| Kal was right! They are tremendous speakers. Enjoy! | |
| Anyone know of an independent tech out there with experience in Bryston amplifier? Geographically, that is a gap for me. I would contact Steve at "The Service Department" in Bridgeport, CT. He is the national repair center for a lot of brands and is an ex Krell employee. I would be shocked if he can’t fix it. That being said, a... | |
| Have you ever been turned off by an Arrogant Dealer? Thoughts This is more reflective of our hobby and not the vast majority of Americans. The same sort of thing happens with Whisky. Don't walk into certain bars and ask for ice or water in a single malt scotch without being insulted by the bartender and ha... | |
| Have you ever been turned off by an Arrogant Dealer? Thoughts Before I started Verdant (and this was part of the reason I did), I made the rounds to multiple dealers in NYC. One I really liked but there wasn't a match in terms of products. The others....when I asked "why does every track I select on this s... | |
| Anyone know of an independent tech out there with experience in Bryston amplifier? What market are you in? I know a bunch multiple techs who can do the work. | |
| Higher powered but efficient amp with the imaging of a Pass XA-25? If you are looking for more power and the warmth and sweetness of Pass, I would suggest AVM. They use a MOSFET output stage that is brilliant and offers the kind of textured sound you are looking for rather than the hyperdetailed cleanliness of a... | |
| Preamp recommendations for my system please On your list, I like the Ayre. I have always like the sound of that brand and it has been a part of some of the best sounding systems I have ever heard and I used to have a K5xeMP. Another option would be the PS Audio BHK Signature. I persona... | |
| Sabrina X Amp Suggestions The best I have ever heard Wilson speakers sound is with Ayre gear paired with an Esoteric DAC featuring the MX-R Twenty mono-blocks. I am not sure what your exact budget is but a VX-R Twenty would be incredible with a decent preamp like an ARC w... | |
| Solid state amp recommendations for Maggies? I can think of four very good options that I think will give you great performance: Bryston. It is a brilliant match with Maggies and for a long time has been at the top of everyones list to pair with these speakers. It is definitely worth cons... | |
| PC for Gryphon Diablo 300 I am disinclined to recommend AQ if you are not using a Niagara power conditioner. I have found they tend to perform best wth a Niagara and are not quite as great if you don't have a unit that uses the same grounding system. If you are looking... | |
| What Component Am I Missing? You have a great system. The weak links IMO are the Furman and NDX v1. Furman is good, not elite. The DAC streamer is a little old so that will eventually need to be replaced. For Power, I would look at the Inakustik AC 3500P. It is very air... | |
| Suggestions for high efficiency speakers? @fosolitude yep. I am sure we met at CAF 2019. Avantgardes are a pain to setup. With the powered bass, you have a ton of flexibility in terms of DSP to get the bass just right and timed perfectly but by extension it is not speedy and super ... | |
| Speakers for a Large Room (20’x37’) @yyzsantabarbara that is consistent with my experience. Usually, you only run into an issue if the cieling is low (like 7' in a basement) with a bigger speaker like the K90 or a G2. Front and side walls surprisingly have minimal impact. Even th... | |
| Speakers for a Large Room (20’x37’) Audiotroy's point has come up before. Years ago over in Stereophile forum, I had made a comment on the LS50s and he argued they had an issue at high volumes due to the tweeter limiting excursion. This would extend to any speaker using the UniQ d... | |
| Best light weight full range speaker recommendation. Vivid Kaya 90s are 87 lbs, the Kaya 45s are only about 57lbs. "Full Range" is tough but they both extend well below 40hz and will give very satisfying bass and are easy to place. Even lighter is the Spendor D line. The D7.2 is 48lbs while the... |
