| "Absolute best" used speaker for $8-10K Hard to beat Merlin VSM-MX for voice and acoustic. They have avery tight low end down to 30Hz or so (w/the BAM unit) You would think the room might be too big, but you would need to speak with Bobby at Merlin - he'll give you the straight scoop. | |
| Broken CAT It would seem to some extent that perosnal preference would dictate what is best - an elusive notion. I bought the CAT-pre to go with the CAT-amp because the pre has been highly regarded, well reviewed, and an evolved product. And whether it is "y... | |
| Broken CAT Mt resposne to to the Lamm in the system was similar to 42659, the sound was some how juicier and individual instruments were less spotlighted, that is, they were still distinct, but as if all playing toghether in the same room - I always felt the... | |
| Supratek preamp vs Lamm LL2 ??? Just the comparison I was interested in. Any opinions out there? | |
| Is it worth the trouble? Evalauting equipment and assessing sound are pleasures distinct (though related) from enjoying the music. I enjoy both. One is focused process (fidelity, reproduction), the other is results (music, listening). Two different forms of entertainment.... | |
| Lamm ML1.1 & ML 2.1 If you have the opportunity to audition the Convergent Audio Technologies JL-2 amplifer (100 Watts, Class A, Triode), I would do so. Along with the LAMMs, among the best. | |
| Best preamp for CAT JL2 amplifier 42659, This is not the first time I have heard it said that the CAT Ultimate is not a particulary good match with the CAT amps - althought it seems strange that they would not work well together. Can you clarify what it was about the combination t... | |
| $5000 or under speaker secommendations? I would at least audition the Vandersteen 3A Signature. | |
| Everyone whose Merlins... Obviously, most people that have this speaker love it. Most commentators at shows and magazines love it. What makes it so special? The key for me is that it is able to reproduce beautiful from top to bottom in perfect balance. With this speaker, f... | |
| Vandersteen Subwoofer decision Anotheraudiguy, It sounds like you are making the right decision. On a music only basis, adding the 2W will sound great and it seems like your room works well with the 2W's Q. When I owned a pair of 2WQs I felt that it was useful to adjust the Q i... | |
| How much does your system retail for? $75,000 Rig + Music$50,000 MSRP Two Channel, CD only. $25,000 in CDs. | |
| Tube Amps: CAT JL3's vs ARC Ref 300's CATs are Triode. | |
| Aesthetix Calypso vs ARC LS25 MK2 Has anyone been able to compare the Calypson to the CAT Ultimate? | |
| BAT vs. Quicksilver There is a QS on sale today by seller thatpreviously owned by a BAT-VK-60 owner. You might be able to speak with him/her. | |
| Top Ten Speakers of All Time? Merlin VSM-MX. I thought to myself, they could not be this good. Too small. Just two drivers - (a 6 1/2" bass?). I was a skeptic. After listening to these speakers (and now owning them)I just have to keep wondering how Bobby P. was able to do it -... |
