| Silverline Sonatina II - MODs? I had the Sonata IIs and they were dynamic and would play loudly. That's about it. Not very transparent and they had a boxy midrange coloration which would show up on some acoustic music. After it was identified, I couldn't overlook it. They were ... | |
| difficulty finding CD player match for Magneplanar You might think that your 120 watts is driving those maggies, but trust me, no it's not.I had 3.5rs a few years ago and was driving them with McCormack DNA-1 deluxe monoblocks. The maggies took all that power and didn't bat an eye. I tried driving... | |
| Which matters more, DAC or transport? It might matter more if you posted your question in the correct forum.........just saying.....Shakey | |
| Art Audio VPS I had a VPS DM briefly and found it to be a little euphonic sounding. Nice, but not enough snap and resolution. I recently bought a used Alana (Gill & Art Audio) and it is a completely different beast. More dynamic and transparent than the VPS... | |
| Subwoofer for Acoustic Zen Adagio? Thanks Raul, but no thanks. I have owned (and loved) subs before. But I am getting the best bass response in my current setup than I have ever had before.Shakey | |
| Subwoofer for Acoustic Zen Adagio? What you fail to understand is that looking at my profile will tell you little or nothing about me or my history. I have been posting here and at Audio Asylum since their inceptions. My initial retort to your post was made with tongue planted firm... | |
| Subwoofer for Acoustic Zen Adagio? From good ole Merriam:Base:a (1) : the lower part of a wall, pier, or column considered as a separate architectural feature (2) : the lower part of a complete architectural design b : the bottom of something considered as its support : foundation ... | |

| Need preamp recommendation A used Sonic Euphoria PLC is just what you are looking for. This is a great preamp w/o all the drawbacks of conventional passive designs.Shakey | |
| Subwoofer for Acoustic Zen Adagio? >more than enough base for me,<Oh geez.....not more base......Shakey | |
| Subwoofer for Acoustic Zen Adagio? Aptquark,Ok, we get it, they have lots of "base". But what about the lower frequencies commonly referred to as "bass"? Do they have any of that going on?Shakey | |
| anyone using piega speakers? Well said Hantrax. Not in my wildest dreams would I label the Piegas bright. But they are revealing and that can be a problem for some. In the right room and system they are world class IMHO.Shakey | |
| anyone using piega speakers? Richards, you nailed it about Spudco. >I'm currently listening to Piega C-40s. The break in was lengthy and they need lots of current to really fill a large room, but the sound is really something special. I have never been a ribbon fan, but th... | |
| anyone using piega speakers? I bought my P-10s 18 months ago and completely stopped looking at other speakers. After owning 17 different pairs of speakers in the last 10 years, I guess you could say I was "searching" for something and not finding it. The Piegas aren't perfect... | |
| The Richard Clark "all amps sounds the same" test What's interersting to note here is that this is the same Richard Clark of car audio fame. I followed him back in the 80s from his Cadillac sedan deville to his Buick Grand National. Simply put, two of the best car audio systems I have ever heard,... |
