| $1,500 Amp budget - Best options? Schitt? Topping? | |
| How many of us are truly satisfied with their systems? Yes. Finally. After 50 years. Thankfully. | |
| Looking for a CD / SACD player. Also, tell me about Esoteric I have the McIntosh MCD600. I think it sounds considerably better than my Luxman and OPPO players. The 600 also has a preamp section so you can go directly to your amps. Sounds better than going through my Topping Pre90. Can't recommend the MCD... | |
| B&W 800 Series D3 vs D4 Forgot to mention adding the subs also improved imaging, soundstage size, top-to-bottom cohesiveness, basically everything. Huge bang for the buck. | |
| B&W 800 Series D3 vs D4 I know this is almost a year later, but I just read it and this might help. I own the 803 D3. Mine also were a little light in the bass. A couple of JL Audio subs took care of the problem. Hope that helps. | |
| As good or better than Magnepan 3.7i Don't know where I got the idea your budget was 15k. Must been from another post. | |
| As good or better than Magnepan 3.7i OP- ok need smaller speakers. I'm guessing you love the "see through" quality the Maggies do so well. My B&W 803 also do that really well, as did the Vandersteen model 1 and model 2 I've had. The 803 are much more dynamic than the Vandies, and... | |
| BEST SPEAKER THAT COMES TO LIFE AT LOW LISTENING LEVELS I thought about my post and realized it may have come off the wrong way. I am truly sorry for your hearing issues and I honestly believe you would benefit more from headphones than speakers. Best wishes. | |
| BEST SPEAKER THAT COMES TO LIFE AT LOW LISTENING LEVELS Forget speakers. You need headphones. Sorry about your hearing issues. | |
| Will an Amp change improve my system ? Improve it? Maybe. Maybe not. Significantly? No. | |
| As good or better than Magnepan 3.7i Your Maggies are wonderful speakers! Why don't you wait until you have to downsize and see if they will still work? | |
| The Real Reason Why Music Is Getting Worse!! I enjoy all the music I like. I don't listen to music I don't like. | |
| Who positions their speakers straight ahead (zero tow in) and why. In my acoustically treated room my B&W 803 D3 sound best to me with no toe-in. The front of the speakers are 3' in front of the front wall, they are 8' apart, and the listening seat is 8' from the speakers. Soundstage width and depth increase... | |
| ATC SCM40A speakers A few days ago I came to the realization the only complaint I have with my 803 D3s was a somewhat strident treble. So I did the stupidly simple task of reducing toe-in of about 30* to zero (speakers are aimed straight ahead). Viola! Treble glar... | |
| Why Do ~You~ Still Play CDs? Got tired of ticks, pops, warps, SRA, VTA, protractor, alignment, anti-skating, force, cleaning, no remote, getting up to turn over record... Sold my last turntable after I bought my first CDP and have been a happy camper ever since. |
