| Amplifier ideas with KEF Reference 1 Thanks for the naim suggestion caphill and audio doctor. Would you advise this setup over a supernait integrated? | |
| Bel Canto ACI600 vs Black EX Sepates Decisions, decisions, decisions..... | |
| Bel Canto ACI600 vs Black EX Sepates And here's what I heard back.....Ken,These are not easy questions. I would say that the ACI600 is a richer sound while the EX separates are perhaps a bit tighter and more dynamic. There is also a liquid quality to the ACI600 that EX might not quit... | |
| Bel Canto ACI600 vs Black EX Sepates Here's the question I asked Bel Canto directly.....I’ve been busy saving for my new office system and it’s between the ACI600, Black EX Amplifier+DAC, or the Black EX Integrated. My local dealer only carries the REF600’s and hasn’t heard what I’m ... | |
| PS Audio BHK preamp and amp rundown I had an all PS Audio set up as of last week....BHK 300 monoblocks, BHK Signature Preamp, and Directstream DAC. I purchased the system for my office in October 2017.... unbelievable sounds without the mentioned tube upgrade. I was driving KEF LS50... | |
| Amplifier ideas with KEF Reference 1 @caphill: thanks for the detailed thoughts. My PS Audio Directstream and BHK Signature preamp are sold...BHK monoblocks still up for sale so I'm really thinking integrated or matching pre/dac + power (like bel canto ex).I also fear purchasing from... | |
| Amplifier ideas with KEF Reference 1 Thanks for everyone's input. I just started a new thread specifically on the aci600 vs Black EX separates..... Hoping to learn more. I'll report back once the system is in place! | |
| Amplifier ideas with KEF Reference 1 I'm thinking it's between the Bel Canto ex black separates or the Bel Canto Black ACI6000 integrated. I don't want to worry about heat in my office again, and my wife approves of the looks (if they migrate home).Similarly priced.... Can't seem to ... | |
| Amplifier ideas with KEF Reference 1 Thanks for the insight and ideas yyzsb. I'm with you, it's just money..... And considering that I spend more time at the office than home, my office setup should be killer.I'm thinking whatever I choose needs to have the wife acceptance factor in ... | |
| Amplifier ideas with KEF Reference 1 @d2girs: I haven't heard the KEF Ref 1's but (1) I have enjoyed my KEF LS50's, (2) they're pretty well reviewed, and (3) I can get a killer price on a new pair. What are you thinking in that price range for bookshelf speakers? I don't want to spen... | |
| Amplifier ideas with KEF Reference 1 Follow up question Everest. You mention needing a really good XLR cable for the Black EX separates. Would a WireWorld Gold Eclipse 7 (XLR) suffice?Thanks!Ken | |
| Amplifier ideas with KEF Reference 1 Thanks Everest. What speakers have you found pair best with the Black EX integrated? | |
| Speaker recomendation There are some really sensitive souls on here. Personally, I appreciate hearing all feedback/opinions. Good or bad, dealer or consumer. We all process sound differently so one person's prized audio component/speaker is another person's trash.I hav... | |
| Your thoughts about ATC loudspeakers Thanks for the responses - I've been wanting to try Harbeths for awhile now and your responses definitely help get me to pull the trigger. I believe the BHK's would be a nice match...they have a tube input stage which warms them up nicely.Now to f... | |
| Your thoughts about ATC loudspeakers I'm interested in the SCM19V2's for my office setup. Currently KEF LS50's with PS Audio BHK 300 monos, BHK preamplifier, and Directstream DAC. Overall, I'm happy with the sound but the KEF's are my system's weak spot. I'm looking for more speaker ... |
