| Need thoughts on how to Best Max SQ when Streaming? With power conditioning, there are a million options. The best one I am familiar with in this price range is the inakustic at $3K. Incredible filtering and one of the better units, regardless of price. The issue is that the power cord they reco... | |
| Compact amplifier/CD player w/o speakers You could check out the Naim Uniti Star. It is an all-in-one with a CD player. Not inexpensive at $4990 but a superb unit and will match wonderfully with those Vienna Acoustics speakers. I literally placed an order for one this morning for a c... | |
| Soft, smooth organic SS integrated amps? Rega is warmer and sweeter sounding. They are all about PRaT. | |
| what amp are you using with wilson benesch speakers The distributor here in the US runs them with Ypsilon gear. Probably not appropriate from a budget perspective but informative in terms of sound.they are not particularly bright but also not warm. A neutral to slightly forward or slightly laid b... | |
| High End Bookshelf Speakers Class A Monos may not be essential. Certainly stepping up to a more powerful amp from pass would be a good option.There are other manufacturers that produce warmer Class AB or even hybrid Class D. You could also consider McIntosh, Naim, AVM or o... | |
| High End Bookshelf Speakers Not enough power in a relatively big room. The 805 D3s are the better option by far considering the amplification but I would look for a more efficient speaker or eventually seek out a more powerful amp. | |
| Anyone Successfully Go from Floor Standers to Bookshelf Monitors w/ Subs? For more than 15 years my speakers were Infinity Kappa 8.1s which are phenomenal towers. I struggled at first and tried a few different smaller speakers before I developed the ones I use now. They move a ton of air and are rather extraordinary. ... | |
| Speakers for a NAD C352 Integraded amp Revel Concerta2 M16 would be a nice option. | |
| 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... |
