| SACD dealers in Chicago Audio Consultants and The Good Guys in the suburbs, S. Halsted I think. The Sony store also for sure and I did hear the 777ES at The Good Guys, but it was the only model not to mention horribly over priced. | |
| Best Tweeter for DIY project Try the Seas Excel Millenium if you can bear the thought of a less expensive reference tweeter. Most people think the more expensive product usually wins, but this is not always the case. Its virtues are see through transparency, clarity and are v... | |
| Electrocompaniet AW60 or Blue Circle BC 22 I have owned a BC22 now for approximatly 7 months and I have been very pleased with it to say the least. Its key characteristics are a beautiful full midrange, absence of any harshness, extended lively top-end and just plain involving. Not long ag... | |
| Any experiences with Harbeth monitor 40? I'll let you know as soon as mine arrive:) The HL7ES's are nothing short of amazing. They are the best "mini" monitors I have ever heard, period. I can only imagine how good the Monitor 40's must be. Someday, if I am lucky :) | |
| Best used preamp for around $1000. . . Blue Circle BC21. No doubt. | |
| OTL amps Philefreak, no I have not had the opportunity to listen to any other OTL's. A friend of mine gave me a very strong recomendation for use of the David Berning ZH-270. He had used other OTL's before and said this one is one to have period. His stron... | |
| OTL amps We are currently using Harbeth Compact HL7ES's and Jean-Marie Reynaud Twinn MKll's with the ZH-270. The David Berning ZH-270 works extremely well with dynamic speakers such as these and I am confident that it would also mate well with various othe... | |
| OTL ,Transcendent,Atma-Sphere,orBearning Check out the David Berning equipment. The ZH-270 may be just what you need. It produces 70W @ 8ohms. It also increases output as the load increases, unlike other OTL's in which the opposite applies. The ZH-270 sounds incredible in every aspect. I... | |
| OTL amps Check out the David Berning products. Just a note, the Berning ZH-270 increases power as ohm load increases, unlike other OTL's, in which it is just the opposite. Really, it has the most advanced designed layout of any OTL. Check out the Berning w... | |
| Built your own speakers ? Carl, I am sorry if I was sounding like a speaker building "basher". I have had some bad experiences and though I have learned by them, I would really consider building again if I could tackle the project with better knowledge and patience concern... | |
| Built your own speakers ? I have built speaker kits from Madisound and even though they are very neat when you first complete building them, they never seem to sound quite right. This is the impression I've had about every kit built speaker I have heard. I had Source Techn... | |
| Marantz SA-1 (SACD player) available ? Sorry, I forgot to comment on the Sony SACD player. It's hard to say how the Sony will compare to the Marantz. I would like to hear both players in the same room, but I know that won't happen at my local audio shop. If you really want to examine t... | |
| Marantz SA-1 (SACD player) available ? I heard it will retail for $7500.00 and will be out shortly. Chances are if you approach your local Marantz dealer with a serious intent to purchase, they will probably find a way to aquire one for you. My question is will the SACD format be the b... |
