| Can you get "bookshelf sound" from a floorstander? 9rw,The VSM presents a sufficiently benign load to the amp that virtually ANY model over 10-15 wpc will work well. I've used more than a dozen different power amps from 300B SET designs to SS high output monsters. Ironically, it allows successful ... | |
| Can you get "bookshelf sound" from a floorstander? Tvad,I own VSMs and concur.I also have Preludes in my gym. That one's a bit of a stretch. A good speaker and great value, but not a substitute for a top shelf monitor.Marty | |
| best hybrid integrated amp 100wpc or more I own a Pathos Classic One with app 65 wpc. I use it to drive SF Cremonas which are a reasonably demanding load. The match works very well (looks great, too) and bottom end control is not an issue. I've never heard a Logos, so I can't say for sure... | |

| Does anyone actually make a processor that works HDMI 1.3 problems seem to be either a) brand specific or b) backwards compatability. That is, if all components connected via HDMI 1.3 are the same brand, problems should be rare. Evidently there's enough wiggle room in 1.3 implementation that con... | |

| Hooking up 2 amps to one set of speakers A (potentially effective, if not very creative or elegant) solution for your problem, provided the speaker terminations are readily accessible.:Use 2 amps as you suggest, but simply lay the terminated end of the speaker cable from the "inactive" a... | |
| Subwoofer choice, Sub to pair with Sonus Faber What Bob said.I've managed to successfully mate Maggies with subs (a GIANT pain in the ass) only with the aid of effective EQ - in my case a (app $500) Velodyne SMS-1. Precisely determining level match and optimum x-over frequency by ear is beyond... | |
| what are your five essential songs 5 essential pop/rock songs (jazz is another list):"Crybaby" - UtopiaThe ultimate power pop song with a vocal harmony at the chorus so perfect that it threatens to split the universe."Mother, We Just Can't Get Enough" - New RadicalsThe last-word (a... | |
| Liquid Sky and The Alloy Orchestra Don't recall the soundtrack all that well (I saw it many, many years ago), but I thought the film was a great, hilarious, feminist statement. "This pussy has teeth!" is among my all-time favorite bits of dialog.Marty | |
