| Speakers for Bryston pre/power amp So, you sold a 200wpc integrated and swapped to 135wpc separates to get better power and dynamics? What made you choose the Bryston separates? What speakers did you have in your system before the PSBs? Not sure "easy to drive" speakers are going t... | |
| What do you expect a reviewers system to be We can't really know what a reviewer's system sounds like or what their personal tastes are. Given that, I think one of the most valuable parts of a review is when a piece of equipment under review is compared to something else. People in general ... | |
| SVS Ultra Towers, Triton 2 or Triton 3 What sonic characteristics are important to you, and what are you looking to improve upon from the Spendors? | |
| vivid giya g3 anyone ? I heard the G3s at the NYC show and thought they were one of the best sounding rooms at the show (I think it was the Rhapsody room from above) for whatever that's worth. I think they were being driven by Mola Mola amps but not 100% sure. One of th... | |
| Help with a system for a guy into electronic music Not sure I'd spend over twice as much on subs as on the main speakers. Given that total price you could get something like a PMC OB1i and a pair of SVS SB13 Ultras. I'd think the SVS subs would be more than enough to handle the bass you'll be thro... | |
| Advice for a two channel amp B&W speakers are frequently paired with Classe electronics, and they may give you the sonic characteristics you're looking for. McIntosh may also be a good option. For a turntable I'd look at something like a VPI Traveler with something like a... | |
| Speakers that sound like Usher Be-20s/10s I heard some big Ushers at a show some years back and was also very impressed. In terms of imaging the speakers they reminded me most of was Joseph Audio, but I can't speak to how they compare on the other parameters you mention. JA speakers sound... | |
| Need a very neutral interconnect- Don't have them in my system, but reviews of the Synergistic Research interconnects seem to indicate they're pretty neutral sounding. Audioquest seems like a good bet too. Best of luck. | |
| Need opinion of which subs to get A pair of SVS-12-nsds for $1149 is hard to argue with from a value standpoint. A possible issue is they are down 3dB at 23Hz, which is only a couple Hz below where your speakers supposedly drop off (although Tyler didn't publish +/-dB figures). I'... | |
| recommend an amplifier for rockport mira 1 Rockport uses Gryphon Class-A amps (I'm sure among others) when voicing their speakers, but they may be out of your price range. However, considering that along with the sound characteristics you're looking for another Class-A amp might be just th... | |
| Best value in speaker cables?? I run shotgun Satoris as well and agree with Kijanki. Assuming you like the sound of the Adagios, why wouldn't you at least try the cables born from the mind of the same designer (such a rare opportunity)??? Especially since they're in your price ... | |
| Upgrading my amplifiers.Help? Hegel H300 might be worth consideration as well. | |
| Recommendation Speaker Cable around $1000-$2000 Really would have helped to know what cables you're using now. I think the Acoustic Zen Satoris do a lot of what you're looking for. Doubt you'll be disappointed. Best of luck. | |
| Looking for a high-quality 2-way speaker You've got some great speakers listed. At the recent NY Audio show I got to hear the Carmels back-to-back with the Joseph Audio Perspectives -- different rooms a couple doors apart -- playing the same track (St. James Infirmary). From the mids on ... | |
| Moving from CD to analog With that budget and taking into account your experience with analog if it were me I'd put $8000 into an analog rig and $8000 into a computer-based source. Something like Well Tempered Amadeus, VPI, or Townshend Rock turntable on the analog side a... |
