| Biwire oval 9's, single Zen Satori - surprised Drubin makes a good point, and I agree with Kijanki's assessment as well. If you haven't already done so, maybe try hooking up one leg of the Oval 9s (being careful not to let any of the unused terminals touch each other of course), which may give... | |
| 2 channel priority in HT Processor...who's is best Seems like you're gonna pay a lot to equal or better the Pass preamp for 2-channel duties with an HT processor. Maybe I'm missing something, but why not just route the front L/R pre outs from the Sunfire processor to another input on the Pass (or ... | |
| Choices for speaker 2' from back wall I haven't heard them, but the Von Schweikert VR33s are made to be positioned close the the back wall and seem to have very positive reviews. They are only available factory-direct from VS to save cost, and they are just a little over your target p... | |
| New Speakers for $2000 Revel F50 was first thing that came to mind, and they're available here in your price range. Not sure if your room is big enough for them or if the Cambridge would be a good match, but probably possesses most if not all the qualities you're lookin... | |
| Speaker cable recommendations please I've been using the Acoustic Zen Satori shotgun for a long time and after comparing to others I think they exhibit a lot of the qualities you're looking for. Best of luck. | |
| McCormack .5 with Vandersteen 2CI You should have your co-worker stretch a bit and wait for a 0.5 Rev. A to come available. It'll probably only be another $200 or so more expensive and is at a completely different level than the stock or deluxe version, and the Vandys will certain... | |
| Used Magico V3 or Rockport Mira 2 Goodwins does it right. If you're upfront with them that you probably will buy used or even not at all I wouldn't be surprised if they were happy to accomodate you as long as it's not during a particularly busy time. That way you get to listen but... | |
| NOLA Boxers in my space Okay, I'm gonna be the bad guy here. "For years, it's been my blasphemous contention that speakers are going to be right as long as everything upstream is right. So I'd rather have an excellent front end and okay speakers, than great speakers hitc... | |
| Dedicated listening room design Hi Kevin. Sorry I haven't posted back, but I've had the french drains installed, and the heat pipes replaced/moved so now I'm having the permanent generator insatalled which involves running elecrical and gas lines before putting up walls.I got To... | |
| Yes,another DAC question I think a dedicated CD player, especially an expensive one, could be a big mistake. Music sourced from computers/hard drives driven through the better software and lastest DACs already seems to be matching and even bettering what some of the best ... | |
| Turntable under $1500 ..... Rega, clearaudio, or ? There's a Well Tempered Classic with a MC cartridge for sale here now that's close to your price range. Best of luck. | |
| Berkeley Alpha vs Weiss 202 vs Ayre QB9 vs ? Bill - haven't read the whole thing yet, but the DAC202 was praised as being very natural sounding and likely to appeal to those who love vinyl and have a hard time warming up to digital. I think he said dynamics were not a strong point, images we... | |
| AU24e Interconnects - but warmer In your case I tend to agree with Ebm. If I were you I'd try adding a rug with thick padding to see if that helps or change the speakers (by the way, are you listening with the grills on as Paradigm recommends?). But that's me.If you're intent on ... | |
| Interconnect question I have found the interconnect between a preamp and amp can make a large difference in the sound of a system, and I think that will hold despite your TT maybe having less than optimal leads. You will be changing the nature (and probably quality) of... | |
| Berkeley Alpha vs Weiss 202 vs Ayre QB9 vs ? Just got the new 'pile in the mail and there's a comparison between the Weiss 202, the Debussey, and the Bel Canto DAC3.5vb. I'm sure personal preference comes in huge here, but I found the comparison between the three interesting. |
