| Krell S300i vs Hegel H100 vs Parasound @Ricred1...The Halo integrated is brand new with a power output somewhere between the A23 and the A21. It appears to be full featured too with a built-in DAC amd bass management. Here's a link:http://parasound.com/halo/integrated.phpLooks good at ... | |
| Krell S300i vs Hegel H100 vs Parasound FWIW, I considered the Mac MA5200 too but could not find a 4 Ohm rating for its amp section anywhere on the internet and on Macs own website. In fact the back panel of the 5200 clearly states 8 Ohm by the speaker terminals. The Dyns you ordered ar... | |
| Krell S300i vs Hegel H100 vs Parasound Congrats on the Dyns. I think you made a good choice. They are great sounding speakers and I am sure you will not find them fatiguing with their soft dome tweeters.Either amp you're considering will do a more than adequate job driving the Dyns as ... | |
| Krell S300i vs Hegel H100 vs Parasound I second everything that Soix said above. If your serious about music, you want an integrated to drive your speakers. Not HT gear.The stereo preamp sections in HT processors are an afterthought. Your Rotel was not designed with 2 channel music in ... | |
| Parasound P-5 Halo While the P5 is a nice preamp, IMO the phono sections in preamps in this class are just OK. Had a Parasound 2100 once and the $200 Pro-ject Phono Box S was much, much better. And far more quiet. You could hear faint hiss coming through the speaker... | |
| Integrated Amplifier for Focal 807W At low volumes your speakers are operating with 1-2 watts most of the time. I don't see where having an amp of lesser power is going to help reduce the volume further at low levels.I would be exploring the placement of the speakers relative to you... | |
| where to go from here..,, From my reading so far, a separate pre- with HT bypass is likely to provide the best improvement in 2 channel SQ(?)Absolutely! Putting a stereo pre-amp in the mix will definitely improve your 2 channel listening. It has been my experience that the... | |
| Compare REL Model Lines To answer your specific question about the REL models you're considering - Yes, the R series subs are a step above the T series subs. They are also very different in that the R series uses Class D amps while the entry level T's use Class A/B. The ... | |
| Long cable run from my phono preamp to linestage. But without doing the calculations in my last post, what I'm saying you may not know if your getting the very best out of it.Well George, I am certainly all for getting the best sound I can get out of my system.In my case, my second TT is a fully ... | |
| Long cable run from my phono preamp to linestage. I currently run 5 meters from a phono pre-amp to my integrated on a second table that I recently acquired. No worries! | |
| current state of vienna acoustics Being a VA owner, I would think you would be well advised to listen to a pair of Beethoven Grands and if you like, build a system around them. Very musical with a fit and finish second to none.But audition first...15 years ago is a long time to re... | |
| vienna acoustics mozart thanks everybody for the input. what else can i buy in the $500 to $1200 range?The ones that sound best to you in your price range and that your amplifier can properly drive. | |
| vienna acoustics mozart I agree - hold out for a pair of Grands. But be aware, there are two Mozart Grands made by Vienna. There is the Mozart Grand that replaced the non-grand Mozart that your looking at. And now there is the Mozart Grand SE that replaced the Grand a fe... | |
| Quality issues with Tekton speakers.... I certainly feel for you Audiofreak. If I spent $2500 on anything and it wasn't perfect, I know I would be PO'd! Regardless if it was purchased from a well established global giant or a small boutique ID company. If a company demands suggested lis... | |
| before I buy I am looking at an amp to buy but can't test it until I get it home. What if anything should I look for when I pull the hood off? Thanks for any help.To make sure the amp your buying will properly drive the loudspeakers you have at home. So you mi... |
