| Anticipating next upgrade after B&W 803 D3? To my ears, Joseph Audio speakers do everything better than a comparable B&W model while sounding more musical and just bringing more life and believability to sound. That’s what I heard comparing the original Pulsars to the 804 D3 last year a... | |
| Adding a small subwoofer for music in 2020 +1 SVS SB1000. They offer a long trial period and have great customer service. Best of luck. | |
| Projector comparisons You married well. | |
| Need recommendations for better two-channel audio out of my Marantz SR-6005 and my B&W 683 Agree with @deep_333 that the Yammy Aventage AVRs, especially the upper models (1080 on up) that have a power transformer are very good. I worked for Magnolia for a spell and got to compare Denon, Marantz, and Arcam driving B&W 804d3s and thou... | |
| Bel Canto PrePro for music? um..well....the point is you can get so much better product with a former high dollar pro than you can get with a stereo PRE.the nicest stereo pre I have seen lately was the emotiva XSP-1 gen 2. most of the rest of the stuff out lately are not th... | |
| vienna acoustics bach grand 4hom 90 db with nobsound el 34 8 watts tube amp? As long as you keep the volume fairly low probably not, but that’s just not a good pairing as the amp will have to operate way outside its optimal range and the speakers won’t get nearly enough power to access their potential. | |
| Speakers Only if there’s something you’d like to change or improve over what you have now. Is there? | |
| Upgrade DAC from AMR DP777SE You might also consider some of the better R2R NOS DACs like the Sonnet Morpheus, etc. as they tend to have a smoother or more analog sound that may be reminiscent of your AMR. Best of luck. | |
| Bel Canto PrePro for music? If you only have L/R speakers and subs and mainly listen to music I’d just use a good stereo preamp. | |
| 30w class A amp for Joseph Audio perspective 2? I’d add Clayton Audio S40 to the list. | |
| Speakers suggestion help There’s a nice pair of Joseph Audio Pulsars in beautiful Sepeli finish for $4300 on US Audio Mart. Just buy those. | |
| Suggestions for speakers for music listening Silverline Minuets would sound great and work well in smaller rooms and with a sub. Best of luck. | |
| Need recommendations for better two-channel audio out of my Marantz SR-6005 and my B&W 683 Get an integrated stereo amp and plug the L/R pre outs from the 6005 into it and you’ll cut the AVR completely out of the system for 2-channel. There’s a Yamaha AS1200 at Accessories4less for $1899 that will significantly outperform the Marantz a... | |
| turn on dac preamp and amp with one button Unless you’re running tubes or Class-A solid state you can consider just leaving them on 24/7. That’s what I do. | |
| Will floorstanders work in a small listening room? Room A should work fine and keep your guest room, though not sure why in a room that’s 10.5’ wide the speakers can only be up to 6’ apart (6’ should be fine though)? |
