| Upgrade from Classe CA-151 for AAD 2001s Gbart:Thanks for your response, I have heard that the CP 35 is a weak link, and am open to making that upgrade. I would love to go to a CP 65 if the budget allowed.What about possibly a Rogue Audio pre?Joe | |
| Monitor; selling your best monitor. I've gone through a good amount of monitors, and I don't have one that I regret selling, but rather, one I would never sell - the AAD 2001s. The 2001s are gorgeous, have prodigious extension on both ends, and will keep getting better the more qual... | |
| Mega-Speakers from Linn Audio.... Here are a few things I see wrong with this. 1) They are selling a $150 Dayton ADA-150 for $1,950 with the dubious claim of "upgraded" parts. 2) They are selling a Behringer A500 which is normally $200 for $3,500 again with the claim that they "as... | |

| DK VS 1 MKII vs. Classe CAP-151 Well I went for the Classe, and hope to have it by the end of the week. I'm looking forward to hearing what the extra wattage can get out of the AADs. I am also looking forward to having full remote operation after 2 years of only volume control o... | |
| Amp for AAD 2001s 86 dB ; Do I need more power? Thanks for all of your thoughts. It seems pretty clear that I would be much better off with an amplifier upgrade at some point in the future. This brings up two more questions regarding the amplifier questions. 1) How serious is the risk of clippi... | |
| Vienna Acoustic Hayden grand or Polk audio lsi9 Hi Pete, I've auditions both of these speakers at different times. I prefer the Haydns by a wide margin. The bass on both speakers is good for a monitor; however, the bass on the Haydns has less boom and is more controlled. The polk's tweeter (vif... | |
| Subs: DIY Kit vs. Martin Logan I've had the Grotto i in my system with Soliloquy 5.0 speakers and a Bryston B60r for about 4 months now, and am extremely happy with it for the price(used). It integrates very well with my speakers, and easily keeps up with them in terms of speed... | |
| High End Monitors I have mentioned how much I like the Monitor Audio PL100s several times in other threads. I would highly recommend them. Especially if you can find them used. Just my $.02jml | |
| Martin Logan subwoofer - Dynamo or Grotto? Thanks for the reply! Great to hear from someone who has owned both models. I wish that the Dynamo's controls didn't end up under the sub when it's in front firing mode. I live in an apartment now, so I would like to have easy access to turn the s... | |
| What's a better tweak/upgrade? USB DAC or ERT Thanks for the responses.That is a bummer about the USB only being for printing. The vast majority of the time my Macbook is tied down to my external monitor in my home office, so it looks like my best option is to use the aforementioned mini to t... | |
| What's a better tweak/upgrade? USB DAC or ERT Does anyone know if I can connect to a USB DAC via the USB port on the Airport express, or is the only wireless option to use a mini-toslink adapter and connect to the DAC via Toslink. Thanks, JML | |
| Another Speaker Selection Thread... Have you listened to the AADs with any SS amps? or on the contrary listened to the V4s with any other speakers? It might be a worth while comparison just to see which component is contributing more to the areas that you're dissatisfied with. Or th... | |
| Another Speaker Selection Thread... OK, Here's one suggestion for ya. Monitor Audio PL100http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?spkrmoni&1223405528I recently heard these with the Mac MC402 and Mac CD Player. I listened to a few tracks that were mostly acoustic, and was very impr... | |
| Another Speaker Selection Thread... Hi Brian:Have you always felt that the AAD 2001s were a fairly dark speaker, or is this something that developed after the new pre-amp? My most recent experience with this speaker was in a very large room about 30' x 40' with about 15' ceilings. T... |
