Legacy 20/20 and Tubes
I responded to this thread because I was running an ARC SP16L and Manley 250 monoblocks(on the top), both tubed products. I felt this was a proper response to this thread.I wasn't bashing Legacy in any way, shape or form. I have no grudge against ... 
Legacy 20/20 and Tubes
I had a pair of 20/20's in my home for a two week demo in June of '04. I ran them with an ARC sp16l pre, Manley-Neo Classic 250 tube mono's on the top and an Aragon 8008bb on the bottom, I won't bother listing all the gear. I did not run them with... 
Live infectious funk jams....quality recordings
Liquid Souls' first two albums...Self Titled and "Make Some Noise". Both albums are a mix of studio and live and both are good recordings. They can be had at Amazon.com, pick up the self titled album, you won't be sorry. Groove on it for a few wee...

Naim CD5X play CDRs ??
Eastside Guy, I can't comment on the Nait5, as I know nothing about it. Can only talk to the 5i, 5x scenario.I find the more my 5x breaks-in, the more I like it, finding it very smooth indeed. And I concur with Emil that there is no upgrade path f... 
Naim CD5x
I demo'd both the cd5i and cd5x in my home and bought a cd5x. It took about a week on repeat play to start really sounding good, and I'm sure it's not fully broken-in.I agree with Muzikat, surf Naim's forum for the skinny. 
Naim CD5X play CDRs ??
I demo'd both the cd5i and cd5x in my home, on my system.And I beg to differ with Bundy...I feel there is a huge step up from the 5i to the 5x, the latter of which I now own. 
Mcintosh vs Parasound
Hello Sea2,I recently purchased JC1's which are still breaking-in at just over 400 hours. They replaced an Aragon 8008bb and Manley Neo-Classic 250's. I ran these amps both independently and bi-amped together. JC1's take a long time to break-in, u...

Parasound JC-1 with B&W Nautilus speakers?
Hey Tfee,It's been 11 month's! Your JC-1's are fully broken-in, how about an update? 
VSA VR4 Gen III SE biamp questions.
Louis, I just received my VR-4's this weekend. I am bi-amping using solid state and tubes with excellent results. Also, using a tube pre-amp. At this point, I see no need to attenuate either amp(s) or put any external xo's on, although I may exper... 
Upgrading speakers...Legacy Focus 20/20???
Sean, I've had the 20/20's here for almost two weeks now and I couldn't agree more with you on the room placement. These speakers are simply too big for this room. And pulling them out further into the room and out of the corners is simply not an ... 
Upgrading speakers...Legacy Focus 20/20???
