| audio valve eklipse or aesthetix calypso I really like my Calypso and it responds very favorably to rolling tubes. I just plugged in some Telefunken smooth plate 12AX7's and the sound is sublime. | |
| Focal 1027 Electra Be and power amp If you want to stick with solid state, the Audio Research 100.2 is a classic (100 wpc) and can be had @ $1,750 on the used market. | |
| Difference between Luxman L-550A II & L-507u Anyone hear or try the 550A with the Harbeth M-40.1's? I'm thinking a 20WPC integrated, albeit conservatively rated, would have a tough time pushing 40.1's 12" woofers. | |
| The Harbeth phenomenon Chashas1 - so you don't like Harbeth or Dynaudio. What speakers have you owned that you like? | |
| Jolida 1501 RC I've had one in our great room for the last 4 years that the family uses for movies and occasional music. No problems, non fatiguing, warm, but not very resolving. Overall, a good product at it's price point... and I'd choose it over a Rotel produ... | |
| McIntosh MA2275 int tube Amp...OPINIONS PLEASE If it sounds anything like my McIntosh MC 275 MK V, I'd say you should be quite happy. Plus, I like the fact that it's American made.... Mac gear has a reputation for being dependable.... Mac has outstanding customer support, and resale value is s... | |
| The Harbeth phenomenon Shadorne - You commented... "FWIW the M40.1 is really rather uninspiring - even Stereophile did not take much of a shine to it."Not sure if that's a fair statement. Stereophile rated it Class A... and both Art Dudley and Sam Tellig's comments wher... | |
| The Harbeth phenomenon Mmike84's comments mimic my feelings on the subject. Most of my time as an audiophile has been spent with Dynaudio speakers, including the C2's & C4's, both of which are exceptional. However, I found myself tiring of having to crank up the vol... | |
| Dynaudio Confidence C2 or Focus 360 ? I've owned the C2's and the C4's. I found the bass lacking with the C2's and used a REL Storm sub to fill out the low end. The C4's do not need a sub. | |
| GIK vs. Real Traps? I have 8 GIK 244 panels. Made a big difference for me, and the price was very reasonable. Good, friendly service too. | |
| Select Your Less Than Ideal System I'll take a "C" please. | |
| Plinius SA-50 MKIII vs SA-103 I owned the SA-102 for several years and thought it was a great amp... and like Samzx12, I also owned a BAT VK 200, but IME, the Plinius sounded much better to me than the BAT amp.I don't know this to be certain, but have read that the SA-102 &... | |
| Synergy between Calypso- JLTI- Sim audio W-5 I tried my Calypso with SIM W-6 monoblocks. The Calypso has remained with me for over 2.5 years... the SIM's didn't last one week before I moved on. | |
| 2 Channel or 5 Channel- Dynaudio Confidence 5 Bigbucks5 nailed it. Been there... done that... 2 channel is the way to go. | |
| SimAudio i5 vs Creek Destiny you'd be moving backwards going from the Creek to the Sim... lateral at best. |
