| Any HiFi equipment sound similar to YBA sonics ? Philip, I have no experience with your particular speakers except some of the older model hybrids and the Summit. I would assume they're still difficult to drive speakers as are with the other ML models. I still have and kept my first generation C... | |
| Any HiFi equipment sound similar to YBA sonics ? Philip,What's your main speakers by the way? For sources, would you be willing to fore-go CD players instead go for the DACs such as from Linn, Weiss, PS Audio, Berkeley, Ayre, DCS ....to name a few. I'm not as experienced as most seasoned audioph... | |
| Any HiFi equipment sound similar to YBA sonics ? Philip, I should have read the whole posts before responding, my apologies. For SS amplification, consider Pass' XA .5 series class A amps, this would be more in line with the sound you're after. Great transparency and presence. Keep us updated on... | |
| Any HiFi equipment sound similar to YBA sonics ? I think the closest similar sonic signature to the YBA (Passion series amps in particular) are amplifiers from Naim. Very clean, extremely low-noise floor, great dynamics and specifically strong and tight control of the speaker drivers (high dampi... | |

| Suggestions in upgrading from a Dynaudio 1.8 MKII? I was going to recommend the C1s but that is out of your budget. Other speaker lines I would suggest: Verity Audio, Audio Physics, Harbeths, Sonus faber to name a few. | |
| Dynaudio C1 + Mcintosh 275 amp, do they match? I have briefly compared a Mastersound Due Trenta SE Integrated Amp with the MC275 when I was auditioning the Harbeth SHL5 at a local dealer. The Trenta just drove the Harbeths to another level with impressive timbre, transparency, dynamics and mus... | |
| Piano Notes On Harbeth SHL 5 For box speakers, the quality of the speaker enclosures and drivers will pretty much dictate how piano tones and timbre will be reproduced. The Harbeth seems to lean more to the sound as you've described in most system, rich and warm pleasant tone. | |
| Why do no audio enthusiasts use McIntosh? 10-14-11: Hakuchosani think that MC is like a Rolex in watch world - if you wear one, most of the people will recognize it as a expansive and best watch... i do have one and few other brands (Patek, Zenith, blancpain..) - i stopped wearing rolex -... | |
| Thiel 3.7 vs Dynaudio C4 Rower, At some instances, the highs from the Confidence series reminded me of Thiel's. Both are exceptional speakers.Wadav,The S25 are indeed out of production, only a few pairs left from some of the dealers if I'm not mistaken. Give the mfgtr a c... | |
| Preamp for Pass The LS26 is a nice preamp, try tweaking it as suggested by Jeffjazz, or use no preamp at all if you haven't done so. | |
| Dynaudio C-4 or Revel Salon 2 Odokme,Have you compared the Salon 2s to the C4s or C2s? Sapphires are quite different from the Confidence series voicing, IMO. | |
| Dartzeel CTH-8550. RCA vs Xlr +1 on Stringreen's post. The fully differential balanced circuit design allows cancellation of noise and other spurious signal induced along the signal path, thus much lower noise floor can be achieved than single ended design. | |
| Quad 989/2905 all around qualities Katamapah,Maybe adding a subwoofer would solve some of the shortcomings you are having, specially on demanding type of music? If I recall correctly, the old Entec subs are quite fast and preferred by many Quad and ESL users. I use Rel Stratta III ... | |
| Dynaudio Audience 52SE vs. Contour S1.4 05-17-11: DwetteWell, my S1.4s showed up this afternoon and I haven't stopped listening.They are great speakers. I guess you got the matching stand2 or 4 as well which are also great if not the best. Enjoy! |
