| My ears are ready to retire! Another vote for the Naim Uniti Star/Nova. I'm powering my B&W 802D3's with the Star, and they sound marvelous. The bass is quite good. This is not my end-game combo though.As an aside, I directly compared the Naim Uniti Star to a Mac MA8900 s... | |
| How would you describe the sound of Luxman vs. McIntosh SS integrateds Luxman class A's are outstanding and punch far above their power rating. Over the years, I have really wanted to own Mac; however, there was always something missing. I prefer the Luxman sound. To my ears, it's not close at all. If you need the po... | |
| What frustrates you the most about seller’s for sale ads? I second price. Many individuals feel their used equipment is worth far more than reality. With the exception of some brands, you are lucky to get 60% of MSRP! | |
| Amp to drive Focal Kanta 3 Do not rule out the Michi S5 amp & P5 preamp. Incredible bang for the buck. A dealer recommended this combo to me and states that it competes with the Luxman M900u C900U combo for 1/3 of the price. BTW, he sells both brands.Also, look into the... | |
| Pass labs x260.8 versus xa160.8 Karmapolice,I echo you inquiry! I have noticed far more Xa160.8 listed rather than the X260.8. Even historic sales/listings of X260.8 are extremely rare. I am in the market and considering both of these amps in addition to one of the Luxman integr... | |
| Amp Size/Recommendation to Fill a Large Volume Room Also forgot to mention....when I took the speakers out of the box and positioned them, I did not hear anything??? I then hooked up that thingy called an amplifier and to my astonishment I heard the room kind of fill up with sound!!! ;-) | |
| Amp Size/Recommendation to Fill a Large Volume Room Millercarbon,What you are stating is that an 802d3 can not fill a room with sound?? Probably one of the more successful speaker designs in audio history. I'm definitely missing the point here! | |
| Pass INT-250 for B&W 800's PennPencil,You bring up an interesting point about utilizing just the 250.8 amp which I am seriously considering. I only require a digital system so I would have to obtain some level of streamer/dac/preamp with a volume control as a start. This op... | |
| Lyngdorf TDAI 2170 vs 3400 I have not heard either unit (no dealers within my vicinity). I was intrigued by the reviews and the room correction potential.What I have auditioned is listed below in order of my preference.Luxman 550 AXIILuxman 505 UXIINaim Supernait 3Anthem ST... | |
| Anthem STR Preamp & Pass Labs XA 30.8 vs Micromega M100 Soix,I like a rather warm sound rather than bright. Also, my room is quite challenging thus the room correction. | |
| Bricasti M1 vs DCS Debussy Thanks all thus far! I take no offense to a dealer's opinion. I am just trying to get the best unit possible within that $10k price range and not having to worry about upgrading a whole unit in 3 years. The inclusion of streaming capability within... |
