| PK's Refurbished Quads in SoCal Can't help but thought I'd mention I'm a very satisfied Wayne Picquet customer. He did an amazing job on my 57's. | |
| SPEAKER SUGGESTIONS Call Walter at Underwood Hi Fi and buy a pair of Peachtree D5's. They are $999 and just a perfect speaker for the price. I'm using an SA8004 in one of my systems - nice deck. | |
| Quad ESL 57 with subwoofer If you can find a Janis 1W that setup works great with Quads. It has an outboard box/crossover, so what goes to the power amp is limited to whatever the crossover is. Puts less strain on the panels - a very good thing. I've had this setup, it's th... | |
| Dahlquist DQ-20 Fan club Rant I would pay an obscene amount of money for a new pair of DQ-10's. Yeah, newer isn't better - I'm listening to Quad 57's. If you want a new speaker try Magnepans, or if you have money to burn some of the high-end Vandersteens. I think the new maggi... | |
| Has any one heard the Essence 1600 Electrostat? I'm very interested in these as well. The pictures are discouraging - the silver metal sides make them look like a $29 lamp from Home Depot. I hope that's just the photo's and they look better in real life. | |
| What are the best speakers for 80's hard rock? ADS 810's. Or 910's. Or 710's. | |
| Anyone have/ordered the Job 225? Anyone used this on Quad 57's? | |
| What amplifier do you use for your Dahlquist DQ10s DQ-10's love big solid state amps and good tube amps. If I had a pair and a Perseus I would absolutely go for a Rogue Atlas Magnum. Ask Mark about putting KT150's in it. Most of the solid state stuff people are recommending here would be 'meh' wit... | |
| Audible Illusions M3B or L3 Here is the BIG QUESTION: AI Modulus are notorious for high gain making volume adjustments very hard to make - you can 'use up' the volume pot by 8:30. Now that it has stepped pots you get into the 'one click too loud, one too low' problem.So what... | |
| Promitheus and Wyred4Sound I have the M6PRX. It's a beast. Power forever and wonderful, warm, class AB sound. I also have a W4S 125wpc (well, really 100 below 1%thd) amp in another system. I've done the compare. The W4S is a wonderful, detailed, open amp. It sounds great an... | |
| New power amp for Quad 11Ls I ran a pair of 12L's with the little Kingrex amp. It sounded wonderful, but obviously not much power, as it was a 10wpc t-amp. Kingrex has a new 50wpc t-amp power amp for $799. 30 day trial from AudioMagus. I'd look into it. http://www.audio-magu... | |
| PMC and what electronics ?? I've owned a lot of PMC's, they are favorites of mine. Naim + PMC is a MAGICAL combination. | |
| Blue Circle amplifiers I've owned a CS and an NSCS. It's nice, but nothing remarkable. You want a remarkable integrated get a new Musical Fidelity A1. Aside from sounding a LOT better, it's half to one third the price. The Roksan Kandy is also a nice amp, comparable to ... | |
| What did you get after the Minimax pre ? Help me out here...the 'updated version'? What updates and when? If ARC updates a pre-amp it's from SP9 to SP9MKII or something like that. MiniMax is just 'oh, this is just the updated one'. Makes it hard to know which is which...Thanks for any in... | |
| The best small bookshelf speaker you ever heard? I guess you can't edit the Subject line at this forum, too bad. My last post was referring to the PMC DB1i. |
