| 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... | |
| price point to move to separates vs integrated If you get separates you can control your sound by changing the preamp, amp, and/or the interconnect between them. Upgrading and fine tuning is thus more flexible. If you've got audio OCD that's probably the way to go. If you just want to find gre... | |
| Entry-level speaker cables Acoustic Zen Satoris are really nice if you are looking used. Nice detail with very good tonality and soundstaging. If you need new I'd look at Grover Huffman or the Canare recommended earlier. Best of luck. | |
| Amp suggestions for $1000 It was nice of the guy to set up a system "close" to yours, but it still wasn't your source, cables, room, etc. Any decent dealer should let you borrow a piece of equipment or two for a couple days to try at home in your system. I bet you'd be sur... | |
| McCormack DNA-0.5 Protection Circuit problem? I had a similar issue about ten years ago and Steve gave me the same advice and all was well. I'd just recommend getting some additional replacement fuses while you're at it just in case. Shortly after I replaced the first fuse another one blew pr... | |
| how can I make the back wall transparent? I had that issue once and physically moved the speakers out when listening and back when done. It kinda sucked but preferable to hanging weird things on the wall since it was in our living room. So it was worth the effort to me given the huge soni... | |
| Interconnects that offer a mid-bass lift Try Acoustic Zen Matrix Reference (original version, not the Ref II). It's inherent sound is right inline with what you're looking for and can be gotten cheap. And if they don't work for you you can sell them at little or no loss. Best of luck. | |
| Amp suggestions for $1000 Agree with Khartago recs. I've got a McCormack 0.5 rev A and not sure that will warm things up unless it's your amp that's adding brightness.What interconnects and cables are you using? That might be another area to explore. Best of luck. | |
| which floor speaker up to 1500.00 If it has to be floorstanders I'd agree strongly with the Silverline Prelude recommendation given your stated priorities. I've only heard them at shows, but they really wowed me along with lots of others in the crowd with their remarkable imaging ... |
