| Denon 5910 / 3910 vs. Marantz DV 9600 IMHO, the Denon 3910 may be the best value. With Blue Ray and HD DVD on the horizon, expensive DVD players may end up being costly temporary excercises. The Denon's also offer HDCD decoding. While not up to the potential of more modern, ambitious ... | |
| The importance of component location... Listens2tubes, your wife never mentioned anything about that rather unique chandlier hanging in the basement? | |
| Which speakers vs Vandersteen 3A sig's in large rm Stylinlp 38, I'm not sure what you mean by "...stuck with a Tyler Acouistic situation." I will say that both Dunlavy and Meadowlark are out of business. My recomendations were based on the fact that all designs share major design philosphies with... | |
| Info wanted on Krell KMA 400's The KMA 400 B's are amongst my all time favorite amps. Dynamic as all get go, clear, transparent with just a hint of warmth. Reprince, the last pair of KMA 160 B's I saw sell here on Audiogon went for about $2100. | |
| Which speakers vs Vandersteen 3A sig's in large rm You seem to be describing a desire for Thiels. Other options include Green Moutain, Dunalvy and Meadowlark. | |
| The importance of component location... May I also add that amps tend to be the heaviest and hottest components in most audio systems. Keeping them low decreases the chance of them falling over and possibly hurting something or someone. Keeping them low may also surround them with the c... | |
| HDCD a flash in the pan already?? IMHO, having HDCD is worth considering. I'm guessing there are about 8000 HDCD's available. I doubt SACD and DVD Audio combined come anywhere near the number of HDCD's available. | |
| Best color s to paint dedicated listening room How dedicated is this room to listening? If there is any chance that the room may double as a video room, then color can be significant and color recomendations may become quite specific. | |
| Threshold S/500 II power cord suggestions? Its really subtle. Perhaps my choice of words is too strong. Most noticable on female voice where the singer just gets past normal voice to extend into that stronger but oh so feminine fequency and by some of the sharper high notes on piano. In bo... | |
| Is harmonic accuracy and timbre important at all? Shadorne, I'm not sure that the Dunlavy's are necessarily that compromised by the use of dual mids and woofers. Most of the Dunlavy's have measured +/- 1.5 db. I would think that better than most competitors. I believe Dunlavy used this approach t... | |
| Is harmonic accuracy and timbre important at all? I seem to continually be attracted to speakers that claim to be time and phase coherent. This despite the fact that they may sound quite different from each other. This attraction occured before I even knew anything about these design philosphies.... | |
| Threshold S/500 II power cord suggestions? Thanks for all the responses. Thorman I'm troubled by a kind of ghosting,ringing unwanted harmonic that it is especially noticiable right smack in the middle of the treble region. This amps seems to be very sensitive to cable connections and such.... | |
| sealed 3-ways Though it has 5 drivers I would still consider it a 3 way, the Dunlavy SC IVA's. | |
| Is harmonic accuracy and timbre important at all? Steve, are you sure of " Yes 4th order crossover by Green Mountain that intentionally present 360 degrees of phase, yeah, that'll fix things." is correct? Roy of Green Mountain has been a very generous contributor here on Audiogon and has always b... | |
