| Anyone else pairing the new AR Ref 150w/sasha? Just replaced my W/P 8 with Sashas. More musical less analytical.I demoed them with the ARC 150 and it sounded great. Very musical with great dimension and extension at reasonable volumes. But if you like higher volume with a powerful low end, you... | |
| Focal/JM Labs Nova Utopia Be Thanks guys. I think you're right about the Scalas being the better fit for my room. I'm also considering Rockport Ankaas(though I just heard they are discontinued), Coincident Pure Reference, and SP tech revelations. Unfortunately, no where to he... | |
| Focal/JM Labs Nova Utopia Be Bill, that is great to hear. System synergy is something we all work on, and sometimes we get lucky! Enjoy.I was hoping to hear from Adamg about his impressions of the Focal Nova, in his slightly smaller than my room. Would also appreciate anyone ... | |
| Focal/JM Labs Nova Utopia Be Hey Bill, how'd the PBN's work out?Yeah, as you know my wife doesn't share my enthusiasm for all things audio!! She has adjusted to the Wilsons, but still thinks they're ugly as sin!!There is a smokin' deal on the net for a pair of Focal Novas, bu... | |
| Focal/JM Labs Nova Utopia Be I'm considering replacing my Wilson W/P8s with Focal Novas. Pricing on the Novas has come way down since the new series of Focals has been released. The Wilsons sound pretty good in my room, but don't go as low as my old PBNs. They are also a litt... | |
| Sony SCD-XA5400ES-Best SACD for under $10,000 For those of you using the Modwright Sony 5400, any power cord recommendations for the transport and the PS9?Thanks,Lubes3 | |
| Interested in Focal Scala Utopias The size wouldn't be a problem since I replaced a pair of rather large PBN Montana EPS2s, which my wife prefered to the Wilsons, probably due to the wood veneers. She truly hates the look of the mod/industrial Wilsons. Now I am very happy with the... | |
| Interested in Focal Scala Utopias Just heard the Scalas at Digital Ear in SoCal, also heard the Revel Salon2 but was not impressed. I listened to the Scalas, on Burmester equipment with Transparent Reference cables, for about an hour and appreciated the relaxed and nonfatiguing pr... | |
| Amplification for Wilson Watt Puppy 7s or 8s I could have been very happy with the McCormacks with their errors of omission, but the Spectrons provided more information, with possibly less distortion. Both amps exceed the older Spectron Premier 7 in all aspects of music.Several days later-Af... | |
| Amplification for Wilson Watt Puppy 7s or 8s 2/16/10-Initial comparison:I can only compare the new Musicians to the McCormack DNA-750 mono-blocks at this point. The highs are much better and more real, to me, on the Spectrons. The bass is very strong and powerful, maybe more so, on the Spe... | |

| Amplification for Wilson Watt Puppy 7s or 8s Hey guys. Just hooked the Spectron Musician III Mk2 Mono-blocks up for about 4 hours, so only initial observations. Contrary to what I thought I would hear, I prefered the highs on the Spectrons, cymbals/brushes sounded much more real. The McCorma... | |
| Amplification for Wilson Watt Puppy 7s or 8s Atmasphere,In my conversations with Wilson, they currently use Spectral amps to design their speakers. Don't know what they did in the past. Wilson also said that because the WP8s dip to 2.3 ohms at 80 Hz, they will certainly benefit from a high c... | |
| Amplification for Wilson Watt Puppy 7s or 8s Samhar,I don't know if these have the current to control my Watt Puppy 8's woofers. They need to go into a fairly well ventilated cabinet(WAF), so I prefer amps that don't generate a lot of heat. I believe the DNA-750s operate in class AB and the ... | |
| McCormack DNA-750 Mono-Blocks? OK Guys, I've had 3 hours with the McCormack DNA-750 Mono-Blocks (750 watts/ch into 8 ohms, 1000 watts/ch into 4 ohms) in my system, which consists of: Conrad Johnson CT-5 Pre-ampMcCormack DNA-750 Mono-Blocks (Demo for a week)McIntosh MVP-871 (Upg... |
