| Replacing Forests??? The Sonus Faber Grand Piano Home were a contender for me back in the day. I did enjoy their sound. I also listened to the Dali MS5's recently which were brilliant, but in a whole other price class. Quite possibly, I simply may need to start back a... | |
| Replacing Forests??? To me, when the Forests were working well, they would still be my personal speaker of choice of the 3. Just my personal opinion though. | |
| Replacing Forests??? Walkman, you raise a lot of good points. I think either the Hawk or Sttaf paired with the Simaudio in a slightly smaller room woudl sound great. The Sttafs sound great at lower volumes, but to have that 'draw you into the music' that the Arro base... | |
| Replacing Forests??? OK, I had a chance to give a little listen between the two this weekend. In my system and space, the Hawk brings a lot to the table - more presence, fuller sound, more precise imaging and tonal accuracy. In movies the dialouge was more audible and... | |
| Replacing Forests??? I listened to them a long time ago, when I originally got the Tabu. They were impressive, but at the time, the Tabu just had some 'magic' that drew me into the presentation more - I think it was part of it's unique capacitor-less design? I am not ... | |
| PS Audio Ultimate Outlet vs. UPC Well, after Paul's recommendations on the AA PSAudio forum I have ordered a Power Director from PSAudio. Thanks for the help! | |
| Replacing Forests??? I think I'll remain sub-less as well. I like to keep my system as simple and uncluttered as possible! | |
| Replacing Forests??? Beheme, can I hook a sub up direct to the DVD player via the 5.1 channel outs? I noticed a subwoofer out here - then the sub would only be used while using the Sony as the source?I experimented with turning the speakers to 'small' and it just soun... | |
| Replacing Forests??? Walkman, I am pretty impressed with them thus far. I haven't been a huge fan of the Hawk when hearing them in several different setups, but I am thinking the synergy of amplification pairing may have been partially to blame? I always preferred the... | |
| Replacing Forests??? Walkman, yes it is good that I haven't seen the indicator light in awhile. I am leary to crank the volume while using the Sony DVD to see if I can make it reoccur though, hence keeping it under '31'. | |
| Replacing Forests??? Thanks Upstateaudio, I usually don't listen much louder than 90db anyway - more in the 80db range.Beheme, I think the only issue I have with adding a sub is that I would prefer just the Hawks for music - sans sub. Is there something I am missing t... | |
| Replacing Forests??? Upstateaudio, did you blow your woofer before or after the first 150 hours?Walkman, yeah, I don't know what caused the indicator light to come on? It has never come on when the Nova is played, no matter at what level. I haven't seen it on the Sony... | |
| Replacing Forests??? Walkman, my db measurements:Sony DVP999ES at '20' equals approx. 55db (CD)Sony DVP999ES at '28' equals approx. 65-70db (DVD)Simaudio at '20' equals approx. 55db (CD)Simaudio at '27' equals approx. 70db (CD)So that is where I have been listening at... | |
| Replacing Forests??? TOTEM's RESPONSE (to my inquiry of using the Hawks in HT):'the Simaudio unit should have no problem driving the Hawk's in home theater (especially if you only listen to moderate / high levels )that warning is more for multi channel receivers that ... | |
| Replacing Forests??? Walkman, our components are identical then. Simaudio did mention to check all connections as it could be a source component as well. Thinking about it, the light only ever came on while using the Sony 999ES as a source. I have cranked music throug... |
