| Downsizing Setup Looking for Small 2 Way speakers. Selling my Perfect Storm Vapor Audio. Based on your room size and desire for a ribbon tweeter, I think that the NEAT Iota would be worth an audition. Incredible detail and robust sound that belies their size. They even come in a variety of colors to blend into your room.http://www.w... | |
| Matching a McIntosh 275 amp +C50 Pre-Amp +B&W 804D3's w/ spkr cable Transparent? I run Straightwire Crescendo III balanced interconnects and speaker wire for my Mac system (MC275 Mk VI, C1100, MCD550) to KEF Ref 5 speakers. This setup is so transparent (for lack of a better adjective) that it reveals everything on an LP or CD... | |

| Great bookshelf or small towers suggestions I was at a retailer recently selling a demo pair of NEAT Motive SX3 and PMC Twenty 21 for a great prices (I bought the Twenty 23 demos he had). He also had some used SF Guarneri Memento and Reference 3A MM DeCapo i for sale. I'm not affiliated w... | |
| What's going on with the audio market? Interesting responses, thanks! So what I'm hearing (minus the political comments) is a shift in the market away from high-end dedicated two channel systems, a saturation of used gear, less disposable income and prohibitive costs are the main culp... | |
| McIntosh C1100 Preamp Luckily I'm good with power cords and cables, so can focus on listening for a while. If I had to compare the C1100 phono to something, I would say that it's comparable to the JC3+ I had prior to the AF. I'm breaking in an MCD550 at the same time... | |
| McIntosh C1100 Preamp Thank you very much for going through that exercise. I figured the Audia Flight would be tough to beat head-to-head and I'm sure I am going to miss mine. Hopefully the C1100 will continue to improve and my memory will fade a bit :) My system is... | |
| McIntosh C1100 Preamp I would be really interested in your thoughts after you try the phono on the C1100 with a couple hundred hours on it. I was very disappointed with the issues with the Audia Flight, and did have some reservations before buying, but thought that th... | |
| McIntosh C1100 Preamp That's really interesting because I went from an Audia Flight phono (had a CD One M, too) just prior to getting the C1100. It certainly is a world-class phono stage and can understand how you would prefer it to the one built into the Mac. Unfortun... | |
| McIntosh C1100 Preamp 350+ views and no responses. I guess that means people are interested, but no direct experience. I'm happy to report that after about 50 hours of listening, I can say that it's a phenomenal preamp. Very, very quiet, projects an excellent sound ... | |
| Smoothest and best sounding turntable/cartridge combo up to $1600?? You can find a Rega RP6 with Exact 2 cartridge in that price range. | |
| vpi tnt still a performer? I have a VPI TNT Mk2 with a Graham 1.5 arm and Dynavector XX2 MkII cart. It's a wonderfully musical setup that I intend on keeping for a long while. | |
| Wilson Sophia 3 speaker and preamp mcintosh C50 .... Which power amp is suitable!!!! Congratulations on the new gear. McIntosh MC452 is a great match to the C50 if it fits the budget. The MC302 would also be an option at a lower price point. | |
| Integrated recommendation help In that price range, I would take a look at the Parasound HINT ($2,500) as it has nice power (John Curl design, too!) to drive your speakers and already has an excellent built-in DAC. http://www.parasound.com/hint.php | |
| Integrated recommendation help Now that I have that out of my system, paraneer is right, you have a nice set of speakers with lots of flexibility. In addition to your budget, it would be helpful if let us know what other components you intend to use (cd player, turntable, music... |
