| Subwoofer Selection HELP ? ? ? Sorry to muddy the waters... but I'd be looking at the REL Stadium or Aerial SW-12. | |
| BAT vk300x Special edition and dynaudio C2 I think the BAT will be fine with the C2's. I too upgraded from Dyn. 1.3SE's to the C2's and can highly recommend it. The upgrade is quite signficant. I've since moved up another rung to C4's... I'm done for a while ;-) | |
| Looking for $20k system for Mahler No 6 My blatantly biased suggestion...Speakers - Dynaudio C4's ($9K used)Amp - Plinius SA 102 ($2.8K used)Pre - Aesthetix Calypso... w/good NOS tubes ($3.3K used)Digital - choose from Audio Aero, Esoteric, Accuphase, Ayre ($4K used)Room Treatments from... | |
| Tubes to solid state for amplifier path... I've never owned a tube amp, although I'll likely make the plunge eventually. However, I've owned a Plinius SA 102 amp (140 WPC in class A) for approx. 14 months, and have never had any problems with it heating up my 15' x 20' x 7' room. Yes, the ... | |
| SP Tech Timepiece 3.0-Dynaudio C1 comparison? I'm not familiar with the SP Techs... but I've owned C2's and currently own C4's, both of which are respectable speakers. Probably can't go wrong with the C1's, as long as you've got decent amplification and can live with pulling them approx. 4 to... | |
| room treatment I second GIK Acoustics. I just added 5 of their 244 panels and the results have been excellent. Very helpful staff and excellent prices. | |
| Any Aesthetix Calypso VS Cary SLP-05 comparison? I currently have the Calypso and like it a lot. It appears you've got yours rolled with the ultimate NOS Mullard 10M's... so I'm assuming you've maximized the sound of your Calypso, and your still not completely satisfied? While I have no experien... | |
| Aesthetix Calypso Power Cord I use a Cardas Golden Ref. PC with my Calypso. No complaints. | |
| Looking for the "better sub" That's a large room. I'd recommend either the REL Stadium or Aerial SW-12. | |
| REL R-Series vs. B Series I can't speak to which series is better for your application, although I would say the B series is a better quality sub, and better suited for pure audio appications, and the R series is better suited for home theater. However, if I understand you... | |
| Audio Aero Capitole MK2 CD Puck. Does anyone know if the spider puck would work with my Capitole 24/192?Also, how/where does one purchase the Electrocompaniet spider puck. | |
| Dynaudio Sapphire Do a search for a review of the Sapphire written by fellow Agon member, kthomas.I bought Kirk's C4's when he upgraded to the Sapphire's and I managed to get a brief, 15 minute listen to them. The Sapphires where not broken in yet, but they sounded... | |
| Euphoric Realism vs. Euphonic Romanticism It appears that you've tried a lot of the best. One I don't see on your list is the VAC Renaissance. I have no first-hand knowledge of the VAC Ren. pre or many of the other brands you have listed, however, in my limited time with the entry level A... | |
| Best used speaker - Vand 2CE or Soliloque 6.3? As a former owner of Soliloquy, I second the recommendation of Vandersteens. | |
| Size matters...need smaller speakers Another Dynaudio "homer" here. I second the suggestion of Dynaudio Confidence C1's. A smallish bookshelf with a big, smooth sound. Another suggestion, is the Verity Parsifal Encore, a floorstander with a very small footprint. Can be had used on th... |
