| Mac 402 or 501 for B&W 802D? Why so much power? How large is the listening room? I have the same speakers and find they are satisfactorily driven by my Cary 7B cinema amp with 100w, although most of the time I use my Krell 400xi with 200. My room is 14 X26 sitting at 9' I won... | |
| B&W CM Center vs CM Center 2? Longhornguy- I have the 802d's- just purchased last year. What is your take on the Emotiva amp? The CMC is very close to the CM1 which I had for a while. I liked them so much I took my time upgrading to the CM7, then 802.I dont think the tweeter d... | |
| B&W CM Center vs CM Center 2? I have the CMC for center, CM7 rear and 802's in front. I listen to SACD and music DVD's and dont notice any deficiencies. The CMC2 may or may not be much of an upgrade. An in home demo would help decide but usually isn't possible. Like you I dont... | |
| Whats the most you paid? Chayro- Never heard of that one-Do you have more details? Who is Tom DiP? | |
| B&W 804S + $2,000 used integrated I hear alot about power with the B&W's but run my 802d just fine with a Cary Cinema 7B 100W/channel. I also use a Krell 400Xi with 200w but the cary is smoother and can carry them for reasonable levels. | |
| Whats the most you paid? Chayro- I am with you on that song. I have 3 versions so far. House of the rising sun is another favorites song. Just got the Frigid Pink CD- gunning for the LP now. Hmmm maybe its the organ.... | |
| New Cartridge- Broke the Stylus When I went to pick up the turntable, the installer went to play it for me. He had some trouble removing the stylus cover and was fooling around in that area for some time-eventually kneeling on the floor to see better. I couldn't see exactly, but... | |
| Dual source speaker switch Curious to see if a acceptable solution was found. The Niles DPS 1 is the right type of switch but without the 5 way binding posts. I am looking to use my biwired banana plug'd speaker cables- any other thoughts?? | |
| Which would you prefer ATI 2505 vs Cary Cinema 5 I have the smaller (100w) Cary 7B and highly recommend these amps. Very musical, I was very impressed. My comparison is a Krell 400Xi | |
| Sony SCD-XA5400ES-Best SACD for under $10,000 How would the sony compare to the Krell standard SACD or the new Oppo SE? | |
| Pandora vs. Pandora One. Any audible difference? I listen to blues on internet radio and that has helped me identify new artists since I see the artist info and search for other albums. I look up on amazon and there are other recommendations that I look into as well. I also listen to bellyup4blu... | |
| Pandora vs. Pandora One. Any audible difference? I have the iphone app for pandora so I can stream radio while docked on my krell KID=pretty cool. I have found a lot of great music to purchase as well. | |
| 1st sound, Yamaha RX-797 ... Nice- After some break in time it will sound a little sweeter. I didnt really believe in break in until I experienced it first hand. | |
| B&W CM9 Vs. MA GS20 Vs. PSB Imagine T I would certainly value the listening experience vs opinions. We all like to hear what others say, but listening to them in person allows a better comparison vs what other house brands the store may have. | |
| B&W CM9 Vs. MA GS20 Vs. PSB Imagine T I own the CM7's along with the CM1 and CMC. I heard the CM9 vs the 7 and was impressed. The CM series have an excellent midrange, very real in detail. the bass should be acceptable without a sub unless you like the "boom" effect or perhaps with mo... |
