| B&W 801N and Bryston match What are you using now and what qualities are you looking to improve upon? Not sure choosing an amp based on price on the used market and warranty are the best criteria to go on, but we all have different priorities I guess. | |
| Solid state amp around 2000-2500 used or new Would be good to know what qualities the OP would like to improve upon over the Khartago. Would make for better recommendations. | |
| Need speaker advice After looking at the Silverline website, what really bothers me is they only offer a one year, non-transferable warranty. With speakers at this level I'd think it would be a lot better than that. Putting myself in your position, if you don't fix t... | |
| Oppo customer service I had a problem with the door on my DV970HD in the first year and they fixed it and got it back to me within a week with no problem. A few years later the door is acting up again, so I'm questioning the build quality at this point more than the se... | |
| Bryston Loudspeakers? I own a Bryston pre and am certainly rooting for them here, and I bet the speakers sound pretty darn good too. And I understand working with Axiom to get access to their drivers, but why oh why did they have to make the Model T look so much like t... | |
| Bryston Loudspeakers? There's a reason there are so few manufacturers that can successfully build and sell both electronics and speakers. A mid to high end company like Bryston working with a lower end speaker company to enter the speaker market seems like an odd strat... | |
| Can a $3K table be among the best out there? Understood your friend knows his stuff, but the question that seems to not have been answered is if he's actually heard a WT turntable. Has he? | |
| Magnepan MMG or something else You need to identify what aspects are contributing to your lack of involvement, otherwise this is just a crapshoot. Is it timing? Is it a lack of tonal richness or image density? Or a lack of dynamics? Involvement may be subjective but that doesn'... | |
| Sound dampening Bass frequencies will not be damped or absorbed by curtains if that's what you're looking for. And they won't do much to keep the sound from leaking to the rest of your house either if that's a concern (you don't specify if you're looking for soun... | |
| Need Advice for LCRs - Budget $500-$1000 The center speaker, as usual, will likely be the most important of the three so I'd try to get the best one possible. For $375 I think the Paradigm Monitor 7 Center 1 could be a very good choice, and you can pair it with the Mini Monitors and stil... | |
| Aerial Acoustics vs. Joseph Audio Tough call. I'd go with the Perspectives just because I really like the other JA speakers I've heard, but then again Magico just released the S1 in that price range that I would also want to hear as well. Best of luck and let us know how it turns ... | |
| How is/was your Satori speaker cable? I've had Satori shotgun biwires in my system for about ten years and remain very happy. I've had several others in but the natural and organic sounding Satoris have stood the test of time. I think Foster may be right that they may not be the quick... | |
| DSpeaker Anti Mode Dual Core 2.0 Room Correction Seems like it won't do stereo subs in its current form, at least not without adding another one. Just FYI for those who might care. | |
| Good Processor If stereo is very important, going with an AVP can be very limiting in terms of viable options as you well know. And it may also be more expensive relative to using a quality stereo pre for the front L/R speakers and a decent AVP for surround proc... | |
| Thinking of moving from AVR to pre/pro and amp Good to hear you've noticed some improvements in trying different speaker positions and subwoofer settings. Sounds like you've also started to identify the difference between more bass and better bass in the process. If possible, try pulling the f... |
