| B&W vs Von Schweikert house sound? plus he has great taste in women9rw: Is he married to your sister?Maineac, I've read alot about the Jr, and what a great bargain it is. But does it really compare to the 803/2D, or the VSA 4SR/mkii and VSA 5HSE/SE? | |
| B&W vs Von Schweikert house sound? Thanks for the responses so far. I know there are many other speakers out there, but for the purpose of this thread, I'm only interested in comparisons between these two brands. I am not interested in other brands at this time.I listen to lots of ... | |
| B&W vs Von Schweikert house sound? Uh...that was helpful (not). I'm looking for a bit more descriptive answers by people who've actually heard the two products and can make a comparison for me. BTW, Dave, I know you've been around these parts for a while, but that was just basicall... | |
| HELP: how to eliminate speaker HUM? Hey guys, thanks. After I posted, I took out the Rowland Capri preamp from my HT system (had used for 2 chnl)and that did the trick for all speakers except for the sub. The sub has had hum for a long time, and has been plugged into a Monster 5100 ... | |
| What's wrong? Nuforce/Capri no better than Sunfire Thanks Al. Interesting (though a bit overly technical for a non-techie like me, lol). Couple of observations: clearly I like the power/current paradigm better on my B&Ws, but I doubt these speakers were designed with p/c paradigm in mind. Also... | |
| What's wrong? Nuforce/Capri no better than Sunfire For anyone who still cares, here's an update with some very interesting news: I heard a difference between amps!Actually, it was the same amp, my Sunfire. As a previous poster reminded me, the Sunfire offers two different outputs: voltage, which... | |
| What's wrong? Nuforce/Capri no better than Sunfire Tvad, sorry for the late reply. Been busy. I really appreciate your response. No, LOL, you haven't nor couldn't have bullied me in any way. I don't get bullied, period. I was preaching in a general way, and I used the term only in the sense that s... | |
| What's wrong? Nuforce/Capri no better than Sunfire I have to agree with Jim. I really struggle with the concept of having to learn how to hear , and needing long periods of time to begin to hear subtle differences. Yes, some things like fatigue set in over time, but by and large, if the difference... | |
| What's wrong? Nuforce/Capri no better than Sunfire Al, Tvad: I think that is exactly what happened with that Wynton Marsalis cut I mentioned earlier today. That was the first time I heard a real difference. As I said in that post though, the difference was in favor of the Sunfire pair, not the sup... | |
| What's wrong? Nuforce/Capri no better than Sunfire Tvad. Amen to that. I can't believe I'm already at >$20k retail value (thank god for agon), and that's not including the capri and nuforce. Maybe my kids will be able to go to college after all, lol. | |
| What's wrong? Nuforce/Capri no better than Sunfire "Clearly, I have a barrier comprehending the positive nature of your journey." LOL. Tvad, that's pretty funny! We're cool. (Can a 51 yr old still use language like that?) I think that the torture aspect may be more the reader's own, as anyone read... | |
| What's wrong? Nuforce/Capri no better than Sunfire Tvad, actually, you've got it wrong bud. I'm not tortured at all, just surprised. If you've been following along, I consistently say that I'm loving the sound, whichever combo is playing it. I'm just sharing my experience. And, I haven't listened ... | |
| What's wrong? Nuforce/Capri no better than Sunfire I continue to do comparisons. I just compared a VERY well recorded song by Wynton Marsalis, cut #2, "you and me" from "The Magic Hour" CD. Unbelievably well recorded. Sound is amazing. Hand claps, his horn, big bass, drums, rims, cymbals, piano, e... | |
| What's wrong? Nuforce/Capri no better than Sunfire Jim/Yoby:I asked in my previous post if anyone in NYC/LI area wanted to swap. A fellow agoner who lives here on Long Island emailed me(he's interested in hearing the Nuforce and the Capri) and he has the Dodd tube preamp, so maybe I'll get the cha... | |
| What's wrong? Nuforce/Capri no better than Sunfire For what it's worth, I have heard a difference in electronics before. I was at Harvey Sound in NY, and I listened to a nice pair of Vienna Acoustics spkrs, first with NAD M3, then with McIntosh MA6500. NAD wasOK but dull, while Mac had lively, toe... |
