| Canton Reference 9.2 with Arcam A85 underpowered? Nadman,I read your original post again and apologize for not paying more attention the first time. You said that the speakers and amp sound great together. So the short answer is that you certainly don't need to change anything based on the specs ... | |
| Canton Reference 9.2 with Arcam A85 underpowered? Erik,I primarily want to say that the first two replies are right on target. And particularly, if you like the sound, there's no need to change a thing based on the specs about which you were concerned.However, if you are looking to make a change,... | |
| Merlin TSM comparisons Bobby,Thanks for your follow-up, and like you I think it is good to clear the air, so thanks for following through on that. I wasn't intending to be secretive about the fact that I had once owned the SE or had heard the MMi at a friend's house. In... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Volleyguy,Wow! Thank you for your responses. I had kept the original internal wiring and only changed the capacitor and resistor. I had been reluctant to change the inductor or internal wiring, but do you have some wire in mind?Also, I hate to adm... | |
| Merlin TSM comparisons Bobby:(1) In no thread have I ever questioned the veracity of another members advice as Robbob did with me.(2) In no thread have I ever asked another member to qualify his advice as you did with me. I did not mention which version because in my o... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Volleyguy and Irish65:I wanted to thank you both for your responses. I am going to place my order for a pair of the new CAST resistors today. Duelund is going to make them a little shorter and wider than the standard offering so that they'll fit b... | |
| Merlin TSM comparisons Rebbi: I posted my reply because you asked for alternatives to the TSM, and I gave you one. That Robbob and BobbyPaldovich feel that they are policemen for this thread is out of line. The Canton Reference 9.2 speakers are indeed viable alternative... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I have one other question that I'd like to ask this group. In my speakers I am using Mundorf S/G/O and Mundorf M-Resist Supreme resistors. As I mentioned in my previous post I am planning to replace the S/G/O cap with VSF copper, but am also wonde... | |
| Silverline SR17.5 crossover modifications? Earlier this week I ordered a pair of Duelund VSF copper capacitors to replace the Mundorf S/G/O in my 17.5s.My goal is to move from "slight top-end emphasis" to "tonal balance near perfection" as Tony Gee wrote.It may take a while to receive the ... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I have Mundorf S/G/O in my speakers but am going to replace them with Duelund VSF copper. I ordered the VSFs earlier this week. If I had room in my speakers I would have opted for the CAST copper capacitors.Having lived with the S/G/O for the past... | |
| Merlin TSM comparisons I owned a pair of Merlin TSM speakers and changed them out of my system for a pair of Silverline SR17.5s. The SR17 Supreme speakers which replaced the 17.5 in the product line are $6,000, so that is a different league from the Merlins. At a price ... | |
| how to side-grade from B&W 805's? It would be an upgrade from the B&W's, but the Silverline SR17 Supreme ($6k) would be worth auditioning. | |
| Rogue vs ARC Dgarretson,Thank you for your reply, and you raise some very good points. I don't know why he had the experience he did, but it may indeed just have been an outcome of ARS' brief foray into SS. And to support your comment about good circuit design... | |
| Rogue vs ARC An Audio Research D350 came into my local shop recently to be sent out for repair. The owner had called ARC to arrange for them to repair it but they said that it was never a very good amp to begin with and recommended that he just buy something n... | |
| Rotel RB-1090 v. Aragon 8008BB I would go with the Aragon or the PMA. The PMA is a great integrated amp. Very musical and delivers very high current.I'd Nix the Rotel from your list, and I'd punt the Rotel preamp too. |
