For those familiar with Sonus Faber
I'm also interested in comparison of the Serafino vs Olympica nova line. From what I can tell, many people claim somewhere in these two lines is where the "real Sonus Faber sound" is, which I feel is a bit nonsensical. SF offers many speaker lines... 
Pass Labs XA30.8 for Dynaudio C1 Platinum
gareents thanks for the reply. I think I've seen more than enough evidence from users such as yourself that the xa30.8 would be fine for my current set of speakers. I guess the rest depends on just pulling the trigger and wanting to spend the fund... 
Pass Labs XA30.8 for Dynaudio C1 Platinum
audphile1 That's basically what I was thinking, but I learned long ago at an early stage in the audio hobby its better to overbuild a system as opposed to under estimate. Ideally I'd love to try the xa60.8 monoblocks, but I have a feeling they'd ... 
Pass Labs XA30.8 for Dynaudio C1 Platinum
Medium sized room but that really isn't the issue I have any concern over. I'm more or less interested in the output capabilities of the xa30.8. All too often I read that dynes like lots of power so I don't exactly want an amplifier to run out of ... 
Paradigm Studio sub 15 vs Paradigm signature sub 25
I've owned a few different paradigm speakers too in fact. Studio and signature models for the fronts and center channels, but I've since moved on from them. The sub 15 I have yet tho still impresses me for theater duties. I've been keeping my eyes... 
Scansonic mb3.5 vs mb5b
Thanks verdantaudio for the very informative reply. Based on everything you said it makes sense why the mb5b would be more costly than the mb 3.5b. As it is, cost wise the 3.5 would make more sense as I would just be experimenting with the scanson... 
Ok guys
Wow.. ok guys, from the sound of so many EXPERT opinions, do you think I should remove the top cover of my SACD and any/all my bluray players? From a few opinions, it sounds like if I let all my redbook CDs lie out in the open they should sound mo... 
Any cable delivers more bass than Cardas Golden Reference?
I dunno.. snake oil or not.. I think If u really want to believe something (in this case bass enhancing cables) enhances ur experience, by all means dive right In! The power of the human mind is quite extraordinary! 
Dynaudio Contour 30 vs Confidence C2 comparisons
I haven't once, not ever heard of lack of bass complaint on the C4. But I agree, for me it would be too big and tall. I may have switched my focus to the upcoming confidence 30.. unless I get an absolute steal for a pair of c2.. and even those are... 
Dynaudio Contour 30 vs Confidence C2 comparisons
Jmlm, would you care to delve into your thoughts on the kanta a bit more? Was it the kanta no. 2? I don't know much about focal other than they make use of beryllium tweeters since I've owned paradigm signature speakers with beryllium tweeters in ... 
Dynaudio Contour 30 vs Confidence C2 comparisons
I'm sure the bolero supremes sound amazing, I just don't think I could ever get used to the looks of them. To each his own, as they say! 
Dynaudio Contour 30 vs Confidence C2 comparisons
I dunno about the silverline audio bolero supremes.. they look awfully similar to some old school sony ss speakers that actually were legit, I just don't know about the looks anymore. These days, speaker manufacturers can make a loudspeaker functi... 
Dynaudio Contour 30 vs Confidence C2 comparisons
I still haven't been able to directly compare both lines, but I had made an inquiry about a contour 30 and the seller did say the confidence platinum line is the better line.. and followed that up by offering to order/sell me a pair of new confide... 
Dynaudio Contour 30 vs Confidence C2 comparisons
So recently I was able to sell off my paradigm signature s6 v3 and an svs sb13+ subwoofer for cold card cash. I want honest opinions and a no sales man approach. I still haven't heard a convincing argument of the confidence c2 vs contour 30. I alr... 
Dynaudio Contour 30 vs Confidence C2 comparisons
So being that this thread has bloomed into something more than it's title, what suggestions would anyone have for a dedicated 2 channel preamp to go with dynaudio confidence or the newer contour series? I'm not about to announce a TKO for my maran...
