| Times when there is too much LFE... I agree as well. I watched it several time in last few days and found the LFE reproduction to be skewed and unexpected, i.e. loud when the image didn't suggest that scale of noise, or quiet when you saw something of scale moving, crashing, or expl... | |
| MC402 vs FPB 300cx Florian, They are wonderful amps and I really have yet to be disappointed in them, even when demoing them with multiple speaker brands. You can't go wrong and they have plenty of power to handle most any speaker, within reason and room size of cou... | |
| Levinson 383 a good match for B&W 803D's I saw a big difference in imaging when A/Bing the 803 D to S. The diamond tweeter and the extra bass driver do a lot to expand on the dynamic platform of the 803S. Sweeter mids and highs, more impactful and defined bottom-end. Better depth and sou... | |
| MC402 vs FPB 300cx Yeah I have spoken to the dealer and am trading my 803S for the 803D. I really do like the presentation. The tweeter speaks for itself and the added bass output capabilitiy coupled with the sweeter top end seems to breathe a little more life into ... | |
| MC402 vs FPB 300cx My 402 failed about a month back (a strange erratic static sound when all is quiet without the amp connected to any sources, just speaker cables to speakers and on) and I couldnt get a replacement from Mac so my dealer cut me a deal on new 501's a... | |
| MC402 vs FPB 300cx How hard were you pushing it to hear that? I am wondering what the next steps will be as I want to eventually move toward 802d's. I talked with McIntosh (Chuck as listed on the support site). He did speak a lot to the fact that the 803 is really a... | |
| MC402 vs FPB 300cx What were these difficult loads (specifically) low impedance speakers, large speakers? And what are you quantifying this with? Wattage? Current? Is this literally a by ear measure? I ask because I'm curious and as a relatively new-comer to the hob... | |
| MC402 vs FPB 300cx In response to the McIntosh producing power into impedance. The 400 WPC into 8,4,or 2 ohms is a manufacturer published MINIMUM. Dynamic specs are not published and I verified this with a McIntosh Rep who assured me the 402 was capable of far more ... | |
| B&K 200.2 S2 I own a reference 200.2 series 2 and the Reference 5 S2 pre-amp. I found them altogether more musical and neutral than the Rotel Gear. Power is tremendous. B&K rates conservatively (225 wpc into a 5-45khz response). I drive a pair of B&W 8... |
