| Best CD player now made. I had to jump in, since there are about equal numbers voting for Meridian and Sony.I traded my 506.20 for an SCD-777ES. If I had to pick one (for CD only!) definitely the Meridian, and it ain't a 508.24 or a 588 for that matter. Someone above said... | |
| Best combo - integrated amp/ speakers/$8,000 In a past system I had the Rowland Concentra (original) with a pair of Tyler Acoustics Linnbrook monitors. I think you would have a very hard time beating this system - especially at the price of about 5k (Used) or 6k (new speakers, used amp). BTW... | |
| What speakers to replace Paradigm 100.2? Help The Tyler Acoustics Linnbrooks have that full "bloom" sound, excellent mids and highs due to the high quality drivers, and have impressive bass - the beauty is they are easy to place, even close to the walls, and easy to drive. They don't change a... | |
| Organ CDs with really deep bass Late in the thread, but I wanted to mention that the Atlantic City Convention Hall Organ Society put out a fundraiser CD of the organ - not a blockbuster **BUT** it has a recording of the solo 64' stops! I don't know of any other recording that ha... | |
| Buggtussel Speakers - heard 'em? I heard them at C.E.S. this year - I was impressed on a few counts but also disappointed. After having listened to about 10 or 12 other speakers that day (including Wilsons, JMLab Be's, and others) I was amazed at the "presence" of the piano conce... | |
| Wanted... Advice - Best Speaker for McIntosh Amp I used to own the MC 300 amp with the C-15 preamp. I used it with B&W Matrix 802's, PSB Gold i's, and Aerial Model 6's. The 802's were really awesome with the McIntosh - just because the matrix line is discontinued don't count it out! It sound... | |
| Best speaker 3k to 4k used? Third recommendation for Aerials - for your amp and listening tastes the model 6's would be perfect (yes, I use them too..). I use a 100 w/ch Rowland integrated - the combination is fantastic. I use them even in a decent sized room (21 X 13) and o... | |
| Considering the Rule of Diminishing Returns....... Check out the PSB Silver i's - you can find great deals on the net. The reason I mention them is that a previous poster mentioned the Golds, which I used to own before I bought my Aerials. The Golds are in fact very placement sensitive (very heavy... | |
| Revel vs. Aerial vs. B&W In the event you're near the East coast Mr. Kelly of Aerial is giving a demo of the 20t's in Raleigh, NC at the end of June at Audioadvice. (I just received a mailer; not involved personally...) I wish I had your dilemma! | |
| Am I going insane? I don't normally join in these sorts of discussions when all the good advice has already been given, but I wanted to second P mmk's post about brightness. It may be an assumption of course that the Boston's are brighter in sound than the B&W's... | |
| For organ afficianados For those interested - I just realized I made an error - the review of this CD was not in TAS but in The Audiophile Voice. Sorry for the mix up. | |
| For organ afficianados Tom, I'm jealous! The booklet actually talks about your Aunt a bit. One of my dreams is to some day sit there and play "Come, Sweet Death" a la Virgil Fox in his famous 1939 performance. There is a later recording of it (BTW, that is also availabl... | |
| Speaker Recs for McIntosh and Jupiter Combo? If you're looking for something perhaps temporary, or maybe even long term, when I was buying my McIntosh equipment the dealer hooked up a pair of PSB Stratus Bronze's, the cheapest of the Stratus series, apologizing that that was the best he had ... | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music Verdi's Requiem - the whole thing. | |
| Aerial 6's lighter in the low end than the 7b's... I own the 6's and find them very satisfactory in the bass area; my radio shack SPL meter gives me flat response with the 6's down to about 35 Hz (aside from room interaction - see below). As always with bass, it really depends on your room. Look a... |
