| High Sensitivity Speakers that work best with SS Unsound, no need for "with all due respect", my comment was certainly not meant as a definitive explanation. (I am in no way qualified to do that, I'm a theoretical physicist/spectroscopiest.) However, I am not saying that subsequent watts comprom... | |
| Speakers for Musical Fidelity M6i I do not have experience with the M6i integrated, however, a quick google search has revealed that its guts are very similar looking to those of the MF A5 integrated that I have owned some years ago. The MF A5 paired very well with Focal Micro Be ... | |
| High Sensitivity Speakers that work best with SS My feeling is that the less than ideal pairing between high efficient speakers and ss amps is a consequence of the fact that many high power ss amps can't do the first watt right. That is, high efficiency speakers require a very small amount of po... | |
| What are the "new" brands in amps and pre-amps Vitus Audio (founded in 1995 or so). | |
| Focal Utopia Micro BE setup help Hi Michael, it seems I misunderstood your post (sorry for the long previous post then). So, you get a good/decent stereo image, just not pin-point image. My opinion is that your speakers are toe in way too much. I too have started like you with th... | |
| Focal Scala or Diablos with subs? If I were you I would try first to integrate your Diablo with your current sub before taking a final decision. Read this post for more info about sub integration:SubWoofer Help ASAP...If however, the upgrade bug has bitten you already, then I woul... | |
| Focal Utopia Micro BE setup help Hi Michael,I had the MicroBes in my system for 3-4 years so hopefully I could help. You are perfectly right when you say that they do not give that pin-point image other speakers give, e.g. the Dynaudio C1 speakers, which are much more narrower th... | |
| Grey amplifier Imports from Japan? David, since you are living in Europe (I've read on your system page that you are living in England) it should not be that difficult to find a demo model. For example, in the Netherlands there are currently an E-350 and also an E-450 advertised by... | |
| Grey amplifier Imports from Japan? Since I do not have experience with Luxman, in the following I will be talking only about Accuphase products. There is actually a 3rd option, i.e. to buy demo models that are about to be discontinued or have been discontinued already.Firstly, the ... | |
| Jm Lab Alto Utopia what kind of amplifier ? Hi Zszwedo, I did not suggested you to pair the Altos with the E-560 integrated. You were talking about a pre/power combinations. :) The Altos deserve/need a bit more power than the E-560 can provide (an A45 or A46 power amp should be find though)... | |
| Dynaudio C1 and Pass amp Hi Kzhtoo,Congratulation for your new speakers! I have seen that you have also posted a message on "my" Focal Micro Be vs. Dyn C1 review thread. Sorry, for the late reply, I too have bought new speakers (Avantgarde UNO) and was busy setting them u... | |
| Jm Lab Alto Utopia what kind of amplifier ? Hi Zszwedo,I had very good experience with Accuphase and Musical Fidelity (MF). A MF integrated like KW-500 or KW-550 will be a very cost effective solution. However, your choices are probably endless, e.g. Graaf, Jadis, ASR, Pass Labs, YBA, Rowla... | |
| Avantgarde UNO set-up tips needed Tubes108, thanks for the very useful information. I am fully aware of what you are saying. I use Norah Jones' "Cold cold hear" song (track 3 on the album "Come away with me") when setting up speakers. First, I make a loop with my CD player and pla... | |
| Need Help - Buy Revel Studio 1s or Vivid v-1.5s? Hi Bbogan,I've heard both speakers relatively recently but in different rooms and with different electronics. So take my comparison with a grain of salt. The Revels were driven by Mark Levinson electronics, while the Vivids by Naim. The Revels had... | |
| Avantgarde UNO set-up tips needed I am happy to report that I have decided to keep the UNOs. The MicroBes and the REL are up for sell already. However, a lot has happened since my last post. Using the settings listed in the opening post (9 for crossover and 5.5 for sub level) I ha... |
