| Speakers that do pianos really well "Anyone have experience with Salon 2's and piano?"I do. If you feed them properly with fast, high current amplification and good sources, you will hear piano that has a sharp clean attack when the hammer strikes the string, pleasing sustain and ac... | |
| Rockport Atria? The one speaker brand I wish I'd auditioned before buying Salon 2s a couple years ago is Rockport - although from what the article says about the Salon 2 being preferable to the Atria in larger rooms it sounds like I'd have to move up to the Avior... | |
| Amp for Revel Ultima Salon 2 Sorry for double posting, the first post apparently got lost in the ozone for a while! | |
| Amp for Revel Ultima Salon 2 It sounds like your ASR provides a very similar Salon 2 listening experience to what I get using Symphonic Line Kraft 250s. That shouldn't be surprising, as both amps use large transformers and provide huge capacitance. Result? High current that c... | |
| Amp for Revel Ultima Salon 2 Your observations about using the ASR Emitter 2 Exclusive with Salon 2s mirror mine about using Symphonic Line Kraft 250s. On the surface they are entirely different designs, but what they share is huge transformers and very high capacitance. Resu... | |
| Lamm LL2.1 Deluxe "DC Offset"? I would go with option 1 and have the dealer replace the caps. That way you will have shown Lamm a good-faith effort on your part to see if that was the problem.And who knows, maybe that will fix things. If not, then it's time for either a full re... | |
| Lamm LL2.1 Deluxe "DC Offset"? "Contacting the manufacturer did not give any help, they shift it to the dealer."Whenever Lamm tries to say that you need to resolve the problem with "your dealer," remind them that THEY chose the dealer to sell their product, which makes it THEIR... | |
| Review: Plinius SA-102 power amp Excellent review supplemented with some great comments as well. Especially enjoyed Gregm's comparision of the SA-102 to Symphonic Line Kraft 250 stereo amp; his conclusions mirrored my own when comparing the Plinius SB-301 A/B amp to the Kraft 250... | |
| How much are beats headphones and the sound? +1 on what Mofimadness says - Beats are unlistenable boom and sizzle. My 30+ year old AKG K240 headphones absolutely blow them away. | |
| Need Help finding Speakers Budget 20,000 US "Take a company like TAD with unlimited resources from the parent company, Pioneer."I am the happy owner of three Pioneer Kuro plasma TV displays, which are still considered by many to be the best flat panels ever made. Pioneer lost so much money ... | |
| Has anyone bought the OPPO 105 and has an opinion "Reviews of the Ayre were middling."Oh really?http://www.soundstage.com/revequip/ayre_cx7e.htmhttp://www.stereophile.com/cdplayers/840/http://www.enjoythemusic.com/magazine/equipment/0503/ayrecx7.htmhttp://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/ayre-ac... | |
| Amp for Revel Ultima Salon 2 Here is an earlier thread on amps for Revel Salon 2s:www.forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?aamps&1344011616&openfrom&1&4#1They do like watts, up to a point: I wouldn't personally want to drive them with less than 200 watts in a room... | |
| Tube pre picking up feedback/vibration? "Sorry to say, all tubes are microphonic, at least to some degree; there simply isn't such a thing as a non-microphonic tube."True enough. But to find the most microphonic and thus problematic tube, lightly tapping each tube as Rrog suggests will ... | |
| Plinius SA250 MK IV upgrades? + SA Ref comparison? No real surprise there, Samoanbowa. I owned a Plinius SB-301 that I found superior to the ML 532H as well - much faster and more dynamic. | |
| Speakers that sound like Usher Be-20s/10s Haven't heard the Ushers you mention. But I can say that Salon 2s are far from non-dynamic, especially if you pair them with fast, high-current amplifiers that can keep up with them. Their soundstaging is also excellent and they have a large sweet... |
