| Pair of Rel S510’s or Carbon Special’s? @onhwy61 , you are right, I am a bit worried about positioning. But I’m hoping the big open room makes the one available position okay. There are no room corners to consider with my open concept house. But there is an island on the left and ano... | |
| Opportunity to buy Demo Magico M2? To close off this thread, my used 802 D2’s arrived, stunningly in actual mint condition. You can’t actually tell that they used. However, one tweeter failed to make a sound. The store luckily had a spare one (brand new!) and rushed it out to me. I... | |
| Pair of Rel S510’s or Carbon Special’s? I should say up front, probably all I need is to activate the EQ in Roon and boost the lower frequencies a couple of decibels.. But due to my irrational audiophile sensibilities I can’t even bring myself to try turning it on! Don’t want any app me... | |
| Pair of Rel S510’s or Carbon Special’s? Good to know, thanks. Have you heard the Carbon Specials in comparison with your S510’s? Based on their specs I’m sure the Carbon Specials can go deeper and louder, with greater speed, but in my case I only plan to have the subs add very minimal e... | |
| What Power Cords for Rel S510 Subs? I pretty much expect the trolls to emerge whenever posting about cables, lol!!! Trolls are part of the fun. But I also think there are some who legitimately can’t wrap their heads around how better cables can help. These folks simply are new to th... | |
| What Power Cords for Rel S510 Subs? @vonhelmholtz I will give Dreams and Daggers a listen. Thanks for the tip! I don’t doubt that bass definition and speed can help with subs. @simonmoon , I know exactly what you mean about power cords impacting ambience, soundstage depth etc. T... | |
| What Power Cords for Rel S510 Subs? @jl1ny , I don’t have my Rel’s yet, I’m researching first. I was planning to go with the Rel Baseline Blue Speakon cable, one for each sub. | |
| What Power Cords for Rel S510 Subs? @andrewkelley , would you share the details of how you set up your system with the common ground block? Very interested in how this might help and if it’s worth doing. For what it’s worth I have no issues with ground loops at this point, all my ... | |
| What Power Cords for Rel S510 Subs? @vonhelmholtz nice system. I like Wilson speakers a lot. i am not looking for bone rattling bass. Just a bit of added support for my B&W 802's, in my large room with high ceilings. I think how you described the setup of your Rel's is exact... | |
| What Power Cords for Rel S510 Subs? @vonhelmholtz , your cords are comparable grade to my system’s cords so I am very interested in your results. I see your subs don’t get the best cords, but did you TRY your subs with a Sigma NR to see if there is an improvement over the venom? ... | |
| What Power Cords for Rel S510 Subs? @ryder my Audioquest Dragon power cord powering my amp costed me more than my recent purchase of my B&W 802 D2 speakers, purchased used but in mint condition. I specifically chose these after finding I wasn’t a fan of any new speakers in my ar... | |
| Basic question about power/watts I don’t have any experience with electrostatics, but I was meh about my old B&W 803 D2 speakers when paired with pretty much any popular amp from McIntosh, Moon, Bryston, etc. Sound on occasion was harsh in the midrange. Some tracks I couldn’t... | |
| B&W 802 D2 Capacitors Worth Upgrading? Yes, thanks @erik_squires and all for all the purely informative feedback. Despite the inevitable few who sour the tone, I’ve always found Audiogon to be a place to exchange information and experiences. While I have great relationships with sales ... | |
| B&W 802 D2 Capacitors Worth Upgrading? @erik_squires , thanks for confirming! Interesting stuff for sure. | |
| B&W 802 D2 Capacitors Worth Upgrading? @erik_squires , thanks for the explanation. The 802 D2's have two crossover boards - one for LF and one for HF/MF. The HF/MF board has 3 caps, and the LF board has 2 caps. All caps are VERY large. Can't read the values for all caps, but I can ... |
