| In-Wall speakers with a cabinet ie. Triad? I purchased SpeakerCraft Starlet 9 in-wall speakers. I need a center channel speaker. I am thinking of Triad in-wall bronze or silver. The reason for the Starlet purchase was the price. $1999.00 for a new pair. | |
| In-Wall speakers with a cabinet ie. Triad? I have two Velodyne servo 1200 subs for the HT system. I do care more for HT on this system then Music just want to keep front stereo HT speakers to $800.00 or less. Used Triads would be great if I can find them. I just bought a Pioneer 5060HD pla... | |
| Upgrade from Merlin VSM-M to What? My speaker jumpers stink. They are larger then 15Ga.The speakers are not bright, but smooth and detailed. When I used my Melos Audio separates (before the Karan) I was able to use the second set of pre outs to my subs. I did not own the VSM's at t... | |
| Upgrade from Merlin VSM-M to What? Thanks Bobby.I use a single run of speaker wires and cheep, left over old speaker cables, cut into jumpers. I am on the east coast as well about 2 hours outside New York City. I have to run to Philly tomorrow and will try to give you a call before... | |
| Upgrade from Merlin VSM-M to What? Love your post Sbank!!Cenline, my speaker cables are Gregg Straley's Reality Cables. My interconnect cables could be suspect and my power cables, I am ashamed to say, are tied to a power strip connected to a 14 gage extention cord.I own a construc... | |
| Upgrade from Merlin VSM-M to What? My amp outputs over 200 watts into 8 ohms with pure class A to 75% of the max output. A damping factor of 2500:1 and 72 Joules of stored energy per channel. The bass control is fantastic and the Karan loves the Merlin VSM speakers. I can't oversta... | |
| Upgrade from Merlin VSM-M to What? If I had to choose one update would you think the BAM update over the MM update? $450 for the bam seems good. | |
| Upgrade from Merlin VSM-M to What? How is it possible to integrate a sub into a system using the merlin bam and having no preamp outputs in my integrated? I don't need 28 cycles, just more of what the VSM's do. I am afraid to ask what the upgrade cost is to the MX and Super-BAM + s... | |
| Is There any Truly "High End" Integrated Amp? Yes, as Cenline has stated above, the Karan KA-i180. I was reading through this post to see if anyone would mention this masterpiece of audio gear. Don't believe me? Do you trust TNT audio? TNT audio reviewI was using Melos Maestro tubed preamp ($... | |
| Best redbook player for under $1000 I third the Eastsound CD-E5. It has replaced my Proceed CDD and Audio Note DAC1.1x combo. I use it with a Karan KA-i180 integrated and Merlin VSM-M speakers. It is very good! | |
| REALITY CABLES ? I purchased the speaker cables. They are very good sounding. | |
| What is the flavor of the year now ? Maybe not yet on Audiogon, but the Eastsound CD-E5 is getting alot of attention. So much so I had to buy one for myself. Don't spend $1000.00's on other players. This $750.00 cd-player is amazing. I know it is an import and a warranty repair would... | |
| Jolida JD-100 or Eastsound CD-5 ? I received my Eastsound CD-E5 about two weeks ago. It replaced a Proceed CDD transport and Audio Note DAC1.1x dac. Wow what a great player the CD-E5 is. I also built a CD-PRO2m transport and a 0x oversampling DAC. The CD-E5 killed that too. For $7... | |
| Changing receiver from Arcam to? I have a a $6000.00 integrated amp and wanted to go to an HT setup. I bought an Arcam AVR300 and enjoy the the two channel sound as well as the HT part. The AVR300 does not sound quite as good as the $6K integrated amp, using the same speakers (Me... | |
| Hybrid system with separates vs. receiver The AVR300's amps are very good sounding. If you try the set-up as you explained above, then compare it to the AVR300's internal amps. You may find yourself selling the McCormack and using only the AVR300. I speak from experience. I thoroughly enj... |
