| Need help with ProAc Response OneSC i heard the proac tablette 50 signatures - supposedly not as good as the 1sc's. they put the totems on the trailer. totems were nice, yust not in the same league as the proacs. the totems i listened to were the staff's - i understand this is the f... | |
| Speakers : Who uses What ? sugarbie, most speaker mfr's do *not* use their own drivers, they outsource them from arelatively small handful of driver mfr's. of course, there *are* a few speaker mfr's that make their own drivers, but they are in the small minority. even compa... | |
| preamp/system help vinyl is *so* much nicer than cd; i'd start here. also, if ya have decent radio station(s), why not a tuner? you'd be amazed at the sound quality of a good station on a good tuner. i fya *only* want cd, tho, why even *bother* w/a preamp? yust one ... | |
| Help! Need tube preamp to finish system. philefreak, i shall post my feelings about the rogue after i listen for awhile, but it mite be a couple weeks before i get the unit. | |
| Best Full Range Speakers @ Around $2000? deborah, if yer looking for a speaker that radiates most of its energy directly towards the listening-spot, perhaps ewe should try dunlavys - they have a *very* narrow sweet-spot, primarily cuz they're so directional. one reviewer, talking about t... | |
| Best Full Range Speakers @ Around $2000? my thiel 3.5's - an *especially* difficult load, due to their bass equalizer (which is how they go down to 20hz) - are currently being used in a 2nd system in my kitchen (big kitchen!). they're being driven by a 35wpc audio innovations integrated,... | |
| Help! Need tube preamp to finish system. i'm reading this rogue stuff w/baited breath - i yust purchased a demo 99 from a dealer w/o auditioning; it's on its way to rogue for them to install an additional set of rca tape outs & rca main outs. mark said they're also almost done w/a *m... | |
| Best Full Range Speakers @ Around $2000? *true* full-range? bass response down to 20hz, +/-2db? try used thiel 3.5's; if ya must spend $2k, then buy *two* pairs, & run 'em back-to-back! ;~) this, actually, is what mr. thiel recommends doing w/his speakers, in lieu of bi-amping, which... | |
| Subwoofer Match with Proac Response 2's euphorbia, proacs are *excellent* speakers, but, yule still need a pair - that's $3800. will they be powered, w/built-in x-overs? | |
| Subwoofer Match with Proac Response 2's can't help ya w/ht, but for music, ya *have* to get a *pair* of subs. this does two things - doesn't muck-up the soundstage, & also allows much less distortion, cuz ya don't have to drive 'em as hard for the same apparent volume. both of these... | |
| Best two amps to bridge for subwoofers. i'm currently using a pair of bridged adcom gfa-555's - the earliest usa-mfr'd versions, w/the smooth faceplates & rack handles. they're driving a pair of the larger vmps subs. they do an excellent job. i can't imagine anything doing better at... | |
| Amps: Bryston vs Electrocompaniet the electrocompaniet will have *no* problems driving the dynaudios - 120wpc into 8 ohms, 200wpc into 4 ohms, 350wpc into 2 ohms. stable down to 0.5 ohms, max current output is over 100 amps. don't have experience w/plinius, tho everyone sez they'r... | |
| Amps: Bryston vs Electrocompaniet i've only heard bryston in dealer/show situations, but what i heard sounded nice. i *do* have electrocompaniet stuff at home, tho, & like it a lot. lotsa folks say its solid state for those who like tubes - seems pretty close to me. the only r... | |
| WHICH SPEAKERS? dolphin, thanks for your comments. no problems w/ewe liking the talons, but their price is beyond me. oh well. as far as the newforms, the models i'm considering - the r645, & the nhb45, will go deeper than what ewe heard, tho, as i said prewi... | |
| WHICH SPEAKERS? dolphin, what are the limitations of the newform? i, also, am searching for that "unbelievable" speaker at a believable price. low-bass is not an issue for me, as i'm satisfied w/my pair of larger vmps subs, driven by a pair of adcom 555's, x'd ov... |
