| Home Theatre AVR recommendations (Anthem, NAD vs Denon, pioneer, marantz) Given that you're using a sub and not listening at loud levels, I'd think the Yamaha could be enough even though the 685s dip to 3.5 Ohms at some point. But as you're auditioning and if you find a speaker you like just as well without the impedan... | |
| Soliloquy 6.5 speaker As another option, I found an old thread from 11/14/05 titled "Is Soliloquy out of business?" Scroll down to the last two posts who in the past have claimed to have replacement parts for Soliloquy. As an owner of 6.2s I'd be interested in whatev... | |
| Home Theatre AVR recommendations (Anthem, NAD vs Denon, pioneer, marantz) I'm in the camp you're doing this backwards. If you're getting speakers anyway there's no reason to not choose those first IMHO. That said, given your preferences I'd look at an Anthem MRX 700 or 710 if you can swing it. Among the more mainstre... | |
| Audioquest vs Analysis Plus? Lots of good suggestions here already. I'll throw in the Acoustic Zen Satori shotgun biwires as another option. Balanced all-around cable with very good detail yet not too hot and great tonality and soundstaging properties. It doesn't have the ... | |
| Upgrade from Proac Response 1SC? It seems like the Proacs do some things that really appeal to you that are tough to find in other speakers. I agree with Zd that it might be very worthwhile trying some different integrateds that may better blend the top end with the rest of the ... | |
| Monitors for Pass Labs 60 INT What sound reproduction/speaker characteristics are most important to you? | |
| Integrated amps for Joseph Audio rm22si JA has shown with Hegel with good results, so maybe an H80 would be worth exploring. Same with the Bel Canto integrated. With your tastes it sounds like you may like tube gear as well if you're open to that, so integrateds from Primaluna and Cay... | |
| Integrated amps for Joseph Audio rm22si What amp are you currently using or what have you heard so far that you don’t like? JA speakers don’t have a rep for sounding bright or edgy, so would be helpful to hear what else is currently in your system in terms of source, pre, interconnects/... | |
| Transparent Preamplifier Why not leave CD player connected directly to your amp if you like the sound? Need more inputs? If so, a Bryston BP6 is just what you're looking for. Only other consideration is what interconnects you're using? | |
| Integrated amps for Joseph Audio rm22si What aspects of sound reproduction are most important to you? | |
| Changed amps - center image moved This sounds a little too dramatic to just be attributable to changing amps. It sounds a lot like you have inverted polarity somewhere, which would do exactly what you’re describing to the imaging. I’d go back and check you have all your interconne... | |
| What receiver should I buy? Your speakers are highly efficient, so you really don't need to be concerned much with power output as almost any decent receiver can easily drive them. I assume you're not streaming music and such, but if you upgrade to a 4k HDTV at some point y... | |
| Concert Experience for $5k? Best ATC speakers you can afford with a pair of good subs. | |
| Considering Wilson or Sonus Faber floor standing over my Rockport monitors & Wisdom Sub If you really like what you’re hearing out of your Mira Monitors I’d hold out for a pair of used Miras. They do come up from time to time. The benefit is you’d preserve the sonic signature you already have but just add more scale, And I’d keep yo... | |
| Bryston vs Modwright? Given your speakers don’t present an overly hard load, have a tendency toward brightness in the treble, and your budget I’d consider a Clayton Audio S40 Class A amp. There's also a Plinius SA103 for sale in your price range if you feel you need m... |
