| "1997 Vintage" REL Powered Subwoofer started making loud humming Ive owned REL since their basic entry into the US market,although the stadium wasnt my fav in their line up at the time.Of course it depends on repair cost but their newer subs far surpass the 90s lineup..other makers out there which in my mind ar... | |

| Tekton Impact Monitors I agree,Cheap cabinet construction and engineering or lack of..I heard these monitors a few weeks ago on a trip and wasn't impressed at all,very uncontrolled bass.Several attempts by the owner to tighten things up made no headway.Maybe I was expec... | |
| Biggest impact: moving from integrated to separates "and the ability to avoid complications with an extra interconnect outweighed the benefits of seperates. I was completely wrong" Being a seperates guy for decades im now running an integrated and coudnt be happier so I disagree with this statement... | |
| Decisions, Decisions.... Mcintosh, Devialet and B&W Advice Needed Im not a fan of B&W at all ,the 802D is ok but lacks bass control and a few other issues IMO.I owned the MC402 and 452 ,I would say your going the wrong direction.If staying with B&W I would match with a backline having speed,accuracy,bett... | |
| Worked Backwards and Would like to Hear Suggestions on Speakers I think back in day a lot used the 802d with mac gear,i guess it really depends on what your seeking in sound. For me those 2 brands i would never want.I prefer speed,accuracy,detail etc which neither have been accused of or shouldn't. The 802d wa... | |
| Worked Backwards and Would like to Hear Suggestions on Speakers IMO,if you can go 10 grand i would buy used and save on the 50% deprecation right as you unpack them.At that price you can basically get 25 grand speakers so id say your sitting pretty.I would not suggest Dynaudio as your amps are to slow and do... | |
| DYNAUDIO C4 VS B&W 800 D3 I owned the C4s with a Mac 402 then the 454( trying both with them)..I say the are not a good match..The Dyns need a faster more controlled amp especially in the lower section,Pass labs comes to mind,Mac is too slow and tubby.Never a fan of any B&... | |
| Dealers hijacking the discussions Sav,I wouldnt worry about him,his post are normally nonsense, lol | |
| Tekton OB Sigmas Do we really need another Tekton post,please! | |
| Mid grade Integrated amp choices Seems there a lot of chatter for the Rogue and Hegel.The Plinius is a step up,I own one and its fantastic. | |
| Linn Sondek question Over hyped with history,much better tables in its price range that dont need whatever they are selling,IMO | |
| Best integrated amp for Marten Miles 5 All the choices on your short list would definately be a major step forward imo as i dont care for Mac at all and ive owned to many to talk about. Having said that I also agree and recommend tubes with your speakers | |
| Selling Vintage equipment Having sold tons of vintage gear the past 3 or 4 years nothing is easy unless you give it way domestically .This is not the site to sell on for sure and i find ebay is or has become a bottomfeeder forum.The money is overseas, it use to be the Japa... | |
| Your advice to speakers designers Douglas, your post is senseless and offending. Be quiet now, please.Ralph, right, let the amps bring out the best in speakers. Actually Doug has nailed it,you normally get both when and if you decide to step up to true high end.Cabinet design is ... |
