| Proac Response 2.5 /Proac Response D15 suitable amps?? I didn't think my Vista Audio i34 35wpc push pull integrated was enough for my ProAc Studio 148 speakers at 91db efficiency. They sound much better and more controlled with my audio refinement separates with 125wpc. I liked the base much better wi... | |
| Sonus Faber Guarneri - will any aiddtional isolation be beneficial? I’m using some Soundocity SEV9 with my ProAc Studio 148s. Spikes to metal floor protectors on top of hockey pucks. Works very well with the bottom porting. Might put some thin granite slabs between the pucks and carpet | |
| Lehmann Black Cube SE or SE II or keep my Jasmine lp2 mkII? No one can comment on the differences between the Lehman SE I and II? | |
| Proac D48R Wow, autocorrect really worked against me on that last post. Glad my system is full tilt away from that working well and sounding great. | |
| Proac D48R I love my ProAc studio 148s with my audio refinement / YBA separates. They sound more tube like than the rogue cronus magnum or vista audio i34 integrates. Maybe one of yba's integegrateds? | |
| Lehmann Black Cube SE or SE II or keep my Jasmine lp2 mkII? Yes, but which Lehman SE, the I or II? Does the II have the separate power supply? | |
| Cabinet Colors ProAc just starting offering their cabinets in white. I am not a fan of piano black. Maybe white (not piano white) in the right Scandinavian themed room. I like my warm woods like cherry, dark cherry and mahogany. Love my ProAc studio 148s in ... | |
| ProAc sound with SS vs tubes @badri, I would recommend the following setup, which I am using with my Studio 148s, to possibly help tighten up the bass you are concerned about:Soundocity SEV9 outriggers:http://www.soundocity.com/economical_products.htmlI like them as they ar... | |
| ProAc sound with SS vs tubes I also home demoed a pair of Ascend Sierra Towers with the RAAL ribbons. Didn't like them even though a lot of people seem to rave about them. Did not have the punch, liveliness and lower end that the ProAc Studio 148s have. I think there is ... | |
| ProAc sound with SS vs tubes @badri, I think you will really like the Studio 148s. Strings, violin through double bass have great tonality and presence. Plus I was listening to a CBS Talking Heads demo LP and The Crystal Method’s latest LP last night and both just rocked goin... | |
| ProAc sound with SS vs tubes I recently demoed some ProAc D18s and some used ProAc Studio 125s. Both are lovely speakers but I heard a similar problem to the huffing / bottom end getting loose with both choices mentioned above. I decided to go out on a limb and have my ProA... | |
| Tube integrated amp under $1000 I have the following for sale - a very nice int tube amp for $550:http://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649257633-vista-audio-i34-integrated-amplifier-black-knobs/ | |
| Rogue Cronus Magnum (hum/noise) I demoed a Rogue Cronus Magnum and sent it back after I heard transformer hum and tube rush through the speakers. Plus my Audio Refinement separates sound more tube like than the Rogue ever did. | |
| Suggest affordable cable options I still think the OP should try the Mogami 2549 with ground lifted at one end (shotgunned - directional) with the Furutech 126(g) from Take Five Audio for less than $100 shipped nicely terminated and flex wrapped. | |
| Suggest affordable cable options I would recommend trying some Mogami 2549 with Furutech 126(g) gold connectors from Take Five Audio (in Canada, well made cables plus our US dollar is strong with them). Get the ground lifted at one end to make them shotguned / directional. Also t... |
