| What Would You Do? Dump the Mac and purchase the SimAudio. Or better yet, check out the Odyssey Stratos amp and Tempest preamp. Each sells for $1k and comes with a 20 year warranty. And you would probably have to spend thousands more to even come close to the sonics... | |
| 35Hz - 25kHz -- A Partial 'Purist'? Karls, then you haven't heard the Bag End Infra-sub 18 inch subwoofer. Very musical and very tight. Almost too tight if you can believe that. I demo'ed the Bag End for a few weeks and was very impressed. I stepped down a notch musically and went w... | |
| Powering ProAc Response 2.5's Check out the $995 Odyssey Stratos amp reviews at odysseyaudio.com. I've not heard this amp, but from what all others say, it should blow away any other amp near this price range. I know several people who own the monoblock versions at $2000 and j... | |
| need help - Cd players Stan Warren also mod's the Sony s9000es for $250. I spoke with Stan on several occasions. Stan says it brings about 25% sonic improvement. A friend of a friend who is an audio reviewer had Stan mod his s9000es and apparently he claimed about a 40%... | |
| Is there a better amp than this... Beemer, you are correct. The 10T's love lots of power and that's what it takes to make them sing.With smaller budgets, I would certianly recommend a pair of monoblock Odyssey Stratos which should probably work just fine with the 10T's. One Stratos... | |
| Best Amp/pre-amp for Thiel 6s You might consider a pair of SimAudio W-5 amp's and perhaps Sim's P5 preamp. If you want a no-holds-barred powerful (300wpc@8ohm) and extremely fast amp at a reasonable price, look for a used McCormack DNA-2 at about $1800 and send it to Steve McC... | |
| need help - Cd players Read the review on the Sony DVP s9000es DVD/SACD/CD player in The Absolute Sound a couple of issues ago. You can pick up a used one for $700 or so. The s9000es is not the very best but it does so much so well. You would be hard pressed to find a b... | |
| Is there a better amp than this... Odyssey Stratos new at $1000 plus a 20 year warranty. Never heard the Citation nor the Stratos, but if the multitude of reviews on the Stratos are even close to being accurate, there probably is not an amp that can compare value-wise and power-wis... | |
| NHT Sub TWO I??? Any comments? Several years ago, I came really close to buying one. On paper they sound really nice. I'm glad I didn't. I've listened to two friend's systems who both had the NHT Sub Two. After listening to it and trying to dial it in, I'd rather do without. Th... | |
| Which is better, Lex. DC 1 or Theta Casanova From all that I've read, the DC-1 is nothing more than middle-of-the-road at best and the MC-1 was suppose to be much better but even that one is B-rated sonically by Stereophile.If you're looking for a musical pre/pro, there is certainly better o... | |
| WOW Aerial 10T vs. B&W 801II/III Porschecab, I received your email and will reply here. I certainly am no expert but will give it my best shot.One question is: Why are you playing anything at such an 'excruciatingly' loud levels? I can't imagine that volume level (you used the wo... | |
| Am I doing my speakers Justice? I've never listened to them, but if I recall correctly, the Salons are not a very efficient speaker.Regardless, a speaker of the Salon's caliber can always use more power unless your already have about 700 wpc. The 200 wpc that you currently have ... | |

| My first and last DIY project Very nice. | |
| WOW Aerial 10T vs. B&W 801II/III I own a pair of Aerial 10T's in Santos Rosewood and am powering them with a ss McCormack DNA-2 LAE (Limited Anniversary Edition) amp. The amp is powerful (300wpc@8ohm, 600wpc@4ohm) and extremely fast. And hooked up to the 10T's, just makes them si... |
