| Why monoblocks? This thread is great! I actually owned a stereo amp, Audio Research Classic 60. I turned around and traded it in for a pair of the Audio Research Classic 120's monoblocks. What surprised me was not only was there more power, the amps were aestheti... | |
| The audio research arc line- from top to bottom. Another long time Audio Research user and fan here. I always lusted for an SP15 in black but settled on the SP14! Wanted to buy a Ref 2 but settled for a LS25 MKII which was a great unit. If I were buying right now and in your position the Ref 3 i... | |
| Mods for ARC preamp / amp Those of you posting about modding do know that Steve Huntley worked for AR for years! He knows the product better than any of us ever could. Everytime I had a technical problem that Leonard couldn't answer guess who he would put on the phone to a... | |
| ADA, Bryston or Classe Ask the "local installer" what's his profit margin on ADA is compared to his Classe or Bryston accounts? Meaning he sells more ADA product to begin with? That's just my opinion regarding the dealer.He might be on the up and up. I would go with Cla... | |
| Better to change Speakers first or new Preamp+amp This dealer isn't in Southern California by chance? Find a dealer that isn't pushing selling new equipment. Your SSP-800 is a great unit to use a preamp processor. | |
| Looking for an XLR to XLR IC to add warmth Another vote for Cardas Golden cross.Gave me the warmth my old system required. | |
| inexpensive xlr cables for JL 113 subs Bd233, Just curious as to what you ended up with? Great timing that you happened to ask this question at the same time I needed balanced cables also. Just purchased a custom length pair of balanced cables from Blue Jeans cable to use with my 2 Fat... | |
| 3 channel amps really good Since you already own the Ayre why not stick with the same "house" sound? The Classe CA-3200 is the 3 channel version I believe? The 5200 is the 5 channel version. I'm saving for Classe amps myself to go with my SSP-800 that I just ordered! They w... | |
| Rel B2 or JL Audio f 112 Interconnects into the JL and adjust the crossover freq and slopes on the JL. Run the ARO prior to setting the crossover/slope points.There's a level adjustment on the panel also if needed. | |
| mark levinson problem Capacitors probably. Hold on to your wallet if you call Harman and get referred to "their" recommended service site.I have read that the centers were charging around 800-900 dollars to "look at it"? I would search for someone who specializes in Le... | |
| inexpensive xlr cables for JL 113 subs Changed from Cardas Golden cross to Signal cables for my audio needs.I also use monoprice for their video (HDMI) cables. I am done with the hype that we fall into when buying cables. | |
| which Brand of Reciever produces the Best Audio? I've been pleased by the sound from my Denon 3808 that I use as a processor only fed into my ML 335 and B&K 7250 amplifiers. Receivers have sonically improved quite a bit in the last 10 years! | |
| Will someone help me find a match for my ML336. I'm using a Audio Research LS25 MkII with my Levinson 335 with excellent results.I had planned also to use the ML 380S preamp and compared the two several times since my dealer carries both. I chose the Audio Research over the levinson because of ... | |
| REL Studio III vs. JL Audio Fathom 113 I owned a REL Stentor III prior to buying two Fathom F113's for my room which measures 20'Lx15'W. Loved the REL as it has been mentioned blends seemlessly once the proper setup has been obtained. Both are great products. My plan originally was to ... | |
| Fireplace and room acoustic Depends on how you have your speakers set up and the size of the fireplace. As mentioned the glass types can cause odd reflections and cause slap echo in your room even more if your back and side walls are not acoustically treated and are bare. If... |
