| best solid state integrated to match with B&W 685s The new Rotel is a winner. | |
| 1st setup failed, need advice for B&W N805 amp Why why why? To think that a $500 amplifier tacked onto the back of a Decco should be able to do justice to a highly regarded $2,800 stand mounted monitor speaker seems a bit optimistic. In my experience a like priced or higher piece (or pieces) o... | |
| best solid state integrated to match with B&W 685s A new Rotel 15 series integrated at 60 watts will be perfect for those. Read the review in the last issue of Absolute Sound and he pretty much nails it. Use the Wadiaplain analog outputs until you can swing a Dac to go with it and you will be fine... | |
| Audio Research LS 26 or Cary SLP 05? Whitish? Analytical? Not adjectives I would use in describing the ARC LS26. At all. Gorgeous neutral tonality, solid and palpable focus, clean, clear, smooth...that is what I hear time and again from this preamplifier.I have not heard the particul... | |
| Owners ProAc D38 - what components at you? Man. You would have to get into some serious Audio Research or something equivelant to have better sound than what you are experiencing. I would think that an Audio Research Ref 110 with an LS26 would give all that tubes can offer for that speaker... | |
| Naim Supernait vs XS vs Exposure 2010s *s* I believe that is from the UK...cheeky and fun bunch over there I say. | |
| Naim Supernait vs XS vs Exposure 2010s Yes. They can power their cd players also and sound amazing in the process. In fact the Flatcap 2xs can power both a Nait XS and a CD5XS at the same time. It is the only power supply in their line that can power 2 components at once. | |
| Sugden - Electrocompaniet - Naim - Accuphase In answer to your simple question whether the 30 watt Sudgen will drive the 805s to high levels with rock, etc.No. | |
| Naim Supernait vs XS vs Exposure 2010s If you could enlighten us on the differences insound between the flat cap and high cap it wouldbe most appreciated. Not sure if that is directed at me or not but...If you are going from a bare CDX2 it is: Good, better, best. Well actually not best... | |
| Naim Supernait vs XS vs Exposure 2010s "Even with these minor criticisms the DeVores being fedby Naim seduced me into listening for hours beforebuying the Super 8's. I have been in this hobby fora long time and have listened to a lot of systems costingin the 100,000 $ range and this ty... | |
| Sugden - Electrocompaniet - Naim - Accuphase Can't say about the Sudgen. I do know that the Naim Super Nait is more than powerful enough for the B&W 805's. Open, dynamic, musical, inviting, involving and definately NOT fatiguing.How the Naim gear has gotten it's rep for cold or fatiguing... | |
| Naim Supernait vs XS vs Exposure 2010s First a disclaimer; I am a Naim dealer so I am a bit biased towards Naim in general.I agree (mostly) with Mr. Bargers comments above vis a visthe XS and Super Nait. Not having heard the new Exposures I can't comment on them (I did like the older o... | |
| Who has heard the Audio Research CD5? Superb. | |
| What amplification is best for JMLab Mini Utopias Get some Naim and get off the merry go round.Most importantly....find a dealer. Find one that will let you borrow at least 2 options both in integrated and seperates. If you start to have a reccuring dislike with what you are hearing from the Foca... | |
| Pairing McIntosh with B&W CM7s It's ok. Both Audio Research and Naim make integrateds that mate up better with those speakers in my opinion.The Supernait from Naim is STUNNING with B&W's. |
