| Good In-Ceiling Speakers?? Thanks everyone for all the suggestions, my dealer/friend sells Speakercraft and I was looking at a pair of AIM4's (8" 2-way). I really like their outdoor speakers and am disappointed to hear Elevick did not like their in-ceiling. Maybe some more ... | |
| McCormack DNA 500 This amp is at the top of my (very) short list for a near-future amp upgrade, so I am very interested in the responses to this thread, not only by those who have read the reviews, but by those who have actually heard (or preferrably owned) one. I ... | |
| Outboard crossover box location?? Aarsoe, the speakers are Alon V MkII's that have been upgraded to all alnico drivers, exactly the same as the Stereophile Class A Alon Circe. It is a very worthwhile upgrade, since cabinet construction is the same in both speakers, except for how ... | |
| BAT vs Pass Labs Amp Hi, the BAT VK75 is a tube amp with 75wpc. You can buy a second one and have a pair of very good tube monoblocks delivering 150wpc. That should be enough to easily drive most speakers. OTOH, the Pass X250 is a solid state amplifier, and the sound ... | |
| Outboard crossover box location?? thanks Eldartford, that helps. | |
| Outboard crossover box location?? Thank you for the response Aarsoe. I am currently running 3 lengths of 15 feet long speaker cables from my amp to the speakers, which have the crossovers inside them. Long story short, moving the crossovers to an external box is the last step in a... | |
| Aragon 4004MKII upgrade,Aragon 3005 or Rotel 1095? The 4004MkII is IMO still a good sounding amp compared to comparably priced amps these days. Have you considered keeping the Aragon and adding a 3-channel amp such as an Acurus A-200x3? That would be a cost effective way to maintain your good soun... | |
| Anyone know of any cryoed speaker wire? VH Audio promotes and sells the same star quad cryo'ed wire used in the Flavor 4 power cords as speaker wire. According to the website; "THIS WIRE IS ALSO HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR USE AS SPEAKER CABLE." I have a pair 15 feet long with the Furutech g... | |
| About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone Patrick, I hope you find strength and hope from the many wonderful responses here. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. Best wishes for the new year, and many more. - Tim | |
| Worst mismatches in equipment: your warnings Interesting response from Jeffloistarca, I also have the BAT Vk-500 with Alon V/Circe's and had a similar experience with Cardas Neutral Reference. Surprisingly the DH Labs Q-10 provide a cleaner, more open and more dynamic sound, only bettered by... | |
| Powercords $1000 that beat VH Audio cords Krisgel, a couple of thoughts before you give up on a pretty good VH Audio cord and start cycling $1,000 cords.1. As mentioned above, installing dedicated lines and using good power conditioning will go a long way towards your goals.2. I second (o... | |
| Guilty Pleasures? Mike, did he still have that skull on the top of the piano? Some of the stuff is a little repetitive, but the overall is well worth it, that old dude can really play. A personal favorite is his covers of Duke Ellington tunes, on a disc called Duke... | |
| Best copper interconnect cables Damn, Matty, I was hoping nobody would think of Luminous since I have a "wanted" posting for a 1.5 to 2 M balanced pair of IC's. I have one pair and they sound great in my system, so I am looking for a second pair to replace my Golden Reference (w... | |
| BAT Solid State Amps? Check out their website where they discuss design features and have reviews posted for their previous models. I do not remember seeing any reviews on the newer models yet, although knowing the work of the designer, I assume they are as good or bet... | |
| Guilty Pleasures? Doctor John playin that funky stuff, oh and a second on the Boxcar Willie. Even talked a couple of friends into seeing the good doctor live this year! |
