| Proac or Sonus Faber Monitor Speakers I too agree with most that have been said here about the two speakers. They both are rather different in character, the Proacs being more accurate and truthful to the recording and the Sonus Fabers being more warm, colored and lush-sounding. It re... | |
| Which one defines sound: Pre amp or Power amp? Since nobody has responded to your question yet, I might as well bite. Before I give my opinion, I would like to highlight that both your options of adding the McIntosh to your existing setup are not too feasible as your other stuff(especially the... | |
| Bose lifestyle 48 About a decade ago I bought the Bose Acoustimass-10 at $1,200 which happened to be my first introduction to "high-end" speakers. The biggest mistake of my life. About 8 months down the road I auditioned the B&W CDM series speakers with Arcam a... | |
| Pat Metheny Fans, Great Suggestions Please ?? 07-12-08: RjaMy experience with the SHM CDs so far is, if the CD sounds excellent in the first place the SHM is frosting on the cake. If the CD doesn't sound Rja, thanks for the response although this post might be coming a little late. I've just ... | |
| paranoid listener-damaging speakers? At the end of the day it's your ears that determine the level of loudness they can take although measurements can be taken with an SPL meter on the range of dB you are getting. Everybody's tolerance towards loudness may not be similar. I would con... | |
| SONY TA-N9000ES I own the TA-E9000ES and TA-N9000ES. I don't think you need to run biamp configuration as your TA-N9000ES would provide sufficient power to 5 channels in your 600 series B&W speakers. I believe your Sony receiver has outputs to hook up your TA... | |
| What is your audio components pairing with Krell K Krell amps match well with Sonus Faber speakers. Glad it worked out for you. | |
| Speakers that disappear Just a side note, if you want the speakers to disappear, pay more attention to the room acoustics as this would help. Also, turn off the lights when listening and the disappearing effect would be larger. At least the speakers would disappear from ... | |
| Do Nordost match with B&W Your friend's description on Nordost sound coincides with my thoughts. I have not tried Heimdall but I have owned the higher-end Nordost Frey XLR interconnect. If you want more dynamics and better bass, consider the XLO Signature 2. The bass on th... | |
| How different between B&W 804s & B&W 805s???? Given the size of the room, I presume you will be placing your speakers along the long wall. My opinion is it is more worthwhile to upgrade your Marantz integrated amp to the McIntosh rather than going from the 805S to the 804S. I believe the 805S... | |
| How different between B&W 804s & B&W 805s???? Do you have a dedicated room? If you do, what is the size of the room? | |
| sweetest sounding ss integrated Third the YBA. I've listened to the YBA Integre and it's one sweet sounding integrated, very musical. For your 703 floorstanders, you might want to try the YBA Passion. | |
| for speakers b&w704 I second Facten's recommendation on the Classe. You can try the Classe CAP-151 integrated. Out of your 3 options, I would think your best bet would be either the Musical Fidelity or Arcam. The A38 is a fine piece and should be able to drive the 70... | |
| bullet proof amp I don't know whether Bryston 4B-ST can be considered as vintage. I remember reading some comments about these amps being used in some night clubs and discos by DJs, and that cigarette butts are discarded on top of them and drinks spilt on them, an... | |
| Are the JL Fathom subs really that good.... In general, I agree with all responses here in that it's all about setup when integrating subs into a 2-channel system. If the setup is not done properly, one will feel that subs will not bring any appreciable or beneficial results when the sound ... |
