| Looking for ideas - new mono blocks for stereo music By a good margin, the most transparent and open sounding amp I’ve had in my system was the Liberty B2B-100 made by Peter Noerbeck of PBN (my amp is a McCormack DNA 0.5 Rev. A). Liberty is his direct-to-consumer brand that benefits greatly from tri... | |

| Suggestions for an amp "Even though the Hegel seems to be a very good deal at $1600...it is simply more than I planned on spending at this time."HA HA HA HAAAAAA!!! Dude, you're at ground zero of "more than I planned on spending" here. People should have to sign a wai... | |
| Best Speaker cable in the $400.00-$500.00 range for 2 meters Well, since OP so far not willing to specify what kind of improvements he's looking for, I'll submit there's a 2m pair of Acoustic Zen Hologram II on eBay for $599. Great all-around cable I'd think would be tough to beat at that price. But then ... | |
| AV Pre/Processor vs 2 Channel Pre-Amp - Sound Quality "Soix, I have a Monitor Audio 12” Silver Series Sub. I use a Sony BD player for movies right now, soon to be PS4 Slim, and music I have a hard drive with Apple lossless connected to my Netgear Nighthawk router."So, is there a DAC involved here or ... | |
| Hegel H360 or H590 or Constellation Inspiration Integrated 1.0 for Magico A3 The PA3000HV available here now for $10,995 includes full factory warranty according to the ad. | |
| Lyngdorf TDAI-3400 Couldn't disagree with @stereo5 more. You can't judge an audio component until it breaks in (and you break into it), so if you simply judge it on first listen you're not even close to evaluating it fairly or accurately. I think you're very smart... | |
| AV Pre/Processor vs 2 Channel Pre-Amp - Sound Quality What subwoofer do you have, and what are your sources for music and movies? | |
| AV Pre/Processor vs 2 Channel Pre-Amp - Sound Quality Unless you really care a lot about higher quality surround processing and have very good/expensive surround and center speakers, I'd use a decent AVR for processing and driving those channels. Buying a prepro that significantly betters a decent A... | |
| Suggestions for an amp As the other guys are alluding to, you probably want something more than the Marantz. The Silver 8s drop to 3.5 Ohms in the midrange, which is not uncommon, but the P8006 puts out 70wpc and only rises to 100wpc into 4 Ohms indicating the power su... | |
| Wilson Audio Sabrina . . . I'm smitten. Should I consider others? That you preferred the B&Ws to the Perspectives or Quattros has me a little stunned. I was able to listen to several B&W and JA speakers in the same system, and there wasn't anything the B&Ws did better than the JAs, especially imagin... | |
| Suggestions for an amp I assume this setup is also a home theater rig? Your speakers demand more than a HT receiver, PERIOD. My recommendation would be to buy an integrated amplifier with a home theater bypass so you can continue to use your receiver for surround stuf... | |
| I need a new DAC or something else....? You gave us lots of information, but nothing about what aspects of sound reproduction are most important to you and/or what you might like to improve upon over what you've had (and what you like about the Vega). That's really the bottom line here... | |
| Thiel CS2.4 to what? Since you like a lot of what your speakers are doing and given what you're looking for, I also think subs are well worth exploring. Two subs is better than one, but two high-end subs new would cost about as much or more than your Thiels, which se... | |
| Best Speaker cable in the $400.00-$500.00 range for 2 meters Big +1 @mayoradamwest -- you really need to give us some idea of what you're looking to improve upon or at least what aspects of sound reproduction are most important to you or you're just going to get a mishmash of random recommendations that may... |
