| Signal Cable vs. Element Cable for Subwoofer I had Frank at Signal Cable make me a splitter for my REL subwoofer and I'm very pleased with its performance and build quality... it was an instantly recognizable improvement over the stock issue cable. I can not speak for the other manufacturers... | |
| Speaker suggestions for an Art Audio PX25 In the multi-driver category of efficient speakers the 2 names that come to mind are Coincident and Silverline, they both carry many models in size and price that are highly acclaimed and very fitting for low powered SET's. | |
| On Rel subs: Which are most musical? I have a Stadium II and agree with Paufolbrecht word for word. My main speakers are also full range (almost) and crossing over the Rel really low just fills in that last lower bit... it's subtle but definitely there; but it's the ability to add ev... | |
| Silverline Sonata II or III owners I'd have to agree with Pdreher about being a little light in the bass (I have Sonata II's) when running alone but I've had a Rel Stadium II sub with them that really fills in the bottom and fleshes out the already good imaging. I'm using fairly po... | |
| Speaker disappearing act? Big speakers will absolutely disappear. Mitch4t is exactly right..."When everything is right they vanish...". Mine do and it really is amazing. Even when I stare right at them while playing, it seems like they have no purpose in the room! By the w... | |
| Sonic Frontiers preamp in standby mode My Line 3 is always left in stand-by... it's been 5+ years. In fact, on the rare occassion I do turn it completely off (change a tube or mess with something) I'm always hesitant to hit that button... my mind thinks of power surges and all kinds of... | |
| Full Range Speakers for a Small Listening Room I'll second the silverline, I have a sonata mark II which I use in a 12'x 15' room (that opens up behind me) and I sit about 8'-9' from them, sounds great. Their whole line is very good, you might try the sonatina or the sonata. Best thing is they... | |
| Sonic Frontiers Line 3 and Power Condtioners I have a Line 3 SE and have plugged it and most of the rest of my system (but not amps) into an MIT "Z-Center" from day 1 (over 5 years) with very good results. Then I also acquired an MIT "Z-Isolator HC" which I now use exclusively for the Line 3... | |
| best speakers for vocals? Try Silverlines with a good 300B based SET amp...Viva, Art Audio,etc. Absolutely spooky real on female vocalists. | |
| silverline vs von schweikert I can't speak for the Von S's (though I've read good things) but I can also speak for the Sonatas (I have the II's too) as they are exceptionally musical. They are easy to place but do appreciate the extra effort to get it just right. Never fatigu... | |
| tube amps with El 34s your favorites ?? My VTL MB-125's are wonderful. They do everything I can ask for... Smooth and rich but detailed and defined. Great soundstaging and depth... then there's always the triode switch for the added evening relaxation mood. Completely reliable, stable (... | |
| VTL MB 185 Signature any Good or Bad Comments I agree with Braro, I currently own VTL MB-125's and they have been truly wonderful and completely trouble free (4 years since I bought them new). An acquaintance of mine has the 185's and also likes them a lot. P.S. I am thinking of selling / tra... | |
| Replacing Sonic Frontiers Line 3 SE I also have a Line 3 which was factory modded when I ordered it new almost 5 years ago, it is essentially an SE too and I could not think of anything I would replace it with which could do all it does sonically AND boast its features. I wish you l... | |
| Subwoofer Recommendations for Audiophile Monitors I have had a Rel Stadium 2 for several years and it is an excellent integrater with many speakers but if size really matters what about those little Carver subs, they are only about 1 foot square? Good luck. | |
| Power amp for Silverline Sonata III The OTL thing intrigues me too. I've heard the Atma-spheres briefly at the NY CES a couple of years ago but not with any other equipment I was familiar with. It seems the M60 MkII is the bread and butter of the line with extensive accolades. There... |
