| Speakers to pair with Arcam A65 plus under $600? I own the JM Lab Chorus 707, Kef Q1, and the PSB Alpha's. All of these loudspeakers are very good for the money. All of these loudspeakers need a long break-in and then they will greatly improve. I suggest you give the JM Lab Chorus 707 a listen. ... | |
| artists who most deeply touch you I love to listen to folk singer, Kate Wolf. A complete artist who sang pure sweet music from the heart. Unfortunately she passed away at an early age as has so many others. Happy holidays and best wishes to all. Bill | |
| Sim Audio I-5 vs. new I-3---sonic differences? I believe you are right in your thinking. I spoke with a dealer regarding this. His opinion was that the the i-5 wassuperior sonically. Another possibility you might want to consider are the Manley EL 84 based mono blocs (50w per ch)One of these t... | |
| Advice on replacing Vandersteen 2's Spendor Sp 1/2. I don't know how much "smaller and decorfriendly" it is, but a music lover's speaker. If you'relooking for a slimmer and more esthetically pleasing speakerperhaps a Vienna Acoustics "Mozart." I don't think going from a 2 to a 1c ma... | |
| Getting married, and I need to redo system.. ?'s.. Charles, the room in the basement idea sounds brilliant! Your own little retreat(hopefully well isolated from the rest of the house)to enjoy. The Kef Q1's in that environmentwould be perfect! ( A wonderful speaker for the $ ) Wish youand yours the... | |
| big sound at a down to earth price? The older Snell D's and C's were great loudspeakers. Beautifully made with nice wood finishes. | |
| smallest highend manuf.of intergrated amp Jolida 1301. McCormack made the "Micro Drive" a few years back that, I believe, had 5w of power. (Headphone amp) Original Naim nait. | |
| Confused addict: need help with upgrade I would experiment with your interconnects/speaker wire.I'm not familiar with Classe equipment so I can't say whether it would suit your speakers and listening preferences. Also, other sources of music, (tuner and turntable) would be good comparin... | |
| Loudspeakers that match well w/Bryston B-60? Thank-you once again for all your sound advise. I've reached the point where I'm focusing in the direction I'llbe heading. As far as speakers, the choices are Spendor 2/3,1/2e, Theil .5(Up for auction at the moment), Vienna Acoustics Bach. I belie... | |
| Anyone familiar with the Naim Nait-5 In my experience the Nait-5 is a very well built int. amp. The(system)remote is also useful. If I remember correctly,balance could only be adjusted from remote. Also individualinput sensitivity could be adjusted from remote. There is no headphone ... | |
| Creek 5350SE Ubar Replacement?? Matty, I have a Bryston B-60R and I tried using a 1m interconnect (VDH d-102) to replace the stock factory "Ubar" and I preferred the sound w/the factoryjumpers. However, everything is so system/listener dependent. | |
| Realistically, will the Spendor S 3/5 work for me? My feeling is that those speakers will work for you. Marginally, as perviously noted by Seandtaylor99. Those loudspeakers are very insensitive. They have very fine mid-band presentation. The top end is slightly soft. Since you're using a subwoofer... | |
| Integrated amp to match with jmlab cobalt 807 I personally (for my tastes) would consider a warm/mellow int. amp with thatloudspeaker. Consider Audio Analogue "Puccini" ,Jolida JD1301,1501,102/202, Unison Research to name a few. Try to audition in your listening room with your equipment if po... | |
| Non fatigueing speaker under 1500 I too am on a similiar quest. One possibility is Spendor loudspeakers. I'm familiar with the S 3/5 and if the largermodels are voiced similiar but with greater bass that mightbe the ticket! Another possibility might be Vienna Acoustics "Bach." I h... | |
| Loudspeakers that match well w/Bryston B-60? Thank-you for all your responses. I was hoping to spend in the +/- $1500 for speakers and upgrade my speaker cables.The other components of my modest system I'm pleased with.(Creek Tuner, Cal Icon Mk2, MMF-5 tt, VDH interconnects.)I was planning o... |
