Monitor Audio Studio 20SE vs. GR20 or GR60
Amongst other speakers, I have owned the Studio 6, the GR60 and now own the Studio 50.The GR60 (3-way with three dedicated woofer chambers) have front and rear vent ports and are very room-dependent. It's very difficult to control that bass. They ... 
How do you determine how much to spend on speakers
Nrchy, I haven't said that the amplifiers are more important than the source, but that I would put more money on them. Without a good source, forget about it. The main reason to spend more money in the amplifier than the source is simple: Good amp... 
How do you determine how much to spend on speakers
I subscribe entirely Swampwalker's opinion:"In other words, high end speakers driven by average electronics will NOT sound as good as good electronics driving average speakers."I had one system where the weak-link were the speakers: they were too ... 
ProAc Tablette Reference 8 Sig vs. Response D38
cool = a draw?I expect that in small and medium rooms the Tab Ref 8 Sig setup to be far superior.On large rooms, the D38 probably takes the crown. 
Denon POA-2800 vs. Sony TAN-90ES
Haven't heard the TAN90ES.The POA-2800 is an excellent all-rounder with enough power reserve for most loads. Bass is amazing - deep, with slam.Frequency response is perfect.Now, in terms of clarity and detail, it is not a Pass Aleph, but, then aga...

How to equalize a bi-amplification setup?
From Nelson Pass I received an excellent tip that applies to this or other setup:Connecting preamplifier balanced output to the amplifiers unbalanced inputs: pin 3 for Amp1, pin 2 for Amp2; both share pin 1 ground; phase of amp1 inverted at the sp... 
How to equalize a bi-amplification setup?
Herman, that's right - only the Aleph 0s has balanced inputs.Drrdiamond, could I extract the signal of the balanced output of the preamplifier and split it into a balanced and unbalanced connection? (one XLR to one XLR and one RCA)Another reason f... 
How to equalize a bi-amplification setup?
Herman, you're right! I've confirmed the "problem" is the pre-amplifier. According to Pass Aleph P manual, Gain: 15dB balanced out; 9dB unbalanced out.So, we're talking about a 6dB difference!Cadet1, what's the model/price of the behringer paramet... 
ProAc D25 or ProAc 1SC + Sub
Thank you all for you kind advises!The close replacement of the 1SC is an important argument to take in consideration. It is a quite dated model.From your experience, do you believe the D25 needs some space to expand the bass or is it compatible w... 
Rivals for B&W 805 Signature in small rooms?
So, from the kind posts, I realize there will soon be released a new 805S that will have a performance close to the current 805 Signature (or even better) at almost half the price. This is an important note. The diamond tweeter does not capture my...

How about these?- Monitor Audio GR60- Audiovector MI 3 Signature- B&W 703- Cabasse Sloop 500- Proac Response 1SCObservations: Midrange must be superb. Extension is also important.

Sony SCD-XA777ES or SCD-1
I agree with all the opinions. Thanks!About SONY Transports:Models CDP-XA7ES, SCD-777ES and SCD-1 use a floating suspension chamber-transport mechanism with a brass weight securing the disk in place. The optical group is fixed, the disk moves (and...
