| High Quality Integrated to power Mani-2 Not sure if 1 ohm is accurate for the mani-2's but I'd take the 400xi off there. It's a really nice amp but it's not equippped to drive high power (mani-2 = 85db) into low impedences. See the measurments from Stereophile. | |
| Best Speaker for $2500 Rock - Jazz, No Clue I'll chime in with NHT 3.3's and Revel F-30's. Both should work well and cost you 1500-1800 used. I've actually owned the 3.3's so I can vouch for those over the long term....great speakers that will rock with the best of them. I suppose not knowi... | |
| Do Audiophiles blow speakers? Ask this on the Washington D.C. interns forum for additional input. | |
| Best Monitors for Rock N' Roll under $2500 How about NHT 3.3's ? Not a monitor but, as per the other posts here, you'd be asking a lot of any small speaker. I owned the 3.3's and beside needing some power they were an unbelievable speaker that compete with the best designs of today. At $15... | |
| How good is the Aragon 8008mk.2 amp? Guess my experience is just different - I think that amp is every but the equal of the others mentioned. I'm not a believer that all amps sound the same, but I also don't think they sound as different as many would have you believe. Just found a p... | |
| How good is the Aragon 8008mk.2 amp? I had the 8008BB, same circuitry. That amp was on par with almost any other SS, high powered amp including Krell and Levinson. The ONLY thing that you could hold against it is that it wasn't a true differential balanced design. I'm considering loo... | |
| What was/is the heaviest weight amp you herd/own Regarding those Krell MRA's...always wondered what size the transformers were in those? Anyone know? I know that the FPB-600 has 2X4KVA transformers which is unbelievable. | |
| Review: Aragon 8008 BB Amplifier Hey Dave - glad to hear you're enjoying it. I had a KAV-250A and a Levinson 332. Both were nice but really not any better than the 8008 to my ears. I'm always trying new stuff and always buy used, so dollar-wise I rarley lose much...time-wise thou... | |
| Review: Aragon 8008 BB Amplifier I've owned an 8008BB twice....upset that I got rid of it both times, once for Krell, once for Levinson. Awesome amp that lets you choose other places to put the savings...i.e. speakers. It's a pretty neutral amp that acts damn near a voltage sourc... | |
| Arcam AVR-300 vs. B & K AVR 507 vs. Rotel RSX-1067 AVR507 is much better IMO than the other 2. Very powerful, non-current limiting amps, and great build quality. The pre sections of all 3 are very good, it's the amps that make the difference - especially when driving low efficiency speakers. | |
| Which basic amps can drive 1 ohm loads ? I myself wouldn't choose any Apogee speakers over today's better offerings, however back in the day I believe they were something to be reckoned with. Regardless, there are other speakers that require stability and current that the question is val... | |
| Which basic amps can drive 1 ohm loads ? Just thought I'd chime in on this thread after I found it during a search. Regarding the Aragon's ability to drive a 1 ohm load and, more specifically Apogee speakers - I distinctly remember the letter which Mondial wrote to Stereophile after they... | |
| Which high-end receiver? Second B&K for the same reasons mentioned - true pre/power in one chassis, much like the Lex RV-8...but half the price. Have one driving 4 Paradigm Studio 100's and CC570. No problems. | |
| Audio equipment and cars...enthusiast thread... You're making generalizations based on badges instead of looking at what the cars actually are. They are in no way comparable. Saab is a front wheel drive, touring car. M3 is a rear wheel drive sports car. Please point me to the sports car that Sa... | |
| Audio equipment and cars...enthusiast thread... So how's Dean Kamen doing these days? Segway was a bit of a flop....no? Anyway, shall I assume that your amp is battery powered as well....Rowland?? |
