| Jeff Rowland to what? French_fries,I'm okay and appreciate your contribution to the discussion. The Von Schweikert VR-55 are some of the best speakers that I've heard and I would buy them if I had the money.I'll be honest, after talking to a very good friend/dealer tha... | |
| Jeff Rowland to what? nevillekapadia,Thanks for your response. You may be correct, but sometimes it takes listening to other components to have an appreciation for what you already own. | |
| Jeff Rowland to what? pdreher,I had Audio Research years ago. The reason I'm staying away from tubes is because my amplifier is dual purpose. I use it for my 2-channel and to drive my fronts in my 5.1 surround sound system when watching television and movies. I don't t... | |
| Jeff Rowland to what? randy-11,I honestly appreciate suggestions, but I submit they’re more valid when the individual is familiar with the component they’re suggesting you replace. I post questions in hopes I receive suggestions that I haven’t thought of. If french_fri... | |
| Jeff Rowland to what? I've owned Wilson's, Aerial, Devore, Revel, and a couple more. Prior to purchasing the PL500 II's, I listened to Rockport Aviors, Raidho, Dynaudio, and Magico S5s. To "my ears", the aforementioned speakers can't touch the PL500 II's. What speaker... | |
| Jeff Rowland to what? jmcgrogan2,I submit I need as much power as the 625 S2, because my room is 20’ x 26’. I hesitate with Pass because they get so hot and I live in San Antinio, TX. I use my Rowland in my surround sound to drive my front speakers and I don’t want a h... | |
| Jeff Rowland to what? stringreen,You went from what Rowland components to what Ayre components? | |
| Monitor Audio Platnium II Plutos,I prefer PL500 to the Sopra and Utopias that I listened to. I can’t recall the Utopias that I heard, but they were between 30K - 50K. I prefer speakers that to my ears are neutral or on the slightly dark side of neutral and that’s why I lov... | |
| Monitor Audio Platnium II I’ve listened to the Sopra 2s, Utopia line, and I own PL500 IIs. I submit they’re different in the way they present details. The Focals remind me of Wilsons, were the sound comes at you; consequently they appear to be more dynamic. The PL500s have... | |
| Monitor Audio Platnium II I should have added that I had do order a new spike and thread. It took a little longer than I expected, but I'm glad Monitor Audio took care of me. | |
| Monitor Audio Platnium II After owning the Monitor Audio PL500 II's for a while, I finally spiked them yesterday. What a difference a spike makes! In my room, there is more air and it's easier to place instruments/singers in the sound stage. So, why did it take so long to ... | |
| Monitor Audio Audiotroy,I had the Gold C350 and now the PLC350 series 1 in my current set-up. Both are based on old technology. On certain movies, the differences between the Gold C350 and my PL500 II fronts were obvious. The differences have all but disappeare... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! I'm trying to get a hold of a pair of Bel Canto Ref 600s to compare to my Jeff Rowland 625 S2. May be time for a change. I'm curious to hear if they mate well with the Corus preamp. | |
| Center Channel I purchased a Marantz AV 7702 mkII and order the AT523NC 3-channel Amplifier. | |
| Matching surround speakers I just went through something similar. I purchased Dynaudio Contour C20s to go in a 5.1 system with Monitor Audio Platinum 500 II’s as my fronts and a Monitor Audio Gold C350 center channel. I wanted a better center channel, so I decided to sell t... |
