| multichannel amps with individual level controls? I think the Earthquake Cinénova Grande amps do...lots of power.Dave | |
| Best Amp to drive my Apogee Stages? ClavilThe TRL GT-400 are 400 watts each?....I'm 100% sure they can drive the little Stage with ease.(My Onkyo M-504's don't even get past "warm" driving the Stage)Dave | |
| Has anyone heard the new PS Audio Perfect Wave? I have a friend that has them...and he says it's fantastic sounding in his system. He has an outstanding stereo system, but he lives in another state so I haven't heard it myself.I've read a few posts somewhere on the web, by people that heard the... | |
| Best Amp to drive my Apogee Stages? Don_sI've had plenty of clean power on mine (Krell Ksa-250, 4.5 kva transformer)....they did sound great.but they sound great with my tube amps also :-)I guess the baby Krell just couldn't cut the mustard?....probably overheated from being overdri... | |
| Best Amp to drive my Apogee Stages? I don't find my Stage particularly hard to drive...100 watts of solid state or tube amps (with a good power supply) is up to the task in my room. I guess if you like to play music at loud levels (90-100 db) you should play it safe and get 200 watt... | |
| Old vs New Dacs - Best Bang for buck??? The old Counterpoint DAC-10A with the upgraded 20bit ultra-analog card are very good sounding (I had one). They do come up for sale in your price range, but don't usually last long on the market.I can't think of a $500 DAC I would rather have?Dave | |
| DAC question You can find a Monarchy M-24 tube DAC for around $700-$800. It even has a pretty nice sounding tube preamp section you can use if you want. It's a very good DAC for the money IMO.I use Amperex tubes in mine...but have also used the cheap to buy EH... | |

| My Amp is Avoiding Me looking for Integra RDA-7 You missed it?http://cgi.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cl_sold.pl?ampsmult&1259343804 | |
| Speakers for $600. I agree with Maddoggy...Klipsch kg4's are outstanding for what you can buy them for (I paid $160 for mine). If you don't mind larger....Klipsch Forte go for around $500 bucks (another outstanding for the money speaker).Your amp will probably sound... | |
| To audyssey or not to audyssey, that is the ...? After running Audyssey in my room (8 MIC locations, and using a MIC stand...(plus reading tons of info about it at the AVS forum so that I could set it up correctly)....no contest between with, and without Audyssey.Audyssey took my 7.2 channel hom... | |
| Eton 8.1's or Apogee Slant 6 Maybe you would like Klipsch kg4's in that small room?...I have a pair and I like them a lot. (you can find them for 2-$300).I had Apogee Centaur Minors in the past, and I still own Apogee Duetta Signatures, and Apogee Stage (MiniGrands).I should ... | |
| right/left orientation Facing the speakers of course. This matches the connections on the rear of the components, and any balance control that may be on the preamp.Dave | |
| most articulate speaker Stats and ribbons....then horns. I don't agree with Newbee....monopole cones interact with the room much more than dipole stat/planer type speakers do. (this is the reason monopole cone subwoofer setup gives many people fits).Dave | |
| Magnepan Owners - Need Your Thoughts Please The CARDAS setup method works in some rooms, and not in others. It does work in my room...although I had already placed my dipoles before hearing about the CARDAS setup....or, in other words, I set them up by ear.Regardless, my ear and the CARDAS ... |
