| Dynaudio Audience 8 The Audience 8's appear to be an earlier version of the Audience 72 that is still being sold today as NOS by some dealers - around $750 each if you check Ebay. The Audience 8 is a medium sized tower with 3 drivers - 1" tweeter and 2 x 6.5" mid-woo... | |
| help marantz pm6004 onkyo a9050 yamaha s700/500 I agree with the above poster who said its a probably a toss up between the models you are considering.If I may make a suggestion. Consider, for not too much more, the Marantz PM8004. In fact, some smart shopping may get you one at or less than th... | |
| I'm lost...Recommendation for an amp/receiver? First, find a modern HDMI equipped receiver (AVR) that will adequately power your B&W's. Modern receivers are like Swiss Army knives and try to be all things to all people and as a result, there are trade offs - especially in the amp sections ... | |
| Arcam P777 or Theta Intrepid Guess you are referring to me Bo. Yes, I said that and hold by it. Please point to amplifier specs that measure and verify "talent" and dimensionality". If they exist, I will gladly say your right and retrack my statement to the OP.Regarding your ... | |
| Arcam P777 or Theta Intrepid Well Zydo, there you have it. Arcam is still a 2 dimensional brand merely because Bo says so. As he says "it is very easy to let people hear the difference between 2 and 3 dimensional sound just by using the talents and properties of brands".Now b... | |
| Arcam P777 or Theta Intrepid No problem Zydo. I like Arcam gear and I don't believe for one minute one amp can be 2 dimensional while another 3 or more. An amp can be more powerful, quieter, better S/N specs, damping factor, etc and all these specs can be measured. An amp can... | |
| Which REL sub, R528 or B2 My REL T-1 has no problems keeping up with the 7" woofers in my Vienna Bach Grands. I have always found REL's to be extremely fast subs! | |
| Arcam P777 or Theta Intrepid Bo, this is the third brand you have mentioned in your posts as being 2 dimensional. You said the same about Denon and Marantz. Onkyo however is OK along with Theta. So I guess these must 3 dimensional. Maybe even 4. I am curious if dimensionality... | |

| Is the V.P.I. Traveler made in China Let me guess. I'll bet the retailer who told the OP that the Traveler is made in China is not a VPI dealer.Worst way to sell a product. Slamming and lying to boot about the competition. Instead this guy ought to be talking about where the products... | |
| Snap, Crackle, Pop - What is the cause? Thanks again to everyone for your thoughful and intelligent responses. I posted the same question on vinylengine and the replies are similar - a good vaccuum record cleaning machine will help the situation along with careful selection of cartridge... | |
| Snap, Crackle, Pop - What is the cause? Thanks everyone for the addituonal responses. Sounds like it may be a combination of all three factors I sited plus several more.Chayro, while you may not lean toward "static", your answer did. You did not mention worn vinyl or embedded dirt like ... | |
| Snap, Crackle, Pop - What is the cause? Thanks everyone.I have now had three replies and each one is different. One says worn vinyl from being played on crappy equipment. Another says dirts and grease. A thord leans towards static.I would think this is an issue that matters to all of us... | |
| Yamaha Aventage RX-A1020 Needs some speakers Thats a big room Bill. With a lot of highly reflective surfaces too.If it was me, I would get the Parasound A31 at 250 wpc to drive the CM9's and Center. 3K and your done. Comes in Silver or Black. Keep your Yamaha RX1020 as your processor and als... | |
| B&W CM9s....what power is needed. The Arcam AV600 is an extremely impressive sounding AVR. It may very well be the best performing AVR avaialble today. When it performs.I would caution anyone considering spending 6K on an AVR to learn as much about this unit as possible. Seems tha... |
