| Paradigm vs Vandersteen Hard to imagine two speakers that sound more different than these. I auditioned both the 2ce's and the S100V3's side by side driven by Theta gear. Vandy's, perhaps more than any other speaker, foster a real love 'em/hate 'em response from most lis... | |
| Von Schweikert VR2 vs Sonus Faber Grand Piano H You might keep your eye on this auction as there's no reserve.http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=14993&item=5724093816&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVWI'm not a fan of SF's house sound; a little too laid back for my taste. ... | |
| Replacing Vandy 2CEs w/ Monitors--Can It Be Done? You might consider the Von Schweikert VR1's while you're at it. Exceedingly musical, drop down to 40hz(!), beautifully built w/ real wood veneers and serious components right down to the Cardas rhodium binding posts. They also have a ridiculous of... | |
| B&W 703 or VR4 jr? Owning both B&W and VSA products, I'm kind of surprised you're comparing these two speakers because:1) The VR4jr is $1K more, which is a considerable amount2) They sound very different IMOIf you like the B&W sound, I think you'd be better ... | |
| How does upsampling affect cd playback? Thanks for the quick response. I asked that question at AR and was basically told I had imagined the difference in sound and couldn't trust my own ears! Your explaination makes sense. | |
| NewB needs help OK, don't laugh. Remember, I'm new to this.Room dimensions are apprx. 16'x24' w/ 12' ceilings. Source is Sony DVP-C600D via optical to Denon 3803. Fronts are currently powered by B&K ST140 while a CDM CNT and 1NT rears are running off the inli... | |
| Proceed HPA3 / Denon 3803 combo question Thanks for the info. I've yet to hear a SS match a tube for sweetness but I am glad to hear it leans that way. I listened to a friend's Odyssey Stratos and came away very impressed. He states they were at least the equal of the HPA, if not superio... | |
| Paradigm 100 v.3 – B&W 804 dilemma… please help Good choice Dboy. For what you listen to I'm sure you'll like the B&W's a lot more than the Paradigms. They are to my ears, a lot more accurate, especially in the mid-bass whereas the 100's tended so smear. I auditioned using a Dave Weckl trac... | |
| Using Denon 3803 as pre/pro a good idea? God, things were so much easier before HT...Terrific advice that I hadn't even considered, however one of the reasons I bought the Denon was to utilize its DACs as the Sony's are pretty frightening for music (hence the optical connection). I'm on ... | |
| Using Denon 3803 as pre/pro a good idea? SStark,Are you actually unplugging your amps and speaker wires to your L/R to your AVR and switching in your pre-amp? What kind by the way? I'm hoping you have an easier solution. |
