| What one product has redefined music for you?? MAybe Apogees will make a comeback with the advent of more affordable class D amps capable of driving them. | |
| Krell KAV400 VS Musical Fidelity A300 A 3.2 A3.5 The music had a nice and I recall very distinctive energy to it regarding overall dynamics with the Krell on the Focals and even on the Martin Logans. Not sure I could equate it exactly to anything else I've heard...very unique. IS that the "Krell... | |
| Musical Int. Amp that has exstended natural treble Dkzzzz,What is the rest of your system, including source, speaks, and cables? | |
| Krell KAV400 VS Musical Fidelity A300 A 3.2 A3.5 Also I was under the impression that all amps produce a lot of heat when operating in class a mode? Nothing surprising there. | |
| Krell KAV400 VS Musical Fidelity A300 A 3.2 A3.5 I've heard the Krell integrated with Cambridge 840c source, decent audioquest cables and with both larger Focal Profile and Martin Logan speaks on several occasions.Liked it a lot with the Focals. Not so much with the MLs. The sound was too dark a... | |
| Best Integrated, period. The Pass sounds wonderful.I'm still thinking though that the Rowland 500w/ch Class D is probably the best high end match for my big power sucking Ohms. I almost went straight to Class D power amplification during my last upgrade, but decided to go... | |
| OHm micro walsh series... "I use the MBL sound as the top (for me) and a lot of people say that they resemble them a lot."Resemble is probably a fair statement. Never heard MBL or the two back to back, but have done a lot of research. I suspect there are many similarities ... | |
| Best bookshelf monitor under $1000 new or used. I like the Triangle Titus 202.Easy to drive, sounds great with any kind of music at any volume, front ported to help with the low end you'll need if the shelves sit up high and truly small enough to fit on most any bookshelf. Add a sub later and y... | |
| Best Integrated, period. Is the INT 150 the Pass model we're talking about?Is there another Pass integrated besides this one? | |
| Anyone NOT like the sound of VPI? I still think its most likely an issue with the low compliance cartridge. Vpihw's suggestion of adding mass to the tonearm is worth a try. | |
| What one product has redefined music for you?? Audiojoy4,It would be hard to come up with good recordings if not I would think. If the stuff used to make and monitor the recordings were not good, that would surely cramp the home listener's style. Having good home equipment might be considered ... | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Well, if you're hearing it, chances are its real bass alright and rest assured if the only thing that changed was speaker location, it is due to room acoustics. That is normal. I've never met a room that did not have acoustics (for better or for w... | |
| Recommend Classical Piano LP's Its not piano, but down the Satie road, "Sketches of Satie" by Steve Hackett is great to mellow to and very hypnotic as well. Hackett used to play guitar for the progressive rock group Genesis back in their 70's heyday and is a very accomplished c... | |
| What sounds best integrated or separates? "I cannot think of any 500 watt integrateds."Class D Icepower modules go to 5002/ch into 8 ohm and 1000w/ch into 4.Rowland makes a 500w/ch integrated using this for under $10000 I believe.Any other manufacturers provide a 500w/ch class D integrate... | |
| Food: What does the typical audiophile eat? "I'm eating a slice of lemon pound cake right now with some grape-cranberry juice. I had cornflakes for breakfast, pasta with marinara sauce for lunch and a Boca Burger with curry rice and veggies for dinner."No meat. You must have panel speakers ... |
