Amp Pairing for Aerial Acoustics 6Ts. So what about common brand units like the NAD 388? The specs say 150 watts into 8 ohms AND 4 ohms. Why is that? Is that a problem?Should I avoid class D?What about units like the Arcam SA30 or even the SA20? And what the heck is a class G amp?Adju... | |
Amp Pairing for Aerial Acoustics 6Ts. At this point I would also expand my query to a normal sized integrated. It will go in a corner and be largely out of sight. As long as it isn’t huge and just butt ugly it should be fine.So open to recommendations in that regard as well. That may ... | |
Amp Pairing for Aerial Acoustics 6Ts. I’ve been listening to these speakers with the good amp and pre-amp all day today. They just sound so good that I’ve come to the conclusion that I am going to have to get something proper to drive them with. I may have to wait a while, save my mon... | |
Amp Pairing for Aerial Acoustics 6Ts. Maybe a mini breakthrough. I have the whole system (most of which I'm trying to sell for a family member) hooked up in the living room in a corner. Sonos into Classe' via optical into Bryston. I put on Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong via Sonos... | |
Whats playing on your system today? How about a little info when we post stuff that is fairly obscure? Might help folks find new stuff. Just a thought. | |
What are you streaming tonight? Marcus King - El Dorado.He's a local fellow. Greenville, SC. Good bluesy stuff. | |
Another weird Sonos question. This is what I tried: Sonos Connect via optical into Classe' Sigma SSP into the Bryston.The upper midrange sounds better. Overall less thick, less muddy. More precise. Bass a little tighter. So you guys are right, bypassing the Connect's DAC does ... | |
Amp Pairing for Aerial Acoustics 6Ts. @djones51, that’s the way I’m leaning. The speakers are there. I want to keep them. I want a small, nearly invisible, elegant, simple integrated that integrates with Sonos and that does the speakers justice for under a $1000. Yes, I’m aware the wh... | |
Amp Pairing for Aerial Acoustics 6Ts. That's a problem because the whole reason the 6Ts are in the living room was that they replaced a pair of Sonos speakers and I'm pretty much wedded to the Sonos system. And, to be honest, pretty happy with it for its intended purpose.I wonder if t... | |
Amp Pairing for Aerial Acoustics 6Ts. It is my understanding that with a Sonos Connect if you bypass its DAC then Sonos itself has no impact on the source material which in my case is Amazon Music.Also, I've got Sonos speakers throughout the house for casual listening so it would not ... | |
What does Sonos Connect 'do' to a recording? It is my understanding that the Connect came out in two generations and the only way to tell was by serial number or the mute button.Sonos lists the Connect Gen1 as not compatible with S2 and the Connect Gen2 as compatible.The one I have is defini... | |
Amp Pairing for Aerial Acoustics 6Ts. @cheeg, no objection to the looks of any of these. Its mostly just a cost issue.I will look into some of the others mentioned. | |
Amp Pairing for Aerial Acoustics 6Ts. @sammeyers1, I'll keep that one in mind too. Wish there was something like that without the cost of the phono pre and other things which I would not use. I've got plenty of time and in truth, if this Bryston I've got does not sell for a reasonable... | |
So whats your favorite music themed movie? I love the Blues Brothers. All of it. Belushi was a genius. And the music of course.But I wonder if the ’documentary’ aspects of the movie are under appreciated. In other words, Cab Calloway, Aretha, James Brown, Ray Charles, John Lee Hooker. Thes... | |
Another weird Sonos question. I don't always trust my ears. So I guess another way to ask this question is would a pre-amp between the Sonos and the Bryston bring anything to the table in regard to SQ assuming the pre-amp did not have its own DAC? |
