| Ideas for separates around $1500??? I recently acquired Rotel separates for about that price new from a dealer (the recently discontinued 130 w/ch amp and the better preamp) - I am very impressed. For the money, they are very, very good. I was coming from much more expensive integr... | |
| Harbeth SHL5 vs 40.1 Markus, please let us know what you think about the differences. I had the SHL5 and someday may want to go to the 40's. I liked the treble of the SHL5's, wondering how the 40's compare in the highs, and also wondering how the 40's do bass. I ultim... | |
| mcintosh vs jeff rowland I owned the MA6900, and the Concentra and Concerto. Aside from system synergy, in general I preferred the Rowlands. Quieter backgrounds, and a bit more detail perhaps. The Mac's are nice, but the Rowland seems to have a bit more musical enjoyment.... | |
| Best Used Speaker Under $4,000 w/ Respectable Lows I recently got a pair of Tyler D2's, he sells used for about that price. Everything you are describing is there - awesome speaker. Tremendous bass, dynamic, neutral, non- fatigueing, and solid (as long as you don't mind 140 lbs!). The quality of t... | |
| Most musical integrated amp you have heard? To this date my favorite is the Rowland Concentra. I had the first version, not sure if the 2nd Concentra II sounded different, other than it did have more power. | |
| Very best 5 ch amp to feed a complete PSB system The Cary Cinema 5 is excellent, and a relatively good value also. | |
| How Much Does Damage Affect Value? Since most products come up often on Audiogon and many in near mint condition, trying to sell one with damage takes a lot off the original used price, figure at least 30 % but probably more like half. I recently had this problem with fedex and was... | |
| Has anyone ever switched to Harbeth I have not heard Dynaudios, but I understand they have excellent dynamic capability, some models better than others perhaps. I loved the Harbeth SHL5's but needed a speaker that could handle heavy music without breaking up. If that's an issue, it ... | |
| Good stores in LA 2nd or third for Weinhardt - only dealer I've ever been to whose customer service (and appreciation) has nothing to do with price. No 'snobbery' here. While he sells everything to include mega-buck stuff, he's happy to take in even modest trades a... | |
| Tyler Decade D2s: review I'm awaiting delivery of a pair of D2's after quite a while of loving my LSS. Question is, so many of you have taken delivery of the new Decade line and posted here a couple months ago. After this time, what are your impressions? Thanks. | |
| Advice on a nice integrated is needed I've owned the JRDG Concentra(1), Concerto (which I still have), and in between the mac 6900 - I have not heard the 7000 or the Continuum 500. The Concentra is still one of my favorite all time amps, although I never was able to compare it directl... | |
| B&W Matrix 802 S3 pairing with McIntosh amp I owned the M802's with the Mac MC300 years ago - of 4 other amps I had had up to the point it was the best. The B&W's like power, not sure what the 7200 is rated at. Mine only sounded great with the higher wattage (I owned 2 300 w/ch amps wit... | |
| Tyler U7? I believe the model is 7U - not that it matters. But look at what is available in the threads here on the Linbrook Monitor, which is the same thing, except the 7U extends the cabinet to the floor. Perhaps more bass with the 7U with the greater cab... | |
| Tyler Decade D2s: review If Tyler has a 'house sound', I wonder if the Decade series will fit into that house sound or move into a new area. As a long time LSS owner, I can't help but wonder if any compromises have been made in the new line. The two things I would want to... | |
| Bookshelves It seems like you are asking for a neutral speaker more than anything else, with perhaps more emphasis on detail than bass or midrange warmth, and not being annoying in the treble? I'd look at the Polk monitor 40's, which are very dry but enjoyabl... |
