| Dunlavy SCIVA'S... Mine sound bland To the OP. You mention you have a Crown Studio Reference. I would connect that amp to the speakers. It is also my opinion that the felt material used on the front baffles, to eliminate diffraction, sucks up some of the sound escaping into the room... | |
| klipsch speakers,be honest As I have said many times on other threads, Klipsch, the Heritage line designed by PWK himself, were made with a price point, and, were made for tubes initially. When early ss came about, many folks were pairing the early Klipsch with monster ss a... | |
| full-scale orchestral music—best test of speakers’ potential? keithtexas, is that your room ? Awesome. I would, without question, love to own that system. Movie soundtracks are generally excellent demo material. I like Roger Waters's " Amused to Death ". There is a bomb simulation somewhere during the middle... | |
| NuForce STA 200 An amazing little amp, for sure. Enjoy ! MrD. | |
| Need Preamp and Amp to Match Vandersteen 3A Signature Speakers If these are still available from Audio Advisor, at $499. each, you can get a pair of Nuforce STA 200 amps and vertically bi amp your Vandersteens ( you can also biamp horizontally, but I prefer vertical, which is one amp per speaker ). If your so... | |
| Recommended Amps and preamps for Polk RTI A7s HELP!!! daoki, the POA 2800, as a power amp, would get it’s signal from the pre outs of your receiver, using a pair of single ended ( rca to rca ) cables. The optical connection you speak of ( and all of your sources ) are connected to the receiver. Your ... | |
| Horns: Why don't they image well? Kosst, To each his own. I am not sure you wrote want you really wanted to say. In your latest description above, you gave Kudos to what you heard. Besides, I am not trying to dismiss anything you say, nor any opinion you have. Early on when we fir... | |
| Horns: Why don't they image well? 120 db spl ? Are you kidding me. You think this is why I like horns. Again, clueless. I compare systems to live, unamplified music. The further you are from the musicians, the less specific the image is of the location of the performers. 50 plus y... | |
| Amp repair/refurbish in NYC When I lived in NY I used ANALOGIQUE. Keep in mind that the repair / overhaul can cost more than what your Nad would sell for today on the used market. Call them to get an estimate. They are listed. Good luck. Enjoy ! MrD | |
| Horns: Why don't they image well? kosst, I implore you, as well, to listen to that Miles recording, through your F5 / Focal 936 system. If you do not hear compression, then I question your hearing ability, or your audio knowledge of what compression is. I cannot say it any other w... | |
| Horns: Why don't they image well? George, you can't be serious ? You truly believe that an ESL does not change / exaggerate the image size, and that it is the only design that can show the head movement of Miles. Contrary to what you believe, you are mistaken. However, to each his... | |
| Recommended Amps and preamps for Polk RTI A7s HELP!!! roberjerman, neither would fuses or power cords, right ? | |
| Horns: Why don't they image well? Remember, George is just a man, with just an opinion. I respect his judgement, as I respect his knowledge. We all hear differently, and, at least us old timers, want certain attributes and specifics in our systems. I was attracted to horns, not be... | |
| Recommended Amps and preamps for Polk RTI A7s HELP!!! Your Denon consumes 5 amps from the wall, at full volume, with all channels driven. Using it strictly as a front 2 channel stereo amp, you might find the sound to be enough, for now ( it has a decent power supply ). Make sure you have all of the s... | |
| Amsued To Death - Roger Waters CD n80, + 1...….. shkonk78, I apologize, I should have stated the same as N80, as I totally agree......Enjoy ! MrD. |
