| Do Kimber KCAG's sound bright???? Silver Wire is just not a good application for Mid-Fi solid state electronics. It is that simple. Chris | |
| Do Kimber KCAG's sound bright???? I would upgrade your Adcom pre to a tube pre. Problem solved. Don't use cables as band aids, the Adcom is probably your demon. The KCAG was very nice when I owned it. Chris | |
| Definitive Technology BP- 20 Rapogee,Yes Def Tech offered optional finishes for the BP series. I believe they offered OAK, Cherry, and the standard Piano Black. Chris | |
| Subwoofer recommendations for mostly music I am not a BIG fan of using a subwoofer for music but the REL stuff is about as good as it gets in my opinion. A Rel Strata Used I believe will run you $850-$950 used here on Audiogon. I know a little out of your budget but I would dare to say wel... | |
| Need Help Choosing New Speakers I just helped a friend purchase speakers and she ended up with the JM 707s. I was very impressed with them. They are easy to drive and sound great. No real faults jumped out at me. As I stated in another post, I think you could do a lot worse. The... | |
| JM Lab Chorus Speakers? I helped a good friend purchase a pair of the 707s and I have continued to be impressed with them. I think JM has finally gotten a little more friendly with the crossovers on the lower line speakers as they usually end up with average equipment. T... | |
| Sonus Faber Amati or what.... The Amati Homage is the absolute best speaker I have heard period. I have auditioned and own dozens upon dozens of speakers. I do presently own a pair of Sonus Grand Pianos so I am probably a little biased as it is my third pair of their speakers.... | |

The Real secret to most great speakers is in the crossover. The ScanSpeak Revelator in the Amati Homage sounds nothing ... | |
| Your Opinion Please / SF Grand Piano H/ Cary SLI80 I just set them up and the Cary seems to power them perfectly so no worries! Now I just need to break them in. Whew! If I had to buy a new amp, I would be getting divorced at this point! Thanks for all the input..Chris | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Sonus Faber Amati Homage hands done. Nothing else has even come close.Chris | |
| SACD's to stay away from I agree on the Journey Greatest Hits and would also Suggest you stay way from TRAIN Calling all Angels. Horrible sounding SACD disc...Chris | |
| Hi Fi burnout. Yes, I have been there as well. I did not pick up an issue of Stereophile for years and sold all of my equipment and settled for listening to a receiver and a pair of Signet SL-260s and was very happy. But slowly, I began picking up issues of Ster... | |
| Best Floorstander Under 10K? I would strongly consider the Merlin VSMs or the Sonus Faber Cremonas. Both are incredible speakers. The Sonus are also DROP DEAD GORGEOUS! Good luck..Chris | |
| CES 05 Thanks so much for all the great information from the show! Cheers,Chris | |
| Camac-RCA or XLR-RCA adapter; Which is better ?? Adaptors are a sacrifice. I would suggest using a connection without any adaptors if at all possible. Chris |
