B&W 805 models...
Is the 805S better than or equal to the 805 signature? 
Tube amp for Quad 989???
I ended up getting the Quicksilver V4. It sounds fantastic. Listening enjoyment is a very personal thing. What makes me happy may be completely different than someone else. I've been a hobbiest for almost 30 years. I find the Quads to suit my tast... 
Best HT subwoofer betwwen $2k-3k?
WOW! This seems to be the Velodyne fan club! My room size is 17x25. the ceilings are angled, and 2 of the walls have a lot of windows on them. This will stricktly be used for HT. I appreciate your comments and will begin looking at the Velodyne. I... 
Quad 988 in 15' x 12' room
I've got my 989's about 3' from the front wall and about 2' from the side walls. My listening position is about 8-9' from the speakers. The sidewalls present no problem. I wish I could have the speakers out another foot, but it sounds great as it is. 
Quad 988 in 15' x 12' room
I just bought a pair of Quad 989's. My room is 16x 13x11. The speakers sound fantastic. How tall are your ceilings? I was told that it's cubic space more than square footage. It should work. 
Quad 989s--personal experience and opinions?
I purchased a pair last week. My room size is 16x13x11. I'm driving them with a YBA Passion integrated at 100 watts per channel. Based on my reading I was expecting them to be difficult. I have found this not to be the case. They need to be fine t... 
Mcintosh vs Parasound
Here's the next question I have. As I said the YBA sounds wonderful. The sound is clear and transparent. It's only 100WPC. The speakers I have are about 90db. will these amps with their increased power make a big difference? My room size is about ... 
Mcintosh vs Parasound
I hope to Listen to both amps in the next few weeks. The write ups on both have been pretty impressive. It does get confusing reading all of the articles and information. It sounds as if both are great! 
Going to take the plunge on JM Lab Micro Utopia Be
I had them paired with the Cray SLI80 integrated. it sounded great. i heard them with manley and that also sounded wonderful. I think they'll work with most tubes. 
Going to take the plunge on JM Lab Micro Utopia Be
I am an owner of the old Micros. i have heard the new ones and agree with your taste. JM Lab products match up very well with YBA, Sim Audio, and they love tubes! i did put a REL Storm with my micros to fill in the bottom end. 
Talon Ravens vs. JM Lab Mezzo Utopias??? comment
I've heard them and they don't have the weight that I'm looking for. To be honest the micros with a sub sound better. 
Review: Harmonic Precision Caravelle Monitor
Warren, we have very similar taste. Every piece of music you mentioned I also have and use to test my systems. I also own the YBA Passion amp. I read your reviews and they were accurate. I currently own the JM Lab Micros(old ones) now. I use them... 
Kharma, Wilson Sophia, JM Labs I'm confussed????
I'm actually living in Texas after living on both coasts. I apprciate the offer though. My boat's name was SEA2 so I can remember it. I traded the boat on a major Home Theater system about 5 years ago. My first endeavor into Hi End sound. I enjoy ... 
Kharma, Wilson Sophia, JM Labs I'm confussed????
I have put in dedicated 20 amp lines to the room. I also run everything through a PS audio power plant. The room has had extra insulation, and I'm having my audio guy tune it a little more. The truth is I'm greedy. The set up sounds fantastic toda... 
what's the best "mini monior" these days
I'M STUNNED THAT NOBODY INCLUDED ANY OF THE JM LAB PRODUCT. I HAVE THE MICRO UTOPIAS AND THERE ARE MORE. ABS JUST RATED THE NEW 906'S VERY HIGHLY ALSO. MY HOME THEATER USES THE N805'S AND THEY ARE A GOOD SPEAKER. FOR MUSIC THE JM LABS BLOWS THEM A...
