| How does a tube amp "see" a REL sub? That equasion is accurate for simple resistive loads. But a speaker's impedance varies with frequency. | |
| New Theta Amp: Enterprise I've listened to them at a dealer in the Dallas area, but couldn't really give you an opinion on them since I wasn't familiar with how all the other hardware in the system affected the sound.Not that it really matters, but I really like the form f... | |
| Which Sub Woofer is good for my 2 channel system Go with a REL Strata III. Even better, go with 2 REL Strata IIIs. | |
| Solid state design options... The reason I ask is because some have very stong feelings on this subject. For example, Richard Hardesty (Audio Perfectionist Journal) consistantly claims that the best sounding amps that he has heard are fully-balanced in design w/ no global feed... | |
| B&W compatibility N802's and HTM-2? The only issue I have had with my HTM-2 is that it took what seemed like *forever* to break in. I have the HTM-2 mated with (4) N805s and due to the lack of use, it took over 3 years to break in the center channel and sound anythig like the R/L N8... | |
| Reasonably priced, well matched speaker cables I have a *very* similar system with *very* similar requirements, and I chose the Audioquest GR-8 cables. For the money, you can't beat them. | |
| Good cables for my rear speakers Check out the AudioQuest GR-8 cable:http://www.audioquestcables.com/A 50-foot pair will cost you about $260.00. Not a bad deal. | |
| Paradigm 100 v.3 – B&W 804 dilemma… please help For the same money (USD), I personally preferred the sound of the B&W Nautilus 805 + a REL Strata III sub over the Nautilus 804.B&W N804 ($3500 USD) = $3500B&W N805 ($2000 USD) + REL Strata III ($1500 USD) = $3500FWIW, I drive (4) N805... | |
| Suggestions on $1k used preamp w/ phono You could check out the Odyssey Tempest -Odyssey AudioThis package fits your requirements perfectly (and it's new, too). | |
| 2-Way Floorstander, $1500 In that price range, I'd grab a new pair of Vandersteen 2Ce Sigs. SD is right that you could hunt for a pair of 3As, but that's always a crapshoot. | |
| Clayton P2000 Pre-Amp No, I haven't contacted the manufacturer directly - I thought I'd "take it to the street" first.The only link I could find (other than the Clayton site) was CES 2001 - Post-Show Coverage"Clayton Audio's Spartan-looking P2000 preamp ($2800) was sho... | |
| Nautilus 805 setup question Judit,Thanks for the reply (9 months late). I kinda forgot about this thread. | |
| New system coming together Stands/Sub for 805s? A 10% discount is pretty common (as long as you a pleasant to deal with). Personally, as long as I can get a discount to cover the sales tax, I claim victory. If you are willing to pay cash, you may do even better. Remember, salesmen have to make ... | |
| Do you lose enhancements if using TiVo? The picture you get out of a TiVo is dramatically decreased in quality. Any program you watch through the TiVo (including live TV) is compressed, recorded to the hard drive, decompressed, and then displayed. This is how they allow such features as... | |
| Budget musical sub: sealed or vented design.... REL Strata III...if that's no enough bass for you, buy two of them and run them as a stereo pair. |
