| Speakes for SET amp I'm looking for something similar. Verity is at the top of my list. | |
| Speaker suggestion for Lamm ML2.1 amps My two top choices at a commensurate price level would be Wilson or Verity. | |
| DAC Advice needed. The Ayre DAC is excellent. | |
| Boulder 1060 amplifier sound vs. Krell EVO 402 It my experience Boulder has a slightly more refined and more natural sound. I'd lean that direction if it were up to my preferences. | |
| Who makes a GM-70 based SET? Thanks guys. Fjn04- My speakers are listed at 90 db into 8ohm. No detailed measurements exist that I can find so I don't know how flat that is. I'm just going to try it and see what happens. For teh record I wish Dehavilland used different tubes i... | |
| Meridian, Ayre, Musical Fidelity, Ayon, Lector $2k I don't know if your system is up to the task of displaying how much better the C5xe is but take my word for it, it is. I've gone to a modified Transporter and a Music Vault and I think it is better and more functional than even the C-5xe. Not sur... | |
| Equalizer or acoustic room treatment or? I for one am not convinced your room is imparting any real issues here. Doing some treatment might make a subtle adjustment, and it's worth doing (correctly) no matter what else is working or not working for you, but it's not going to change the f... | |
| Best frieght company to ship Speakers Uship has the best prices but you have to wait a few days for a bid. If they are well packed preferably in crates and shipped freight I've had very good experiences. Frankly it seems like the heavier and bigger the crates are the better. I just th... | |
| Tube testers- I've heard grumbling of a ...... Thanks for the info guys! I'd heard it was in the hundreds not thousands. | |
| Meridian, Ayre, Musical Fidelity, Ayon, Lector $2k The Ayre c5xe w/o the upgrade is the best CDP I've ever found under $10K and I've tried many. It is much better than any Meridian I've ever heard as well as a lot of others. The upgrade is cheap and well worth it. However C-5xe's go for $4k+ used ... | |
| Bi Amp B&W 803s with 9BSST and 4BST I think bi-amping is a great improvement in a difficult to power speaker. I used a 4 channel 300 series Rowland that was excellent, and no output matching issues. In my last pair of speakers the improvement was not subtle. | |
| Krell Evo202 or B&W 802 or McIntosh C1000 solid I think you have enough money to do both ($8-10k). The preamp will make a huge improvement and so will a jump in speakers. $8-10k in enough to buy a great preamp and go to 802's. | |
| Tube Amp to play with my B&W 803D B&W speakers are not very tube friendly. I suggest you either change them out, or stick with SS. If you must switch I would keep it very high powered. Maybe a VTL 450. I tried a ARC amp once and the results were not even decent. | |
| US only sales WHY??? I agree with all of the above comments and can ad in my experience every time I get an international inquiry, it always leads to a discussion about electrical compatibility. That always leads to a lot of wasted effort, and no sales. | |
| How does one get off the merry-go-round? Man that was deep. I'm just looking for some cool audio gear. Sometimes I'm on a merry go round, and other times a spiral (not saying which direction). But it's always fun, and that's really the point (to me). |
