| Creek vs. Parasound Another suggestion:Used Musical Fidelity A3.5. Not super fond of this Creek. haven't heard the Parasound combo, but like their Halo gear. If you could swing the Halo P3 Premap and a used Odyssey Stratos stereo amp and run it in balanced mode, that... | |

| Wilson Audio's New Sound? Camali,Just curious - what speakers in combination with what amps have provided you with the most convincing reproduction of classical music? I sense the subject of a new thread... | |
| Why power cable effect overall syste sound? I have one of Samuel's cords and some of my own design. They all sound better to my ears than stock cords. Bummed to find out after careful AB tests that Samuel's more expensive cords sound even better with my gear than his company's less expensiv... | |
| Cambridge Audio 840C Perhaps Newbrook is thinking of Sam Telig's quasi review of the new Cambridge 650C? He actually was complementary of it given the asking price. I do not recall any reviews of the 840C in Stereophile. Sam Telig mentions it in his review of the Camb... | |
| Wilson Audio's New Sound? Stringreen,I am not insulted by your comments, but I do happen to disagree with you.Sometimes live acoustics sound like crap to me, to point where I am distracted from enjoying the content of the performance. In many cases because of the control p... | |
| Wilson Audio's New Sound? Mixn4him,"New" is a relative term. New to me. Newer than the last time I demoed Wilson's. New to Art Dudley and even "new" as in the tuning process the company applies as described by Dave Wilson in his interview with Mr. Dudley.Maybe the "newer" ... | |
| Wilson Audio's New Sound? Gee, I heard the Watt Puppies previously with VTL and Nagra gear in various venues and have to say it'a not'a make'a me'a happy. I heard the Alexandria's in home theater systems with VTL and Classe gear, same thing (although very impressive dynami... | |
| Wilsons sound OK and other revelations from Sea. Ron,Thanks for fact checking my post. I was processing as fast as I could that night and perhaps I should have taken some notes. But that would have distracted a bit from my overall enjoyment of the evening. The combination of Lyra, SME, AR, Wilso... | |
| Looking for a new SS integrated amp for B&W 805S In addition to Naim (love the Nait XS) and Arye, I would look at Plinius or a used Classe. I actually think the 805 is not very forgiving, and will report absolutely everything it is sent - both good and bad. Something like a PrimaLuna Dialogue 2 ... | |
| New amp Have you considered Bel Canto mono blocks? | |
| Best new or used speakers for under 3K? For a room that size, I would think a small floor stander or a larger stand mount speaker would suffice. Under 3K and with the power you are going to have on hand, I suggest:small towersEPOS M16iTotem HawkQuad 21L2 or 22L2Devore Gibbon 8Focal Chor... | |
| Wilsons sound OK and other revelations from Sea. Agree with Jazdoc, the Lee Morgan 45 played through the Arye/Vandersteen set up did sound fantastic. I could live with that for a very long time. | |
| Upgrade from Quad 11L? Your description of Naim's 5 series gear is dead on from my experience. Glad to hear you are enjoying music again! | |
| Best speakers for about $2000 a pair I was going to say the Vandersteen One's since your limit is 2K, but if you can go a little over and you have the space for the 2ce Signature II, go for it.For box speakers, how about the Totem Sttaf? These speakers are the least "hot" sounding of... |
