| There's a lot more bass in a 6.5" driver than most of you think @pirad Description of the Magnepan subwoofer accompanying the "condo" 30.7."The bass unit was about 3 feet tall and about 1 foot wide. The cabinet or structure consisted of a V shaped open baffle with 8 total drivers—4 vertically mounted dynamic c... | |
| Spendor Classic 3/1 vs Graham Chartwell LS6 ? Apart from all the other links in the chain, I think you're also hearing the very different acoustic of the two rooms. | |
| Which amp would you go with A Brit integrated is the way to go. For instance, this:https://www.amazon.com/Creek-Audio-Evolution-50A-Integrated/dp/B00CA83ZQQ/ref=asc_df_B00CA83ZQQ/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312134464238&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=1497... | |
| How many speaker companies? All I know is that the listings in the latest edition of the Absolute Sound audio directory are woefully incomplete--and here we're just talking about loudspeaker brands currently available in the U.S. | |
| Higher End DACs One brand that you can definitely audition at home without any risk is PS Audio. At the very least would be worth getting their stuff to pit against the opposition. | |
| Can you tell me why I didn't like the Reference 3a MM's? mapman and I were at the same show. Call Fritz up and ask about minimum recommended wattage. Printed specs tell only a fraction of the whole story. For years I drove ProAc Response 2.5's with a 14watt Cary 300b, and those speakers were never li... | |
| From bryston to simaudio The Bryston is a good amp. In particular, it has muscle. The Sim Moon Audio products are more expensive because they are more refined; think muscle + sophistication. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Sudbin came up in the context of good recorded piano sound (BIS, SACD).Here's another recording whose piano sound I'm enjoying, the acoustic is different, there's a bit more resonance, but it does sound very much like a piano in a room.Paul Lewis:... | |

| Can you tell me why I didn't like the Reference 3a MM's? I think I have the solution. Fritz loudspeakers. I heard these driven with a 300B SET headphone amp at CAF and they were excellent. For the Pass it will be a breeze. Look at the Carrera and Carbon models. Fritz also offers a home trial. BTW,... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Listening now to Sudbin's Scarlatti on BIS. The piano sound is indeed very natural. Enjoying it and the contrasts between the short sonatas. Sometimes you can distinctly hear Bach in there, and sometimes very different composers. | |
| From bryston to simaudio Distinct upgrade. | |
| I need a loudness switch Or you could try one of these, at no risk (cost).https://www.musicdirect.com/accessories/Jolida-Foz-SS-X-Sound-Stage-Expander | |
| Cambridge Audio CXC Series 2 Return it and try an Audiolab transport. | |
| Considering getting a CD player (again). Used? New? Criteria? Buy new (because of transport) and get the most expensive Marantz you an afford. Marantz>Emotiva ~sound. |
