| Maggie Home Theater Speaker Set-up advise This sounds like a great setup! I would go with the center channel because it is curved and will have a greater point source radiation into the room. The flat sideways concept would create just the exact oposite situation in that the center image ... | |
| Lowether spakers: Any dissappointment: good/bad? You are on the right path!!! Lowther type speakers are the way to go because they play music like nothing else. Building your own is another story. Use of fiber board is not a good Idea. Check out the Lowther site and do a search for speaker build... | |
| Used tube dac under 1000.00 -Please advise. I know you said tubes, and I am in the market at this exact price point with an all tube system also. But take a look at the 47Labs site at their cheaper DAC and read the article on oversampling also. The Audio Research cd player info will confirm... | |
| Love for music shatter by highend equipment Sound quality has nothing to do with music quality period!!! The main problem with these guys that are too lofty to listen to a "cheap" system is that they have their prioraties backwards and are listning for how a system sounds rather than how it... | |
| Better magazine, Stereophile or Absolute Sound they are the same, try Listner, way better | |
| ayre cx-7cd player Just listened to it a day ago, in an all ayre/bw802 system. First I would like to mention the build quality which is the same level as the other ayre stuff-great! solid feet high quality connections etc. This quality beats most 5 grand cdp's on th... | |
| What amp. to use with Totem Forest? I have the perfect amp for such accurate speakers! the Belles 250watt amp. This would be a perfect match. This amp is highly recomended with Merlin speakers for it's flat response. The Totems could use the extra power also. | |
| anyone actually compared the cary 805c I did this comparison at Holm audio in IL. and came away thinking that the 300b's had way more articulate detail and musicality plus much better bass- the 805's are good but only if you need the power and then I would go Art Audio Jota with a true... | |
| Who is makes a CD/digital specific power cord ? JPS Labs makes a great one! | |
| Beyond SACD with Redbook: Price No Object I agree that SACD and DVD-audio are totally dead plain and simple. Absolutly no quality software!!! Too late they have missed the window of opportunity. I would spend all you want on a great cd player like 47labs or Audiomeca with no concern of ne... | |
| Why no threads on OTL amps? I think OTL is alive and well but many are put off by the incredable heat these amps put out except for Transcendent and I also think that the low watt/ high efficency lowther type horn speaker crowd is taking over big time. You can't beat the dyn... | |
| tube amp/flutter in speakers? very simple, your amps don't like the speakers and are unstable into the load they present for whatever reason. Either impedence/effeciency of the speakers or design of the amp/input impedence-output sensitivity. This is a guess though as I am not... | |
| Best Speakers/ Mini monitors USED 5K Merlin is the best you can do if you can find a used pair at all- I also agree with the Utopia's as being great but go with quads or anything before you go with your three pics- I know they look good but sonicly you can kill them for way less mone... | |
| Has anyone experienced the new Levinson 390S? Look at Audio aero, Electrocompanient, and Metranome before you spend the bucks on Mark Levenson- as good as it is, I think these companies all better the 390s for less money and if you go down in price a little the new Meridian is great for a lot... | |
| Best home theater subwoofer to mate w/Aerial 7B's Do you want to relax, stick with the Rel of any kind. But if you want overblown explosions and a room full of presure, go with the new version subs like the Sunfire Sig. - You do not need something as big as the Aerial sub or as expensive when Sun... |
