| Focal vs dynaudio The Focals are great speakers but warm is not a word I would use to describe them. The M33 is a great amp and the feature set is insanely good but it is neutral, not warm. What features in particular are you using? The M12 does not have room co... | |
| Best skiinny floorstanders If you like that immersive experience, I would look seriously as Sansonic. The MB5 B is going to be thin with great bass response. The MB6 B will be taller and you may find it visually less appealing. Both will be in your price range. Another ... | |
| Looking for my Final Pair!! How big is your room? What is your amplification? MBL 126s are in that price range and if your room is not to big and you have a good 4 ohm stable amp.... | |
| Low gain preamp options So...I certain that I can have the gain customized on my Art Audio preamps. The Conductor and Conductor Simply have adjustable gain. The Conductor I had switched between 0dB and 25dB, the latter driven by gain for the headphone amp. Basically, ... | |
| 845/211 tube amplifiers with kef reference 5? You going to have limited output with a 50w PP 845 even with feedback. Again, the issue is going to bass distortion during peak dynamic moments at low frequencies when you push above 100dB. Most of the time it will be just fine. | |
| Opinions wanted: 10-30K Speakers for Jazz/Folk Marten speakers are great! I have a friend who just moved from Kef Reference 5s to Marten Mingus Quartets. He is driving them with AVM Ovation MA 8.3 Mono-Blocks and it is insanely good using his Chord Dave as DAC and Preamp. I believe for flo... | |
| Opinions wanted: 10-30K Speakers for Jazz/Folk Agreed. Their are many products in this price rang that meet the "sounds great for jazz and folk" but there are so may styles and different types, it is tough to suggest anything. What are the room dimensions? How far will you be sitting from t... | |
| Anyone Recently Change to Class D power? Safety???? You would think high current amps that run ultra hot would be far less safe than lower current amps that are cool. You can debate whether they sound good, but I don't think there is any criticism in terms of safety of Class Ds. What ... | |
| Ayre AX5 Twenty I have one here that was a customer trade. Anything I can answer for you? | |
| Canton Reference ? any comment? I find them brightish, very similar to B&W or Revel’s BE tweeters so amp pairing is important. Not quite as bright as Paradigm or Kef. I feel like B&W is probably the closest speaker to it from a tonal perspective. The soundstage to me ... | |
| Canton Reference ? any comment? I like these a lot. In Germany, Canton dominates the marketplace and is a huge brand. The Ref line is very, very good. So good I have been considering taking on the line. I would say they go toe to toe with B&W and Kef at the relative pric... | |
| Next step up from Acoustic Zen Crescendo II's good luck. PM me if you have any questions. I am happy to help. | |
| Next step up from Acoustic Zen Crescendo II's I looked up your amps and I thought they were 150w into 8ohm, 300w into 4ohms. If they are are 600w into 4 ohms, they will work for MBLs. Depending on the model, 300w into 4 ohms is minimum recommended power. That being said, the TAS review of ... | |
| 845/211 tube amplifiers with kef reference 5? Peaks in SPL are usually at lowest frequencies. I have ne problem driving less efficient speakers with a 45w 845 push-pull to reference levels because I never pushed the limit in terms of SPL because the speakers rolled off at 60hz. And to Ralph... | |
| Integrated Amp for Dynaudio Special 40 I have a friend who is running these with a Sugden and says the sound is to die for. He is listening near field. |
