| "Best" bookshelf/monitor for low-power amp? 02-13-12: GoldprintaudioI would suggest adding Joseph Audio Pulsars to your list also. They are easily some of the best bookshelves I've ever heard and fall into your specs perfectly. And yes, I am a Joseph dealer.Goldprintaudio,I have had the opp... | |
| My Final Amplifier Purchase - What Would You Buy? I'm definitely not intending to go backwards, in terms of sound quality, from my present Atma-Sphere with this purchase. I certainly would be happy spending much less than my $4k limit, but it would have to be for an amplifier that did not represe... | |
| My Final Amplifier Purchase - What Would You Buy? Charlie, thanks for your thoughts. I did communicate, via e-mail, with Alan previously, and his advice was that he voices the Silverlines with Pass amplification. As I noted earlier, I am a big fan of Nelson, and would be happy to go in that direc... | |
| My Final Amplifier Purchase - What Would You Buy? "Hello Nightfall, I don't think I recommended a particular speaker, but if I did I would expect that Audiokinesis would have been on the short list. Duke is an outstanding designer and also easy to deal with."Ralph, I've had dealing with Duke prev... | |
| My Final Amplifier Purchase - What Would You Buy? 02-10-12: DoverNightfall,The speaker Ralph mentioned was the High Emotion Audio Bella Twin speakers.Ralph, I believe you said that the S-30 would produce 45wpc with these? | |
| My Final Amplifier Purchase - What Would You Buy? 02-10-12: DoverNightfall,"The speaker Ralph mentioned was the High Emotion Audio Bella Twin speakers"Thank you! That was it, I knew I wasn't dreaming it happened. | |
| My Final Amplifier Purchase - What Would You Buy? New Rogue AmpGoldprintaudio,I did see those amps were shown at CES and was interested in hearing what they were capable of. I greatly respect Rogue, as an American manufacturer, and especially the value they offer. I've found the character of the ... | |
| My Final Amplifier Purchase - What Would You Buy? Missing posts??? Ralph recommended some higher sensitivity speakers to me in a post he made in this thread on Tuesday, which I read that night. Last night, the Audiogon forums were unavailable when I checked back. Now, both that post, and at least... | |
| My Final Amplifier Purchase - What Would You Buy? Again, thanks to everyone for the continuing comments and recommendations. I appreciate all of the advice and perspectives being offered. Several people have mentioned the possibility of changing speakers and thats a fair question. I do really lov... | |
| My Final Amplifier Purchase - What Would You Buy? John,I greatly appreciate your thoughts on the matter. I've come very close to jumping on the Pass bandwagon, because I greatly admire what Nelson has done. I've especially targeted the 30.5's because they have tested out at 140wpc A/B. However, I... | |
| My Final Amplifier Purchase - What Would You Buy? Tony,Thanks very much for your thoughts. I've done some research and it does not seem likely that any Spectral amps could be had within my budget. I have heard they are tremendous, though, but the requirements for very expensive MIT cables, by its... | |
| My Final Amplifier Purchase - What Would You Buy? Oops, I forget to mention a Plinius SA-102 as an obvious contender. | |
| Best 80-100 w Amplifier Available Under $4k Used? 01-23-12: Swampwalker"Why did you skip over the M-60s when you dismissed the MA-1s?"Unfortunately, in my small listening room the M60's (which essentially double the heat output of the S-30) would literally create a sauna. I've even had this discu... | |
| Need Advice On A Network Music Player "Do you have a DAC? If not, then the NA 7004 may be a more logical purchase than the sbt"I do own an excellent DAC, the Bryston BDA-1. My original thoughts, if I went with the Marantz NA7004, was to bypass its internal DAC and use the digital out ... | |
| Need Advice On A Network Music Player "Given this statement, I certainly would not invest at the Bryston level until you're sure. The Touch is a great, inexpensive, way to get your feet wet here and, even if you get the Bryston (or other device) later, you can always use the Touch in ... |
