| New Rotel 1572 or NAD 275BEE? I had the opposite experience with Rotel and NAD. I much preferred the Rotel 1520 over an NAD integrated (can't remember the model) when I auditioned them recently. I bought the Rotel even though it was more expensive. The NAD didn't sound bad, ju... | |
| which budget integrated amp Rotel, NAD or other Rega products are said to be nice, although I have no direct experience. The Rotel integrated amps do have a phono stage, which was another nice plus over NAD for me. I don't know about those Usher speakers (a dealer I visited did have a pair of U... | |
| which budget integrated amp Rotel, NAD or other I just bought a Rotel RA-1520. (My dealer didn't have the 1062, which is, I think, a little less expensive. I'm not sure if the 1062 is still available or not.) I preferred the Rotel over the NAD amp I listened to. The Rotel sounded more detailed,... | |
| Jolida Hybrid vs. NAD or Rotel Just as an update, I ended up buying the Rotel. After much consideration, I eventually decided against the Jolida because in the end, I preferred to buy from a local shop where I could hear the gear before buying. My first few ventures into local ... | |
| Jolida Hybrid vs. NAD or Rotel Thanks for the input, guys. Bob, unfortunately, I don't have the option of auditioning the Jolida at all. There are no Jolida dealers within driving distance. (I'd be willing to schlep out quite a bit, but I can't even find any within a five hours... | |
| Jolida 102B - enough power for Smaller Advents? Jerry, I'm looking into the 1501. I don't know too much about hybrid amps, but that might be a good way to go. In the recording world hybrid gear tends to get slammed - things like hybrid microphone preamps usually don't run the tubes at full volt... | |
| Jolida 102B - enough power for Smaller Advents? Thanks, everyone, for your input. Since I actually already own the Advents and do not own the Jolida, I'll be looking for a different amp, rather than a different set of speakers. I do understand that there are better speakers (and certainly more ... | |
| Jolida 102B - enough power for Smaller Advents? Well, I got it straight from the horse's mouth, as it were. According to an email I received from Jolida, the 102B will have trouble with speakers rated at less than 88 dB sensitivity. According to some specs I found, the Smaller Advent is rated a... | |
| Jolida 102B - enough power for Smaller Advents? Thanks, that's kind of what I was afraid of. I'm guessing that if I want to use the Smaller Advents, I'd have to go solid-state. I probably don't have the funds to buy the Jolida as well as a new pair of speakers, but assuming I did, what would be... |
