| IS THE MARTIN LOGAN Renassance 15A worth the $10,000 higher cost than the Expression 13A I have listened to the Rennaisance's before. They are very impressive; and very large. Ultimately, your room size should be the main deciding factor between the Rennaisance and the Expression. In a nutshell....If you have a fairly large room, and ... | |
| "Warm Sounding" Solid State Amplifiers A bit of a long overdue update on this discussion. I definitely didn't realize the can of worms that I was about to open before I began the discussion but it has been highly enlightening.Earlier in the thread I accused Bryston amps of sounding too... | |
| Bryston: THX for 2 ch - a good thing or not? 10 years late but I feel like contributing my 2 cents to this thread.I have owned the 7B ST's, 7B THX's, 7B SST2's, a 4B THX and a couple of very old 4B pros.In short, I found that the Bryston THX amps performed noticeably differently than the non... | |
| I am going to build a listening room Thanks for the input thus far!I had not considered flooding until it was mentioned in this thread. There are no windows in the room but it does have the challenge of the water service (and electrical service) being located within it. The house is ... | |
| Where does your user name come from? PontifexThe direct literal translation from Latin to English is "Bridge Builder". The term is, however, more common in the roman catholic church where it is used to address the pope as Pontifex Maximus. "Greatest Bridge Builder".I am very much not... | |
| How much does the transport affect sound quality? Thanks, Z.Are you able to elaborate on that at all?By the way, I am receiving Threshold T400 today. Pure Class A. Looking forward to comparing it to the Musical Fidelity A308 | |
| "Warm Sounding" Solid State Amplifiers The journey continues...I have purchased a Threshold T400 power amp. Like the MF A308 it is a dual mono design but the Threshold is pure Class A, as most of you probably know already.It will be arriving at my house tomorrow and I am looking forwar... | |
| Audioquest Water I don't have any experience with the Water interconnects but I do have the Earth interconnects in XLR. They are very good and I highly recommend them. Looking to get a pair in RCA as well. I wrote a review on them in this forum. Feel free to look ... | |
| "Warm Sounding" Solid State Amplifiers Sorry for the wait but I have finally picked up the A308 and the GX 300's.The A308 integrated is a wonderful amp! In a nutshell, it is more on the neutral side of the spectrum but it is very musical. After a 15 to 20 minute warm up it really comes... | |
| "Warm Sounding" Solid State Amplifiers Quite likely! The seller is a gentleman in Southern Ontario. It's like it was waiting there for me! ;) | |
| "Warm Sounding" Solid State Amplifiers Yes, that's right. An excellent point. From what I understand they still manufacture their higher models in the UK still. Anyway that's very distant on my "radar" I shouldn't really entertain that notion until I have had a good amount of time to l... | |
| "Warm Sounding" Solid State Amplifiers It will still be yet another week or so but I'm very excited to finally introduce myself to the Musical Fidelity brand. If I enjoy their sound signature I could see myself moving up to the M6 series. I want to simplify my rig a bit more and get a ... | |
| The best CD Player for the money This is astonishing! This thread has been going for nearly 15 years!! :)I have a Cambridge Audio 751BD universal player for my transport. Purchased a demo model for $899 CDN in 2013, I think?? Great unit! Very versatile although I now use it in ta... | |
| "Warm Sounding" Solid State Amplifiers Just a quick update for anyone who has been following...I have secured a deal on a Musical Fidelity A308 integrated amplifier for $1300 CDN. That model dates back to 2003 (I think ?) but it was manufactured in Great Britain before MF moved the bul... | |
