| Why receivers aren't worth the "competetive price" Yes, take a something like polk speakers and perhaps a sony reciever against something expensive like Levinson/Wilson gear, set at equal levels then take measurements, the graffs won't differ by much more then 5% in the same room playing the same ... | |
| Why receivers aren't worth the "competetive price" You'd be shocked how many people you could fool by sticking store brand ice cream in a Haagan-Daz container. The fact is you're still getting milk, cream and sugar, and the idea that they are eating a premium ice cream will be enough to convince t... | |
| Dynaudio Focus? Being that alot of people like the older contour series better then the new one (myself inluded) I'd hold off on statements like XX is better then YY because it has some new transducers. Speaker manufacturers have to make 'upgrades' to keep sellin... | |
| Mini Monitors - Dynaudio and JM Labs I think everyone can agree that all these speakers sound great and are past the point of diminishing marginal returns, where that extra 5k will get a marked improvement in sound. I bet if you gathered them all together and played a variety of musi... | |
| Alternative to Dynaudio 1.3SE Mac's have such great resale value, I'd look to sell that before the 1.3se. As for the Sim, the bass is the opposite of Mac, it just seems fast and tight as opposed to slow and full, it's hard to explain unless you've heard both brands before. Eve... | |
| Review: Tube Audio Design TAD-60 Tube amp Why would they make two items that were intented to be used as a pair different colors and widths? I hope it sounds better then it looks, Paul if you ever read this, please consider the esthetics as well as the sound, even the lettering is differe... | |
| Alternative to Dynaudio 1.3SE What kind of amp do you have? My contours were about 18-20in from the wall and the bass was just right. I used a Sim Audio i5080. Sims known for a very fast and realistic bass sound that some people might even describe as lean. It has a fast decay... | |
| Speakers for Simaudio Moon I-5 I'd look at the Dynaudio 52SE. You can buy it new for less then the used 1.3SE, it has the tweeter from the S1.4 which you already know you love and the woofer from the 1.3mkII. That should be a match made in heaven, I'm surprised your dealer did ... | |
| Limited budget-spend more money on amp or preamp? My vote is for the integrated. You can't just mate up any pre and power amp, there needs to be synergy between the two. This can take a while to find and may not come within your buget. Integrateds take the guesswork out, hold their value better, ... | |
| Amp for Dynaudios You may want to go with the powered versions of these speakers. I see them all the time on ebay, just make sure they ship internationally and you can get quite a deal. If you still want to go with a separate amp, sim audio is the best I've heard w... | |
| No Audiophiles in Hollywood They had a pair of Martin Logan's in Joey and Chandler's apartment on Friends for a season or two. | |
| Direct By- Pass Direct by pass refers to bypassing the digital section of a HT pre/pro, it's a feature of the multichannel processer. HT bypass is found on a integrated amp and allows a HT pre/pro to bypass the integrateds pre section, to use it like a 2ch amp wh... | |
| Direct By- Pass There is a difference, most pre-pros will take the analog 2ch source like a cd player, send it through its digital processors, then to it's preamp section, even when you use the RCA style input. The music is getting converted twice, once from your... | |
| Bryston B60 vrs Sim Audio I-3 Sim Audio- better bass, sweeter top end, more juice, looks better. | |
| Rotel RMB vs. Sunfire Cinema Grand I was recently considering upgrading my HT amp, and took the Rotel 1095 home for an audition as well. I have to agree with your accessment, I found it brighter then my current amp (H/K sig 2.0), and despite the much better power ratings (200 watts... |
