| Running 4 speakers from a 2-channel amp Thank you all for the facts n ideas. It sure cut out a lot of time for me. I'm still thinking about my next move. | |
| Upgrade from Quad 11L? What did you finally wind-up doing?I listened at a shop to the 11L and 12L today and much preferred the 11L. I compared using Ah! Njoe Tjoeb and also Mark Levison CD players, and tried Luxman and Marantz integrateds, and a Mark Levison pre with Ma... | |
| Prima Luna Dialogue 2 or Cayin A100? Good for you, Dramapsycho - It makes me deeply regret having sold my Prima Luna, which I had such a great deal on. The chance of finding one in that condition at that price again in Japan is probably about nill. As some sort of compensation from t... | |
| Running 4 speakers from a 2-channel amp Hifitime - Yes, in parallel that looks bad. I suppose that amps with an A+B selector option have a different wiring than parallel. I do not notice any change in volume in set A or B when I switch from A or B to A+B, so I suppose there is some degr... | |
| Prima Luna Dialogue 2 or Cayin A100? Saki70 - I also wonder whether there might have been something wrong with the Prima Luna unit I had, such as a faulty component. If so, perhaps Dramapsycho's unit has a similar problem. My Prima Luna looked so nice, was in minty-new condition, and... | |
| Prima Luna Dialogue 2 or Cayin A100? Sorry, I just noticed you got the Dialogue, whereas I had the Prologue. I am surprised, as I had imagined the Dialogue should be steps up above the Prologue, yet from your post maybe not. My speakers sets are Yamaha NS-1000X, modified B&W 805N... | |
| Prima Luna Dialogue 2 or Cayin A100? I had a Prima Luna Prologue Two for one month and then returned it. I loved how it looked and the build quality, but found the high-end harsh, the mids muddled, and everything overly "colored," while my wife disliked the sound even more than me, a... | |
| b&w n vs d money better spent on amp? I replaced the plastic phase plugs in my 805Ns with solid copper ones, which brightened the sound and evened the amplitudes over the dynamic range. With the Cu plugs I find the 805N to be superior to the newer 805S, which I compared intensely back... | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE I still have my Rogers LS2a bought in 1988, but they were in a box packed away from 1995 until about two months ago. I dug them out to pass on to a British friend who has a Naim Nait and can really appreciate the "little beasties," but so far I st... | |
| Luxman L505u . . . why not? Chashas1 Thanks for that thread. I am aware that my NS1000x's are monitors. They (or the 1000M, described by Bwcanuck in your post, the little sister of the 1000x, with lesser bass, lighter box, etc.) were at one time government broadcast studio s... | |
| Luxman L505u . . . why not? Chashas1 I can't find this thread for the life of me, although I can't ever find my socks or the pencil that I'm holding, either. Could you please give me some more details as to where to find it?"There's a thread under Speakers now that might int... | |
| Luxman L505u . . . why not? I doubt you will be disappointed. Please post a detailed report after your Luxman arrives! | |
| Luxman L505u . . . why not? I just read some reports. Those are certainly interesting-looking speakers. Doubtful that I'll see them over here soon. Were you able to somehow listen to the Luxman you ordered with your speakers before you ordered it?As a happy owner of simple b... | |
| Personal speaker evolution Rogers LS2a 1988, Yamaha NS1000x 2004, B&W 805N 2009 all still in use at home. | |
| Luxman L505u . . . why not? Brianmgrarcom Would you mind letting me know a bit about your set-up and how you came to choose your Luxman? |
