| Suggestions for integrated amps for B&W CM10 I am not surprised Magnolia would push Rotel as they are a Rotel dealer and the B&W Group has an equity stake in Rotel too. It doesn't mean that there is necessarily synergy with the two.IMO, I consider Parasound a cut above Rotel. especially ... | |
| Best used floor standers up to $1300 I would suggest the speakers that sound best to you, are within your stated budget and can be properly driven with your electronics. Since there are literally hundreds of speakers, used and new to choose from, how could I possibly recommend one? T... | |
| Suggestions for integrated amps for B&W CM10 B&W's are known to be a fairly bright speaker to begin with plus your matching it to a Class D amp that usually has the same rap.I would suggest you give the Parasound Halo Integrated a serious look. Its Class A/AB and at 160 wpc into 8 & ... | |
| Challenging Turn Table Setup - Help Needed Curious why you are using an ADC and then connecting to your AVR via Coax? Why not run L/R analog interconnects from your Pro-ject phono stage into any of the 5 line level analog inputs on your AVR? This would be the cleanest, most direct connecti... | |
| new Cadenza Blue issue? Ok, I am new to the $1250+ cartridge scene. Are my expectations too high? Do others here who have purchased carts at this price+ find that other manufacturers also have QC issues and/or inconsistent shipping and packaging policies?Your expectation... | |
| Turntables While the Perspex 6 is a fine table with a tonearm capable of a $800-$1000 cartridge, I agree with the others and stick with a $100-$150 entry level MM cartridge at this time. Biggest reason being your electronics - your using the on-board phono s... | |
| How important is the amp? An amps primary purpose is to properly drive a pair of speakers. So an amp is very important and must be up to this task. It should allow you to listen at whatever level your comfortable at with no worry of clipping or putting it into protection m... | |
| Wharfedale Diamond 8.4 Can anyone tell me a source to get the speaker grills for a pair of Wharfedale Diamond 8.4 speakers? I have contacted Wharfedale directly and they have nothing.Yeah, another pair of Diamond 8.4's found on CL, Ebay, garage sales, etc.These speakers... | |
| Focal Aria 906 vs Totem Mite I have heard the Venere 2.0's and they are superb. The 2.0 seems to be the real sweet spot in the Venere lineup. You won't need a subwoofer either with its 7" mid-bass driver.With your musical tastes, I would think these would be ideal for you. Bu... | |
| Best cartridge match for my Phono Preamp Suggesting a cartridge is about a s difficult as recommending a pair of speakers - both are very subjective.We would need to know more about your taste in music and what you are hoping to achieve.The good part is that your phono preamp is one of t... | |
| Harman Kardon AVR 7300 vs Marantz SR 8002 - SQ Which one sounds better for music?I assume you are talking about 2 channel music as your posted this in a sub-forum that predominately is about 2 channel equipment.If so, I would think neither would sound better for music. They're AVR's. No matter... | |
| Sell a speaker you like but CANNOT optimize sound? If you can't optimize their sound doesn't that mean you don't like them?I agree with Sebrof. If you cannot optimize the sound, you are not pleased.How can you like something you're not pleased with? | |
| a first integrated amp to build a system around I almost certainly cannot go out and listen to all of these so I need to narrow my options before I go out and start listening. Starting with an integrated amp seems like a reasonable thing to do.Sorry but I disagree. Starting with the speakers so... | |
| Totem Hawk: Outdated compared to newer spks?? First Mr. Parneer, I am not a great believer that older technology has the sonic charm to possibly sound better than newer speaker technology. On rare occasions, that might be true as several members have qualified. Basically, to me that is an old... | |
| Totem Hawk: Outdated compared to newer spks?? The design has been around for over ten years with a few minor upgrades I heard the speaker several times and liked themIf you heard them and liked them, that is probably the most important aspect in selecting a speaker.Not sure by what you mean a... |
