| Best Amp for Timbre, Depth and Spatial Resolution? The BCs are petite yet smooth and dimensional, refined, powerful and very nice looking. Not unlike a classy world class supermodel/female athlete. So as amps go, I have no qualms settling for that. They were a stretch for me even used, but worth i... | |
| Best Amp for Timbre, Depth and Spatial Resolution? My current Bel Canto Ref1000m monoblocks are about as good as anything I have heard anywhere in recent years with my OHM and Dynaudio speakers, and come in your price range used, but there are certainly lots of great amps out there. You just gotta... | |
| Which Harbeth Speakers I would expect Harbeth, Dynaudio and Focal to each sound unique and different off any particular amp. Different amps used would likely sway preferences to some degree. | |
| Does anyone really need to spend 10k on power Everyone needs to spend money on things like food, shelter, and health care.

It worked pretty well with much of the music demoed but Zu guy admitted when I queried that the amp was under powered for certain kinds of music like the Rush lp I asked to hear. Bass was noticeably ... | |

| What to upgrade? Thicker, more padded, household white items are easy and cheap tests to try just to see/hear if any difference at all before investing in panels. Good idea! If effect is too much, try thinner quilt or reduce surface area covered as needed. Lots of... | |
| $9000 speaker Orangutan or speaker + amplifier Having never heard either speaker, and seeing both options as viable, I see bigger up side with larger and more efficient and costly Devores even off you r current 30 watt amp, so my guess (only a guess) is that is the better way. But no telling w... | |
| Does anyone know of a good 3-way bookshelf speaker Good question, why 3 way and not 2? Can't think of ANY newer smaller 3 way designs I have heard recently that have uniquely caught my ear. They seem to be somewhat rarer these days in high end audio circles than in past years. Maybe for good reaso... | |
| Can Digital beat our Analog installations? The topic has been beat to death here over the last couple years. Not much new to say unless specific questions asked or making specific comparisons of specific products as opposed to digital versus analog in general."I'll go out on a limb and say... |
