| Best preamp under 5k for Krell amp justin, see my 1st post above - i think melos preamps are *wery* nice. if the ma-333/music-director is too costly (~$2k used), thry the sha-gold/maestro, ~$1k used. even my thiel 3.5's, run from an integrated amp, driven by the tape-out of my melo... | |
| Plinius m16 vs. Bat VK 5i i can't speak for the plinius or the bat, but if yure looking for bass, yule not be disappointed by the melos ma-333 (music director), or at a lesser price, the sha-gold (maestro). i have a music-director, and it's a great tube pre, w/remote for v... | |
| Pipedreams... Any thoughts? hi rcprince, as the owner of the most recent wersion of the melos ma333 preamp (the music-director), i humbly submit it *is* up to "that level" of equipment as the lamms. not that i'm biased, or anything! ;~) melos used to be paired w/the pipedre... | |
| The best and worst Audiogon poster's yes, al, one of the audio rags did an article about him & his company a while back. which is why it reminded me knida of ludwig van - he kept at it, even after he lost his hearing.regards, dougps - i agree w/sol - yure a class-act. | |
| Soundstage - Too much? soundstage *depth* is a whole 'nother issue - but basically similar tings are happening: ya wanna optimize the speaker placement w/the wall behind 'em, usually it's a compromise w/floor-standers & monitors on stands: further from the back-wall... | |
| Best preamp under 5k for Krell amp hi audiocaptain,funny, i thought the melos music director was the best preamp, period... ;~) regards, doug | |
| Looking for advice hi stvr,ok, shameless plug-time - buy my electrocompaniet aw100 amp i have adwertised f/s on a-gon - i doubt there's anything as nice for my asking price. much warmer than typical solid-state, w/o losing what s/s does well. i replaced my gfa555 (n... | |
| SW-800 Subs & CLS's hi mig, i never said anything in my post about using the adcoms to drive loads like the martin-logans, but when the gfa555 1st came out, a hi-end retailer in my area was amazed that they could drive the notoriously difficult apogee scintillas, tha... | |
| The best and worst Audiogon poster's while i never new the religious background of those who make soundlabs, more on an audio topic, i found it fascinating to learn that the founder of the company is in fact, deaf... strange profession for a deaf person. i couldn't help but tink of l... | |
| Soundstage - Too much? hi perfectimage, i agree w/what y say above, especially: "All your observations are obvios traits of a great ear...." ;~) seriously, i tink your 1st paragraph sums it up pretty well, & also sums up why i 1st disagreed w/ya - i am fortunate enu... | |
| Soundstage - Too much? thanks for the tip, perfect image. regarding "convincing me", i guess the only way i could be convinced, would be to hear imaging improve as a speaker is moved closer to a side-wall! :>) 'til now, as previously said, i've found the opposite to ... | |
| SW-800 Subs & CLS's gfa-555 should work yust fine w/those subs - bass response is a strong-suit of these amps. i use a pair of 'em bridged, to drive my vmps subs. at the very least, you could ry 'em, & if yure not happy, get something else.sorry i can't help ya w... | |
| High Efficiency Speakers i'd check out hedlund horns - see: http://www.adminsoft.ch/Hedlund/HedStart.htm these can be quite reasonable, if you are willing to build them yourself... | |
| Best 3-way or 4-way speaker under $15K try a pair of 2-ways & a pair of subs w/active cross-over. best bang for the buck, and also easiest to place, imho (if you have the space) - you can place the monitors for best imaging, & the subs for best bass response. and, monitors gene... | |
| Tired of My Thiel's!!! UPGRADE TIME??? try a nice tubed pre before ditching the thiels. if all else fails, try the newform research r645's. 30-day in-home trial; yure only out return shipping if ya don't like 'em. i'm saving for a pair - i tink they'll be giant-killers for the price. c... |
