| anthem m1 anyone own or here these yet; impression Absolutely, I would not trade these amps for anything. They are solid as a rock, reliable and backed by the best in the industry customer support service. Anthem is a super solid outfit. The power, crisp clean output, immense amount of headroom, ... | |
| What is the forums opinion of SVS subs? I had a total of around a half dozen SVS subs in succession with each one failing and being replaced under warrantee. One actually caught on fire internally and filled my room with acrid smoke which was choking. With each new sub, I tried a differ... | |
| What is the forums opinion of SVS subs? I believe that if anyone were physically open up a SVS sub to inspect the internals; you’d perhaps have a different opinion on buying them. The electronics were a huge disappointment to me as was the construction in my opinion. They do a very goo... | |
| What is the forums opinion of SVS subs? I have owned at least 5 SVS subs, luckily they have an excellent customer service department for the warranty as every sub I got from them (two via one of their dealers stores) failed. I took two of them apart to view the guts and I was not happ... | |
| Your sub experience: Easy or hard? I have tested quite a few brands of subs in my 10K cubic foot room. Some are simply terrible in terms of muddy concocted sound. The worst one (for my space) was the Paradym monster 15 inch sub with way too much power; although I can say that it... | |
| Solid State Phono Stages I second Variat on the Whest gear. I have had a couple of their offerings; currently using a customized PS30 RDT SE which James built for me two years ago using mostly PS40 RDT parts put into a surplus PS30 case and a customized input on one sett... | |
| What Would Be the Reasoning Behind Leaving Class D Amps On? The issue of leaving a class D on all the time vs. turning it off is probably more dependent on what the Class D amp is. I have had experience with Class D amps which use ICE output modules and I never liked them. Those amps definitely seemed t... | |
| Please recommend speakers Just a suggestion to consider: Look at Axiom Audio speakers. I have the Bryston Model T's fully active and they are spectacular. Axiom owns Bryston and they make all of the Bryston speakers, however they have their own line which is very simi... | |
| What makes the biggest difference in sound quality? I didn't take the time to read all of the many responses in this thread, but I did review a few. I'll throw in my recent experiences with improvements to my system which have all been derivatives of trouble shooting nagging and continuing problem... | |
| Interesting observations No, the cable was not broken, it functions just fine with other devices. My entire point here is that I was trying to find out if anyone has any insight into why there is a lack of handshake between two devices and it appeared very suddenly. W... | |
| Interesting observations I was hoping that someone would have some engineering insight into this issue; that doesn't seem to be the case. | |
| Bryston ??? I suspect that the Bryston/Axiom Audio merger which happened a few months ago has caused some of the slow down in response. They have a lot to sort out.I had an amp failure on one of my Axiom subs caused by some component on one of the boards in ... | |
| Which subwoofer? You really need several subs in any system no matter what the room size. It is just a matter of which sub you decide on getting. I have a lot of experience with many different subs in my listening area which is a very complex room to fill pro... | |
| Vinyl...should I stay, or should I go? Hands down, no comparison.... vinyl should easily outperform your digital set up. I am in agreement, your cart may well be your problem. I replaced a shibata stylus on a beryllium cantilever with a new old stock one I hunted down from overseas... | |
| Replacement capacitors exploding Bryston Amps and electronics as well as Axiom Audio both use Clarity Caps as does Whest Audio in London. These three very high end producers of sound equipment using these caps says a lot to me and I'd be looking at Clarity Capacitors out of Engl... |
