| Looking for speaker choice advice..... Some complain of Maggies having narrow sweet spots,little bass,and poor dynamics...and despite some or all of these limitations(they are very room dependent)...they still can sound amazing...and give many more pricier hi-end speakers some serious ... | |
| Am I hurting my speakers? Your probably fine...the difference between 40w and 50w is nominal...these are only manufacturer's "guidelines"...if u listened at high volumes that might be an issue...but like you mentioned...it sounds good...contrary to what many think...normal... | |
| Looking for spkr suggestions Paradigm Reference...not exactly a "hi-end" choice...but for your applications...very good imaging/transparency, and clean musical bass...cheaper than the Danes too...maybe a touch "hot" in the treble...but good value and excellent build quality..... | |
| Looking for spkr suggestions Good list...with good suggestions from above...if your main preference is rock...the Dynaudio 72 is a nice all around design...very good out of box imaging and deep, clean bass...they are 4 ohm load...but your ROtel will do just fine...I like the ... | |
| CD player and DAC FOr $800...you could also go with a SACD/CD unit...new or used...and with Sony positioning themselves with new hybrid manufacturing facilities and upcoming releases...I would hesitate to "pigeon hole" myself with a redbook player...the format is a... | |

| Retail Buying - Reality Check In general, most hi-end 2-channel retailers are struggling due to the HT craze and the plethora of Audio Supermarkets carrying low quality, mass market fare...I guess it all depends on your approach...Im not a high roller...and pretty up front abo... | |
| Best used Red Book Player for Rock-N-Roll Hard to go wrong with a Rega Planet...which is synonomous with a warm, analog sound(great for rock recordings)...if you feel your system is revealing enough to warrant the extra...then keep the Meridian...to go beyond that will cost you and arm an... | |
| CD player and DAC I would agree with the first post...at your price point blow your wad on one unit vs. monkeying with a DAC,cables,transport,etc...u could buy a used Rega 2000 which has an excellent 24/96 DAC for alot less than $800...and put the savings into a su... | |
| HELP Why no bass? Why bright? ALso..to address your cable concerns...analog guys love Kimber cable for its warmth...and I have heard from fellow posters DH labs cable can be bright with the wrong equipment....I hope this helps...just for the record...B&W speakers seem to b... | |
| HELP Why no bass? Why bright? ALso...if your B&Ws are on loan...and you detest brightness as you stated...going with a soft dome tweeter ala Spendors,Castles,Proacs,etc might be the ticket...although this will not solve your bass issue...if you really crave more bass...you... | |
| HELP Why no bass? Why bright? B&W speakers are not known for deep bass(as are most Brit speakers)...they are designed for classical in mind afterall...and the same could be said for Brit amps...they can be a bit lean for some applications...most Brit equipment is "all abou... | |
| Advice wanted I also know Sean is a fan of the Castle Richmond monitors...as am I...they dont have alot of bass...but being an "old school" British speaker...they have that very open and full midrange...which makes them sound bigger than they look...for around ... | |
