| Bryston: THX for 2 ch - a good thing or not? Sorry for the bad address. I think the same statements above could be made for the ST version as the ST version is the same THX version. They are just promoting the THX badge. I don't think the versions had a price difference though I'm not sure. ... | |
| Bryston: THX for 2 ch - a good thing or not? They are the same amps. Whether THX or not, a 3B ST is a 3B ST from all I have known. They meet the standard easily in stock form. Try the Bryston owners circle at Audiocircles.com for more clarity. In fact James Tanner (VP at Bryston)may have alr... | |
| Neat Petite or ACI Emerald The Neats are one of the most musical monitors you can buy. Ive owned several Neat speakers and they always serve the music first. Another very good option are the Stone Image Audio Rothlischilde A2, one of the best monitors I have heard to date. ... | |
| cd player to match Bryston B60 integrated The Naim CD 5i works great with the Bryston from my experience. | |

| Merlin TSM-mm placement Bobby will be glad to help you as set up makes all of the difference. From what I recently learned, the speakers should be 6 to 6.5 feet apart max. and toed in pretty much directly at the listeners ears but the alignment tool helps with this angle... | |
| Bryston B60 I have owned several B60Rs and infact owned Signet SL280 B/Us when I bought the first unit in 1998. The match was very nice. I also owned a newer B60R and it retains much of the same character of the original with possibly a bit more headroom, bas... | |
| Intergrateds: Bryston,Creek,Naim,Musical Fidelity I agree with the Bryston B100SST recommendation but it is priced quite a bit more than the others. I also own a B60 and recently owned the Naim Nait 5i. The B100SST is in another league as far as soundstaging and tranparency. It is also musical as... | |
| Integrated for B&W 805 Signatures I agree with the Bryston B100 SST recomendation. It's a good a step up in refinement and musicality from at least two on your list that I have also owned. Any pre-conceived thought on it not being a good match for the sigs would not be from an own... | |
| Intergrate Amp: Plinius 9200 vs. Bryston 100 SST Hi Evan!I own the B100 SST now and also have owned the Plinus 8150i and 8100. I am not speaking for the 9200. The Plinius presentation is quite different in that it's more laid back and a bit slower sounding for lack of a better term. It is more e... | |
| Epos Vs. Neat Loose:I ended up going to Neat Elites then scaled back to make some home improvements. I then tried the Naim Nait 5i but wanted to try separates again (likely story). What I have found in the interm is a combination I am trying to decide on. I hav... | |
| Epos Vs. Neat I have owned the Neat Mystiques and Epos M12(not 12.2) at the time to compare. The Neats were much more transparent and involvinig to me. The really conveyed the musical message as far as tempo and had just a magical midrange that fills out the sp... | |
| "will ship at buyer's risk and expense" I could see this disclaimer if the seller states he strongly prefers to sell locally. If I have an item that is delicate, I may no want to ship it but I would if a buyer knew the risks were his/hers. It's the seller choice on how he or she wants t... | |
| underrated or unheard of musician/band Similar age and taste Beatlebum. I turned 40 in Septemeber. Love the Tubes. I thought my musical taste would change as I got older. It has with regards to what I am open to but I am still into the same type of stuff I looked for when I was in my e... | |
