| Aesthetix Calypso Signature vs. ARC REF 3 I agree w/Swanny76109..Didnt like the build quality..and its too cameleon like changing its sound from tube to tube..I prefer a pre that doesnt wave in the wind with different tubes | |
| Wilson Sophia 3 IMO, the Sasha tweeter is more natural sounding and easier to listen to than what was previous..and the W/P line forgetaboutit!!Im guessing Wilson will sell alot of the new Sophias | |
| Dynaudio Confidence C2 or Focus 360 ? yes find me a nice pair for 8 grand..Ill be waiting,lol..last legit pair(about 3-4 weeks ago) just sold on this site for 10,5K in about 3 days | |
| Dynaudio Confidence C2 or Focus 360 ? I've seen them for $8k on the used market.Ill take every pair you have at that price ..try 10-11 grand | |
| 802d for a 10x13 room, 8ft ceiling - am I nuts? YES! | |
| Can anyone help me biasing a Jadis Defy 7? I remember backs in the mid 1990s taking my Defy 7 to Brooks to retube,setup..It cost me over $800 for 12 matched 6550s and pre tubes,and that was a good guy cash under the table deal..Sold it shortly after that and went solid state. Never looked ... | |
| Revel Studio2, Thiel 3.7 or Wilson Sophia 2 IMO..Never liked the Studio2s,way too sterile..Know nothing about the 3.7 as Thiel never appealed to me in the past so I never went out of my way to listen to them..The Sophia2 is a special speaker and this is coming from a guy who doesnt like the... | |
| Paint crack Wilson Sophia 2 More common than ya think..Wilson has paint issues that are well documnented | |
| Dynaudio burn in time and how you do it... Several 100 hours..put on the cd and let it play.No real secret | |
| Speaker cables for Dynaudio C1 IMO..Nordost is totally the wrong direction(been there done that)..Way too sterlie with the C1s.They are already very detailed and with Nordost/a good thing gone bad.I suggest Cardas gold series or above for starters...I run MIT with my Confidence... | |
| B&W N800, 800D, 802D for my room 16x17x8 "Tight deep base is important" and B&W speakers..an oxymoron,IMO..Flabby/slow/bloated maybe but never tight..Look in another direction | |
| Focal Mini Utopia vs Merlin MXe Sstalwar...IMO, the Micro BE would be a better step up and of course the new UtopiaIII if wanting to stay in the Focal family.If it were my money I would addition the Dynaudio C1.At 4 grand on the used market there is no way you can compare the mi... | |
| McIntosh MC 275 Mk IV or V with Harbeth M-40.1? Pdreher..I understand that retro thing as at one time I collected vintage Mac tube amps and ran JBL/Tannoy/Altec for years.Much to my surprise I found what was really missing when I drop coin on a pair of Avalons over 10 years ago.Detail,energy,dy... | |
| McIntosh MC 275 Mk IV or V with Harbeth M-40.1? IMO, I would think the Mac with the 40.1s would be too much of a "good thang".Never heard them together ,only in seperate system and wouldnt own either..guess thats what makes this an interesting hobby.. | |
| Focal Mini Utopia vs Merlin MXe I owned the Minis for well over a year and never could get them to sound even close to good..Tried Pass labs 150.5/McIntosh 402 as well as numerous tube amps including AR/Cary/Wavac( paired up with a couple different subs) Loaned them to a buddy a... |
