Mcintosh 601's vs Classe CA-M600's I'm running Symphonic Line Kraft 250s that are Class A. They get warm but not hot - and actually run cooler than the Class A/B Plinius SB-301 stereo amp they replaced in my system. The Symphonic Line website lists Sonus Faber as one of the manufac... | |
Which loudspeakers work best close to back wall? As a general statement, speakers with that have downward or front ports tend to do better close to walls than those that are rear-firing. | |
Revel Salon 2 with Pass Labs amps Now to the OP's second question. I have to echo Irvrobinson's thoughts that the Salon 2 is a noticeably better speaker than the Studio 2 and that it will be a much better match to a large room. As for Wilson Sashas, I actually like their sound alt... | |
Revel Salon 2 with Pass Labs amps I did hear both the Legacy Focus SE and Whispers when auditioning speakers last year (and ended up with Salon 2s). I actually preferred the Focus SE to the Whispers, which I thought was surprisingly bland and overly polite. When compared to the Sa... | |
Revel Salon 2 with Pass Labs amps Sorry, I must have misconstrued this post:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?aamps&1325125968&openusid&zzTobb&4&5#Tobb | |
Revel Salon 2 with Pass Labs amps A dealer disclaimer is appropriate when fishing for business, Tobb. | |
Best one-chasis CD/SACD player under $15 000? Second Zephyr's recommendation to at least check out the Ayre C-5xeMP. Very happy with mine. Only caveat is that it is a more up-front and detailed player than some others, so it will work best for you if that's the kind of sound you want to empha... | |
Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? My new Symphonic Line Kraft 250 Class A monos. I dunno about for life, but for the next decade or maybe more I could see them staying seated in my system. Deep, powerful but refined bass without excess fat, purity in the mids, and detailed without... | |
Amp for Sonus Faber Amati Futura I'm sure some will disagree - especially tube amp fans - but in my opinion big speakers like yours need big power and especially big current. So noting that your Vitus monoblocks only put out 100 watts, I'm wondering if a lack of strength is your ... | |
Amplification to B&W 800 Diamond I'm using Symphonic Line Kraft 250 monos that are Class A with my Revel Salon 2 speakers. The Salon 2s are less efficient than your 800 Diamonds, but the Symphonic Line amps drive them to concert levels effortlessly with great musicality. Ignore t... | |
Power Amp advice Well there you go. What was it you liked better about the Rowland 625? | |
Anyone compared 6922 Sovtek & Electro-Harmonix I was told by the previous owner of my Symphonic Line tube pre-amp that he had rolled several different kinds of tubes in and out of it, and that despite trying tubes significantly more expensive, the EH 6922s sounded the best in it. So that's wha... | |
When was the last time you listened to live music? Last concert featuring unamplified music? The three-year-old granddaughter's pre-school graduation concert! | |
Mark Levinson 532H Dickey1, you posted on another thread that you are using monitors in a 100 s.f. room. Wouldn't a 532H or similar high-wattage amp be overkill for you? Just wondering if you'd get better results by spending the same amount on less-powerful but more... | |
