| Best used speakers under $3,500? Spendor SP1/2, Merlin VSM-MX, ProAc Response 2.5, Harbeth 5 - all of which can be had for far less than $3,500.00 and all of which are musical reproducers as opposed to accurate sound transducers. I'll go for music over transduction any day. | |
| What's Going On?? Sound changes every night Thanks for the additional info, guys. Last night music was perfect for the mood I was in. Wife went to sleep at 10:30pm and I was rocking until 1:00am with Beth Patterson, Stan Getz, and Grant Green. I am checking into power conditioners and a ded... | |
| Harbeth Owners - What do you think? Thanks for the input, guys. I like a musical presentation as opposed to an "accurate" or "audiophile" one. Accurate often means a lifeless rendering of bits and pcs as picked up by the mikes and, while working well in a studio, it doesn't usually ... | |
| What's Going On?? Sound changes every night Thanks, Rushton! | |
| What's Going On?? Sound changes every night I do have a volt meter and will try this. It has been very cold at night for the last 2 months here in Michigan, sometimes in single digits by 9-10pm. I'm also looking into power conditioners/regenerators and see the BPT Sig costs $2,500.00. Ouch!... | |
| What's Going On?? Sound changes every night IT'S NOT MY MOOD, DAMMIT! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!? | |
| replace c-j prem16 mk2. No, seriously, how do they work? It seemed to be some sort of exponential math equation and as a dyslexic math idiot I could not get a handle on it. Maybe you could just explain it up to the halfway "red" light point and then just beat me half to ... | |
| What's Going On?? Sound changes every night Mhu - What's a BTP 3.5 Sif plc? I've never heard of this. | |
| What's Going On?? Sound changes every night All the responses are much appreciated. Last night things were a bit bright as opposed to the perfect mix the night before and the rather dull presentation the two nights before that! This stuff just started about 3 months ago and is the same even... | |
| replace c-j prem16 mk2. The bass was excellent with both but maybe a bit more defined with the Placette. The sound did not brighten up so much as clean up as if I was looking out of a screen door and then replaced the screen with clean glass. I couldn't get the C-J to do... | |
| replace c-j prem16 mk2. I replaced a C-J LS16 MKII with a Placette Passive Linestage and got better openess and transparency. I was able to listen to music at lower volumes with better musical involvement. | |
| Amp for Proac Response 2.5 No wonder my wife giggles everytime she hears me tell someone about "my Air Tight"! | |
| Amp for Proac Response 2.5 I've owned and/or used the following amps with my 2.5s with great success over the 7 1/2 years owning them:Owned:Air Tight ATM300Cary Audio 572 SET monoblocks (don't buy these as the 572 tube has gone out of production and was quite unreliable)Tra... | |
| VTL vs Jolida You need a lot of voltage swung in order to get the Maggies and probably M-Ls to sing and tube amps are not the most efficient at this task. I'd look to something more amp and room friendly like ProAcs, Merlins, Silverlines, etc. | |
| VTL vs Jolida I've only heard the smaller M-Ls and in small to medium rooms. Even then they could not replicate the body and solidity that real music has. I would think you'd need something like the Statements for your rather large room, but again, I've not had... |
