| B&W 803D - Best amplifiers to drive them While I agree that McIntosh, Musical Fidelity and Pass Labs are good choices, like Saackesc, I recommend Accuphase amps for B&W speakers from the 800 series. Accuphase is IMO a significant step up from the brands mentioned above, but it is als... | |
| Room size & choosing speakers Mksr, the Duettes are indeed much better than the 805Ds. Also, as Onhw61 has mentioned, for music you would not need a sub in your room with them. Though, I do not know how much bass they put out when they play music at lower volumes (when cracked... | |
| small room big sound The Dali Ikon 6 do not have slow bass, which tells me that probably you have placed them too close to the room boundaries (walls or corners). If you can try them again try to move them farther from the wall and/or use foam plagues into their ports... | |
| Room size & choosing speakers Mksr, given the dimensions of your room and the fact that your room is a bit square-ish, it is best to go with monitor speakers that do not have a lot of bass (e.g. B&W 805D, Focal Electra or Utopia) and complement these monitors with a good s... | |
| Preamp Noise with High-Efficiency Speakers they do not all sound like straight wire with gain (uncoloured) otherwise they would all sound the same and there would have been no reason for you to buy hundreds Pretty much any component in one's rig has a sound of its own, i.e. is "colored". ... | |
| Preamp Noise with High-Efficiency Speakers just read this quote from Nelson Pass, I think we could all aggree that we all here with our combind wisdom pale into insignificance compared to him.Given the fact that Ralph from Atmasphere is among the contributors to this thread I certainly do ... | |
| Differences between Accuphase C-2820 and C-3800? Dave, it is hard to say which choice will yield the best result. Since you buy them form a dealer, can't you do a test?If he is not willing to come over with the units, maybe you can take your speaker to his show room. Nonetheless, my advice will ... | |
| Raidho D1 audition Excuse my ignorance guys, but who is this JV? | |
| Raidho D1 audition Razmika, I assume that in your last post you were refereeing to me, and by mistake you typed "Nep" instead of "Nvp". I certainly do not want to argue with anybody here. On the contrary, I am trying to have a civilized dialog. I certainly did not a... | |
| Differences between Accuphase C-2820 and C-3800? Hi Dave, too bad you are not living close to Amsterdam. I'll be happy to demonstrate the A-65 vs. A-45 amps for you. :) Hi Bvdiman. Thanks for your answer. I am thinking quite seriously to buy a 801/800 but I will need to sell my A-45 and DP-600 f... | |
| Raidho D1 audition Hi Kiwi, your answer is fair. I've read your blog twice, i.e. the discussions about Raidho. Also, if I remeber correctly I have actually advised Lapierre who pm me to contact you about Raidho. I think I am not the only one here who would have pref... | |
| Raidho D1/C1.1 vs Dynaudio C1 vs Magico Q1 Raindog031, sorry for the late reply. In my first post in this thread I have sounded a bit like I was picking on you. That was certainly not my intention. Since this post is not about Avantgarde speakers and/or rock and metal music I will answer y... | |
| Raidho D1 audition Michaelkingdom, thanks for sharing your experience with Magico S1 and Raidho D1 speakers. Though, I fear this thread has run its course for quite some time now. Razmika and Kiwi, the reason I usually post on audiogon is because I like to share my ... | |
| Differences between Accuphase C-2820 and C-3800? I for one do not buy the "custom made" hype. IMO it is like "limited edition", which in my book means "limited to the number we can sell". :) | |
| Differences between Accuphase C-2820 and C-3800? Dave, what I meant to say is that because the C-2420 & A-46 combo is a bit more expensive than a A-65 one might want to consider the second alternative if he/she has a single source, i.e. a cd player with a good volume control. Of course, the ... |
