| Speakers for a 12 x 13 room I'll toss the Spendor SP 1/2E's into the mix. I used them in a room about the same size as yours and I can tell you that the bass was never boomy. They go down to about 40 Hz. Midrange and treble are very natural on this speaker. The reason I gave... | |
| Are there any albums you consider perfect? Genesis - Selling England By The Pound | |
| Has anyone heard the new Cary 303T? Minor correction to my post: list price is $6500 (according to a blurb from the Sept, 2009 CEDIA show in Atlanta). Whatever Cary's marketing blurb may say, the 306 PRO player is more expensive than the 303T so it can't be considered their "top of ... | |
| Has anyone heard the new Cary 303T? I'm interested to hear comments as well. The 303T is not their "top of the line" - that would be the 306 Pro CD/SACD player. The possible advantage for the 303T is the dual ss and tubed output option (the 306 PRO is only ss). I believe the list pr... | |
| Mozart Piano Concertos A third vote for the Askenazy complete set. Lucid performances in very good sound. | |
| Best Used Speaker Under $4,000 w/ Respectable Lows If you stretch your budget just a bit (~$4500 used) you could get a pair of Vandersteen Quattros. These speakers have internally-adjustable subs (with amps) that will provide full-range low-end. The rest of the speaker is also excellent. One other... | |
| Low volume kind to low frequency? Johnk is correct - the response of the ear is not linear. This physiological phenomenon is known as the Fletcher-Munson effect. The ear is less sensitive to frequency extremes at lower absolute volumes. This is the effect responsible for the "loud... | |
| Cary 306 Pro opinions FWIW, I owned the original Cary 306 player and found it to be a wonderful sounding RBCD and SACD player. I sold it because the original had an issue with the transport and I didn't want to risk mine going bad over time. I am pretty sure that Cary ... | |
| Cary 306 Pro opinions Cerrot - the Cary 306 Pro DOES play SACD's. | |
| Speakers in 10-15K price range for Classical music If you liked the Vandy 5's, you should check out the Vandy Quattros. Right in your price range and it will do acoustic music supremely well. The adjustable low end will allow you to tailor the low end for virtually any room. | |
| Vandersteen Model 2Ce Signature II They are among the very best value in all of audio. They make natural music and are nearly full-range. I have 3A Sigs in a room close to yours and they work fine so I imagine the 2CE's will work just fine. I also power my 3A's with 200 watt hybrid... | |
| Need recommendation for LVB Symphony 9 I second the Vanska on Bis hybrid SACD. I would also add Haitink on LSO Live SACD. | |
| Has anyone bi-amped with a Cary SLP-05? This is puzzling. I use both XLR and RCA outs from my SLP-05 simultaneously but for a different purpose - I use the XLR outs to full range hybrid power amp for my main speakers and the RCA outs to a SS AVR for rear surround speakers. This works fi... | |
| NAD M3 V Vincent 236MKII any experiences?? The Vincent web site worked just fine for me. I bought a pair of their top of the line hybrid monoblocks earlier this year and I think they are fantastic amps. Have never heard the 236MKII so can't comment on it. | |
| Top 5 Rock n Roll Vocalists So many great singers listed so far but I'm surprised that one hasn't been mentioned yet: Brad Delp (Boston). What a voice! Too bad he's no longer with us. |
