| Need Good Advice - Speaker Cable I guess I should have also said that I too went to Lowes and cut up a $12 12 ga extension cord and tried it for a week. Not bad, much livelier than A-Plus and Transparent, much better soundstage than the Mapleshade, but lots of sibilance and some ... | |
| Need Good Advice - Speaker Cable You know, I've been in and out of audio for 30+ years, starting with small advents and a Pioneer receiver. I don't listen to much live music, but I know what I like in sound reproduction. When I got the monsters 20+ years ago I could tell a big di... | |
| Need Good Advice - Speaker Cable To those familiar with these cables, please look back at my original post and lets me know what you think of the MI-2's for my situation. I have read that the soundstage is large, similar to my impression of my Monsters.Chris | |
| Need Good Advice - Speaker Cable Nordost Flatline cables. One of the posts here noted that Nordost cables would likely be too lean sounding in my system. How about the all copper Flatlines? Without any silver do they still sound like the Solar Wind/Blue Heaven cables which I have... | |
| Need Good Advice - Speaker Cable Lack of adequate burn-in is a possibility with a couple of them, but they were either demos or I ran all in my system for a few days before trying to draw conclusions. The differences between them were stark, with definite characteristics defining... | |
| Need Good Advice - Speaker Cable Budget is about $200 for an 8' set, I will buy. The Rotel is hooked up with Transparent 100 Interconnects. In my view, my source components and amplifier are capable of everything that I want. Between the various cables, the system has had great b... | |
| Isolation feet for monitors If you want to isolate your monitors, rather than couple, you will need to do something similar to what I suggest; Vibrapods or sorbothane...Chris | |
| Isolation feet for monitors I have Soliloquy 5.0 monitors and I've tried many things underneath them. The best by far are #2 Vibrapods. Enhanses the deeper bass and its definition and tunefulness. Clarity and microdynamics are also excellent.I also achieved very good sound w... | |
| Synergistic Research Alpha speaker cable? Chiho,Defininetly demo the Oval 12's before you commit. I currently am in my second week of demo with them with the Soliloquy 5.0's. They are very smooth cables with good bass; but they are somewhat dry, veiled and rather lifeless in my opinion. I... | |
| $800-$1500 Integrated amps with a subwoofer output Thanks for the responses. I am looking for a line level sub out. Paralleling with my mains or off the subwoofer's high pass out destroys much of the fidelity for me.I will check out the Mira.Chris | |
| VA Haydn or Solilouy 5.0?? We've e-mailed a bit on the 5.0's already. My stands are 24", the same as the factory stands. That height, or slightly lower is perfect. 29" would be too high in my opinion.Chris | |
| Placement for Soliloquy speakers I own the 5.0 monitors, but auditioned a broken in pair of 5.3's in my room which is very similar to yours. I had them out from the back wall ~4-5 feet and they sounded pretty good, not really boomy. If you have a chance at them, the 6.3's are bet... | |
| Dynamic monitors for Audio Refinement Complete Sfar and I have "conversed" before about the 5.0's. I have not heard the ProAcs, but I can tell you that the way I have the 5.0's set up its hard to imagine more low level liveliness than I'm experiencing in my room. I returned the Soliloquy custo... | |
| Dynamic monitors for Audio Refinement Complete Soliloquy 5.0's. No question a great combo with the Complete. Very very dynamic and sweet sounding. Very sensitive to stands and fill material and coupling.You can pick them up cheap right now.Chris | |
| What integrated amp under a grand is your favorite I also have the Audio Refinement integrated and it is a very friendly sounding amp. It has good bass and relatively good resolution and is listenable no mater what recording I have fed it. You can also find it at some discount if you ask.Chris |
