| Zu or Harbeth Samhar - I'd say the 40.1's excel in being very well balanced speakers, in that they are good at everything... and I would describe their sound as palpable, organic, rich (without sounding syrupy) and full bodied. Micro dynamics and decay are exce... | |
| Speaker suggestions Harbeth's sound really nice at low to moderate volume levels... as much as I have enjoyed my many experiences with Dynaudio speakers, they really need the volume turned up to sound their best. | |
| Zu or Harbeth I think you'd love the 40.1's... I sure do. I can't speak to the sound of the Zu's, as I have never heard them, however, while I like that they are very efficient, I am turned off by the way they look (I know many would say the same about the 1970... | |
| How quite is the Aesthetix Calypso Vs Bat VK3i I think you'd be wasting your money if you plan to use the Calypso with stock tubes. Suggest you look at alternatives / older preamps from Audio Research & Conrad Johnson, or the Joule preamps. I'm just not a fan of BAT gear, although my exper... | |
| Sedonix I had my AA Capitole repaired by my local tech in St. Louis (Zaw Win @ Alpha Tech). Replaced the Phillips transport and the mini tubes... completed the work in two weeks with no issues. I'd be worried if I were you... sorry. | |
| How quite is the Aesthetix Calypso Vs Bat VK3i Agree verbatim with Dopogue's comments. My Calypso is superior to my previous preamps (BAT VK30 & Joule LA-150 MKII). However, good NOS tubes are required to make the Calypso sing... think Amperex white label 6922's & Mullard CV-4004 in th... | |
| Stands for Dynaudio Confidence 3's If you live near the St. Louis area, I have some Target stands filled with lead & sand I would sell for $150. Skylan & Sound Anchor are my faves. | |
| REL Studio III vs. JL Audio Fathom 113 I'd be worried that adding one sub, let alone two subs to your wonderful system might overwhelm things. I have a room, almost identical in size as yours, and when I tried to use just one REL Storm sub with my previous full range speakers (Dyn C4's... | |
| Tweaks Agree with Rhljazz on the GIK panels... and agree with Jgiacaloon that rubber/cork/rubber pads @ HVAC suppliers are more effective and less expensive than Vibrapods. I found the Vibrapods to suck the life out of the music. Macdadtexas - I agree th... | |
| speakers for arcam integrated Not sure of your budget or room size, but I've heard entry level Dynaudio monitors paired with Arcam @ a local dealership that sounded nice, and also own some old Dynaudio Audience 42's paired with an old Arcam integrated in my bedroom system. The... | |
| Why don't gold based cable fans try Synergistic I'm very happy with my Jade Hybrids. No need or desire to change unless I want to downgrade. | |
| Interconnect for sweet, silky violin sound Jade Hybrid. | |
| Harbeth speaker stands Neal... you may be correct on accent being Irish, as I don't recall him saying "if it's not Scottish, its CRAP!" Don't know for sure, but I do get a kick out of it. | |
| Harbeth speaker stands I use Skylan with my 40.1's. Noel is great to work with. Gotta love his thick Scottish accent! | |
