| And the "Best" Dynaudio monitor is...? Color me crazy, but I feel that the current Focus 140 is a dynamite bookshelf speaker for the money. That said, I agree with the majority here re the C1's. They're first-rate monitors. | |
| Best amps for Totem hawks?? please help This one's easy.On the affordable side: you'll want to get into either the Rega Mira 3 or the Vista Audio i34.On the more expensive side of town, the BAT VK300x or the Blue Circle FtTH integrated amplifiers will get the job done well.The key is fi... | |
| Totem The One or Dynaudio Contour S1.4 I'd take 'The One' and pair it with the Naim XS. That's just me though. To these ears, if your looking at a set of Dynaudio monitors, you have to step things up to the Dynaudio C1's to give 'The One' some serious competition.Either way you fly, I'... | |
| Driving 1 ohm For $2000, the H2O Audio Signature 100 can drive a 1 ohm load with no sweat. Hell, they can handle the vaunted Apogee Scintilla with absolute ease. There aren't too many (great sounding) and truly affordable power amp's that can make such a claim. | |
| Which class d amp? There are only three class D amp's I've come across yet that I'd consider truly up to par for two channel performance:H2O Audio Signature 100Spectron Musician III Mk2Red Wine Audio Signature 30.2's (or 70.2's)This is not to say that I have heard i... | |
| I want to upgrade from Polk rti28's Polk Audio LSi-7's or Paradigm Studio 20's should fit the bill nicely. They sound quite different from one another, with the LSi's being a tad more refined and warm, whereas the Paradigms are more open, dynamic, and lively. Both are great speakers... | |
| Integrated Amp - Looking to replace my amp & pre Bob,What are your current speakers? What type of sound are you looking for? Are there any features that are important to you, or can you live with a more 'purist' piece? | |
| Karan KA I-180 vs Gamut DI-150 Hello Andrew,This is my personal take on the two. I'll begin with the GamuT. The DI-150 is a fine integrated. I personally feel that its the prettier of the two and from a cosmetics standpoint, you feel you're getting a bit more with the GamuT tha... | |
| Totem Owners.... LtLeo74 may be right. I recall speaking to the boys at Totem about the very same thing. Although I coulda swore I was told that Dynaudio drivers were used in the Wind, I cannot say so with absolute certainty. On that note; anyone check out the "li... | |
| Integrated amp for Totem Sttaff It's been a number of months since I've come back to the thread. First things first:DMG. As Lush stated, Krell and Totem do not go together well at all.MxWizard. I'm not positive if you're situation is... what amp you've ended up with or if you st... | |
| $5000 integrated budget: Please help me choose.... To my ears - I'd narrow it down to either the Jadis or the Karan. | |
| Totem Owners.... Nasaman,All of Totem's columns are mass-loadable (arro, sttaf, hawk, forest, - and I believe the Wind's are as well). The benefit of mass loading, in this case, has more to do with stability (to help prevent them from tumbling over) than gains in ... | |
| Big Karan amps The only Karan product I have experience with is the KA I-180 integrated. In fact, the unit is sitting on my rack as I type. This has been its home for what is approaching a year now  and for a self admitted audiophool whose listening space is a... | |
| Need $1500 integrated amplification suggestions... I believe TY is using the NAD M3 integrated with his products. | |
| Totem Owners.... You know, my post history is going to show nothing but a stream of responses to Totem threads. Hmm, I guess that makes me a bona fide fanboy. Hmm, where's the koolaid?Nasaman,One of the things I like about the Totem line is that there is no define... |
