| I am looking to upgrade - looking for advice I like Bryston - currently for bass in my listening room (4BSST) and 5-channel for HT (9BSST). Bulletproof with service and warrantee to match, smooth elegant sound, not the last word in clarity, but then, not the last word in price either. Owned... | |
| Goodbye Everyone Yes, good luck. | |
| Goodbye Everyone @lewm You write, "Pradax is contraindicated in patients with AF, per an FDA directive" But I read the product monograph differently. It reads, PRADAXA (dabigatran etexilate) is indicated for the: prevention of stroke and systemic embolism in... | |
| Martin Logan vs. Everything I own a pair of ML Prodigy. They sounded good until I heard what appeared to be a middle C disconnect between ESL panel and cone driver (which @ghdprentice alludes to). Then I tried the Quad 2905 - much improved. Best of all, the Quad ESL’s can b... | |
| Speaker placement Quandary I have a purpose built listening room and simply could not make it work with conventional wisdom. In desperation I tried speakers on the long wall, 4 ESL's ( two T-configuations) close to the wall but angled, backed by records, the T's 4' apart. S... | |
| Help me spend $100,000 on a new system Sounds like you might be pretty good with your hands. Consider DIY - much higher performance, much more fun. | |
| Help me spend $100,000 on a new system My suggestion is "hang onto those cables." Cables are the least bang for buck and tend to be system-specific. Make any new cables show their superiority in your new system at your convenience. IMO As for the room, there was a feature about 4 year... | |
| Is my amp good enough? Don't forget used. There are some pieces that are indestructible, like Bryston electronics with their 20-year warrantee. Sounds very very good, not quite like the very best, but a pretty good approximation. You can buy a 20-year old design for fai... | |
| Is my amp good enough? I've done it both ways, successfully. You are in a very good place to make an upgrade to a forever system, one piece at a time. One piece at a time is the key. I heard speakers that I fell in love with, Magnapan Tympani 1A's. Bought them with the... | |
| magnepan PS: I've had some Magnepan in one of my systems continuously since Tympani 1A's in 1973. Fifty years of state-of-the-art which I could afford. I'll take a little inconvenience - but if you can't, there's lots of product nearly as good for 10x the ... | |
| magnepan I called them to ask about the DWM bass panels. Front office left something to be desired, but tech services was great, twice. I bought, twice. The four DWM panels transformed my ESL system and my HT. As for customer service, sure, anything can b... | |
| Goodbye Everyone I'm a bit late, a year or so, par for the course. For what it's worth, Elliot, when I see your name I always read. Same for maybe a dozen others. Glad to see you still here. | |
| True high-end Speakers need a midrange Centre channel is for dialogue more than anything else. To me that spells ESL. I use a Quad 2905, and it is excellent. | |
| Phono Stage, Tonearm, Cartridge Question - Which is the most important? I would say phono stage. To get the best from a cartridge you need a great tonearm. To get the most from a tonearm you need a great table. From a table, a phono. But cartridges wear out fast. Tonearms don't. Tables don't. Phono stages don't. So i... | |
| Quandry Agree with @lewm 100%. |
