| Which adcom sounds best? Designed by Nelson Pass, the GFA 555 is the best in that series. The GFA 565 monos are good sounding too. You may also like some of the earlier B&K amps. | |
| What is a really good sounding low volume system?? Atmasphere, I was just looking at High Emotion Audio's website. It looks like the speakers and subwoofer will typically cost $10,000. Is this correct? | |
| What is a really good sounding low volume system?? "Perhaps, depending on what one considers loud. But, so what? The OP is not concerned about loud, he needs to play music softly."Listening at low levels over long periods of time will only make the average audiophile anxious for the opportunity wh... | |
| B & W Matrix 801 S3 and tube amplifier There are a lot of good amps. The trick is finding the right match. | |
| What is a really good sounding low volume system?? B_limo, Are you serious? | |
| What is a really good sounding low volume system?? "I would heed Atmasphere's advice."What advice? To buy his amplifiers? "they like to played at medium-high levels to sound fully fleshed out and to not sound very dynamically polite." You just described all speakers to some degree. However, it dep... | |
| B & W Matrix 801 S3 and tube amplifier Pvctor, The Levinson amplifiers I recommended are outstanding with 801 Series 3 speakers. The only thing better is Levinson Class A monos, but you will not find them within your budget. The only Parasound to consider is the JC models (John Curl) w... | |
| What is a really good sounding low volume system?? B_limo, Be aware of these brands you never heard of. Obviously they have poor distribution and there is a good chance that when you need assistance or parts they will no longer be in business. More brands of stereo equipment have come and gone tha... | |

That's what you'd do at home. Then if you are comparing another component of... | |
| What do you expect a reviewers system to be "The one oddest thing is when reviewing an item: the first one broke, the second one broke"That item is now history. Would you buy it knowing that companies QC does not exist? This tells me that manufacturer is not one of the magazines favorite ad... | |
| B & W Matrix 801 S3 and tube amplifier "“This amp is a copy of the Williamson circuit from 1947 without the driver stage. Not very quick and average bass performance."This is just the opposite of what the 801's 12" woofer needs to sound its best. | |
| Better sounding after 1 hour Tube electronics changes more quickly than solid state making tube warm up more obvious. I have owned tube electronics that warmed up in an hour and solid state electronics that has taken as long as 3 days. | |
| B & W Matrix 801 S3 and tube amplifier I recommend Mark Levinson for the 801 series 3. You should be able to pick up a 23 or 23.5 in your price range. If you go with Levinson you will want to sell your CJ preamp and look for a Levinson preamp. |
