| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE | |
| Speaker Stands Question I'm not a fan of universal stands. If you're budget-minded, I would recommend a custom stand from Sound Anchors. Taoc also make a good value, yet high quality range of stands if you can handle the non-existent customer service. However they only c... | |
| Hegel h300 or Modwrkw200 or Music Fidelity M6500i 01-03-15: DigsmithdTalk to burt goodman at seattle hifi...he sells both the hegel and modwright...good honest fella...he'll help ya.Good advice. | |
| What is the best USED Speaker Under $10,000 I heard the B&W 802D's in a treated room with Electrompaniet amps and preferred even my old classic Infinity Renaissance 90's. I've never liked B&W's diamond tweeter which I find fatiguing. I would think the TSW Apogee Duetta Signatures, L... | |
| The most holographic Power Cord 12-30-14: LabtecI know you clowns will parse every word of my comment and come back with countless retorts of how your system defies physics and thousand dollar power cords are worth it, so carry on. You are welcome to use my post as an excuse for... | |
| Anti-cables Level 3 v. Acoustic Zen products Mcgal, i'm beginning to think you had anti cables a couple of years ago! | |
| Integrated amp for Avalon Indra I've heard the Indras a few times. The best synergy I found was with a Dartzeel CTH-8550. I also think a Boulder 865 would work well with a tubed cd player such as Ayon. I think Rowland would be a bit thin sounding and bright with these speakers. | |
| Beryllium Tweeters You could look for a pair of 2nd hand classic Yamaha NS-2000 speakers which use a Beryllium tweeter. I'm feeding a bit higher up the food chain & own a pair of Magico S5's which employ an excellent Beryllium dome. | |
| Dan D'agostino Momentum Integrated amp I heard the D'Agostino monoblocks and preamp driving a pair of Wilson Alexia's. They sound refined and powerful, and I can see how some would ascribe a tube-like sound in the way that some Rowland amps can sound tube-like, but I (personally) prefe... | |
| What is the answer? The answer is...pizza! | |
| Best Integrated, period. Calvin, it makes sense that the Revels would sound good with ARC tubes as Revel (Harmon) voiced their early speakers with classic Infinity speakers, who in turn voiced their speakers with ARC tubes. I'm glad you've found a sound you enjoy. Nice ch... | |
| All else being equal............................. Fla, that might be over his budget. He could look at a Dealer ex demo Aesthetix Atlas Signature tube hybrid amp & Janus Signature pre. That is a nice combo & would be good value. Otherwise a 2nd hand Vitus RI-100 is an awesome ss integrate... | |
| All else being equal............................. Since i'm not a fan of Krell's latest offerings, I would lean toward the Hegel. Bare in mind that i've read commentary on here & on other sites reporting there is a difference in sound between the H200 & H300, and some owners on here prefe... | |
| Most overrated audio manufacturers? 12-26-14: Gpgr4bluTieBose in the low-mid market and Magico at the high end.And your viewpoint wouldn't be influenced in ANY way by the fact you have a long history of preaching the virtues of Wilson speakers on here, would it? Lol! | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz 12-23-14: CalvinjI will post one after I get back from out of town. On my way to Houston for the holidays. Looking forward to it Calvin! Happy holidays, |
