| Best high current high power $5k amp for MBL 121 Thanks guys for the suggestions so far. The CAT would be to pricey for me alas, the Wolcott is an interesting idea I'll take a look at. Dob, I confess the spectron was at the top of my list - it's the one I'm leaning towards.Another amp I thought ... | |
| Japanese Voltage and Power Cord Settings? Hi guys:Thanks so much for the detailed responses. Much appreciated. | |
| MBL WITH SUB?? Klk, I've had the same thought, and will likely walk down that path in the near future. I just recevied my MBL 121 monitors and like them a lot, even without any help from subs, but it does feel like it's a natural upgrade path for me to add subs,... | |
| Opinions on MBL 121's Hi Conservi:I just received my MBL 121 speakers this week and am very happy with them. As mentioned above though, they need oodles of power, which I do not have just now. I will be upgrading amplifier shortly though. I have a key candidate in mind... | |
| I've $4k to spend on used speakers for big room Shadorne - I appreciate your thinking, and you may be right. I've just loved the MBL sound and why it wasn't on my shortlist because of my room scenario, I did get a very good unexpected deal on the pair, so it's a good way for me to sample the MB... | |
| I've $4k to spend on used speakers for big room Thanks guys. Well, I ended up pulling the trigger on the MBL 121s. I figure I can add a sub (or two) later,as the upgrade bug bites me - maybe the JL Audios 112 or 113, and maybe a crossover like Bryston 10b to take some of the strain off bass for... | |
| I've $4k to spend on used speakers for big room Thanks for all the input guys - some great ideas there. Bozsiujj - that's so interesting that you like the Acuhorns. I love the look of them, but I could never get good sound out of them, and I tried everything, and I used them with KR amps, which... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Darkmoebius, I heard that system with ESP speakers at the LA show too and it was fantastic - one of my favorite 3 rooms of the show. My other two favorites were the MBL room and the room with the Rockport Mira speakers and Gryphon electronics. | |
| I've $4k to spend on used speakers for big room Thanks for the responses so far. Actually, Thiel 7.2 have been on my mental list too. Agreed about the power though - would involve another amp investment too..The same with ATC - have been on my list. Am wondering which models though, to do the r... | |
| Rockport Ankaa and Anquila I heard the Mira at THE show in LA about two years ago. The room was one of the three best in the show for me (alongside the ESP/Wavestreatm room and the MBL room). I agree that Rockport doesn't seem to get the respect and attention deserved. At t... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I just wanted to mention another great little Supratek story. Two days ago my Syrah wasn't powering up - it just seemed dead. I emailed Mick and Kevin, and they diagnosed/suggested that my Rectifier tube in the power supply might be dead. They als... | |
| turntable skipping with footsteps Consider applying a couple of 4x4 planks upright beneath the floor (in the basement/room underneath the room with teh turntable). If these are measured correctly so that they barely fit (you have to kick them into place), they can solve a lot of t... | |
| Got a New CD Player and Now I'm Bummed You might want to try adding Stillpoints under your table. These seem to have a very strong following for providing amazing enhancement to turntable support. Another idea would be to add a Sistrum support. I recently added one uner my Teres 255. M... | |
| Áirtech MG-1 tonearm Hi Ssjadway. I have this tonearm in my system currently (you can see some photos on my virtual system page). I'm using it currently with a ZYX Universe on a Teres 255. My table is now wall-mounted. I haven't compared it against any heavy-hitter to... | |
| Transfering CDs to iTunes FLAC. Am I missing....? Hi RW:Thanks so much for the tip. That's great to know! |
