| Kinergetics SW200 rip-off ?? with a pair of hi-quality subs, a hi-quality active x-over set at a low-enuff frequency & a steep enuff slope - 24db/octave minimum - 48db/octave may be even better for e-stats - you should be able to integrate subs w/yust about any speakers o... | |
| Best used preamp for around $1000. . . try a melos sha-gold/gold reference or sha maestro (latest version of gold reference). i heard the gold a few years ago, it was great! i ended up buying the top-model, the 2-box (linestage) ma-333/music director. | |
| Avantgarde Uno Loudspeakers: Comments? while i usually agree w/what cornfedboy has to say, in the case of the avantgardes' sound, i have to respectfully disagree w/him this time. i heard the earlier wersion of the duos, and if they were in my budget, they'd be prime contenders, even if... | |

| Avantgarde Uno Loudspeakers: Comments? don't have it handy, but stereophile did a pretty good yob of measuring the uno's in their recent review. | |
| Liked the Nautilus 805 but found better? i tried the *least expensive* rel, & i'd rather have *no* sub. sounded like one-note-thump, to me. for the same money, (and even if they cost more), i'd rather have my *two* vmps larger subs. of course, my sub system cost ~$2.4k, but this was ... | |
| Have you heard about new Krell products my only complaint w/krell is the same as cornfedboy's - that they seem to come out with *new-n-improved* product every 6 months or so. (weeks? months? who's counting? ;~) ) i have not found krell to be mediocre. while expensive, it's in line w/oth... | |
| Bridging amps. dunno about the adcom 565's, but i use a pair of the original adcom gfa555's, bridged, to drive my vmps larger subs, and the bass response is excellent - tight, accurate, textured, powerful... | |
| Are you Guys Rich or What!? i've got about $12k into my rig, but i'm by no means rich - it's been built up over the years in bits-n-pieces. one of the amps i use i purchased in '85. oh, & i'm also a bargain-shopper - the retail price of my system is ~$35k. :>) but the... | |
| Liked the Nautilus 805 but found better? oops - the adamantes' are adwertized here, too... | |
| Liked the Nautilus 805 but found better? get the diapason adamantes adwertised on audioweb for $1400 - i heard these at a s'phile show, & they flat-out disappeared, went down to 40hz easily, & are georgeous to boot! | |
| What about Meadowlark? i had the opportunity to compare proac tablette 50 signatures, proac 1.5's, & proac 2.5's to the kestrel hotrods. i'd take the proacs any day. don't get me wrong - i actually liked the kestrels - very musical & forgiving. but, not as accur... | |
| Sub for monster BASS!!!!!! check audiogon's manufacturer's list for mfr's www's... or do a search on lycos or yahoo or hotbot or? | |
| Classe vs. Sonic Frontiers i haven't heard either of these, but if yure considering a change, proac recommends the arc 100.2 amp & the ls-16 or ls-25 preamp. i've heard the proac 2.5's w/the 100.2 & the ls-16, & it sounds great. | |
| Kinergetics SW200 rip-off ?? frogman, again i suggest checking out vmps subs. give brian cheney, the owner/designer of vmps a call, after checking out his www. i also suggest checking out the reviews of the newform research r645 on audioreview, if ya like those e'stats so muc... |
