| The closest approach: what amplification? I hope the OP will forgive for going a bit off topic.Duke, with re: to "...the answer is to design speakers with as smooth an impedance curve as is practical." Would that be easier to do by lowering the impedance or by increasing the impedance? | |
| Oppo DBP-83 SE Perhaps with the fix, they'll fix the lack of balanced outputs? | |
| The closest approach: what amplification? Bill, what about the high output impedance? | |
| Quad or Magnepan? These are such different speakers that I wonder how you narrowed it down to them? | |
| How do I dampen my listening environment? How big a mirror should one use? | |
| Ever so slight platter wobble This is a common problem, that usually occurs when the user plays too many records consisting of Rock and Roll :). | |
| most articulate speaker In my experience yes, electrostatics and the Martin Logan CLS/CLZ's in particular, are the most detailed speakers in the frequency range you are refering to. | |
| best monitor speaker under $2000 I suggest you buy amplifiers for speakers, not speakers for amplifiers. | |
| Classical music speaker recs for small room? Another thought for a small room might be used Thiel SCS's, but the amp budget might go up. I humbly suggest you not get speakers that might "be a little too big for this space so they can be of SOME use when I finally decide to move...", unless y... | |
| How do I dampen my listening environment? With a hose? :) | |
| stereo amp vs monoblocks, any advantages? I suggest you check the archives. | |
| FOCAL CHORUS 716 V or Thiel 1.5 ? I humbly suggest amps for speakers, not speakers for amps. | |
| tube pre amp plus solid state power amps? Tvad, some of the smaller McCormack amps actually have a pretty high input impedance. | |
| Amp for Thiel CS6 I like McCormack amps a lot, but they're not my favorite choice with Thiels. I think the McCormack amps are a bit forward for Thiels. The best amps I've heard with Thiels are real Krells. | |
| Ia a good amp more important than a good DAC? Trelja, thanks for wording it better than I have. |
