| B W Nautilus 802 - How much power? The N802s are listed as 8 ohms, nominal, yet actually spec-out at about 6 ohms. More importantly, a significant portion of there LF is in the 3 ohm range (there are significant peaks to 12 and 13, at certain frequencies). As such, your more import... | |
| New Transport Approach I've been holding off buying a CD/DVD player for this very reason: I expect this read-from-memory to be about a year from now.Meridian does do the seminal portion of this concept: its FIFO buffering through multiple processors allows multiple read... | |
| Replace ML Requests w/ B W 802's The N802s are truly reference speakers; especially within their price range. I've owned the N802s for more than a year, now, and am continually impressed by the sound. These are the last speakers that I'll buy: I'll need to improve may amps and so... | |
| Comments on the Meridian 588 CD Player? What is the grousing about. I spent considerable time on AudioAsylum, and everyone seems to love the machine (other than the normal details of one machine among several was not perfect, then was fixed to be perfect.The alternative is to spend $5k ... | |
| BW Nautilus 802, blow away Nautilus 803 I own the N802s; for my money and their price, they are the best speaker available. | |
| B&K 220M vs. Ref 7250 for 2 ch. I did have that concern on the Contours, based on other threads that I've participated in. Oddly, B&W (I have the N802s) believes in it strongly. By the way, Thiel also things bi-wiring and bi-amping are voodoo audio-electronics.Given the situ... | |
| B&K 220M vs. Ref 7250 for 2 ch. Another point. Several reviews have shown that B&K over-sells their specifications: that the wpc they advertise are more than what you get. I can only say that there are experts who measure these things, and most, if not all, say this. Certain... | |
| B&K 220M vs. Ref 7250 for 2 ch. The 7250 will provide the rated amps (220wpc, I believe) into 2 channels @ 8 omhs; into 4, they'll go to 350, again, I believe. Offset this with the 89db, which is one or two below the 'norm'.It works that you set the volume for clarity and articu... | |
| B&K 220M vs. Ref 7250 for 2 ch. I have the B&K 4220Ms: monoblocks @ 250wpc; they are an exceptional value. However, the 7250 is excellent, as well. I recommend standing firm, unless your speakers are running out of amplifier. The 7250 generates 180wpcs, all channels driven. ... | |
| Is DVD-A still-born? I'll propose an alternate perspective; that is, neither SACD nor DVD-A will be a major success: not in the same sense as CDs. This comment runs counter to virtually every article that I've read, and most posts.My concern is that both multi-channel... | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? They do; they just can't afford it. | |
| no body is buying anything on audiogon The more important issue, stemming from both the 'wealth effect' (I have about 50% less these days, a couple ordinals 6 spaces to the left of the decimal) and 'summer' is how we respond to it.I continue to have a strong desire to upgrade the B&... | |
| Disappointed in SACD player This is a good example of one company trying to dominate. I do appreciate a company or one person trying to dramatically improve the 'standard', but to then gouge based on that is not appropriate. For their (Beta-type) greed, I sincerely hope that... | |
| B W user group I could not find the 'bwspeakers' thread.I am interested, though. | |
| CD/DVD Transports to Surround Processor Glen:Thanks again. It is interesting, now that I re-read, for the umpteenth time, various product descriptions, that what I was looking for was there: through a glass, darkly, and in tech-speak of course.I'll probably settle on the Theta array of ... |
