| Wilson CUB I Well… didn’t get a response, and now the listing is gone. Hope some audiophile out there lucked out on a $500 pair of CUBs. sorry for wasting y’all’s time. | |
| Wilson CUB I @rsf507 they’re about a four hour drive, but I’m game. Just waiting for a reply to my email. I dunno, the price was low enough that it occurred to me that someone might just be trolling audiophiles. Seen that before. We’ll see. | |
| Wilson CUB I Well, I emailed the guy, so I guess I’ll find out what the deal is… @audiotroy I don’t know, my amp makes something like 400wpc into a 4ohm load. I’d hope that’d be enough. @boxer12 Nothing especially illustrious. I have an LS25 MKII feed... | |
| Wilson CUB I @boxer12 Any idea how they would do in a small room/midfield setup? These are substantially cheaper than $2k… so much so that I’m a lil suspicious… Anyway, thx for the reply. | |
| Bought an Audio Research Amp @ghdprentice Everything I do in this hobby I have to do on a pretty tight budget. My friends all think I’ve lost my mind when they hear how much I’ve invested in my meager system. Having said that, you’re kind of making me wish I’d taken a chanc... | |
| Wilson CUB I Oh, and they’d be paired with ARC gear of similar vintage, if that’s relevant. | |
| Bought an Audio Research Amp @dhite71 I went to the ARC website and found the same list you posted. Thanks for that. I noticed that neither the d200 nor the d300 are on that list, which is curious, as they are the lower powered contemporaries of my d400. Also interesting is... | |
| Bought an Audio Research Amp @riaa_award_collectors_on_facebook Any idea which parts are considered unobtanium, and how prone they are to failure? Or any sort of preventative maintenance that could extend the life of my amp? @ghdprentice Thanks, that is indeed informativ... | |
| Bought an Audio Research Amp @roxy1927 As a real rookie in this stuff, I don’t really feel qualified to offer advice. At the risk of making an absolute fool of myself, I’ll conjecture that it’s a vague possibility that your Pass Labs may share some distant design lineage wi... | |
| Bought an Audio Research Amp @ghdprentice I’m finding that I tend to prefer a more cool/neutral sound; whatt I’ve read about the Sonus Faber sound tends to use words like “warm” “dark”and “lush”. Has that been your experience? @fsonicsmith Well that’s disconcerting… it... | |
| Bought an Audio Research Amp @richopp I guess I probably should have mentioned my room… it’s tiny. 14’x12’. My speakers are about 6’ apart, 18” off the rear wall, and my listening position is about 5’ from the speakers. I’m guessing magneplanars need more room to breathe th... | |
| Bought an Audio Research Amp @wharfy My taste in music has become pretty diverse. When evaluating a new piece of equipment I tend to play Dire Straits’ “Communique”, Natalie Merchant’s “Tigerlily”, and Fleetwood Mac’s “Rumor’s”, but TBH the music I spend the most time with ... | |
| Bought an Audio Research Amp Hey, thanks for the kind words, guys. I really am loving it right now with my system. @ghdprentice Some of your comments RE the synergy between ARC components were influential in convincing me to pull the trigger, even though they weren’t direc... | |
| The new LSA Signature 50 Monitor "Disruptive Product" It looks like the 10’s are no longer listed on the Underwood website. I’m curious about the upcoming Signature 80’s… Cabinets look similar to Legacy Studio. Moving from the rear radiator to a more conventional rear bass-reflex port is interesting... | |
