| Need help for my HT,looking to upgrade my speakers Tls49, I pretty much concur with everything in your post. I do believe the current CM1 is a different animal than the older model, with more recent trickle down from the 800 series. I really like the CM1, 5 and 7. I have not had a serious listen t... | |
| Need help for my HT,looking to upgrade my speakers Tesseract86,How do I put this. Previous generations of BW 800 series speakers are somewhat surgical tools and will ruthlessly expose even minor system weaknesses. 125 AVR watts do not equal 125 mid to hi fi stereo amplifier watts. At least the old... | |
| Need help for my HT,looking to upgrade my speakers Yeah, well one theory had you buy speakers first and then work on matching rest of gear to the speakers. I am just dubious that the marantz will drive the 805's to their (and your) happy place. The cm1's may even be too much speaker for anything b... | |
| Need help for my HT,looking to upgrade my speakers Agreed, at least within family. Depending on budget for that room, used 704 or 703, cm7 or cm9, or maybe 683 (are noticeably better than 60X series). I DO NOT recommend 80X models with AV Receiver. | |
| Tube or SS integrated for PSB Imagine Ts Not talking about Krell fbi here. Nad m3 is adequate. Nad c375bee is probably adequate too (similar to m3 but less of everything except power). I would not recommend smaller solid state amps. Like I said arc vsi60 sounded good with imagine T. That... | |
| Tube or SS integrated for PSB Imagine Ts ARC VSi60 is a very nice match with the T's. I heard them with an all Integra AV system and was completely unimpressed. Solid state or tubes, they deserve high quality amplification. | |
| Which speakers? Jim, it would be helpful to know if you are looking for stand mount or floor standing speakers.In any case, I suggest you focus on speakers that will thrill you in the middle, I.E. speakers with good tone, timbre and a lifelike midrange. Musical-n... | |
| Dynaudio Focus 220 vs 110 or 140's I really like the 140 as well. One thought is how close your speakers will need to be to the rear wall - Dyns like some space. A similar speaker but voiced slightly differently is the Totem model 1. The Totems are slightly more forgiving of modest... | |
| good rca y-adapter that is really helpful, thanks. | |
| good rca y-adapter thanks. the sub i need to use in this application does not have high level inputs. two rca sub cables problematic but not impossible. probably should just bite bullet and buy and install another sub cable. | |
| good rca y-adapter thanks for the input, helpful.i am thinking i have a design flaw. i wanted to combine the left and right preamp outputs for the sub downstream of the splitters, in order to only have to run one cable to the sub. But am wondering what that will do ... | |
| Replacing Thiel 2.2's, Need Monitor Suggestions Heyitsmedusty,Nice choice. Theils have there strengths, but so do the CM1's. Your amp has a fair amount of power to drive the CM1's, so I would let the new speakers break in for a while, get them on stands (the B&W stands would be logical matc... | |

| Avalon Acoustics vs Wilson Audio I am sorry, I was refering to the new B&W 802 Diamond above, not the previous 802D model.I do not own or live with the Wilson's but the recent crop of their "entry level" speakers, at least as I heard set up by Peter McGrath, did not sound fat... |
