| 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... | |
| How big of a difference do amps make? I'm with Phaelon: everything affects everything, and discussion of whether this amp or that amp is better or worse is pretty much lacking context when not discussed in connection with the rest of the system. And this is coming from someone who is ... | |
| Fremer lays an Ostrich egg... Although I think the OP is overly offended about one (1) reviewer's opinion*, we should still thank him for generating an interesting thread that lead to a discussion raising some interesting questions about what we should expect from our systems.... |
