| Amp recommendations Given that the 13As have built it power amplifier for the woofers your amp will only be required to drive the panels. With that in mind, even with the low impedance at ~20K Hz, I can't see why a 4 ohm capable 200 wpc amplifier, especially a Mac, c... | |
| Microzotl 2.0 as preamp question lancebook, out of curiosity, have you by any chance compared the LTA preamp with any of the older CJ preamps? | |
| Amp recommendations donvito101, I missed the bit about OP's question about only integrated amps but my brother had his ML Sequel II paired with the Pass Labs XA60.5 monos for a few years and we both agreed the overall sound quality was greatly improved when he traded... | |
| mc2k amps There are a handful of power amplifiers out there with the ability to deliver outrageous amounts of power - both current and voltage, and I suspect there are certain conditions which require such excess. Boulder 3050 is another piece that could pr... | |
| Lesser known 2 way bookshelf Speakers from the 80's Still have my JBL L40 (circa 1977) and my ADS L520 (circa 1981) and use them frequently. Both still sound excellent especially when driven by good gear which of course I could not afford when I bought the speakers originally. In fact I used my Pio... | |
| mc2k amps Yes - overkill | |
| Amp recommendations I've also had a ML/McIntosh combo for several years, both much older models, and I agree with the synergy. I have tried a handful of different amps with these speakers and none sounded as good as the Mac combo. I'm not saying you should just buy t... | |
| I need a new DAC! Advice/Recommendations? I looked into the Codex when I was looking for a DAC but the absence of a coax RCA input was a deal breaker for me. Great if you're a USB user. | |
| Small but high quality integrated schubert, its refreshing to see the spirit of generosity is (still) alive in our beloved country. What goes around comes around and I hope you receive in ten fold of what you give. | |
| Need advice about upgrading speakers ( it might be the last one i own). jrosemd, don't be so quick to judge. First of all, if you know a reputable place selling brand new ML Montis pair for $4K, let me know. Secondly, as someone who just sold a pair of MMGs, with all the possible tweaks, I can tell you my almost 20 ye... | |
| If bi-amping is so great, why do some high end speakers not support it? Sorry I caused some confusion by writing bi-wire where I meant (vertical) bi-amping. I asked a more specific question in a Vandersteen thread I had already started. | |
| mcintosh mc602 Rehashing this discussion again is generally pointless since the arguments on both sides have been made ad nauseam. Either way, the bottom line is component matching and not how a single component is designed in the audio chain.g_nakamoto, do your... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD TD, I listened to JB at Carnegie recording thru Tidal last night and the SQ is very good, actually excellent. | |
| Vandersteen 2Ci - Bi-wire cable question I'm sorry I mistakenly wrote "bi-wiring" instead of "bi-amping". I have already "bi-wired" the speakers using a single stereo amp which has two pairs of speaker outputs. I was questioning the vertical "bi-amp" diagram in the manual which goes like... | |
| Vandersteen 2Ci - Bi-wire cable question I posted a comment about general bi-wiring in a different thread but would like to ask a more specific question about the 2Ci and the directions in the manual. The manual recommends using two identical amps for vertical bi-wiring which makes sense... |
