| What speakers do you recommend? I'm considering B&W 804 D3 or Sonus Faber Olympica II Surprising to me that you liked both the B&W and the Olympica III's. We listened to both and for us, it was not contest--went with the Olympica III. We found the B&W very bright and the tweeter harsh (my wife has sensitive ears to high f... | |
| Thoughts on potential new system? I ended up going with a Velodyne DD-12+. I actually have an SVS sub I may sell. It is a beast tho so I shudder at the thought of shipping it! | |
| Thoughts on potential new system? Thanks Kalbi. Good info! | |
| Thoughts on potential new system? Oh, also Velodyne DD-10 versus Rel s3? Too many choices..... | |
| Thoughts on potential new system? Well, the ATI is going to be used in an upstairs system. I talked to another HT I staller who recommended the integra 60.5 processor over the Marantz 7702. They are the same price, and it probably doesn't matter, but any thoughts on that choice?Th... | |
| Thoughts on potential new system? Hi David,No, am not giving up my two channel Magnepan setup. That is in another room. This system will be for movies and occasional music listening. It is next to the kitchen and so I expect it will get turned on for music listening more than the ... | |
| Thoughts on potential new system? I think the Marantz is the 7702 but not 100% sure. They were quoting $1699 so it might have been the 7701 and, if so, I know Crutchfield has them for 1199.....Anyone have any thoughts on SF Olympica 2 versus 3? I am thinking with a sub, the extra ... | |
| Thoughts on potential new system? Planning on a Samsung 75" 8550 4K TV. Price is just under $5k. I thought about the 85", but we will only be about 9' away so not realley "needed" and wife thought 85 too big. I am waiting for a quote on rest of system to see how much room they hav... | |
| Pre Pro advice. NAD T 187 or?? I did not see the above responses (as I was impatient and did not see any for a week) and, after a little more research, I went for an even less expensive unit. Just installed a Marantz AV7005 which I got as a returned certified unit with full 2 y... | |
| Magnepan announces the 20.7 I do not bi amp my 20.1's. I do biwire them, however. I just am powering them with Cary 500MB amps and that seems a sufficient amount of power (1000 watts into 4 ohm load). Really enjoy the music--listen primarily to classical and jazz. Great soun... | |
| Magnepan announces the 20.7 Will be interesting to see how other reviewers feel about these. I have a pair of 201's and love them. Will be interesting to see if the new models are really noticeably better than the old ones. Problem with selling my 20.1s is shipping them unle... | |
| New Magnepan 1.7 R Thanks, Dordevic, but I assure you that I am not the first person to describe it this way. Most will agree that cone woofers "shoot" the sound at you and thus provide more impact. Planar speakers provide a more diffuse image, but with an inherentl... | |
| New Magnepan 1.7 R Preference on bass may well revolve around one's preference for music, in my experience. If you are a hard rock fan that goes to live rock concerts and want to recreate the kind of sound pressure levels and bass you hear at rock concerts, then dyn... | |
| My new CDP does SACD too.... There are many. I have the same CD/SACD player (and like it a lot!). I started buying a few SACD's a few weeks ago. I now have nearly fifty of them! Not sure I can narrow it down to three, but some of my favorites are Diana Krall Love Scenes, Viva... | |
| Berkeley Audio Design Alpha DAC Owners? That is what you can do with the Cary 306 Pro as well, tho it is not cheap (list is $8k). The previous version which is very similar sonically according to the Stereophile review can be found on Audiogon relatively inexpensively. I am sure there a... |
