| Best Integrated Amp, Price no obstacle? Hbarrel...sorry if I misinterpreted your post. It looked like you were saying the new BC unit was "just so-so". My bad.I'm guessing that no one has talked about it much because it is relatively new...it was introduced about 3-4 months ago... | |
| Best Integrated Amp, Price no obstacle? Hbarrel,Not sure where you heard that. I may be biased because I'm a Blue Circle dealer, but I have not been more excited about a product than the new BC NSCS Integrated in a while. Quite honestly, it is making it hard for me to sell some of the l... | |
| Progressive Rock Yes9 says "The reason I asks is that I attended the Home Entertainment show last month in NYC. And not one of the rooms I visited were playing rock of any kind - and they did not seem receptive to taking request - especially at the volume I would ... | |

| Anyone familar with the Swan line of speakers? Are you talking about the Swan Divas? They were sold by AV123.com (no longer, tho) and made in China... | |
| I want profoundly better bass Yeah, I'm with Drubin. Room treatments and speaker placement are the first things you should experiment with before laying out a bunch of cash. You've got a narrow and long room...narrow will give you big corner distortions (12.5' will give you a ... | |
| Blue Circle CS Integrated with ATC SCM7 Speakers The only hesitation I'd have with the ATC SCM7 is that it has a relatively low sensitivity (84db), and while the CS may sound good with it, there are probably better matches out there if you haven't committed to the SCM7. You might want to conside... | |

| best CD player or DAC under $1000 As far as DACs go, if strictly speaking of less than $1000, I'd have to say the Benchmark DAC1. Go up $200-300 from there, and I think there are a few DACs that you'd also have to consider, including the April Music Stello DAC and the Bel Canto DAC2. | |
| Trelja in New York - 2005 Trelja,My demo room actually has the opposite problem of the hotel rooms...it has some openings that cause some bass suckout at around 60hz. I've got some ideas of how to address, tho, and hope to have them solved soon.Things are still a little di... | |
| Trelja in New York - 2005 Trelja,Thanks again for the compliment on our room!It's unfortunate (and quite surprising) to hear of your situation with BC. I agree not to turn this thread into something ugly...I'll just say that there are always two sides to every story, and I... | |
| Other Hobbies? I was into biking (mostly mountain, although some road), scuba diving, and movies. Since becoming a parent 3 years ago, the biking and scuba have gone by the wayside. But have become even more involved in movies as an executive producer for indepe... | |
| Trelja in New York - 2005 Thanks for complimenting the sound in our room (Sonic Spirits/Blue Circle/Focus Audio/Dodson)...glad you enjoyed it! Although I'm not sure of what issues you've had with Blue Circle in the past...of all the manufacturers I work with, they are the ... | |
| cdp digital volume control or preamp? I've heard the BC21.1 together with a Sonic Frontiers amp (not sure which one) and thought it sounded great. Whether you'd prefer it over your cdp direct to the amp is a personal perference. In my limited experience with cdps w/volume controls dir... | |
