| Dynaudio Confidence 5 Don't go tubes. They wont mesh well. You need beefy solid state for these speakers. If I werer you i would get the pass X-350 that just came on audiogon. That would be an ideal match. The nemos are a lot more and may not be worth the extra money. ... | |
| Speaker recommendations for 2,500 or less? SF EA IIs are amazing speakers. I would take the talons over them for sound quality but you really can not go wrong with Electa Amator IIS for a mixture of looks and sound. Very good suggestion... If only i had thought of that..... | |
| Integrated for Dad Musical Fidelity integrated amps are great as well. | |
| no difference between 4k meridian & 400 DVD? Try to borrow some higher quality speaker cables from the dealer as well so you can experiment more faithfully. As for the two copy thing... I can not tell a difference between a cd copy and the real thing on my pretty revealing system, but then a... | |
| Dynaudio Confidence 5 The YBA PAssion monoblocks would also be ideal. The Nemo is very good. I dont think i would take it over the amps i have mentioned. The Pass Labs is probably your best bet for the money. The Nemos are strange because their top end is rolled off be... | |
| Speaker recommendations for 2,500 or less? Those talon peregrine speakers on audiogon now for 2500 with stands is one of the best deals i have ever come across. This speaker is almost as good as the original Khorus. Incredible!!! That is my advice for sure. If you dont go for these i would... | |
| Opinions on a hi-end ? portable mini system I'd get the linn Classik if i were you and buy any quality mini monitors you want. Totems and Triangles are good. PMCs are better. Sonus Fabers.... (Guaneri Homage (very small)) the best! That is without a doubt the route i would go. - Ian | |
| Pass Aleph 1.2s.... Anyone familiar Do people find that upgrading power cords have a positive effect on this amp or any of the Aleph series amps for that matter? Thanks - IanAlso please keep your oppinions on the aleph amps rollin in!! | |
| Integrated to go with Merlin monitors i would definitely go for the Sim Audio Moon I5 integrated. That is what merlin uses to power them at shows. It really really goes well with the speakers and they are very component sensitive. Thats what i would do.... Also irrespective the I5 is ... | |
| Bear Labs compared to Say -Acoustic Zen Silver ??? I know someone who sold their Silver Reference(to me)and replaced them with bear labs ICs. That should tell you something.... | |
| Dynaudio Confidence 5 I'm using the Plinius Sa-250. However, the Classe Omega seems ideal for this amp. It needs lots of current. No necessarily watts. The plinius is good but not ideal. Also the Pass X-350 seems to mate well. What is your present amp? | |
| DAC recommendations I'd go for the muse if you can get a good deal on one.... | |
| no difference between 4k meridian & 400 DVD? I know the differnce between my 37 36 combo from levinson and the theta miles was huge. No comparison that the levinson rig was better. It actually almost made the theta unlistenable. So i know there are differences..... thats for sure. There have... | |
| Dynaudio Confidence 5 The C5s are incredible speakers. They sound very similar to the Temptations. I would definitely recommend you buy a pair. They do require A LOT of power so make sure that you feed them accordingly. That 43 hz figure seems a bit wrong. I would esti... | |
| Marantz SA14 or used CD player? If you want SACD and CD in one unit the Marantz SA-1 is a really really good unit and sells for about 3700.00 on audiogon used but in perfect shape. It used to be one of the best single box players on the market for red book but now the new upsamp... |
