| 80s Levinson Gear - Best Repair/Refurbish? Thanks! Is there anything to be said for the Levinson authorized repair centers? Or does it not matter with gear of this vintage? | |
| Go Active Crossover or Upgrade existing XOs? I will echo the sentiments of others who have use active crossovers to biamp Magnepan speakers. Up until their X.7 models, they were built to actively biamp by providing an external passive crossover box that could be bypassed.I did this with my ... | |
| Any tweaks I'm missing? "I like the reasonable replies from the reasonable people."I’m not jumping into the snake oil discussion today. But the above statement = "I only want to hear from people who already agree with me."THAT, my friends, is what is killing the world to... | |
| Will my Krell drive a 2 ohm load? Update: been playing at low volumes for many hours now. Classe is still not hot (cooler than the Krell, actually) and my ears are adjusting to the slightly stronger bass. This needs to be better integrated and dialed in. There's work to do. Bu... | |
| Will my Krell drive a 2 ohm load? I did hook it up. Well, actually, I swapped out the bass and mid/treble in the biamping setup first, so that my Classe CA-200 was on the bass and the Krell KAV 250a was on mid/treble duty. The Classe is rated down to 2 ohms although it doesn't do... | |
| Will my Krell drive a 2 ohm load? Yes I’m interested in seeing what improvements might occur with the bass panels from the 20 series technology supplementing my 3 series Magnepans. I am not presently starved for bass. I love the sound of the bi-amped maggies and REL subs. But I am... | |
| Will my Krell drive a 2 ohm load? Thanks to all for the input. I'm looking for a second one to drive the DWMs. | |
| Will my Krell drive a 2 ohm load? thanks for your opinions! I have 2 REL subs in this system already. The DWMs are supposed to augment higher frequencies than the subs. | |
| Magnepan DWM bass panels in parallel from Krell KAV250a Thanks, I plan to do that. Has anyone had direct or analogous experience with the DWM panels? | |
| Favorite cover? Foo Fighters - Baker Street | |
| Best used turntable(s) around $1500.00 for playing metal and rock Choice of cartridge is probably more relevant than TT for genre. I'd recommend an Ortofon 2M Black with shibata stylus. Very detailed and good for math metal, but also shibata is a very fine tip that gets deeper into unplayed parts of the groove. | |
| AMP or Preamp Anyone critical of the current mismatch between speakers and amps forgets that standard audiophile advice is to max out on quality of speakers first and then work on what’s up the chain. OP did this and is asking the next step. Bravo!I would sugge... | |
| The term "High End" needs to die. Long live Hi-Fidelity! But changing the word won’t eliminate the snobs! | |
| Sound quality vs. volume Peachtree is nice gear but IMHO not meant for your primary listening system if that is where you go to rock out. Peachtree is good for near field or a pretty sound at moderate volumes in a social setting. I think you will benefit from a true high ... | |
| Do any of your Rolling Stones recordings bring "Satisfaction"? Japanese remasters on CD circa 2009. Nice balance of mild compression for punch with clarity and dynamic range. |
