| Which power amp Bryston 3Bst, 4Bst or Musical Fidelity A3cr? It's my opinion that Maggies do love current so the more power you can throw at them the better. My 4B-ST does a very nice job with my 1.5's - much better job than my 10 year old 3B did. While I have not heard the MF amp I would think that there w... | |
| Problem with speaker at higher volumes - answers???? Jimbo - Bryston website advises that the 3B has a damping factor of "over 500 @ 20Hz, ref. 8 ohms. For that matter the 4B is rated the same but the 7B is "300" as opposed to 500... not sure what this means or whether these are high, low or typical... | |
| Problem with speaker at higher volumes - answers???? Jimbo - the amp is a Bryston 3B-ST and while the Wharfedales are relatively inefficient ( I think somewhere around 86 db SPL rating) I would think the 3B with its ability for 200 w/ch @ 4 ohms would be enough - As I am unfamiliar with its "damping... | |
| Customs and Duties for non US Sales Here in Canada when using UPS for inbound items they will add in approx. $40 (cdn) for brokerage fees which they do not tell you in the quoted rate for shipment. I believe that FedEx covers these charges in the quoted rate and hence are more expen... | |
| Problem with speaker at higher volumes - answers???? Tx guys for your comments - seems logical to me. If he wants to keep the speakers would more power solve the problem or is it just a matter of reducing the volume? Changing the speakers to a more efficient model would no doubt help but he really l... | |
| EMC-1 vs. Levinson 360s/Sony SCD-1 Lorne - while this could be construed as somewhat off topic have you examined the possibility of modding the Sony? There seems to be a few people in the marketplace (Richard Kern, Dan Wright, Ric Shultz - no slight intended if I missed someone...)... | |

| Tube preamp with remote for 1K used David - tx for clarifying my post(brain to typing fingers translation lost something) - what I meant to say was that Rogue offers the 66 in either the phono or remote version and mine was the phono version. Possibly now there is a unit with both t... | |
| Tube preamp with remote for 1K used I second the Rogue - mine does a very nice job (no remote, has the phone section). You could possibly get a used one for around $700 and then talk to Rogue about the $250 Magnum upgrade - will put you right on budget... | |
| best power cable for bryston I have auditioned a few (but none of the big names such as Whale, Fim, Electraglide, etc.) on my 4B-ST had noticed no appreciable difference. I was willing myself to hear something better but alas I could not. Sometimes I keep things knowing that ... | |
| Opinions of Coincident CST interconnect? A great value and I had to spend considerably more money to better them. Patience will be req'd as they do take alot of time to break in... | |
| Biwiring This could be a difficult question to answer unless one has no faith in bi-wiring capabilities. While I am a believer in the benefits of bi-wiring I am a strong supporter of using the best cable one can afford. Its my opinion that a much better st... | |
| Where do you buy SACDs online? ...(nt) | |
| SACD Audio Equipment While I believe the 333ES 5 disc changer is a great value for the money $575 (and can be modded for about another $350) its my opinion that your system deserves better. I would either look for a deal on a 777ES or SCD-1 or maybe even better yet wa... | |
| $6000 Budget Which used Amp ? I second the SF Power 3 amp - heard the Power 2 and 3 2 years back driving Logans (SL3 I believe) and while the Power 2 did a nice job with the stats the Power 3 did a much nicer job, at least to these ears. I have owned hybrid Acoustats previousl... |
