| Kimber 8TC or NBS King/Serpent speaker cables I love cheap giant killers. 8TC is a no-brainer. | |
| Good matching speakers for YBA Integre DT Congratulations on the YBA Integre DT. It is a wonderful integrated amp, very musical indeed. I've had a pleasant experience with the YBA Integre driving some B&W N805 speakers. The sound is warm and yet musical. Good luck. | |
| Primare I30 vs Krell KAV 400xi I've had the Sonus Faber Grand Piano speakers. I've tried 4-5 amps on that speaker including pre-power amps and the Krell KAV-300i came out top. I agree that Sonus Faber speakers go well with Krell amplification. Not too sure about the new Domus l... | |
| PMC TLE1 vs Velodyne DD-15 vs JL Audio f113 That's a tough choice. All of them are good subwoofers. The PMC TLE1 is the lesser known compared to the other two. I have this sub matched to my PMC main speakers. If your main speakers are not PMC, Velodyne and JL Audio may be a better choice. I... | |

| Studio monitors as Audiophile speakers ATC, PMC Any problem using studio monitors in a living room, if not why specifically designated as studio monitors?I don't know about other speakers but as Sashav has pointed out, the only difference between the professional(studio) and domestic speakers i... | |
| Integrated amp for B&W 805S under $1200? Congratulations on the 805S speakers. They are indeed wonderful speakers that will sound sublime given the right amplification. We know your budget is $1,200 but I agree with a few posters that suggested not to skimp on the amp. I have owned the N... | |
| Warm copper speaker cables under $500 new 07-24-08: TvadHaving read your submissions over the years, I believe it's safe to say that your definition of warm as it applies to audio is off the scale compared to how most readers would define warm if they heard the same cabling in the same sy... | |
| tubes with b&w You would certainly get fuller sound with tubes. I didn't use tubes with my previous N805 but a solid state Plinius amp and the sound was full and warm, in fact too warm for my tastes. | |
| "Budget" cable advice, please For your $100 budget for interconnect and $200-$250 budget for speaker cables, I would second the Kimber 4TC or 8TC for speaker cables. Interconnects....too many to choose from. Any cheap decent brand from a reputable manufacturer would do. Use st... | |
| Arcam Alpha Speaker Matching I have owned the Arcam Alpha 10 amp and Alpha 8 CD player. I used the Arcam to drive B&W CDM1SE speakers and the sound is pretty good although not spectacular. I would suggest getting some speakers that are easy to drive since the Alpha 9 or 1... | |
| Pat Metheny Fans, Great Suggestions Please ?? I see the ECMs are being released in Japan on SHM CD sometime in September. Could be interesting.I would appreciate if anybody can comment on the quality of an SHM CD vs. ECMs especially on "Offramp". I have the "Offramp" ECM CD and find the sound... | |
| How much money on speaker cable? I've gone from $1,200 Nordost SPM Reference to $300 Pure Note Cerulean speaker cables to finance a PMC subwoofer purchase. There was very little sacrifice in sound quality in swapping cables but a huge jump in sonics in adding the subwoofer. I wou... | |
| room treatment effectiveness I am fairly late in responding to this thread but here goes. Before I spend money on room treatment, I would like to hear of positve/negative experiences and whether the results are objectively measurable or merely subjective.We often hear that th... | |
| what is a right IC for my current setup 06-10-08: AudiofeilThe manufacturers and buyers of these products would like you to believe otherwise.I guess you meant, "The manufacturers and SELLERS of these products would like you to believe otherwise." Other than that, I do agree with your s... |
