| Tukan VS Legacy studio I have a pair of Legacy Studios and they are the best speakers of their size. They have a full bodied sound and can rival the Watt 3 when not paired with the Puppy. The Studio does need a sub if used in a main full range system. I also have a pair... | |
| What happen to favorite music list? Buy the CD by jennifer Warnes - The Hunter - it is the best it can rock your system and you can focus on the music at the same time - Way Down Deep will blow you if not your speakers away. I do not know if it is on vinyl but if someone knows I wou... | |
| Any Decent Sounding Multiple CD Players? The CAL Audio Labs CL 10 is a great sounding player at any price andjust as important in the office it is fast changing and quiet!!! | |
| Best CD Player for $1000 The CAL CL 10 5 disc changer used around 850-1100. Can also be used just as a transport. Great sound. | |
| Classe SSP-25 vs. Proceed AVP Why not go with the best 2-channel preamp -- the Mark Levinson 38S. It does everything well. The Proceed is Madrigal's Levinson wannabe. Stay away from Classe. | |
| amp\preamp interconnect Save money and cable phobia and buy a pair of Alpha-Core --the copper version will do great. Best sound you will ever get at any price. I have chased cables for 20 years. These get it done. | |
| Pass aleph-3 or BAT 1001 MK2 They didn't stop making the Aleph line for no reason. Look into the Electrocompaniet AW60 FTT or the AW 120 DMB amps. Both are better candidates than the ones you are considering. They list for 1995 and 3995 but can be gotten at less. | |
| Spectral Amps and Legacy Speakers? Best amp for your application is the Mark Levinson 331 or the newer 334. The 331 handles it all in the solid state department. The Spectral will do it also but I find it is not quite as clear. I have owned both before going to tubes. | |
| hales,dunlavy,legacy,dynaudio,Etc.HELP Get a pair of Legacy Focus or Signature III's and you will get everything you want. No sub needed. As you go they will take them on trade so you can eventually get the Whispers. | |
| Inner Sound Final? The Inner Sound Eros has a fuller sound with its separate bass amp than either the Mags or the ML"S. These however have a bit better soundstages. Galen Carol Audio in San Antonio has a pair of used ERos for 1995. Check them out at gcaudio.com. | |
| Tonal Controls Line Pre-Amp with XLRs. I forgot to mention the NAD 118 digital preamp for 1000 and also some older Mcintosh units like the C712 ot the C40. The C712 is usually available used for 750 and under. | |
| Tonal Controls Line Pre-Amp with XLRs. Try the Sunfire Tube preamp- it sells for 1500-1999 or the Mcintosh C42 which has great versatility in an 8 band EQ it retails for 3700 but put a wanted on both in Audiogon and you may get either for less.Also The C-5 by Luxman has these features ... | |
| VANDERSTEENS vs. THIELS Sounds like you are getting more advice than any one man should to confuse you even more. Save a little more money and buy a used pair of Thiel 3.6 (2300 or less). These will definitely beat all the ones you were considering. So will the Legacy cl... | |
| Denon AVR-3300 and NHT 2.5i The 2.5i speakers are very flexible and image nicely. They are ahard to beat for the money. They require a good unit but can reach good volme levels with receivers without the sound breaking up. Maybe something by AR with a powered built in sub mi... | |
| best 2 channels power amp around $3k? The Mark Levinson 331 is 100W 8 ohms/ 200W 4 ohms and is one of the best $5000 amps around that can be gotten used for around 3K.It does not do anything wrong except some tube amps have a different sound that I like better in some cases. |
