| Is it worth upgrading fr McIntosh MC402 to MC501? IMO I disagree with Theo..the 452 sounds a little better depending on what your sustem is.. but when you figure your spending approx 4K+ after you sell your amp ,and agin the speakers you have as far as detail etc...not worth it | |
| Dynaudio c-2 ...amp advice Mcintosh or simaudio I ran a 402 w/C4s..worked well but Pass Labs is a much better fit ,IMO | |
| Is it worth upgrading fr McIntosh MC402 to MC501? IMO, as a 402 owner..with the speakers you have its not worth the extra scratch | |
| esoteric x-05 player IMO ,I agree with all the above postings about breakin time.I ran Pass amps for a short time with my X03se and it was glorious.I think you will like what you hear after several 100+ hours of breakin..enjoy!!! | |
| SACD player This is exactly where I was a year ago.I listened to several including the Sony 5400,Marantz11S2 and the Oppo which are being suggested above.The Sony did nothing for me,the Marantz a little better but what I decided and did was saved more cash an... | |
| Amplifier for Altec Valencia speakers Ive owned a couple different pairs years ago..If memory serves me I used McIntosh most of the time,along w/Marantz and Jadis .Not the greatest speakers IMO but Ok if ya got em cheap.I suggest selling them and buying something better | |
| Klipsch speaker dropped from 4 foot stand - damage If you buy on ebay and pay through payapl...You have 45 days to return anything for any reason..Odd but true..You simply hit the "item not as described button" on paypal site and whala..its a done deal ..Then all you have to submit is UPS tracking... | |
| KT120 Tube compatibility w/ Jadis Defy 7 Amp MK 1 Not owning a Defy 7 in some time due to upkeep and retubing cost,two things I can say without hesitation.Dont substitute those tubes and forget about any customer sevice!!! | |
| dynuaudio c-1s in a small 10x12 room?/amppower? IMO,your room size is tough for the C1s to shine(small and almost square)Been there done that in a similar room.Room treatment will be a must.If you dont already own Parasound walk away from the table..I would suggest Pass labs X150.5,with the ext... | |
| Pass Labs x150.5 question Absolutely..Ive run that amp through C1s and C4s.Yes I agree that the 250.5 would be even better as Ive done that as well but the 150.5 can hold its own with those speakers(300 watts into that 4 ohm load I believe)..Pass labs and Dynaudio are a su... | |
| Dynaudio Confidence or Sonus Faber monitors I acutaly think the C2 is a great spot in the confidence line. C1 is great monitor but short on bass and C4 only is really good for very large rooms. the C2 gives me, at leat, monitor like accuracy with very nice bass. Adding the pair of JL's made... | |
| Dynaudio Confidence or Sonus Faber monitors IMO, both are a good choice for monitors C1s/Mementos..The C2s are the laim duck in the Dyn lineup..large cabinets lacking in many areas,C1s and a real nice sub will out perform the C2s so I would never suggest them | |
| Has anyone switched from Dynaudio to Harbeth IMO ,I would move up the Dynaudio line.The 3.4s are not that great to begin with,lacking alot so maybe check out the C1s.I think you will love them if you like the 3.4.The comparison Dyn/Harbeth is really not a fair fight.Again this is just my opi... | |
| Wilson Watt Puppy, which version? Wilson Watt Puppy, which version? IMO ,none.The Sophia 2 and 3 is where I would go if buying Wilson..again thats a big IF! | |
| Best amps to pair with dynaudio C2 To be honest I dont like your short list at all.Why limit yourself to monos??As a Confidence owner I would suggest a Pass X250.5 or Mac 402. |
