| Anything as " fast" as SPECTRAL gear? I read through most of the posts - filtered the rants, and am still struggling to understand how does a high "speed" amplifier "sound" as compared to a slow one. I completely get the notion of "speed" as it relates to speakers and bass performance... | |
| Bryston vs MBL Those are both great amplifiers but out of curiosity, why only these two brands? Pass X250.8 seems to be a favorite around here and should fit the bill. | |
| Standmount speakers 4k-8k Don’t take this the wrong way but I don’t think setting a $4K to $8K price range is realistic. It’s like saying I’m looking to buy a four-door car, something between a Toyota Carrolla and a BMW 3-series. And then go and test drive full optioned B... | |
| Power Amp with digital input? I'm not familiar with the SONOS CONNECT but I have had my Bluesound Node 2 directly connected to my (analog) amplifier and it worked beautifully. Node 2 makes it possible since it allows you to control the volume, tone, and even has a subwoofer ou... | |
| Jumper Cables - use the stock or should they be upgraded ? Actually, the question was not about the benefits of bi-wiring, it was about benefits of replacing the jumpers. | |
| upgrade advice It sounds like a reasonable upgrade path is use the Node 2 as a wireless streaming transport and feed a better DAC using its optical/coax outputs. I suppose the same DAC could be used to upgrade a CD player sound as well. Makes it a little easier ... | |
| upgrade advice I'm following this thread with great interest since I'm on a similar upgrade path except I'm using the Bluesound's internal DAC and streaming HiFi Tidal wirelessly. The funny thing is when I asked a while back, most folks seemed to think the Blues... | |
| Bi-Amp v. Uneven Speaker Cable Runs (Pass Labs B&W 802D) Any particular reason not use this Belden wire - seems like a much better option. What's up with the pricings on their site?.http://www.awcwire.com/mfg/belden/part/1312a | |
| Downsizing erik, any thoughts on this DIY kit? It has little larger cabinets than the LM-1 you suggested, and may sound "fuller". http://www.parts-express.com/dayton-audio-rs722cck-speaker-kit-curved-cherry--302-973 | |
| Launch of Zu Audio Experiences loudspeakers How much $ are we talking about? | |
| Speakers choices for AR REF-5/75s I have a pair of older Martin Logan Aerius i speakers driven by a yet older McIntosh MC2200 amplifier. Certainly not quite as refined as the ARs but I feel the speakers suck every ounce of (200wpc) power from the amp with the volume at moderately ... | |
| Speakers choices for AR REF-5/75s What sort of music do you normally listen to and how loud? I probably don't have as wide of a hands-on ownership experience as some of the old timers here but all things equal when it comes to speakers in particular, I'm convinced that certain spe... | |
| 4 ohms , 6 ohms, or 8 ohms??? I don't know if this applies to all amplifiers or not but my speakers - Martin Logan Aerious i, sound noticeably different depending on which taps I use - 1, 2, 4, or 8, on my McIntosh MC2200 amp. I attributed this to the speaker cable length I'm... | |
| Monitor Audio If you’re willing to consider used, I’d suggest Totem Rainmakers in that relative price range. How about Definitive Technology Studio Monitor 65? I really liked their sound as compared to many other comparably priced (and sized) monitors. | |
| Bi-Amp v. Uneven Speaker Cable Runs (Pass Labs B&W 802D) I anticipated the same exact logistical challenge as our house was being built and used 12 gauge wire certified for in-wall use, ran it through the basement and up to wall plugs near the speaker locations. Put similar wall plugs near the expected ... |
