| Question about Meridian 808 Thank you, Jppenn. I am the one that asked about the high turnover on Audiogon for selling Meridian 808. After seeing your posting I searched the Internet. Meridian is soon to issue the 808.2 with major equipment modification. So that explains why... | |
| meridian 861 v2.8, is it worth it? So what are some analog preamps (to go with a CD player) that would be superior than the 861 v4? Secondly if processors with analog bypass would also be superior, then what are some choices? | |
| From Pass X250,5 to 350,5 : what to expect? Thank you for the calculation, but it's pretty obvious that theory does not match reality.As to the whole thread it does not seem that there is agreement either. The punch line actually reads 350W is preferred over 250W, yet 200W is as good as it'... | |
| From Pass X250,5 to 350,5 : what to expect? Tboooe, since I am replacing both amplifier and speakers, info on my existing equipment won't do any good. I am going to go with Wilson Watt Puppy 8, thus rated sensitivity is 92 db, and impedance is 4 ohms. Distance between the tweeters and my ea... | |
| Sonus Faber Elipsa I just read Stereophile review of the Elipsa ... such luke warm review with concern on the bass. However I disagree with the reviewer regarding too much treble. | |
| From Pass X250,5 to 350,5 : what to expect? I just have to ask if the 350W X350.5 is needed (vs X250.5) for Wilson, why do you think the 100W XA100.5 is enough? Secondly don't the XA and X.5 series (and not just XA.5) double their power going from an 8-ohm to a 4-ohm? Thirdly I heard the ru... | |
| From Pass X250,5 to 350,5 : what to expect? Fatcataudio, do you expect much of a difference between x350.5 vs x600.5 vs xa160 for either a Wilson Watt Puppy 8 or a Sonus Faber Elipsa or the like? Pass Labs thinks the xa160 should have enough power to handle those speakers. I have my doubt. ... | |
| Amplifier advice for Wilson Sophia speakers I heard Pass Labs X.5 series behaves like a class A at low volume. How low a volume must it be? I usually listen in the range of 70-85 db. Secondly why stop at such lowly 250W X250.5? Wouldn't an X600.5 sounds better? I heard power doesn't have to... | |
| Amplifier advice for Wilson Sophia speakers Why the combination of a Pass Labs amp and a Boulder preamp? Since you know about Boulder preamp, what do think of Boulder amp? What do you hear differently between a Boulder design for amplifier versus that of a Pass Labs or an Ayre? I am more in... |
