| Amp for driving revel salon 2 "Sometimes I wonder, if it's just me?"The sheer volume of classifieds on this site suggests otherwise, LOL.I do have to say that I am extremely happy with what I have now - and feel very lucky that I got there quickly and can mostly stay off the m... | |
| Need advise on amp choice "Your 3rd grade teacher is crying."So is yours, for failing to place the comma following "advice" and the period following "advise" within the quotation marks. | |
| Big, big room -- which 10-20k speakers? Just some general thoughts on each of the five speakers you've mentioned:a) Revel Salon 2s: I own these and am very familiar with them - see my virtual system for more info. Pros: soundstaging is outstanding - they disperse very well and so your s... | |
| Amp for driving revel salon 2 I personally would likely find Bryston to be a bit lean and dry with Salon 2s. Below is a link to a thread I started a few months back - there are some ideas and observations there you might find interesting. A lot of people like ML gear with the ... | |
| upscale audio is this legal? "it doesn't negate the fundamental misrepresentation regardless if was intentional or negligent"Huh? Misrepresentation is defined as intentional. | |
| what would you do? Solid response from the dealer - "And know you know the REST of the story," as Paul Harvey used to say. It seems that the purchaser did in fact receive the benefit of his bargain and that Kevin doesn't owe him squat. Going forward, I would only su... | |
| SS Amps for C4 Signature II's Hey, I just thought of another brand for you to try: Spectral. Very detailed and known for precise soundstaging too. "You all are in a better financial deal with the eventual outcome compared to me!"As a lawyer, I am professionally trained to spen... | |
| what would you do? Polk432 is right on the money. Some interesting links:Cary SA280 V-12 manual: http://www.caryaudio.com/pdfs/manuals_archive/Cad280SA_V12.pdfCary SA280 V-12i manual:http://www.caryaudio.com/pdfs/manuals_archive/Cad280SA_V12i.pdfNote that the V-12i ... | |
| SS Amps for C4 Signature II's "After that we listened to the PLINIUS SA-103. Rats, this unit sounded too warm (sound, that is but it did get physically HOT) and also not rich and detailed enough."Well there ya go - I did mention that it was a little rolled off, but I guess you... | |
| what would you do? "what would you do?"I can tell what I wouldn't do, which is to start three threads on the same subject.Beyond that, you need to provide more info as Tpreaves suggests. How is this the wrong amp? Is it simply a matter of the wrong serial number bei... | |
| SS Amps for C4 Signature II's "I've switched around preamps and the tube units I've tried left me wanting...for detail and microdynamics. I just can't forget all the nuances of the music I hear with SS units that simple vanished with tube pre amps. Yep, the tube "harmonics" an... | |
| Starting from Scratch -Please Help Pick 1 out of 3 Thegoodarcher - please accept my apologies for derailing your thread, and good luck going forward! | |
| Starting from Scratch -Please Help Pick 1 out of 3 If you'd bothered to look at my virtual system you'd see that I do in fact own them. And sorry, but you're about the only person I've ever seen on here who claims that kilowatt amplification is absolutely necessary to drive them. | |
| Starting from Scratch -Please Help Pick 1 out of 3 "A pair of used Revel Salon 2's is another option (in the $10K range). I've also owned these speakers, and they are incredible for the money. But they require GOBS of power. 750 watts into 4 ohms minimum. They really sing once you get over 1000 wa... | |
| Fremer lays an Ostrich egg... Gotta say I admire Mr. Fremer for posting here even if he does seem a bit...well...excited! And I will say that if the 53s produce the same smooth but not particularly dynamic sound I've encountered with several other ML amps, then I too would lik... |
