| Opinions on best integrated under 10k? " So not sure where I will end up yet, maybe I will just end buying a MA7900 or ML585 and be done with it all. "Yeah, you're about where I am in thinking about this whole thing. There is also the new(ish) Anthem STR integrated, which has DAC and... | |
| How to match preamp and power amp? The pre-amp specs I'm researching indicates: XLR Maximum output level>22VRMS.The power amp is a Krell FPB 400cx. | |
| How to match preamp and power amp? So, my power amp specs indicate an input impedance of 100 kOhms, and an input sensitivity of 2.71 Vrms. The amp has only XLR inputs on it. Would I be correct to assume that most SS pre-amps would work well? The pre-amp I'm researching indicate... | |
| LOUNDSPEAKER FOR $10,000.00 PER PAIR Wow, that is such a hotly contested price point! Your list so far is great. I’d add:New Magico A3, Used Sonus Faber Olympical III(actually available around $7K, and great for your symphony sound stage requirement),Legacy Audio Focus SE, Used Rockp... | |
| Sellers adding for PayPal use is plainly BS I just don't pay any attention to the whole "PayPal, add 3%" thing. If want to buy an item, I'll just let the seller know the total amount I'll pay. The seller can take it or decline to sell. | |
| Opinions on best integrated under 10k? I'm still wanting a Mark Levinson 585 integrated, but I wish it had XLR outputs. It only has rca outs. The reason is that, if I got it, I would want to compare the 585 alone to the 585 outputs going into my Krell class A power amp and see what t... | |
| Integrated amp + dac for Focal I'd certainly want to try a Mark Levinson 585 integrated amp with the 948s. At AXPONA, one of the display rooms paired a ML 585 with the new Revel F228be tower speakers. That was some gorgeous sound! | |
| Joseph Audio dealers Well, to be fair, if you refer back in this thread, you'll see that both I and wideload did receive prompt email replies from Jeff Joseph. That said, I do wish there was a link for dealers on the JA web site. | |
| Joseph Audio dealers Yes, it seems JA needs to up their game as to their web site. After AXPONA, I checked their web site, but it's pretty sparse and no information about dealers. And I did get a prompt reply to an email asking if they sell direct(I asked that becau... | |
| Suggestions for Full Range Speakers up to 10K He may have meant the Signature SE, which are $7K and worth it. | |
| Suggestions for Full Range Speakers up to 10K Legacy Focus SE are not $7K msrp, they are $10K+. | |
| MA9000 VS MA8900 @ mavvrikBTW, a few months ago, I started a thread on integrated amps, including the 8900. I thought there were some great replies and interesting information posted. In case you are interested:https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/so-many-inte... | |
| MA9000 VS MA8900 I was pretty sure I wanted a 8900. So, I went to a dealer and while I didn’t get to hear the 8900, the dealer played a MAC6700(200 wpc), which he indicated should sound much the same, into Wilson speakers . My impression was that it had all kinds ... | |
| Best of the best Integrated amps in 2018 Yeah, I've got my eye on the ML 585. It sounded incredible at AXPONA with the new Revel 228Be speakers. They do have a new one, the 585.5, which has built in phono stage, but it carries a $4,000 price premium over the 585! | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT or Wilson Sabrina I assume you mean Eva Cassidy. Heck, I cry every time I hear her music and then remember what happened to her. |
