, especially with a Krell. The Goldi would be good though. It's top end is better (not so bright), and while ... | |
| Classe Amp buzzing/humming...any ideas?? I had a similar problem with my previous Classe CA-150 and Krell KAV-250a amps. I knew the toroidal transformer was humming, but could not figure out why. After much fussing, I finally found that the 125A service panel for my house was defective. ... | |
| Best Power Conditioner? I know its not on your list, but the Equitech "Q" series balanced power conditioners are what I feel are the best. They have very powerful units that are still shelve "mountable". They even have in-wall units powerful enough to run your entire hom... | |
| Ready to Plunge into Aerials; One more question... I went with the 7B's (front and rear pairs) and a CC3B center. These are excellent pieces that all happen to use the same drivers...so they match particularly well. Of course, all Aerials will match pretty well, but I always like the drivers to be... | |
| Proceed AVP-2, Did they fix the glitches? Unfortunately, even the new AVP-2 does not use as good of quality D/A conversion in all other channels as it does the front two channels. Also it does not provide balanced/XLR outputs for the rear channels. For me, I have decided that these shortc... | |
| NEED HELP CHOOSING NEW DAC Check Muse as well. (www.museelectronics.com)Very nice stuff. | |
| Aerial 8B's tweeter type ? I know that the 10t, 7B and CC3B all use the same tweeter, so I would expect that the 8B does as well. But any Aerials are going to have a very similar sonic signature (especially for all the older "non-sealed" cabinet models). The newer sealed LR... | |
| Who has solved the HVAC air noise problem? Why not just turn the HVAC system off when you are doing critical listening? | |
| Retail vs. List Price I once bought a used pair of NHT 3.3's. The paperwork I received with the speakers included the original sales receipt. It showed a "special accomodation" price of dealer cost to the original purchaser of $860 per speaker. If you take $860 x 2 = $... | |
| Best Subwoofers? for my system Thanks everybody, Sugarbrie, adding another crossover via the high pass speaker terminals in front of my main speakers concerns me even though I'm sure it is of very high quality. Have you tried this set up? I don't have the space to have separate... | |
| What should I plug my system into? Check out Equitech products. They are the best company for balanced power sources. Balanced power is anything but "snake oil." Equitech's web site can explain it to you in detail. However, the first step (and I believe it the most important) is to... | |
| What High End Manufacturers Could Learn From Bose Two words...niche market. The advertising money (even if the relatively small high end companies had it) would for the most part be wasted. The small percentage of the population that is willing and able to spend considerably larger amounts of mon... | |
| What is a good speaker to match with Classe ca-100 I like NHT 2.5's with your amp. Other combinations work well too, i.e. CA-200 with NHT 2.9's, or CA-300 with NHT 3.3's, the two brands sonic signatures work well together. The NHT's are great but with some recordings are just a touch bright, but t... | |
| Best interconnects 2m for less than 200/pr used If your components have balanced XLR connections, you'll get better sound for your money going with "regular company" balanced cables than with "exotic brand" single ended cables. Try a music store like Sam Ash or Guitar Center, they both carry Mo... |
