| Sub $1k Power Amp to pair with Bryston B-60 I think you're making a mistake by buying an amp at this point. The amp you choose needs to work with the speakers it's driving, and since you're looking to upgrade your speakers you'll end up with an amp that works better with your current speake... | |
| Remote control of hidden components? Did you look at the Universal remote package I mentioned above? It sure looks like it would solve all your problems since it's a great universal remote, includes RF, and is only 80 bucks at B&H. One of the advantages over the iPhone/IPad is th... | |
| Most Musical Subwoofers? Lots of great recommendations. I'll just add this one...http://www.soundstage.com/equipment/paradigm_sub2.htmSeems like they could potentially match the excellent JL Audio units at a big discount. If this one's out of your price range I think ther... | |
| Remote control of hidden components? If the repeater idea doesn't work you can try something like the Universal RFS200 package that includes a nice remote and an RF unit that operates on radio waves rather than infrared so it can work through doors, walls, etc. It's a nice universal ... | |
| Need an " exciting sounding" digital cable The Stereovox cable is almost ruthlessly revealing in my system, and it's not all that expensive so might be a good place to start. Best of luck. | |
| Would an amp or preamp have a larger SQ increase? In general I find preamps make a bigger absolute difference in overall sound in my system than amps. But one area where I find amps make relatively more of a difference is with regard to bass, which seems to be high on your list of priorities. The... | |
| Looking for an XLR to XLR IC to add warmth The Acoustic Zen Matrix Reference will do that, and the original version is warmer than the Ref II if you can find them. Best of luck. | |
| Best speakers for about $2000 a pair Never heard them, but Salk Song Towers have gotten some nice reviews and I think they're in that price range. Best of luck. | |
| Amp for Silverline MInuets I saw them driven at a show a few years ago by what I think was a small Monarchy integrated fed by a cheap CD player Alan Yun said he picked up for a few bucks at a garage sale (I think there may have been a Monarchy DAC somewhere in there but not... | |
| high end subwoofer...which one tho? You might want to take a look at this review:http://www.soundstage.com/equipment/paradigm_sub2.htm | |
| Warm to Neutral Speaker Cables under $800? I see there are a couple listings for Acoustic Zen Satori cables for around $350. Been using these for years and they've bested all comers, and they're well below your spending limit. Nice & natural in the highs, but they let the natural timbr... | |
| who has experience with Joseph Audio? Amazing how this stuff hits people so differently. I'm completely opposite of Seditious3, and it's B&Ws that strike me the way the Josephs sound to him. In fact, probably one of my top 5 show experiences was hearing Louis Armstrong from St. Ja... | |
| Power Conditioners Probably hard to go wrong with Synergistic Powercell, Audience Teflon, or RSA conditioners. I'd certainly have those on my short list, which they are. But as someone who recently had dedicated lines installed, you might consider doing that first a... | |
| what has a Thiel soundstage, but more sensitivity? I knew there was somebody I forgot. Green Mountain Audio also employs 1st order crossovers and at least looking at the Continuum 3 may be an easier load than the Thiels. Not all that much to look at though if such things concern you. | |
| from B&w 805's to Usher be-718 - what to expect? I would think you'd at the very least hear a very big improvement in bass weight and extension since this is an area of strength for the Ushers and not so much for the 805s. That said, I don't think the Ushers will open up and sound their best wit... |
