| Dynaudio Audience vs. Contour Hi, John:I would say, a resounding yes based on my experience. I owned the Audience 70s for two years and moved to the 1.3SEs. From top to bottom, the 1.3SEs are superior performers in every way. I also had the Audience center (120C) and decided i... | |
| Question about Dynaudio 1.3SE and the new S 1.4?? I have experienced the top end brightness with the Dyn 1.4s both times I've auditioned them. Associated equipment was McIntosh MA 6900 and ML Integrated which IMO, are not bright in their presentation. Digital front and was the top line Rega and c... | |
| Cables for Musical Fidelity/Dynaudio system? It may be the MF. I'm not familiar with the X-150 but had a Musical Fidelity A300 on trial for over a month with Dynaudio Audience 70s and had a very similar experience. Break in was not an issue as the MF was a demo unit.The mids were way over bl... | |
| Dynaudio 52se - best integrated amp at low volume? Best is a relative term but based on the following review http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/volume_11_1/cayin-265ai-integrated-amplifier-3-2004.html , Class A amplification may be the best way to achieve what you're looking for. It appears that the p... | |
| Nat Cole's "Love is the Thing" on Groove Note The DCC is definitely an awesome sounding disc and perhaps Steve Hoffman's best along with the Elvis 24K. There are also two other Nat gold DCC titles which are excellent just in case one has money to burn.:)The gold DCCs are tube mastered recordi... | |
| Von Schweikert VR-4,Jr. Saki70, the VR-4JRs were powered by the $19K VAC integrated amp with a substantial outboard power supply, Aero Caitole transport, Electrocompaniet DAC and impressive cabling. I agree that the performance based on snippets of various recordings, wa... | |
| Review: Strunz and Farah - Primal Magic Strunz & Farah are terrific and the recording quality of their silver spinners is excellent.I have a few of their CDs with my favorite being "Heat of the Sun." Highly recommended!Jet | |
| import tax? I can't give you a figure but if manufactured in Canada, what Brian said. If it is not a Canadian home grown product, certainly find out before jumping.Jet | |
| Musical Fidelity X150 Integrated Amp I would be interesting to know why an amp with the power/current specs of the MF X150 is recommended for use only with speakers with sensitivity of 88dB and above. I read this doing a Google search for this amp. I owned the MF A300 dual mono (150 ... | |
| Calibrating New Pioneer Plasma I totally agree! The DVE naviagation menu definitely leaves a lot to be desired but it's an excellent tool once one figures it out.For me, it was easy to follow by going directly to Chapter 7 which will walk you through all the basic video adjustm... | |
| Revel M20 vs. Dynaudio Contour 1.3 MKII These are very different speakers! I suspect personal preference will dictate which one you would prefer.I've listened to both and own the 1.3SE. In my view, the M20s have a more forward presentation with the top end being a bit too hot for my ear... | |
| plasma on line ???? I live in NYC and plan to purchase online at hopefully in the not so distant furure. There are a few authorized online sellers of plasma screens with excellent reputations. For a ton of info on the subject, check out the plasma forum at avsforum.c... | |
| opinions on modern horn speakers I'm by no means an expert on horns but recently had the oppotunity to spend some quality time with the AG Solos at their Manhattan dealership. BTW, the owner, Bob, is a super guy and a total pleasure to deal with.The Solos are an extermely dynamic... | |
| Dynaudio Audience vs. Contour Dan,You may have answered your own qustion. If you prefer the A52 after carefully auditioning both, go for the A52. Pocket the money saved and buy music, movies and/or ???.The Contours are a more detailed speaker (D260 vs D28-2 tweeter) which you ... | |
| Review: Dynaudio Contour 1.3se Monitor Hi, coromac:Perfromance is typical Cary which IMO, is to say not overly soft in presentation (unlike onther tube gear I've played with) with excellent layering of vocals. The highs maintain the detail of a recording but with a smoothness that I ra... |
