| Graphic equilizers? IMHO unless you can afford the expense of a good one like a Cello or Sigtech or TacT you'll probably make things worse. Your new speakers might help. The money spent on a cheap equalizer might be better spent on room treatment. | |
| Vandersteen question. Marakanetz, I could make a laundry list of why I prefer the 2's to the 1's and find the 2's to be a better value, but you have obviously made the same comparisons and come to a different conclusion. To each his own. Ulitmately, every buyer does th... | |
| Vandersteen question. Of course your room and desired listnening levels are important in your amp selection. I think the Creek could run the Vandersteen 2's but, just barely. I would recommend an amp upgrade to get the most out of these speakers. As for Marakanetz reco... | |
| Retail pricing in classified ads Some manufacturers have different prices depending on geographical location. Thiel often has a differnet east coast vs. west coast MSRP. | |
| What is the Sound of Impedence Mismatch? Could you give us the complete system? | |
| What is the Sound of Impedence Mismatch? Drubin, It appears as though you have a poor match. I hate to confuse you any more but your cables can effect this equation as well. Would you mind posting the rest of your system? | |
| What is the Sound of Impedence Mismatch? May I suggest you look up the thread: How to match ohms with amps & preamps | |
| Best CD sound from a DVD player I'm surprised no mentioned the Arcam. I haven't heard it, but it did get some good press. Any opinions? | |
| Best CD sound from a DVD player Hackmaster, I'm sure it was just an over sight, but I think it would be appropriate to mention again that you are a Mac dealer. | |
| Any opinions on NAD quality? I've heard the same rumours Sugarbrie posted. Rumour was the transport had no transport screw. | |
| Time coherence - how important and what speakers? Well, Roy you share a quality with Jeff that I truly admire. You speak your mind. You also seem to share the same fault. You condemn those who take a different path. I do think that you seem to be a little overly critical of the "corporate entitie... | |
| What McIntosh Amp With Thiel 3.6 Speakers? Hackmaster, I don't think Thiel's nominal impedance rating is any more "virtually meaningless and certainly misleading" than most other speakers nominal impedance rating. In fact it's probably more meaningful and less misleading than most other sp... | |
| Krell amps and magnaplaner. Doe's it work? IMHO, the Krells have been overly criticized for being bright. Some Maggies can be adjusted accordingly. Care will be needed through out the system to avoid the brightness mentioned above. | |
| Non fatigueing speaker under 1500 We may be straying fom target. Your amp should have enough power for most applications, though I doubt many would consider it the antithesis of "hardness and glare". I'm a Thiel owner, but considering your original post I would suggest the Vanders... | |
| TV picture issue, anyone? AR used to make something like this. Perhaps you could find an old pair of used Meridians. I suspect you might be better off with a used small Adcom, B&K(?), Nikko, etc. power amp with built in level controls and have a better selection of spe... |
