| Amp for Coincident Super Eclipse I've used them with 8 watt SET amps with great success, though I think the low end drivers ultimately do require a bit more power.In my system when pairing Super Eclipse III's with Coincident Frankenstein 300b amps, I have not found that to be the... | |
| Amp for Coincident Super Eclipse Coincident makes amplifiers that perform above their price point. That would be an excellent choice. | |
| Is Accuphase E-560 a good match for Thiel CS 3.7? I would guess anything over 100 wpc would work fine. I have heard them with a Simaudio i-7 and it was excellent. The C-7xe is a little underpowered for that speaker imo. | |
| How does Boulder equipment avoid obsolescence? Companies that come out with new versions of their gear billed as a huge sonic breakthrough each year, are simply trying to make $. Most of the technology doesn't change that much from year to year, and in some cases the older parts sound better t... | |
| PayPal Alternative? - What's your opinion? Every bank does this now. It's called wiring money. The difference as you describe it is that ING is not charging a fee where most banks charge $20-$30 to wire money. However I suspect they are charging a fee somewhere in the fine print and you ha... | |
| Good evening,interested in moving to a DAC Skip the transport and convert your CD's to computer files. Then you can spend all $3k on the DAC like Almarg suggested, although you don't have to. It takes a few minutes to burn a new CD before listening, but your library will become so much mor... | |
| ARC Ref 3 good match with pass Xa 250.5 Those will work great together. | |
| finding a solid state amp to replace a tube amp I've found Pass and Rowland to possess "tube-like" qualities. They still sound like SS though. | |
| Does SS cost more than HS for superior sound? I think you're talking about two separate things. One is taste. You clearly have a preference for tubes as opposed to SS so of course you would feel that way. That is what I prefer as well so perhaps I am no less biased, however I think I apprecia... | |
| VAC 301 versus VAC 200 as monoblocks The 200's were built to drive an 83db electrostat. VAC will tell you two 200's is a better solution for hard to drive speakers than one 300.1. | |
| Dynaudio Confidence 5 vs Harbeth I've heard Harbeths and C-2's and C-4's but not C-5's. However I'm willing to wager all the Dynaudios are pretty different sounding from Harbeth. I really think you should attempt to hear the Harbeths before committing. And yes your amps are compl... | |
| VTL 7.5 Owners I'm interested in a 7.5 V1 or V2. I'm curious what you have compared yours to and any comments you could share with me. | |
| Advise please - Pre and SS AMP for Dynaudio C4's I would personally put tubes on them. Something beefy though. I used two Vac Phi 200's on my electrostats that are 83 db abd 4 ohms. They drove them perfectly which means yours would be a snap. Something not even most SS amps would do. However I r... | |
| Atma Sphere deserves praise 04-24-10: Pubul57Mmike84, I do see what you are saying about ARC, and it can be quite annoying to own a MKii when a MKiii comes out, but when they can, they have provided an upgrade option (not always possible), but in spite of that, they do make ... | |
| Atma Sphere deserves praise Khrys-I agree except you need to stress the fact the MM1 wasn't worth it in the first place so what's the point in switching to MM2? $20,000 cables what a bunch of silliness.AR is another one that doesn't seem too concerned about it's existing cus... |
