| In-Wall System $3000-5000 Joseph Audio introduced some in wall speakers at this year's NYC Audio Show. When demoed, they were hidden behind a curtain to lead you to think that it was one of his different, more expensive speaker models in the room. Quite frankly, they were ... | |
| Vintage Advents too big for small room? David,Give stands a shot ... no small monitor will ever sound as rich or as pleasing as a full range speaker that sports a 10" or so woofer. It's just the physics man. It is not that small monitors can't sound good ... they can ... but they will n... | |
| Vintage Advents too big for small room? Armstrod: Your 12' X 12' room sounds very much like my master bedroom/listening room in my old Astoria apartment (11' X 11'). It's unfortunate that you can not place the Advents horizontally inside of/on top of a bookcase, because that would solve... | |
| Old Classic Receivers: A Mistake to Buy? Mint:"The Japanees receiviers of the 1970's will outperform ANY compination of seperate components made today regardless of price"This statement ranks up there with your "powerslam" of acoustic suspension design speakers in an another post this we... | |
| Arcam A85 / EPOS ESL3's sounding too Bright Owned the EPOS ESL3's for a while and they were not bright sounding at all ... perhaps a little boxy sounding, which was more due to how I had them placed. I had them paired with a vintage Marantz receiver and Signal Speaker Cables & Interconn... | |
| MF A300 to A308: notable improvement? Bunker:Your observations are pretty interesting. At the May 2004 NYC Audio Show, Musical Fidelity's representatives were recommending pairing the MF amps with Thiel speakers ... to the point of claiming that quite a few MF personnel owned Thiel sp... | |
| MF A300 to A308: notable improvement? Silvmoon:My apologies for the erroneous reference regarding the 308 Integrated and the Tri-Vista. It is the 308 separates that employ choke regulation (ergo the CR designation) and draw upon the technologies of the Vistas. BTW, Musical Fidelity ... | |
| Marantz 2325's interaction with 4 speakers/load? Supposedly, the Marantz 22XX receivers were stable at 2 ohms , which is the load that 2 sets of 4ohms speakers would present. Time to do some research either on Audio Asylum or with the names that I provided to you. Another source would be A.G. T... | |
| Marantz 2325's interaction with 4 speakers/load? Almost forgot, I have been using a 2240 for almost two years now ... musical, beefy sounding receiver. I have been using it with NHT SB2's and it has been a super combination. I have just ordered a pair of Omega's Super 3's (but in the TS3 body) a... | |
| Marantz 2325's interaction with 4 speakers/load? Supposedly, the only Marantz 22XX series receiver that was the strange bird was the 2270 ... 70 watts per channel to 8 ohms and 46 watts per channel to 4 ohms ... just the opposite of what you would expect. The 2325 and 2330 at 125/130 wpc respect... | |
| Metal cassette's and bias settings? Keith:I may be testing my memory here ... but metal formulated tapes are type IV cassettes and should set to that setting ... unless of course your tape deck doesn't have that setting (can't imagine why it wouldn't), but that would also explain th... | |
| MF A300 to A308: notable improvement? Silvmoon:Assuming for the moment that we could reasonably agree on what is full/thin/bright/smooth/thick in terms of sound, I think the culprit may be your speakers. The one constant in both my 2 channel reference and 2 channel HT systems for the ... | |
| Nad 521i feedback.... I know this is not the question that you asked ... but try a Music Hall MMF CD 25 with your NAD. I paired one with a NAD C320 BEE and it worked out very well ... absolutely stunning synergy. See my additional comments in my review of the NAD 320B... | |
| Thiel 7.2: amps suggestions please Looking at your question from the amp's point of view ... Musical Fidelity's representatives at the NYC HI FI show this past May were recommending pairing their amps with Thiels. They were pairing their latest KW 500 amp with Thiels 7.2. I wasn't ... | |
| AR 77 XB Turntable...Any information??? You can try AR Classic Pages . It focuses mainly on AR speakers, but there is a section on electronics that may lead you somewhere.Regards, Rich |
