| Best amp for Spendor BC-1? I drove the next model (SP-1) nicely with a Bryston integrated. | |
| why go against REL setup recommendation? I had my Strata III in the corner and now it is between my Maggie 3.6's. Much better. The dealer set it up in the corner and it sounded pretty good, but I moved it, he came back to drop off some cable and he agreed that the sound was better with t... | |
| Best Phono Stages on Integrated Amps? Some Bryston B60's have phono, very nice too. | |
| Ok this will be a good thread. Taken in isolation....No question -- it's the amp.Clean, stable power, and plenty of it will bring any good set of speakers to life. That said, speakers must match the room size and the listener's desire for bass. A good speaker mismatched to its ... | |
| Bryston vs. Plinius I had Bryston a Bryston 4B and liked it. I have a pair of 7B's now and love them. Sterile? Perhaps, but I've always paired them with tube preamps.There is a Portland Oregon store (Fred's Sound of Music) that always demos it's Mani-2's with Bryston... | |
| What is the best regarded desktop speaker? Without a doubt, the best small speaker I've used on my desk is the Soliloquy Sat 5. It was designed as a set of rear speakers for home theater, but it uses the same drivers as the bigger and more expensive 5.0. The Sat 5 is a small sealed box, so... | |
| how old is too old when buying speakers? I bought a 10 year old pair of Spendor SP1's. Excellent speakers still. | |
| Anyone Own Gallo Due Speakers? I too owned the Dues and liked them very much. I only had them for a short time (in an apartment), drove them nicely with a Bryston B-60 integrated, and sold them because when I moved to my house there was no good place for them. They DEFINITELY r... | |
| demo cj 16, 17 and rogue 7B-ST's and a Rogue 99 non-magnum -- very nice in my place. | |
| Anybody have help me with wall MOUNTED speakers? Yeah, Gallo Dues with their sub are a very easy-on-the-eyes, zero floorspace solution. Sound is excellent and the whole thing can be had in good shape for a grand or so used. | |
| tube pre for bryston Another Rogue vote. I have a 99 (non magnum) with 7B-ST's. Very very good. | |
| what phono pre-amp to get? I have a Rogue 99 non-magnum with phono stage. Very nice.And I'd sell it for 1400 as vinyl is not compatible with my 18 month old. | |
| Personal speaker evolution Huge wood Sansui speakers with wood grills -- awesome for my teen years through college -- free from my brotherOhm bookshelf speakers -- decent because dirt cheap -- maybe $100 in 1983?ADS M9 -- loved these -- last speaker I had before audiophilia... | |
| money getting tight? Thanks to all...I guess I thought that the most relaiable way to price things right was to see what the lowest price on A'gon was for similar gear and then go as low or lower than the lowest. Hasn't seemed to help, so all your comments are very we... | |
| Loudspeakers that match well w/Bryston B-60? I used Soliloquy 5.0's to great effect. I'd get a used pair and a sub. Make sure to get the stands -- they are essential. I only got rid of them because I moved and they were heavy.I'm going to get a pair of older Spendors for a small room next.St... |
