| Bargain power conditioners Just ordered the hts2000 from Globe-Mart for $125. Too bad shipping here to Canada is an addt'l $30. Still way ahead taking into account exchange as well as the list price here in Calgary, Alberta is $469 (cdn) and this one should cost about $250 ... | |
| Acurus versus Bryston, Classe, Etc. Sean - you have expounded on what I was thinking but did not take the time to "pen". When it comes to HT vs 2 channel I think there are more opportunities to use the "budget lines" for HT where many of the suttle nuances of the music is lost to th... | |
| Acurus versus Bryston, Classe, Etc. IMHO, its lower in quality than those you have mentioned. Good product but not in the same league. Of course now all the Acurus owners will jump all over me.... Hey its just my opinion.... | |
| Best small 2-way floorstander? (NT) | |
| advice for interconnects & spkr wires I had a similar system last year with Acoustat hybrids (like your ML's) and a Bryston 4B-ST amp. At the time I was using a Bryston BP-25 preamp and decided to try out Puresilversound silver IC's, which by the way have great reviews at Audioreview.... | |
| Adcom, B&K, or Rotel????????? I would take the B&K over Rotel & Adcom but what about others like McCormack, Bryston ST series, older Classe. All of these would be better than the B&K stuff (IMHO) - Maybe too high for your budget but worth a look as excellent option... | |
| Classe Cap 151 & Magnaplanar 2.7QR I agree - Silver brings out the highs but can be somewhat aggressive. See if you can borrow from a dealer or at least get a 30 day return policy. Good luck | |

| Blown Martin Logan SL-3 woofers While this is not a total answer I offer this comment. I owned a pair of Acoustat Spectra 11 hybrids (similar to the SL3's) and inquired with my local ML dealer as to the ability to purchase a ML 8" woofer thinking it would be a better quality dri... | |
| Is there an alternate to Martin Logans? While I agree with most of whats said here so far you have to realize that the 8" driver in your ML's can only go down so far. More power (but clean) from a great amp may bring you down lower than you are now. You do not memtion your amplifier so ... | |
| Amp for B&W 802N ? Heard the 802N with a YBA set-up and a Sim Audio W-5 and both were great. I would have to give the edge to the Sim - it just seemed to have more ooomph! Although both of these do not offer more power than your Classe they will offer a different so... | |
| Need Threshold, Bryston, Classe help I own a 4B-ST and I think its a great amp at its price point especially used prices with its great build, good sonics and the best warranty in the business. AS for how it compares - have not heard a Threshold in a long time so I would rather not s... | |
| Ship to USA only? Kleetch - as for PST/GST between private parties on used gear I believe there are exceptions. I purchased a used passive preamp from the US and as the value was in excess of $200 ($US) I had to pay GST (no PST as I live in Alberta)on that amount a... | |
| Ship to USA only? I too am Canadian but have had good results doing cross-border business - selling & buying. Remember, never us UPS as they will add in $40 for brokerage fees. Fedex includes this in their prices. While I agree that it can be a little more pape... | |
| Amp overload,! NAD 2600 & maggies 3.5 If you are looking at Bryston - get the 4B-ST - its a great piece and can be had used for around $1600. Pass on the 3B-ST - not enough power for your speakers IMHO. I've owned 4 ohm speakers (Acoustats & Maggies) for the last 10 years and my o... |
