| SS amp - which one ??? Check out the butler hybrid amp. I use 1 and it runs cool all day. Mine is paired with a Modwright tube pre. They show up used in your price range.Steel | |
| Amp for Gallo Ref 3.1 and Modwright swl 9.0se? I run a Butler TBD2250 tube/SS hybrid. Runs cool all day and plenty of power. See this review of the Butler used with the Gallos. http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/butler/2250_3.htmlSteel | |
| Benchmark DAC1 Pre - anybody heard a mod? Hi Beat,I too own the Benchmark (DAC1), I was planning to use it as a preamp to my tube/SS hybrid Butler amp, but have been waiting years for BM to make a remote control. They now have one in the new $1900 model, which seems very nice. But a new c... | |
| speakers that rock Check out the Gallo Reference 3.1's. They do rock very well. | |
| Pick 2... Ohm WMT,ML Source,Zu Druid,Gallo Ref 3.1 I will up you one on the room, mine is 9.5 x 9.5 and I use the Gallos. I prefer near-field listening in general regardless of room size as it eliminates some room interaction. Our rooms are a challenge bass wise. The sub amp on the Gallo may help ... | |
| Best Used Floorstanders for Rock & HT under $2100? Gallo 3.1. Excellent bass even without the sub amp. Tight,fast and clean. Steel | |
| DAC with the best midrange ever..... I agree with Rtnl. The Krell seems to be the synergy problem. I have owned Krell's and liked them a lot, but they are very detailed and lean to the poiny where it can make your source irrelevent. I own the Benchmark also, same issue as the Krell b... | |
| Tubes or S.S. for Thiel CS 2.4? Look for a Butler tube/SS hybrid. Thiel uses the Butler amp at their factory. Check out the review in 6moons.com | |
| Some of the Best speakers for Prog Rock/Metal Mapman,I have never heard Ohm or Dynaudio speakers, but many people seem to like them. I had the B&W CDM7NT's. They were very good at jazz anf lighter stuff, but had trouble at the bottom. They were also a bit forward. I tried to go up the cha... | |
| Some of the Best speakers for Prog Rock/Metal I was on a similar search as you when I found my B&W's lacking in this genre. Tool is my favorite band. I ended up with the Gallo Reference 3.1. A lot less $ than your limit and they play everything I throw at them very well, with an incredibl... | |
| Circuit City is Closing, Liquidating Hi Bobheinatz,Your story is not unique and I have run into this from time to time. Of the 5-6 higher end stores in my area, I would not step foot in 4 of them. Which is a shame to the customers(us) and to the manufacturers that that particular dea... | |
| Gallo Reference 3.x Stands... 02-07-09: Barry_e_cohenSteel, do the References mount to the Sound Anchors, or just sit on top of them?The Sound Anchors come with mounting disks that remind of an adhesice sorbothane. They mount pretty well but I prefer using the BluTak that wlds... | |
| Gallo Reference 3.x Stands... I use the custom Sound Anchor Gallo stands. I like them a lot because they are really heavy and provide excellent support for the 3.1's. They are cast iron I believe and give a similar height to the Mapleshade stands.http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb... | |
