| Wilson Alexia - what's the competition I'm not a huge Wilson fan, but I heard the Alexia at the NYC show a month ago and I was very impressed -- moreso than with any other Wilson demo I've heard. I actually preferred the sound in that room to the MAXX3s, but they were in different room... | |
| ATC active speakers, anyone heard them? It's been a while, but I've heard the 50s at length (although they were passive and driven by Linn amps fyi) and they are very impressive for what they do -- I'd expect the active versions to be even moreso. There's a level of dynamic power, direc... | |
| Is a dimmer noisy when it's turned OFF? Anyone know of any dimmers that are not noisy? I'm guessing no, but would be nice to add the flexibility to my listening room if it exists. Also, if there is such an animal, what types of bulbs lend themselves well to dimming without being noisy/b... | |
| New cart for under 1K "The Focal's are very accurate and tend to be bright in the highs. Brightness is what I am trying to avoid. I've found the highs to be too harsh for my liking, especially with vocals."I see why you're immediately targeting the cartridge given your... | |
| Audio Research Ref 5 SE In this situation I'd consider buying one used to minimize the potential pain if you can find one. Best of luck. | |
| Speakers for Bryston pre/power amp From your original post it sounds for all the world that you had a problem with the Synchrony Ones and the M6i and that you're selling both. Then you ask if you should consider the 804Ds after you've apparently already owned 804s with a Creek amp ... | |
| 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. |
