| Speaker for low volume listening with high WAF Thanks for all the suggestions...I'm going to head for New Orleans next week to see what I can find at the 2 local high end stores with a short list of speakers that you all were kind enough to recommend. | |
| Speaker for low volume listening with high WAF Forgot to add that the speakers recommended should be capable of quality sound even if they are place within 12 inches of a wall...Thanks | |
| Speaker for low volume listening with high WAF I wish I could keep the big speakers but going from 4500 sq ft to 1200 sq feet just makes it impossible. I also agree with my wife that the place we bought has such a unique elegant look that large speakers would take away from the ambience. The F... | |
| Speaker for low volume listening with high WAF Thanks for the responses I did hear the Gallo 3.1's at one of the NY shows and was impressed. | |
| Modwright Sony ES9000 vs. Lector 7P I own a Lector player and I can attest to it's wonderful sound. In it's stock form it handily beats the MSB reference cd station III. I had both on hand and the Lector is definitely more musical and involving. It is the most analog sounding player... | |
| Rowland Amps with MBL Speakers vs. All MBL System After listening to the all MBL system at HE2005, if in the budget, I would keep it all MBL. Why change anything that can sound this terrific. The 116 speakers were absolutely more musical than any speaker I have auditioned in it's price range (in ... | |
| Eastern Electric Mini Max Preamp - WOW I love mine to. My Hovland HP 100 is collecting dust. | |
| Tube amp for ML Prodigy's I can recommend the McIntosh MC2000 as I have used that combo with great results. Just as important (in my opinion more important)is the preamp. I'm auditioning one right now that is incredible sounding with my MC2000. It's called the Minimax and ... | |
| Audio Note-Ref II-CAT Ultimate-or Joule Electra I'm presently auditioning a new preamp called the Minimax. This preamp is really special and a bargain compared with all the above. It's very simple with just 3 tubes and 3 inputs (probably why it sounds so good). Extremely musical, dynamic and in... | |
| lamm ml2 with wilson watt 6 or 7? No experience with the Lamms, but if you really want to hear the watt puppies sing, give them quality high output tube power. I use the Manley REF 500 monoblocks with my 6.0's & they sound terrific. Wilson used VTL 750 monoblocks to debute the... | |
| Have you had buyers/sellers back out of a deal? Just my two cents...If someone commits to either buy or sell, they should honor their commitment. Exceptions being the person you are dealing with is unresponsive or very difficult to deal with. I also feel that if you have a bad experience you sh... | |
| ONE shot to show off your System's Stuff Vinyl would be the M&K Realtime Label direct to disc "For Duke", selection "Take The A Train". CD would be JVCXRCD "88 Basie Street" or the JVCXRCD2 Dire Straights "Brother In Arms"(Money For Nothing/I Want My MTV is terrific on this disc). Wi... | |
| Wilson Audio Sophia I can't comment on the Sophia's but I can attest to the wonderful sound of the Watt/Puppy 6.0's. It took me 4 months to achieve system synergy, but it was well worth the effort. Hook these up to a pair of Manley Ref 500's and you are there. The so... | |
| Jazz Recommendations Here's 2 of the BEST. Go to the website WWW.DCCBLOWOUT.COM and buy the M&K label dual album gold cd entitled "For Duke" & "Fatha" while you are there, pick up the DCC CD title "A Portrait of PeeWee" Both of these are on sale for $17.99 &am... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? I've heard many great speakers including numerous ones I've purchased. However, what I personally find affects the overall sound of a high end system the most is the quality of the recording. Yes, you can use the same media and easily perceive dif... |
