| Paradigm Studio v2 VS. Vandersteen 2Ce Signature ? Unfortunately the dealer here in the Pittsburgh area that is listed on Vandersteen's site has been out of business for a while now. I should probably inform Vandersteen so that the listing can be taken off of their retailer list. The closest deale... | |
| Paradigm Studio v2 VS. Vandersteen 2Ce Signature ? Unfortunately, my listening room is small too (my bedroom), so this has been on my mind and may be a major drawback of these speakers. The Studio v3's sound fantastic, but I'm just wondering what the main differences are between the v2's and v3's.... | |
| Need Help With a Bright System Good suggestion. I'm really enjoying these Studio 60s. I may try and find a set used instead of doing research and buying another pair without hearing them first. I imagine I can pick up a pair of Studio 60 v3's for about $900 here on AudioGon. I ... | |
| SS Amp for Triangle Speakers I own a pair of Triangle Antal XS, and will have to disagree with the suggestion that NAD amplifiers will do well with these speakers. I'm using a pair of C 272 mono blocks, and they sound extremely bright and harsh with the Antals. In my opinion,... | |
| Need Help With a Bright System Well I had a chance to bring the Antals back home and hooked them up to my dad's system (PrimaLuna Prologue 2 + Marantz SA-11S1). I have to say that the transparency and imaging was pretty remarkable, producing a very accurate sound image that had... | |
| Need Help With a Bright System I think what some of you may be forgetting is that the NAD amplifiers I'm using right now are not mine; I've made no financial obligation towards these amps or CD player, they're just something for me to use while I save up for my own components. ... | |
| Need Help With a Bright System Piezo: Yes, buying new speakers is pretty much out of the question right now. I spent a long time researching and coming up with the decision to buy these speakers, and to be honest I like how clear they sound; I'd rather match other equipment to ... | |
| Need Help With a Bright System Wow! So many recommendation, I'm not sure which ones to try first. I know that Best Buy sells some of the Monster power conditioners, so I may be able to try one from there. If it does make a difference and I decide not too overpay, I'll take it b... | |
| Need Help With a Bright System “Did you have previously everything except the Antals and sound was OK, i.e. better highs reproduction?”Well, I was originally using an NAD C 340 integrated which I accidentally burned out. The NAD C 272’s that I’m using are my dad’s; I’m borrowin... | |
| Need Help With a Bright System Thanks everyone for the info. The room is actually filled with furnishings because it is my bedroom. At first I suspected that it was the room, but after a while I realized that it was more the fault of the speakers being bright. I bought these sp... | |
| A worse feeling than burning out your amp? Yioryos, yes it is a good excuse to upgrade my amp. The thing is, I was going to upgrade my DAC which was a bit more necessary, but now I have no choice but to buy another amp (I'm using a Kenwood receiver right now). | |
| A worse feeling than burning out your amp? Well I took the amp apart and noticed an area of smoke build up on the top of the cover right above a big capacitor (there are 2 of these in the amp, I'm assuming one is for each channel). I don't know much about electronics so I don't know if it ... | |
| A worse feeling than burning out your amp? What does it mean to "blow a channel?" Does this mean a blown capacitor, resistor, or the entire electrical path? | |
| A worse feeling than burning out your amp? Yes well it's good to know that I'm not the only that has made such a foolish mistake. I never thought that pulling a cable out like that could fry something. I do think that it's the preamp that is toasted, so I'm going to open it up and look for... | |
| Music from hard drive better than CD? Perhaps you missed the paragraph from my last post, so I will paraphrase:You mentioned Dell, which you implied has higher quality standards than the chop-shop manufacturers. From Dell.com you can get an entry-level Inspiron 1200 laptop for $549. ... |
