| Whis is better B&W CDM 9NT or Signature 805? I'll bite and say the sig 805's, and for several reasons. First, the CDM9NT's do not go much lower than the 805's. Second, the 805 sigs. sound better. Third, they will be easier to place in the room. Fourth, they are easier to drive. Fifth, the CD... | |
| changing from monitors to florrstanding speakers ppel,I'd give you the advice that replacing your current setup with some of the towers you mentioned will get you better sound. However, I think that you will loose a lot of the low bass you have now with the REL. I do not know about you but the f... | |
| Calix speakers - anyone heard them? http://www.stereophile.com/showarchives.cgi?861The address above is an okay review. Mr. Bolin finds a few things wrong and it is not very sensitive (85dB), but he also seems to like them. It does not look very good with all of the comb filtering, ... | |
| The ongoing Question "The best of" Europe only A Disney for hi-fi. Wow, I just saw it . . . a main road called "Music Way" lined with small specialty boutiques selling a wide range of items like music, accessories, etc.. Then the different parks that focus on the different components. Inside t... | |
| Krell FPB 300cx enough to drive B&W Nautilus 801? The extra 100 watts derived from the 400cx is equivalent and on the order of only.5dB or about 5 amps. I doubt that you will ever tax the 300cx to anywhere near its limits unless you room is tremendously large or you wish to become deaf in the nex... | |
| Differences in CD players? Am I crazy? I have found that the differences between digital devices is in general much less than between such things as speakers or amplifiers. YMMV. | |
| Audio nirvana ends with planar/electrostats? I went from B&W 803's to Maggie MMG's to 1.6's and then to infinity 4.1t's. Could not be happier. So no. | |
| Power amp choice Why not try and find a Proceed HPA-2 and a HPA-3. They are very nice, clean, and bombproof amps and most likely at your price used. | |
| DYI Speakers. How good can they be? The first thing your need to learn is how to design and implement digital crossovers and parametric EQ's. Soon designers are going to do transducer engineering from the standpoint that minimum distortion and maximum extension, over today's need fo... | |
| Grain free, how to identify it http://www.stereophile.com/showarchives.cgi?50:0 By J. Gordon Holt formerly of Stereophile created this. Above is the link below is a passage from it. We all need to be on the same page here for anything to happen.grainy: A moderate texturing of r... | |
| My M20s were humbled My understanding is that with all speakers there is a tradeoff between sensitivity, size, and bass extension. To adjust any one of them is to change the others. I'd be interested to see if a small box can really do 39 Hz at +-1.5dB and maintain 87... | |
| I've got a basic, directional decision to make. I think the difference between hi-end CD players and mass market ones is less significant than between hi-end amps and mass market receivers. I'd worry about the amps first, but I'd also not sink much money yet as you'll be wanting to replace it i... | |
| New system too bright.Will different cables help ? Is it with all music or just some? | |
| Rotel RA1070 vs Krell300il/Krell 400ui Intgr amps I'm not sure Krell is the best answer. Their integraded amps, especially, the 300i series is a little mellow to begin with, a little rolled-off up top. It has a nice sence of flow and presents music as a piece, but if you are looking for agressive... |
