| Cary SLAM 100 vs. Manley Snapper Good luck with your purchase. Hopefully they will be what your looking for. | |
| I have 50w+50w Tube Power Then What? Having owned both the 650w/ZU and RS1 with Singlepower amps, I would look at used Harbeths w/subwoofer or Tannoys. Either will put you somewhere between the phones you own, and work with the power your amp has. Good Luck. | |
| LOMC... phono stage okay, but which cart? The 17D3 is a very nice cartridge, the xx2 MKII is alot better. Something almost new like this might be what you looking for.http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?anlgcart&1248640585&/Dynavector-XX2-Mk-ii- | |
| Cary SLAM 100 vs. Manley Snapper Not 100% sure how he is using them with his Vandersteens (quatros) but tried both with my Harbeths. Both amps are very nice. But the flow of the music seemed to move along at a better pace with the Manleys. YMMV. His system also uses a Cary preamp... | |
| Are Harbeths really "all that?" I would call it trying until you get it right. ;-) | |
| Cary SLAM 100 vs. Manley Snapper I liked both but bought the Snappers. Faster, quieter, more punch, and IMO a little more resolving. I have had mine for about four months, they hold there bias and are 100% quiet. I consider these amps a steal even at there new price. I also tried... | |
| Are Harbeths really "all that?" Try them and then decide. i did and bought them. To me, worth every penny. | |
| Compact 7ES-3 There are a couple nice pr. here on Agon right now. I use the SHL5s with sound anchor stands and have really only run into one problem with them.............Thats wondering how I can come up with the $$$ for the 40.1s. ;-) Good luck in your Harbet... | |
| Thiel 3.7 Placement I always preferred my Thiels (CS7.2) firing strait into the room over toed in. I also like the 3.7s that way. | |
| Best Used Floorstanders for Rock & HT under $2100? I've owned the Legacy Classics and the PSB Stratus Gold. Both like power, both would do very well in the system you are going to use them in. The Classics are much nicer to look at. Pretty much a draw sound wise, with a little deeper bass from the... | |
| Krell FPB-400cx vs. Pass 350.5 for Thiel 3.6 Several reasons. Wanted a smaller, cheaper, more forgiving system. I also wanted to put the difference in price into my vinyl system. but have not been able to do that yet since i lost my job shortly after selling off alot of gear. Really like the... | |
| No phono input on Jadis but want to buy tunrtable Lokks like you should stick to a MM cartridge or possibly a high output MC. | |
| Match subwoofer to Spendor S3/5? I like the REL. Blends great with my harbeths and I would think it would also work well with your Spendors. Taps off your speaker outputs on your amp and you run your speakers full range. | |
| Looking for preamp suggestions BAT all you ask for and more. Plus they sound great. |
