| Focal Sopra 1 Bookshelves (with subs) or Focal Kanta 2s towers instead? Chiming in late but I have the Sopra 1 with stereo subs - Sunfire HRS10. Very punchy and excellent bass. I could actually hear the notes. Anthem STR pre and a McIntosh 462 to warm things up. The Sunfires are compact and do not take up a lot o... | |
| From B&W 804 D3 to Focal Sopra 2? Thanks James, Erik. Good food for thought. I don’t think I’ll get those Focals after all. | |
| Sopra No 2's or other alternatives? Regarding the brightness of the tweeters; how do they compare to the B&W 804 D3? Considering going from the B&W to the Focal but if they are a lot brighter then I’ll keep the B&W. How does the bass compare as well? | |
| Anthem STR pre and power amplifier Chiming in a bit late but I got mine about a month ago. I upgraded from their integrated and boyyyyy what a difference. Great definition and response. I currently have them hooked up to B&W 804 D3 and the sound is a big difference from their i... | |
| Cambridge CXC: Help finding a small, programmable remote? Has anyone complained to Cambridge? I just might. | |
| Cambridge CXC: Help finding a small, programmable remote? @hilde45 They sent me the wrong remote and would not exchange it. They sent me a remote for a home theatre system. None of the buttons resemble anything on a CD transport so I hope you didn’t buy it. | |
| Cambridge CXC: Help finding a small, programmable remote? There on only 2 left. You might want to pick it up and hold onto it in case it sells out. If its awful, I’ll let you know and you can return it. | |
| Cambridge CXC: Help finding a small, programmable remote? Fast forward to September 2020.The remote for the CXC was an almost deal breaker except I found one on Audiogon at a very good price. The remote is a huge chunk of real estate and the buttons operating the CXC occupy only the bottom third (or qua... | |
| Rubber Gasket around midrange - B&W 804D Never mind. I poked into it with a toothpick and it doesn’t go all the way through. Hope it stops there.Oh, and not so piece of cake for me. Looks like it would have to be disassembled from the back. My local audio guy has no experience with B... | |
| Do you "treat" your speakers rubber surrounds? I used Armor All on a car’s dashboard cover. It made it crack faster. Then again, the dash is vinyl. I imagine it would be worse for rubber. | |
| Free!! Who wants a box for a McIntosh MX122? FREE! No, I tore up the outer box and kept the inner . | |
| Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels imho, it should sound awesome but you’ll be frustrated that you can’t use them to their full potential. Its like driving a 600hp car in a 55 zone.:D | |
| Frozen McIntosh MX135 😰 Thanks so much everybody! Its the IC front panel and I'm going to get it back soon!🤗 | |
| Velodyne DD12 or DD15 Wow, great discussion. But Im quite a noob as far as subwoofer terminology and procedures. Its all Chinese to me, and I'm Chinese (ABC)! XD. Can anyone point me to some comprehensive publication or website on subs? | |
| Current Inexpensive sub that can get it done cheap Well, inexpensive means buy from the secondary market (preowned). The prices I see on gear in good condition 8 or 9/10 and can be almost 50 to 60% of list. So of course, you get better for less. Sellers on this site are pretty cool. I just bought ... |
