| What solid amp to pair with DiaLogue Premium Preamplifier ? Any of these would likely fit the bill...https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649470651-mccormack-dna1-special-edition/https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649470492-belles-sa-100/https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis96dbg-belles-350a-solid-state?re... | |
| Speakers for a very large room? For progressive rock my first choice would be ATC. The sheer force, power, and thrust they can belt out cleanly and without distortion makes them a great match for this type of music IMO. The downside is they do require some power to shine, so I... | |
| Speaker Cables Depends on what type of bass you're looking for. Like most things in audio, it's not a one size fits all proposition. | |
| What would be the best set up go with an amp or a pre? Since you're asking about an integrated amp as an option, I'll assume 2-channel performance is important to you. I think if you were to spend that kind of money on a stereo preamp it would outclass your amp, which is a good amp for the money but ... | |
| Speaker Recommendation: 20K range @ozzy -- Did I miss something? Didn't you have the Carver ALS? Did they not work out? What up? | |
| How would you introduce tubes into this SS system? Not sure if these would be outside your budget, but I know they’ll sound fantastic with the RM22s, and the bass will be sublime as will the imaging/soundstage...https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis966hf-audio-research-ls-16-mkii-tubehttps://www.u... | |
| Some Basic Center Channel speaker reccomendaitons I think it's a very good idea to compare the Chameleon to the Verus. Given what I said in prior posts it's probably not a surprise that I'm not a fan of the Chameleon C design (nor that it weighs less than half that of the Verus), and you should ... | |
| Looking for a digital cable 75 ohm I preferred this $40 Apogee cable to my Stereovox XV2, which I believe is the same guy behind Black Cat. I think John Atkinson used this as his reference for a while as well, if that even means anything. The Apogee was more natural sounding with... | |
| How would you introduce tubes into this SS system? Congrats on the speakers (if it works out)! Might be worth a call to the guy with the Cayin to see if he has any thoughts on parts and service, and he may be willing to lower the price to compensate. If he's had the amp for a while and it's been... | |
| Musical Sound Quality of AV Surround receiver vs. pure Stereo @phill55 -- The Hegel has line-level outputs, which is all you'd need to connect your subwoofer.The difference in amps, contrary to what some say, is quite minimal.I'm just going to flat out disagree with @secretguy here. If you at all care about... | |
| Some Basic Center Channel speaker reccomendaitons The best center channel speakers I’ve heard have had a dedicated midrange driver located below the tweeter. You’ll notice the Aperion is configured this way, and I’ve also heard it in a system I’m familiar with. It’s one of the few center speakers... | |
| Looking for an amp....Opinions about Odyssey or Bel Canto audio anyone? What about this classic beast?https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649428780-lae-mccormack-dna-2-amplifier/ | |
| Some Basic Center Channel speaker reccomendaitons If you're not up for buying three matching speakers, what about just setting your prepro or AVR to "phantom" for center channel (if you haven't already) since this is for non-critical listening?If you're definitely keeping your speakers that you'r... | |
| Some Basic Center Channel speaker reccomendaitons What's your budget? I assume you mean a "height" of 7" or less? What amp will you be driving it with? Will it be in a cabinet or does it need to be close to the back wall? How big is your room? | |
| How would you introduce tubes into this SS system? Both. Actually, and I don't mean to be, er, mean, but replace the whole shebang. It's time.
