| used when promised new I withdraw my very first post. The item clearly stated "like New". No where in the ad does it say the item is "New in Box or Package." I do believe negative feedback was very unfairly left. Especially considering your explanation of their good con... | |
| Very tube-friendly monitor speakers? If you are looking for small, I would agree with the Soliloquy SM2A3, for larger applications, definitely look into the Coincident line. | |
| used when promised new I guess if it were me and I was happy with the condition, I might just send an email saying you were thinking new when you got excellent condition used. On a positive note, they might be broken in already. If you are happy with the cables, I don't... | |
| Speakers to pair with Arcam A65 plus under $600? A couple things. First, I have owned the CDM 1 NT's and really liked them. You can usually find them used for about 750. Or you can find the CDM 1 original version for about 600. If you don't want to go used look Monitor Audio Silver Series S1. A ... | |
| Wanted... Advice - Best Speaker for McIntosh Amp I think the 804's would sing with your setup. | |
| Best brand of cable for B&W N802? Try searching in the archives of this forum. There have been numerous threads on this subject. There may be some very useful info there for you. | |
| What is a "transmission line" speaker? The length of the port is usually determined by what frequency the cabinet is tuned to. Port length is usually a multiple of the sine wave that represents the frequency, for example, 35 Hz. The wave length of that particular frequency is divided u... | |
| What cables work well with B&W 801 Nautilus Spkrs? Transparent Cables. | |
| Any small monitors that dont sound thin and bright I would caution the PSB Stratus Mini's just because they need so much power to sound right. I owned them for a while, but didn't have any luck at all. Perhaps it was the wrong amplifier choice on my part. | |
| How do you properly break-in a pair of speakers? Burra hit it right on the head. Just play a disc or run the tuner. When I was breaking in mine, I just let it play whether I was home or not. Not at high volumes. I only listen at moderate volumes anyway. The more you listen during the break in pe... | |
| Out on the tiles...with speaker spikes. Linn used to make little feet for use underneath spikes, but I can't for the life of me remember what they are called. One of my friends uses them and they work very well. They seem to keep the speakers very stable. I would think you could pick up... | |
| Any small monitors that dont sound thin and bright The new meadowlark line is one to consider. Granted, not tons of bass, but the Swift does vocals very well. That is what I'm most critical of when listening, and I've been very happy. | |
| Need monitors with a BIG sound If you are looking at the Meadowlark Swallow, I would listen to the Swift. It's a great speaker, and actually smaller than if you put the Swallow on stands. It has a very small footprint and if you slide it back towards the wall, the bass will inc... | |
| Which components knocked you out on first listen? Levinson 383 with Revel Performa M20's. | |
| Reliability of Sonic Frontiers gear? I have not had SF gear, but Anthem. I had problems with both the integrated and also the pre amp. It sounds as though the sonic line didn't have these problems. Both units I had had volume pots that crackled as they were being adjusted. I had the ... |
