| Speaker shopping Help? I would add the Dynaudio C4 to your short list..Full range down to 20hz.One of the best tweeters made.I owned the Focal utopias before and there is no really no comparison.The dyns just do it right especially in your room size | |
| Bryston 14B-SST or Pass Labs X 350.5 I had my pass .5 amp in service 3 times under warranty in less than 6 months..I agree with the post on the mac 402,cant go wrong | |
| Mcintosh MC 402 2 ohm tap I agree..my dynaudios sound better running through the 2 ohm taps as well | |
| McIntosh MC352 or MC402? IMO the 402 is the way to go...on the used market the extra $800-$1000 is well worth the added detail and dynamics you will hear.Also when it comes time to move on the 402 is an easier sale and always will be... | |
| Dynaudio Confidence 5 or Confidence 1 for this room???? I also have the C4s in about the same size room as Pdreher(20-17 with 9 ' ceilings) and found room treatments a must..I would agree with the above comments and suggest the C1s as well.I havent heard the C5s for some time but wasnt that impressed w... | |
| Speaker for MC-501 IMO..I would agree with the Focal choice,a friend of mine has the Altos w/501s and it sounds very musical from top to bottom..Im not a fan of the 802d and never would recommend it. | |
| Is KEF no longer relevant? There are reasons why they dont get much chatter,easy question you can answer yourself by a demo | |
| High End Monitors Tell us why you didnt like the C1s...one of the best in class at that price point | |
| MCINTOSH AMPS I was on the fence with Mac amp since Ive owning several vintage tube amps including the legendary 275 .Until I brought one home and hooked it up /a 402...You can not go wrong with any of the choices listed..Great service and resale,nuf said.... | |
| Advantage of buying equipment in Taiwan? NONE..First time you have an issue you will regret the plan | |
| Best Power amps in $7000 range Both Classe and Parasound have build issues that are well known..If stayin within your short list..Mac hands down | |
| Difference between REL II and III in Strata storm? I had the Strata 2 and the Storm 3 at different times mating with the same monitors..I preferred the Strata series over the storm in all areas including the cost | |
| how much would you say a good set up cost I would venture to guess alot out there dont really want to think about how much they have spent (not invested) in their present system,that includes myself..I say your ballpark figure is correct(maybe a little on the low side) if buying on the us... | |
| Tweeters - beryllium vs esotar Ive owned both..I found that the Focal B tweeter to be on the metallic side,unnatural ,,,the Esotar2 tweeter IMO is more spot on | |
| Wilson Benesch ACT1 VS Dynaudio Confidence 5 I agree..Although the Confidence C5 has a cult following they are extremely difficult to drive.Ive never owned them but have listen to them a few times,nothing I would buy..If limited to your short list I would go for the WB,a better balanced speaker |
