| How does one get off the merry-go-round? I am serious. And stop calling me Shirley. Sorry I couldn't resist. | |
| Avalon Eidolon Diamond or Aerial 20T v2. The amps will be fine. Skip the visions. The Indras are much better at that price point. | |
| Attn: Ayre v-5xe owners I'm a former V-1xe and MXR owner. I think it's the 0 feedback thing, but Ayre's stuff seems to be a bit more refined and polite than similarly rated stuff from some others. With the right speaker that's a good thing not a bad thing. The V-5 is a g... | |
| Avalon Eidolon Diamond or Aerial 20T v2. Mtdking-I agree with you that but the Ayre MXRs were not bad on the 20t's. I had an Ayre V-1xe (200 WPC) before that and it was good too. You know I think it's that 0 feedback thing Ayre does, the power rates high but it's not as robust as some. T... | |
| Avalon Eidolon Diamond or Aerial 20T v2. I'm selling my 20t's because I want to try some tubed amplifiers and the 20t's are not a match. Once they sell I'll also have the perfect matching amp available. Mtdking (above) knows what he's talking about so take those comments to heart. I disa... | |
| Avalon Eidolon Diamond or Aerial 20T v2. Well that's good. I think your amps will work fine. I was afraid you were going to say you had some 100 wpc tube amps or something and then there was no point to considering the 20t's. Here are my comments to your remarks:"I have a good lead on a ... | |
| Avalon Eidolon Diamond or Aerial 20T v2. What is the rest of your set up? | |
| nobody talks about BAT anymore? There was a review from CES 2009 of BAT gear with Wilson WP8's. Here's the link:http://blog.stereophile.com/ces2009/You have to scroll down a ways to find it. | |
| Avalon Eidolon Diamond or Aerial 20T v2. I own 20t's now and Eidolons before them. They are very very different speakers. Which you would prefer will come down to personal preference by ear, and associated electronics. I don't disagree with your limited descriptions but neither really de... | |
| What is the Phono stage you have finished with? I have owned an Ayre P5xe, and ASR Basis Exclusive. Thy're both great pieces at their price points (used). I am now using an Atma Sphere MP-1 MK III with phono and I'll tell you the preamp is awesome, but the phono stage is as good as anything I'v... | |
| A great linestage/preamp "makes" a great system To this day adding a preamp to my system many many years ago (formerly had been using a Wadia CDP w/ volume control) was the single biggest improvement my system ever experienced. While speakers and amp make the most noticeable differences, the Pr... | |
| Which cartridge for planar 3/rb-600 arm? I'd look for a used Shelter 501 MKII, or a Zu or Soundsmith modified Denon 103r. | |
| Which class d amp? I can second the Lyngdorf. Disclaimer I have an almost new one for sale at a rediculously low price. I found it competetive with the Ayre, Levinson amps I've owned in the past for a lot less $. At 200WPC it's not quite enough to drive my big hard ... | |
| SS. Amp to go well with Aesthetix Calypso Preamp. Here is an old thread. http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?aamps&1141898495&read&keyw&zzaesthetix In it it is claimed that Jim at Aesthetix at one time did use Ayre equipment in conjunction with his own. There is an old thread ... | |
| SS. amp. for vandersteen 3A-signatures Ayre and Vandersteen have a lot of synergy. |
