| B&W 805D vs. Dynaudio Contour S1.4 Stratguy, both are great speakers and has their own personalities and strength. IMO, the 805s' are easier to drive than the 1.4s. It takes a little bit more effort in choosing components to really make the 1.4s sing (typical of most higher end Dyn... | |
| REL Strata III spikes Valinar, I don't think it comes with spike set. Mine didn't. | |
| Class D vs Class A Education Inna, I suppose dollar for dollar, D amps win and would likely be close to the ideal in general (97~98% level). Small, light weight, low price ..etc are a big plus for us in a typical home. On the other hand if price, space and heat is not a conce... | |
| Class D vs Class A Education IMO, the type of music would strongly lead to one's preference over the other. Class D has all the efficiency and power reserves for strong and demanding type of music. On the other hand, Class A typically has the refinement and finesse to track a... | |
| Can a Cary SLI-80 power Martin Logan Spires? I agree fully what have been said about this wonderful INT amp. Lovely tonal presentation and excellent control of most speakers including difficult ones. One of the best INT amps, IMO. | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? The one and only "Grant 102S" from Roy Grant of UK. Since I've owned and kept this amp since the early 80's and longer than any amps I've owned, it's definitely a keeper for life. It has been a work horse in my sound room driving difficult speaker... | |
| Pass Labs 30.5 Amp owners help The terminals are capped to prevent using banana type connectors for safety reasons (read somewhere, I think in the owner's manual). | |
| Help power pair of Infinity Kappa 9's please I think Bongiorno's Ampzilla would be a good candidate to drive those kappas. | |
| Amp for Martin logan CLS Originals Dfelkai,You may try Spectron amps too as highly recommended by a friend who uses them to drive Analysis Audio panels with effortless authority and neutrality. | |
| Amp for Martin logan CLS Originals I've tried them with amps 100W and up from VTL, Threshold, and Pass Labs with excellent results. My personal preference are with the Audio Research tube amps. I agree with Reylon, the Macs is not a favorable match for the CLS. | |
| Quad 405 Updated .... Any Knowlege on this upgrade I had them in the 80's, it had a hard time driving the Infinity RSIII floorstanders. What would the update/upgrade be? | |
| Pass XA30.5, X100.5, or Rowland 501 For Revel Gem ...edit above post to XP10 instead of X10. | |
| Pass XA30.5, X100.5, or Rowland 501 For Revel Gem Srosenberg,i'm looking for nice forward mids (especially vocals), fast, dynamic, lively sound - especially at lower volumes. I've listened to the XA30.5 paired with X10 on 2 different speakers and the sound seems to be the perfect match to what yo... | |
| Amp for Dynaudio C1 Mcintosh 402 or Cary CAD 500? Seanyzf, The XA30.5 is more than enough for the C1, IME. | |
| Rogers LS3/5a question Be informed that they are very in-efficient speakers, only about 83 db sensitivity. With that said, they need a well built amplifier sections to make them really sing. Nevertheless they are absolutely wonderful little speakers. |
