| Focal Utopia 3 Scala speakers A few months ago I was very surprised to see a fellow audiogoner who moved from Focal Utopia Scala to a pair Elac speaker (costing about half the price of the Scalas) which in his opinion were better than the Scalas. Mike60 was also involved in th... | |
| Where do you go after a Dynaudio C1 ? Jkuc, I am rather surprised that we are the only ones who have noticed this so far. I made a similar comment above (about Pani's speaker marathon) but it was pretty much ignored.Jp1208, I am sorry to hear you had such a bad experience with Vapor A... | |
| Accuphase preamps Dealer make huge profits when selling Accuphase components. In the Netherlands and Belgium the retail prices are two times higher than in Japan. What I usually do is buy demo models form a reputable dealer but only after the next generation was an... | |
| Where do you go after a Dynaudio C1 ? I see that so far nobody has mentioned Vivid Audio. Visually they can be a tough pill to swallow (IMO) but apparently they sound very very good. Anybody compared the Vivid Audio V1.5 or B1 with Focal Diablo and/or Raidho C1.1? Pani, 70 speakers in... | |
| Accuphase preamps Hi Dave,Electronics like A-65 and C-2410 deserve much better speakers than Focal Electra. There is really nothing wrong with these speakers, but they are not in the same class with the electronics you consider. If you are set on Focal speakers (an... | |
| Accuphase preamps Dave, you misunderstood my post. In my previous post I have "compared": 1) the "cheap" models, i.e. A-46 vs. P-4100 (among themselves), and 2) the expensive models, i.e. A-65 vs. P-7100 vs. P-6100 (again among themselves). I did not say anything a... | |
| Accuphase preamps Hi Dave,Whether you should buy the class A models or the class AB ones it depends entirely on your future speakers and your listening habits, i.e. on the amount of power you need.The A-45 and A-46 class A models sound indeed better than P-4100. Bo... | |
| Accuphase preamps Hi Dave,If you check the "Product Museum" section of the Accuphase official site (under the Product section) you will see that Accuphase is releasing new models every 4 years (sometimes 5 years in the case of the top of the line models). For examp... | |
| Accuphase preamps Hi Dave,Regarding the C-2410 preamp, you should do some research before buying it as my feeling is that it will be discontinue somewhere this year. You should be able to get a significant discount for the C-2410 once the C-2420 will be introduced.... | |
| Accuphase preamps Hi Dave,I am not really able to fully answer your questions, but here is my experience with the two brands:About 3 years ago I tried for two weeks in my system (back then a pair of Dali Helicons + a Rel Stentor 3) the BP25 pre with DAC and the 4BS... | |
| Mcintosh integrated amp MA6600 for B&W 803D Hi Papalam,B&W and Accuphase pair very well. My first choice would be one of the following Accuphase integrated: E-408, E-450, E-460 integrated. The E-350 and E-360 will also do just fine. All these models are better than the MA 6600 integrate... | |
| B&W 804 diamond or previous 803D? Hi Papalam,I have just reread this thread and realized that I made an error, i.e. instead of 804 diamond I read 803 diamond. My previous post was about 803 diamond vs. 803 D. Sorry for the lengthy and useless "advise". :)Buying the 803 D was a goo... | |
| Looking for the BASS Hi Atmasphere,While I am all pro simplicity, I believe there is never a clear cut. Full range speakers are always large and consequently require large rooms. Furthermore, the speakers' position in a room that yields the best midrange response almo... | |
| B&W 804 diamond or previous 803D? Hi Papalam,I am not sure whether the quoted price difference is for a single speaker or for a pair of speakers. But either way, the amount does not sound right to me. In the following, I will assume the difference is for a pair of speakers. In the... | |
| Looking for the BASS Hey Atmasphere, Thanks for coming to my aid. Of course, this was my plan all along, i.e. to impress a famous designer by talking about the lowest notes. :) Leaving jokes aside, what are your opinions regarding subwoofers and subwoofer placement?Be... |
