| Marten Design Coltrane vs Wilson Audio Watt/Puppy Avantgarde speakers work very well with Audio Note. A 2nd hand pair of UNOs should be within your budget. | |
| Focal Utopia 3 Scala speakers Dave, it seems to me you like having bass knobs (on your speaker, on your pre-amp). Maybe you should change your moniker to bass_knob. I hope you do not take this the wrong way. I am just joking. :)Mike60, thanks for the suggestion. At 12k euros S... | |
| Why has Avantgarde Quality Slipped ? I agree Elizabeth. | |
| speaker placement software If the walls of your basement are not properly treated, than chances are that a basis software kit will not be very helpful. Low waves have no problem traveling through walls and the interference pattern you get in your room is determined also by ... | |
| Why has Avantgarde Quality Slipped ? My opinion is that the dealer who sold you the speakers has screwed you, not Avantgarde. As already mentioned, if the speakers were new and were bought from an official Avantgarde dealear, they would have been fixed for free. Some years ago I have... | |
| Accuphase preamps In principle I agree with Audiozen, the A-46 should be able to drive most speakers and has enough power for most needs. I heard its predecessor, i.e. A-45 (which has a smaller power supply), driving the B&W 800 and 802 diamonds in a very large... | |
| Accuphase preamps Hi Audiozen,I know very well what you mean. I am a very found of Accuphase myself. Maybe you remember, that at some point it was only the two of us against an army of Mcintosh zealots. I made a mistake back then, and corrected your physical interp... | |
| B&W 805D2 or Magico Q1? Very cool, it seems that the three of us, i.e. me, Usermanual and Eelii08, are online lurking on audiogon. While this thread has run its course, and thus it is less important that we are off topic, it might be better to continue this discussion on... | |
| bass suggestions 12 x 16 room.... Phasecorrect , there is never a straight answer. No two rooms are the same. Since bass waves can easily travel through walls, some of the interference patterns in your audio room may result due to waves reflected by walls of the neighboring rooms.... | |
| Accuphase preamps Hi Audiozen,Indeed there isn't much of a competition between Bryston and Accuphase. However, Accuphase components cost significantly more than Bryston ones, e.g. the 28 Bsst2 (Bryston top of the line) costs as much as the A-46 (Accuphase midrange ... | |
| Accuphase preamps Hi Dhali777, I've read similar comments before. However, I have forgotten which method was degrading the sound. Dave this means that my recommendation earlier, i.e. to use two A-45 or A-46 amps, is not a good one if you will buy speakers with only... | |
| B&W 805D2 or Magico Q1? Usermanual, I have never heard TAD systems sounding bad (unlike other brands/systems stratospherically priced). In fact, whenever I heard TAD system they where always the best in the show (IMO of course). However, we all hear differently and have ... | |
| B&W 805D2 or Magico Q1? I agree 100% with Eelii08, the B&W 800 diamond are a very good value indeed. Firstly, their price is more than reasonable. For example, in Belgium and The Netherlands their retail price is 22k euros per pair, but because most hi-fi shops here ... | |
| Alternatives to Musical Fidelity M3 Nuvista My experience is that MF pairs very well with Dynaudio (out-of-the-box). Also, like many here, I never heard a MF amp sounding bright. While changing cable might help, you should realize that M3 is not a young amp anymore. Re-cap-ing it might have... | |
| Accuphase preamps Hi Dave, Of course, I am not 100% sure the C-2410 will be replaced soon. My prediction is based on the past habits of the company. I will do some more research about the C-2410, and also try to do a direct comparison between C-2410 and C-2810 as I... |
