| A'gon Classified or Auction - Which do you prefer? I would always sell via classifieds, but I look at both when buying. | |
| Active studio monitors. Nobody has them. Why? Many studios mix with B&W, Acoustic Energy, Celestion, ATC, and Roy at Green Mountain said that there's been a great studio demand for their Europa speakers, so I think it's a stretch to say 90% of studios master with genelecs. | |
| Coldplay's "A Rush of Blood to the Head" I have both of their albums on CD and the compression is terrible. Probably done when mastering ... it seems to be popular to compress the hell out of albums when mastering CDs.I was somewhat underwhelmed with the music also. If that's the best th... | |
| $800-$1500 Integrated amps with a subwoofer output Suits-me makes a very good observation. Running a long set of interconnects from a passive preamp can audibly affect the frequency response (due to cable capacitance), so it would be better to get an integrated with an active preamp if you want to... | |
| $800-$1500 Integrated amps with a subwoofer output Connecting a sub in parallel to the speaker terminals had absolutely no effect on the sound quality of the main speakers for me. The signal to the main speakers doesn't go through the subwoofer ... it is passed unfiltered.I use Densen B100,REL str... | |
| $800-$1500 Integrated amps with a subwoofer output What do you mean by a sub. output ? Do you mean an output that passes only low frequencies ? I've never heard of this though I guess it could exist. Is it for music or HT ?Some subs (REL) are connected to the speaker terminals, so all integrated a... | |
| Speakers for a small room, looking for feedback I have compared Spendor S3/5s to Green Mountain audio europas and found the spendors sounded veiled, lacked transparency, and did not convey a sense of space like the europas. The S3/5 sounded nice, but the europas sounded real.The europas are ver... | |
| time for a new system...what though Green mountain europa monitors ($1000 new),Densen B-100 amplifier ($1000 demo from www.audiooutlet.com).I used to play in a band and we were in and out of a local studio over several years. The above amp-speaker combo I currently own is the closes... | |
| Revel Salons - Do they really sound like this? If you like the Dunlavy sound you might want to see if you can demo some Green Mountain Audio speakers, since they are designed with the same time-coherent philosophy as the dunlavys. The bigger ones look rather ugly , but by all accounts offer th... | |
| Inexpensive Integrated for GMA Europas The Europas are fantastic speakers, but need good stands, and good distance from rear walls (I own a pair).I'm driving mine with a Densen B100 and the sound is terrific, but that amp, even used is a bit beyond your price range.The europas are 4 oh... | |
| Jazz Recs for Classical Music Fan - Challenging I'm a big fan of romatic era classical music ... Brahms, Schumann, some Beethoven etc etc.My favourite jazz disc is "Our man in Paris" by Dexter Gordon (tenor sax) on the Blue Note label.The recording is very natural, dating from the 60s.There is ... | |
| Best used Red Book Player for Rock-N-Roll If you go to pinkfishmedia.net (UK's unofficial naim board) you'll find many posters have dumped Naim players for Densen B400 CDP. It's only available in the US via audio outlet in NY state (www.audiooutlet.com), and I've never heard it myself (th... | |
| Cyrus amps - what do they sound like? I don't think that they're colored. They are, however, very dynamic, and bursting with energy. Very enjoyable.The add-on power supply was, in my opinion an extremely well thought out design, especially if you use the builtin (and very good) phono ... | |
| CD player - new generation? Which computations ? A 20 bit DAC gives 120dB dynamic range .. greater than ANY analogue, and greater than any amplifier is capable of reproducing. Bob Stuart of Meridian gave a paper saying that any more than 20 bits is a waste, and DVD-audio (wh... | |
| speaker upgrade I'd say Green Mountain Audio Europas would probably fit the bill. I just replaced some Spica Angelus and the green mountains are the best monitor speaker I've ever heard (not that I spend much time in dealers, though).Plus they're designed and bui... |
