| Are you getting the bass you deserve? @sounds_real_audio “Every speaker and every sub have to be set up to the room, to row music you listen.” +1 Cheers, Scott | |
| Are you getting the bass you deserve? @sounds_real_audio Only by adding two subs did I get the bass I was looking for and also the overall sound I wanted to achieve. I could have avoided a lot of frustration over the years by adding subs. I also found that using them in a way th... | |
| My Home Theatre Room Challenges - Is It Worth It To Upgrade Speakers @hikerneil +1 For soix’s suggestion of adding a sub to your setup. Cheers, Scott | |
| Herron VTPH-2 added to system (almost) @islandmandan Exciting times ahead I’m sure, Dan. Nothing like a new piece of gear, enjoy. Cheers, Scott | |
| What was the most impactful addition to your system? @wfowenmd In nearly twenty years of hanging out at Audiogon I can’t recall ever browsing the Best Of category. So I kinda stumbled on to this thread. I want to simply say that like you adding a pair of subs has been the most impactful addition ... | |
| Best subwoofer for £300 The Bowers and Wilkins ASW608 comes in at £349. It gets high marks for how well it performs for music. I have two coming to add to my system in the next couple of days. I hope they live up to the reviews. Good luck with your search. https://www.r... | |
| Power Amp Recommendations for B&W 803 Nautilus @lmadari The Rotel RB-1590 is a great amp and bang for your buck (relatively).;-) It would be fantastic with your B&W It was a crapload of money for me but I love mine. It works great with my B&Ws. A used one would be in your budget an... | |
| Tube Preamp for Pass XA25 under $3,000 +1 @hilde45, The deHavilland Ultraverve is excellent. Cheers, Scott | |
| Need separates for MA Gold 100. Alternatives to Parasound P6/A21+, please! You’re welcome. Oh yeah, the RB-1582 MKll would do a great job as well with MA Gold 100s. Combining it with the RC-1590 MKll would be an excellent setup. Both the Rotel and the Parasound would have no problem with the MAs. They both have excellen... | |
| Need separates for MA Gold 100. Alternatives to Parasound P6/A21+, please! The P6/A21+ combination is an excellent combination. I enjoyed auditioning them. Can’t go wrong with Parasound. You might want to also look into the RC-1590/RB-1590 pairing from Rotel. When I was looking to upgrade like yourself it was down to... | |
| Advice? Less than $4k, solid state preamp, neutral to gentle @hilde45 Oh man, I get it. I got one in college and a senior in high school. That’s why I can only suggest that people get a Michi P5 for their system and there isn’t one in mine.🙂 I have the Schiit Freya S in my system and it is very good. You... | |
| Advice? Less than $4k, solid state preamp, neutral to gentle With a $4k budget (even with a higher budget) I’d go with the Michi P5 by Rotel. It’s been getting great reviews. Btw, I had the deHavilland UltraVerve, what a great pre. Really wish I still had it. Good luck with your search. Cheers, Scott ht... | |
| BOOKSHELF SPEAKER RECOMMENDATION The Bowers & Wilkins 705 S3 would go great with your Hegel. Cheers, Scott | |
| Speaker Suggestions $30K Sasha DAW competitor? Lots of good suggestions. If you get a chance check out the Bowers and Wilkins 802 D4 or 801 D4 (just a bit over budget). Good luck in your search. Cheers, Scott |
