| What amp do you use with your QUAD'S? I started with an Audio Research CA-50 with Quad ESL-63's. Upgraded to Cary SLM-100's and finally to a Cary 805c's. All worked very well. Only the Audio Research seemed like it needed a few more watts to properly drive the Quads. | |
| A little help please. Another vote for the Gallo Ref 3. Excellent imaging with a large sweet spot. Also, I found that Quad ESL-63's have a large sweet spot.Jeff | |
| A brutal review of the Wilson Maxx I think Hardesty is really on to something with his review. From now on, I am only reading reviews if they are based solely on the component's test-bench performance and engineering philosophy. I am sick and tired of having to read all those silly... | |
| Tubed amp for Paradigm Studio 100V3s...?? Take a look at VTL. They make excellent first tube amps as they require very little maintenance, and have the tube magic you're looking for. | |
| B&W 703 - How to tame the highs? Seriously. Give the Martin Logans a try. | |
| B&W 703 - How to tame the highs? I agree with the other posts. It's time to sell the speakers and move on. It's tough to admit that you made a mistake, but we have all done it. I bought a pair of speakers once that just did not match the equipment that I already had. The highs we... | |
| SET for Orchestral , Big Band etc. Cary 805C's with the right tube combination will do what you ask with most speakers. The 845C metal plate tube works well for the big orchestra sound. | |
| B&W 703 - How to tame the highs? What interconnects and speaker cables are you using? | |
| Reliability of Cary Audio Products I have had great experiences with my Cary products. My first Cary products were a used pair of SLM-100's bought from a Cary dealer. When I auditioned the amps, one was blowing fuses. The dealer selling the amps sent both amps back to Cary for serv... | |
| Wood cones - any experiences? I saw them at the Sharper Image. The system seemed to have excellent build quality. The sound was very smooth and natural. Of course it's tough to tell much about the sound quality with all the background noise at the Sharper Image. The system had... | |
| whats the biggest mistake you made? I wish I had my Cary SLM-100's back. WOW, did they sound good for how much they cost. They'd be a great start to a 2nd system. Also, some day, when I have the space for that 2nd system, I know I'll wish I had my Quad ESL-63's back.All that said, I... | |
| I got my Gallo Ref3's today When did they stop offering the tweeter switch? | |
| what causes the sss in words like 'thisss'? The right interconnects can help. Switching from some old Synergistic Research stranded silver interconnects to DiMarzio M-Path eliminated negative sibilance in my system.I am curious though, what power conditioner do those of you who suggested th... | |
| Which would you choose? If you have the space, I much prefer the Ascent to the Aeon. It is worth the price difference. A used pair of Sequels is certainly the bargain of the Martin Logan group, but it has been too long since I've heard them to make a direct comparison to... | |
| Warm interconnects recommendation DiMarzio M-Path. |
