| Is the Dunlavy SC-3A's a good speaker for HT? The SC-IIIA's are almost identical to the Athena/Aletha and the Cantata. The "new owners", before Dunlavy tanked discountinued the Athena, Aletha and Cantata in an effort to consolidate the line. I can't say that I disagree with their decision. Th... | |

| Processor input / external pre amp You can use an input selector switch if you don't mind the manual select for the KPS versus the Line level pre-amp. That's what I did.47 Labs Input Chooser is a quality product at a reasonable price. I understand that Jena Labs will make an extrem... | |
| about the Audio Aero Capitole mk 2? I have a MKII.The AC connector is mounted sideways, it is neither UP nor DOWN with respect to the third pin.Looking at the rear of the unit, the connector is at the far left side of the MKII and it is oriented "RIGHT". That is to say, the third pi... | |
| Best Pre/Pro for 2-channel stereo sound? Theta Digital (Casanova/Casablanca) get high marks for thier audio. Prices vary depending upon options. They do volume control in the analog domain, not digital. Lexicon is another good choice. I'm not sure if the volume control is digital or anal... | |
| Review: Pass Labs X-350 Amplifier Nice review. Makes me want to run out an order one!I am a little concerned about simply replacing the 15A recepticles with the 20A ones unless of course the supply line is actually 12 gauge copper or better and with a 20 AMP breaker. I doubt the a... | |
| Riddle me this... The general theme of this thread is right on!I agree with the one word summary, marketing!Lots of marketing sell lots of products. Marketing costs lots of money. Money for large marketing budgets comes directly from the margin (profit) on the prod... | |
| Issues from using wrong spkr. termination Will your speaker/amplifier accept a banana jack?If so, I think Monster makes an adaptor for banana to spades. Your solution will not hurt but as you said, it is not optimum becasue you don't have much surface area to makes contact. Also, this arr... | |
| What speakers with Aloia power amps? Thanks all. I appreciate the feedback. There seems to be a strong, narrow, camp of folks on the 'Gon who are really into the Piegas. I'm in the Boston area and I'll see if there is a dealer around. Since speakers are rather cumbersome, I prefer to... | |
| Interconnect length Hardly any current on the interconnects. 1/2m, 1m, 3m... no difference or none to speak of. Speaker cables, that's another story... | |
| I am looking to upgrade my amp and preamp. Lots of good reports with Aloia and Dunlavy. I use two of them in bi-amp configuration with Cantatas and, well, this is just the best combination I have heard in my set up. You can get two used for the price of Levinson or Pass new. I ran with jus... | |
| Audio Aero Capitole MK II: Performance & Problems I haven't opened my unit (note warning) so I cannot verify the new chip but my unit is only a couple of weeks old so I assume that it is the latest chip, but not certain.The previous track button works like all others I have experienced while in "... | |
| Wiring a dedicated line Good advise from Albert...It sounds like you may the ground(green)/neutral(white) reversed or perhaps the feed(black)/neutral(white)reversed. The former condition would not be good. The outlets are "polarized" and the A/C unit could care very much... | |
| Speakers for the real world. Placement problems. Check out redesigned Dunalvy SC-III.A.10" woofer and frequency response is stated to begin at 27Hz. I have the Cantatas (not made any longer) but the redesigned SC-III's is just about the same. The new owners of Dunlavy shortened up their line by ... | |
| Aloia amp question, re: bridging There is no metion of bridging in the Aloia manuals. As far as I can tell, they are not. |
