| Hegel Mohican vs. Bryston BCD-3 @audiotroy This is one of the most common problems with Audiogon threads. The OP asks a question that is framed in such a way that it has particular relevance to himself. Along come the other posters and all too often the response is: (a) inste... | |
| Amps or Speakers which one to upgrade next While Rogue may be a "value brand", as I and many other contented owners have discovered, it offers not only bang for the buck but also very good sound in absolute terms. My CMII is driving PMC twenty.24's. My point is that if you were to buy $7... | |
| Need recommendation for CD transport (not Cambridge) @lordcloud The "advisor" wasn't specific, but you could tell he wasn't too enthusiastic about it. I might have considered the Cyrus, but I'm irrationally prejudiced against slot-loading machines. I don't remember if I considered the Bel Canto. | |
| Whats in your second system? As with most others, components that were displaced from the primary system (Ayre AX-7, ProAc Response 2.5), or newer pieces that failed to displace the existing component (Cambridge transport, Schiit Gungnir). | |
| Need recommendation for CD transport (not Cambridge) Are you in the US or UK? | |
| Speaker Placement Priority - wall clearance or perfect equilateral If you have the speakers closer to the side walls and toe them in more, to maintain the same vertex/crossing point, this will ameliorate to some extent the negative effects of the reflections from the walls. | |
| What is it that you don't like about your speakers ? How can you be 100% sure it's really the speakers producing the sound/effect that you don't like so much? | |
| Amps or Speakers which one to upgrade next Agree with simao.You have a pretty well-balanced system right there. It all depends on what you're trying to achieve, in more specific terms than "better".That being said, the CMII hits above it's price-bracket, so if it were me, I'd be looking a... | |
| Need recommendation for CD transport (not Cambridge) I have the exact same combination.The lack of direct track access irritates me. The lack of different displays of time (overall, remaining) irritates me. And the crazy clicking on pause certainly irritates me.Not a hint of mistracking though. T... | |
| Revel Performa F-206 versus B&W CM-10S-2 How might they differ in sound quality?? I listened to CM10 series 2's against Harbeth, Paradigm, and Sonus Faber, and the B&W placed fourth. The only speaker I've heard them sound better than was (at a different shop) GE Triton 2s. | |
| Power Wedge 116 I tried the AVA Humbuster and the Ebtech Hum X, which are supposed to eliminate different causes of hum, and neither of them worked for me. I'm moving on to more expensive solutions. | |
| What is the future for Proac Speakers ? You can find 12" square granite floor tiles in Lowes's or Home Depot. Buy three per side and glue together with adhesive caulk (for constrained layering!). Cool colors and a finished look... | |
| Are HT speakers best for primary audio listening or not? De gustibus no est... etc. etc.Not saying audio speakers can't be used for home theatre, many very successfully.And some audio speakers are similarly voiced in that "technicolor" way: e.g. the Sonus Faber Venere's, which sounded very impressive fo... | |
| What are your general thoughts of B&W speakers I ran B&W DM1800 speakers (with integral stands) as my main speakers for years. They were great, and I didn't feel the need to upgrade for the longest of times. B&W peaked with the Series III and pretty much went downhill since then. Mo... | |
| KEF, ProAc, Monitor Audio and others My new 4D system leaves conventional stereo and 3D in the dust.Besides width, depth, and height, 4D adds the further dimension of PRAT.Thanks to the "magic" of 4D, you are transported through a wormhole to the experience of the actual audio event ... |
