| Monitor Audio Gold GX300 I'm a big lover of dynamics too but that is mostly a function of the noise floor of your amp and the sensitivity characteristics of your speakers as well as damping factor. And the B/L factor of the voice coils to a slightly lesser degree as well.... | |
| Monitor Audio Gold GX300 That is excellent advice, Bo. I will take that to heart. More power rarely equates to better performance. It will make amp shopping much easier! | |
| "Warm Sounding" Solid State Amplifiers Thanks again folks. The Threshold amps appear to show up at a lower price points on the used markets. Seems worth while to check out! If I'm lucky I might find a seller in Southern Ontario. There's one for sale in Alberta but freighting heavy and ... | |
| "Warm Sounding" Solid State Amplifiers Slaw,Can I call you Cole? Anyway, I'm not sure if you've been reading through the rest of this thread but Bombaywalla already left some feedback relatively similar to this and I have addressed it.I've been at this hobby for the better part of 15 y... | |
| "Warm Sounding" Solid State Amplifiers On the Canuckaudiomart there is a deal on for a Musical Fidelity A308 for $1300 CDN. I've been in contact with the seller but I feel like I'd be making too much of an impulse purchase. The few reviews I've found suggest that it is (as its brand na... | |
| "Warm Sounding" Solid State Amplifiers Zd542Synergy of components is critical. And your room is always the biggest component! | |
| "Warm Sounding" Solid State Amplifiers Bombaywalla,You are absolutely correct. Everyone's experience is going to be completely unique for any number of reasons or variables and because of that I always take the council of others with an open minded grain of salt, if you will. In regard... | |
| "Warm Sounding" Solid State Amplifiers Quite the discussion I have sparked!I'm looking at a budget of around $2000 CDN but if I find a smoking hot deal on a Pass Labs piece I could see myself breaking the bank perhaps up to $4000 or so.My speakers are Monitor Audio RX6's and before tho... | |
| "Warm Sounding" Solid State Amplifiers Thanks everyone. I will likely stick with NAD then but I plan to look into the other brands mentioned to gain a bit of knowledge. A friend of mine owns a NAD M3. He loves it but he's had to send it out for repairs 2 or 3 times and was not terribly... | |
| Counterfeit Audioquest Cables Let's keep it cordial folks! :) | |
| Counterfeit Audioquest Cables Thank you, Jmcgrogan2! That is very helpful info.I was unaware that other companies are producing serialized cables. I'm definitely going to follow up on that and look into these companies you've mentioned to better familiarize myself.I also agree... | |
| Counterfeit Audioquest Cables Very good point Zd542. I am also a huge Bryston fan and have owned over a dozen of their products. I even visited their shop once completely unannounced and got the royal treatment from them! Unbeatable service although they don't have any counter... | |
| Counterfeit Audioquest Cables This is excellent! Thanks for participating in this discussion. I was worried I would get a little bit of negative backlash but it's good to know that I'm not completely alone.So far I am only familiar with Audioquest interconnects but I feel that... | |
| Bryston 3B ST vs NAD C 355BEE Thanks guys! The Axioms definitely were a tad bright and the NAD is definitely a warmer sounding amp. The Bryston amps certainly had better command of the bass but the NAD still has lots of punch for it's price point. My ears have become more accu... | |
