| Recommended speakers around $10K used Dave, your reasoning is based on sound principle (no pun intended), but from experience with similar rooms the rear ported Linbrook Monitor (NOT with the bass modules, which need 4-5 feet from the wall), as long as thy're at least 12-18 inches fro... | |
| Low cost bedroom speakers The B&W 600 series is really nice for this use. I had a similar set up once using the 601's. | |
| Recommended speakers around $10K used If you must spend 10k then ignore this, but for what you want I highly recommend Tyler acoustics, the Linbrook (monitors only). Guitar/acoustic instruments are gorgeous through them, with fine detail and spacial info. They will give you the bass y... | |
| Everything Bach ever wrote This is really cool, thanks. | |
| SACD is it worth it? Only Pabelson and Theo mentioned it, but if you have a 5 Ch. system, - especially 5 identical speakers set up the way SACD recommends - it is truely worth it. Many of the SACDs that are hybrid (2 Ch/5 Ch) are amazing in 5 Ch compared to the 2 Ch v... | |
| "best" version for "Toccata and Fugue D minor? I have many, many recordings of this as an organist myself. The M. Murray listed above is the first that comes to mind for power and slam (great reeds, and the low D pedal entrance has the most oomph of any recording I've heard) though I agree tha... | |
| Should I change my CD player ? I just bought the CX-7E (previously had SCD 777ES) and it has transformed my system - much more enjoyable overall and worth every penny. That said, for your excellent system/speakers I would step it up to the CX-5, if that fits your needs. If you'... | |
| Are silver cables best for my system???? I realize you did not ask about speakers, but I had the same PSB's once and I could never get them to sound anything but cool (some would say neutral), and that was with McIntosh electronics...going the other way with anything but 'warm' component... | |
| Nordost cable evaluation. Interesting analysis Sean - I wanted to post a question I've had for some time in this area that perhaps can't really be answered (I'll beat you to it - so why ask it? Perhaps someone can provide some illumination on this).Anyway, I often wonder i... | |
| Multichannel Preamp I'll answer my own thread here for the sake of posterity since I now have had some experience on the subject. When I wrote this thread I was just getting into MCh operations. I had had a main system with a Sony 777ES, Mac MA6900 integrated amp, an... | |
| Looking for non-boomy full range speakers One very often overlooked speaker for this application is the Aerial Model 6. If you have a decent w/ch amp (at least 100), this is a wonderful all-around speaker. Think about it, how many true 3-way speakers do you know of that have 1-tweeter, 1-... | |
| I'm looking for thoughts on the Tyler Acoustics... If you're talking about the one-piece Linnbrook with two 8-inch woofers, and the tweeter surrounded by the two 7-inch mid ranges on top, as opposed to the two piece monitor-on-top-of bass module (all same drivers but rear ported) I can make some c... | |
| Suggested amp to pair w/ Aerial 7A's on a budget You may say it's too budget for your great speakers (and they are, I had the 6's once), but when I owned the Adcom GFA 5802 some years ago (I had B&W at that point) I took it in to the dealer to see about upgrading to a Krell amp. They set me ... | |
| Mac 6900 vs. Rowland Concerto Int. vs. MF KW 500 I have owned the Concentra I and the Mac 6900 and I strongly favor the Rowland. The review of it in the absolute sound (1999?) was spot on. It is magic. I disagree with the previous poster that it is dry sounding (if we're talking about the same p... | |
| Velodyne dd series 10 or 12 v. Rel Strata III I have actually owned both the DD-10, 12, and REL Storm III. Everything said above is true about the advantages of Velodyne because of their superior technology (& flexibility to the nth degree). That said, a few observations for anyone lookin... |
