| HELP B&W 802D or Revel Ultima Salon2 Quick response. I've had both sets of speakers in my home for a few months so I could choose between the two. IMO and in my listening space the Revels Salon 2's are the best speaker. I've always had a soft spot for the B&W's, but in an A/B com... | |
| How Much Power: Revel Salon 2's Thanks for the suggestions. FPB is a better option. I had thought that an alternative might be to get another Bryston and bi-amp (so I don't go through the trouble of selling the current amp). I'm just not sure of the real benefit of bi-amping vs ... | |
| How Much Power: Revel Salon 2's Guess I should re-phrase the question since I've priced the Krell. Other suggestions for budget power. 11,000 additional dollars is out of the budget in the near term. | |
| Revel Ultima Salon 2's vs B&W 802d's PS I would think the power is fine. Curious as to what other factors to consider | |
| Revel Ultima Salon 2's vs B&W 802d's Thanks for the feedback, but I still have a question(s) unanswered. I may have to start a new thread, perhaps in the amp section. The question is whether the CJ or Bryston is better with one or the other of the sets of speakers.Related to that is ... | |
| Revel Ultima Salon 2's vs B&W 802d's So which amps have you tried and which do you suggest? I currently have a couple on hand: CJ 2500A and Bryston 4bSST2 - which would be better? Either one bad for the 802ds? What's the central issue(s) for good vs bad amp for the 802's? | |
| Revel Ultima Salon 2's vs B&W 802d's Good suggestions - thanks. I've listened to several of these since you made 'em. While not all are my cup 'o tea I like several of them and appreciate the listening suggestions (the only one I have on CD is Clapton). For me it's helpful to be list... | |
| Revel Ultima Salon 2's vs B&W 802d's PS Sorry for all the typos in the previous post. I just got back and was typing for all I was worth - apparently I'm not worth much. I have no idea why the word "He" appears in my third sentence or why I wrote "posts" instead of "post" in the last... | |
| Revel Ultima Salon 2's vs B&W 802d's Sorry about my delay in response, Ive been without internet access (in the wilderness) and havent been able to respond. To Mribob:Point taken on the amps thats why I was asking for opinion on amplification. Part of my question was, given the ... | |
| Revel Ultima Salon 2's vs B&W 802d's OK I've still got to get "extended" time, but the other day I got a spare hour to listen. Got to say that IMO the Revels really kill the 802's. The 802's are great speakers but in an A/B test the 802's sound like the Revels just with a couple of s... | |
| Revel Ultima Salon 2's vs B&W 802d's I'll update you guys in a bit.My problem is that I haven't had time for extended listening to both in an A/B test (I had one night and need a couple of others now that I know what types of music I want to compare). The only way I can make this hap... | |
| Revel Ultima Salon 2's vs B&W 802d's I'd love to have other folks weigh in.Ryder, thanks for the comments. As for amps I can run either a Bryston 4b sst2 or a Conrad Johnson mf2500a. Running a CJ tube pre-amp Premier 17LS (got a CJ 18LS solid state too). Getting ready to sell some st... | |
| Advice: CD's to Hard Drive and Back Again Not the album info. I just created a folder with the album name and put the files there.BTW I've compared the WAV files from EAC and Roxio and they are the same. I guess the real advantage of EAC is that it will tell you if there is an error. | |
| Advice: CD's to Hard Drive and Back Again Tried EAC seems to work well. So now I have to re-rip the CD's I've done using Roxio to rip WAV files? Ouch.Thanks for the help and info folks.ITunes is of the Devil. ;> | |
| Advice: CD's to Hard Drive and Back Again I've found that CD's are neither indestructable nor unscratchable. Ripping them to the HD seems like a good way to prevent the problem of destructed CD's or lost ones. As far as I'm concerned making backup CD's is a pretty painless and thoughtless... |
