| ATC SCM150 (or JBL Synthesis) (or JBL vintage) (or new Klipsch Jubilee) I appreciate ATC, but with my Synthesis ownership experience I would not currently be interested in an even more studio monitor type sound. ATC is more coherent than the JBLs, and imo represents dynamics at least as well. What I do not enjoy is th... | |
| Good 2 channel integrated amplifier for 702 s2 under 3k? I have a Hegel H160 with a pair of 707s. There is no offensive HF distortion, which B&Ws will all too easily broadcast with poor cabling and electronics. I also tried it with my JBLs with same results. It is nice sounding amp | |
| Selling my hubby's estate--B&W 805 D3: Speakers or Loudspeakers?? B&W (Bowers & Wilkins) 805 D3 Diamond Series Speakers with original stands (Pair)" Hi. This is a good title. Do not need to state "(Pair)" or "Speakers" , though. Buyers know what they are. Best of luck. If they are B&W factory stands,... | |
| Bookshelf speakers can work! Don’t limit yourself with dogma!That is a great point. On-paper issues shouldn’t stop the pursuit of an enjoyable system. It’s not that hard. | |
| Speakers for Computer There are models with a DAC and amplifier built in to the speakers and a large variety of inputs including wireless, ethernet USB, coax, toslink. Here are a couple examples, not that I have a personal opinion about them: https://audioengineusa.com... | |
| Opinions wanted: 10-30K Speakers for Jazz/Folk There are a lot. You don’t know me, but I may like these the most for lighter music:Soundlabs are amazingly transparent; easy and relaxing. My favorite sounding speaker and certainly the best ESL. No speaker is perfect. There is that hard "thawp" ... | |
| Tube Amp in Snowpiercer @j-wall totally agree. He is a little inept, but I sympathize with him hiding out in his stereo. | |
| Tube Amp in Snowpiercer The dad character in HBO's "Sharp Objects" dressed up like a preppy and listened to his Simaudio gear most of the season. Makes me want to buy their DACs. | |
| Wanting to try a tube amp. The VAC IQ series has balanced inputs, auto-bias as well as strong circuit protection. | |
| Something amazing - what would you buy I like Audio Concepts in Dallas. They are very professional in my long experience with them, although I do not do home theater. Lone Star Audio Fest is scheduled for June. It is for stereo but a number of retailers attend that carry quality produc... | |
| Need advice on used Wilson Audio speakers Wilson is strong used-market brand, and the Sabrina is a charming, very enjoyable model. I have heard them a few times with audio research amplifiers. Wilsons are often paired with Boulder, Doshi and D'Agostino, at least in my area. Easy to find a... | |
| Who else is using old cables/interconnects, and is happy? Dominus Rev B, which are probably 20 years old. The worst ergonomically but peerless compared to my other cables. | |
| Origin Live company support I had no problems at all sending my tonearm back for internal rewire. | |
| Mark Levinson Amps startup & shutdown operation. Specifically 532H but really any ML amp I read about your disappointing experience. I also bought mine "used" but through upscale audio. It was really new old stock. Your amp's standby does not work properly. "Standbys" are ubiquitous and do not normally have functional issues. That is ... | |
| Mark Levinson Amps startup & shutdown operation. Specifically 532H but really any ML amp There is a moderately loud switching noise turning my 532h on from standby. This is avoided by turning on my preamp last. I tried your scenario; after the noise music plays normally, uninterrupted. Music totally stops after back on standby. |
