| Swapping the MMF 5 for an SL-1210M5G The Sumiko Headshell and Denon DL160 cart are a winner on the Technics. I did not want to have to mess around with input impedence on my preamp so I skipped the Denon 103. | |
| Low priced alternative to Benchmark Dac1 I had the Benchmark DAC1 and sold it and went to a Musical Fidelity A3.24 DAC (Stereophile product of the year a few years back).You can get them for $550 or so. Very satisfied with the results and you will be hard pressed to do better for the money. | |
| Speaker setup experts please? If you can afford Wilsons you can afford to have them set up by a dealer.Kind of harsh. Maybe the budget was stretched to get the Maxx's, maybe he lives far away from a deal and it will cost thousands to get someone out, or maybe he just doesn't w... | |
| How To Add A Sub To B&W N802's I had N801's and now have Signature 800's. I use a JL Audio F113 subwoofer. Word on the street is that it is much better than the B&W sub. I love it. Extremely tight bass and blends well with the mains. In my experience an upgrade to the bigge... | |
| Klipsch Cornwall Equivalent? Used cornwalls can be had for under $1000, maybe $600 if you find a realy good deal. Check out klipsch Forte and Chorus for less. Look for a Forte II with a revised midrage horn. You may want to go to the Klipsch forum. | |
| Musical Fidelity A3.2 or A3.5? Have not compared these but either should work just fine. Are you using integrated or separates? | |
| B&W 802 Matrix Series 3 tweeter replacement help? I fixed a blown tweeter in a Matrix 801. B&W will sell you a diaphragm for about $40 or if you send them the tweeter housing, they will replace it for something like $100. B&W 800-370-3740 (ask for parts, you will probably have to leave a ... | |
| B&W 800d's or MAGICO V3's? This may not be the popular opinion, but I have B&W Signature 800's. At this level there are minor differences and many sideways moves. Spend a few evenings listening to music that you love on your 800d's and ask yourself if you are really mis... | |
| Which Sub. Rel B-1 or Fathom F-113 I run an F113 with B&W S800's, it adds quite a bit but I have a large room. | |
| Would classic klipsch work here? Wireless, why 90's or newer? Is it the age (not a problem) or the new design midrange horn in teh Forte and Chorous?If it is teh age, a simple replacement of crossover caps is all that it takes. I have had severla pairs of Klispch speakers and the... | |
| Your last speaker? I think that I am finally at a stopping point with my B&W Signature 800's. They do everything that I want them to do. After a certain point, there are no earthshattering changes. I had N801's before that, many Klipsch horn speakers before that... | |
| B & W 800D I don't have 800D's but recently bought a pair of Signature 800's. I replaced a pair of N801's. Both are great speakers, and the S800's actually pass the WAF. I have never found the Nautilus or Signature tweeters to be harsh (the S800 has a differ... | |
| B&W 802D -- Classe' CA-5200 vs. Rotel RMB 1095? If your worried about the price spread, buy a pair of used Bryston 7b ST's for under $3K. I run a pair of Signature 800's with them and have no plans of changing amps. Here is a comparison from the B&W forum (Although most there say that the C... | |
| Thoughts on Era Design 5 monitors?? I have a pair of the D5's in my office and listen to them about 8 hours a day or more. They sounded very good with a Panasonic SA XR digital receiver (digitally amplified) and took a huge step up when paired with Musical Fidelity gear. However, I'... | |
| external x-over for sub.... I have a DBX 120 Subharmonic synthesizer that also incorporates a crossover that I am thinking of selling pretty cheap. Drop me an email. |
