| Best Speakers to match Ayre V-1xe and K-1xe Haven't heard them together myself, but your gear is reputed to be something special with Thiels. | |
| B&W 802 vs Thiel 2.3 Panheadrt, I'm not a fan of the B&W sound, I find them to be a bit "chalky". I will say that on one occasion, some time ago I heard a earlier version of the 802's driven by big hybrid counterpoint amp in a very large room sound simply grand an... | |
| Miles Davis "Sketches Of Spain" Me too. Thanks! I've only heard it on CD. Perhaps the most frustrating disc in my collection. Love the music, hate the recording. Trumpets sound like the mike was shoved right in front of the the bell. The soundstage makes me think the band was li... | |
| What's Toshiba replacing the Toshiba HD XA2 with? Johnnyb53, a very valid point. FWIW... http://crave.cnet.com/8301-1_105-9877956-1.html | |
| B&W 802 vs Thiel 2.3 At this level it's just a matter of taste. You have nice gear that should work well in both cases. For me the Thiels are an easy winner, but, you may feel differently. | |
| Horizontal bi-amping for 3a Signatures I'm curious as to exactly why horizontal bi-amp is discouraged by Vandersteen and Hardesty. Other than extra cable lengths, the reasons are not obvious to me. | |
| What's Toshiba replacing the Toshiba HD XA2 with? Sony has recently announced the next generation of Blue Ray players, and all of the above issues seemed to have been resolved, with the curious exception of SACD support. | |
| Are passive preamps better? Eldartford, thanks. Of course your correct. What I should have posted in regards to Aleko's post is that an amp with a low voltage input may permit more noise to enter. | |
| What is the bias of Forte 1a? I believe the 1a was purported to be pure class A, but I have some doubts about that claim. You might want to contact Threshold or post this question on diyaudio.com. I don't believe this was a Nelson Pass design, but he generously offers advise q... | |
| Are passive preamps better? Very low input sensitivity might allow noise to enter. | |
| Review: Ohm Acoustics Walsh 5 Series 3 Speaker I wish you continued enjoyment. | |
| Review: Ohm Acoustics Walsh 5 Series 3 Speaker Mapman, "that the Ohm/Walsh driver dabate has been beat to a pulp in several other threads here on A'gon so no sense in rehashing details" is curious in that your sentinments on thee speakers has been exhaustively contained in those very same thre... | |
| Review: Ohm Acoustics Walsh 5 Series 3 Speaker Just to clarify things, to the best of my knowledge; Ohm used to use true Walsh drivers in their speakers. Today Ohm markets an assortment of speakers as part of their "Walsh Series" but, the current Ohm Walsh Series do not use true Walsh drivers. | |
| Out of phase? Just a wild guess here. Perhaps you have a piece like some c-j pre's that reverse phase, that require you to reverse the speaker cables, and have forgotten about this requirement and re-setup your system in the more traditional manner. | |
| Budget amps. No knowing what speakers your using, really makes these recomnmendations pretty much a guess. I'll join in with my own guess, I always thought the Marantz MA mono amps were pretty good for inexpensive surround sound. |
