| JM Focal 1037 BE speaker placement Recently I got a pair of 1028be2's. My room is a cathedral ceiling with a Loft over the listening area. 9' ceiling, then open on both sides. My speakers are setup in a modified triangle with 2'10" out from the rear wall. Sidewalks are 17' away. Th... | |
| Focal 1038 be VS B&W 802D : mid-range My 1028BE2's are broken in now and I've changed my CD Player to a new Moon Neo260D. I couldn't be happier and I'm so glad I auditioned the B&W's, Triton and Focals using several amps. The 804D required a lot of power to sound good and had to b... | |
| Has anyone heard the Focal 1028BE ? I purchased a pair of 1028BE2's in June. They're an incredible speaker with unbelievable detail and transparency without hardness. The bass is tight, fast and well balanced with the midrange and highs. They image great and draw me into the music. ... | |
| Thoughts on my Sim Moon 260D CD player Right around the 240hr point I noticed my 260D "opened up" a bit more. Vocals that were recorded "hot" seemed to sound louder but not constricted as they did with every other CD player I've tried. I've got no idea why this could happen because my ... | |
| Thoughts on my Sim Moon 260D CD player I've had my Neo 260D for several weeks now and I'm quite pleased with it's sound.Currently I'm using it as a transport with an external DAC so I can't comment on the quality of the DAC card. It's definately a very detailed and smooth sounding piec... | |
| Thoughts on my Sim Moon 260D CD player How do you like the player now that you've had it for a while? I've been considering replacing my Cambridge CD transport/Bryston DAC with either the Moon 260D or a NAD Music Server. I'm not convinced yet about the benefits, and hassles of using a ... | |
| Focal 1038 be VS B&W 802D : mid-range 've had B&W CM7's setup mostly for 2ch, but they also served well connected to a HT system. For years, I used both a 2ch stereo amp, then switched speaker wires and used a HT receiver while watching movies.It was time for an upgrade so the cho... | |
| NAD M3 Master Series Amp Thanks guys for all the replies. Today I called Bob Moran at NAD Canada. He got me setup with a service center in Baltimore that's going to run the firmware update for me. He said it's something I could do with a Windows PC and sent me the codes, ... | |
| NAD M3 Master Series Amp Thanks for the replies folks. The Niles switch is something I don't want to use, I don't like anything inline with my expensive speaker cables.Also, I've tried using the L/R outputs from the receiver into the M3 but I had to have the M3 volume up ... | |
| Mapleshade boards under speakers I concur about using the Maple Platforms coupled with brass footers. I'm using Mapleshade Platforms with brass heavyfoots countersunk into the maple platforms so as to not raise my speakers any higher. My CM-7's sit on Brass Heavyfoots on top of t... | |
| B&W CM7 I found these speakers need air to breathe if you want to get the best sound. When I see them setup in dealer showrooms they always have them fairly close to the rear wall with no tow-in and sound mediocre at best. Mine are about 5.5' from the rea... | |
| B&W CM7 I've got a pair of CM7's. They are good speakers but I've found that setup can make them sound far better.I mounted mine on Mapleshade Platforms with brass footers. I tilted the speakers back by using a custom made brass spacer under the front foo... | |
| Integrated for B&W CM7s? I've got CM7's and have an unusual setup. For 2ch, I use the NAD M3 Master Series amp running Discovery Essential Speaker Cables with good quality banana plugs. When I want to watch HT, I'm using an Onkyo Receiver, Discovery 123 Speaker Cables, CM... | |
| What Mobile Fidelity lp or cd is your fav ? My favorite Mobile Fidelity, actually the only one I really like from MFSL is Cat Stevens "Teaser And The Firecat. Most other MFSL re-issues sound bright and lack a deep bass like the original vinyl issues, and are just not musically involving. Te... |
