| Amplifier for Quads Sorry, but it makes no sense to drive ESL57s with 200W, much less 1kW. Either the recommended VTL Tiny Triode (used market, no longer made), the inexpensive Quicksilver Mini-Mite or the Music Reference RM-10 Mk II for a bit more money would be mor... | |
| Stillpoints under T-W Acustic Raven AC If you already have enough space for the turntable on your component rack, I would rather first try 3 (better than 4 for leveling) Stillpoints Ultra 5s (with cups) under the turntable, with the option of exchanging them for a full Stillpoints rack... | |
| Stillpoints Ultra and Wilson Sophia II Either Stillpoints or any of their dealers will tell you what thread size to order for your Sophias. Make sure you order the cups too, so you can level the speakers. | |
| Merrill Audio VERITAS Amps: Any other experiances? Bill_k, you're right and thanks for the correction. | |
| Is McIntosh really Hi-Fi, finally MC452 That's what Plinius amplifiers have a Class-A / Class-AB switch for. Flip it one way for critical listening, flip it the other way for idling or background music. The best of both worlds! | |
| ? "Upgrade" MG 20R to 20.7 I agree with Elizabeth, the 20.7s would be a big upgrade using just one 4B, and you wouldn't have to change speakers for a long time. | |
| Merrill Audio VERITAS Amps: Any other experiances? Yes, I also think class D is here to stay. The Merrill Veritas (Hypex Ncore) and the new Rowland 725s are good examples of that. Enjoy! | |
| Luxman C-1000F+two B-1000F vs AYRE K-XR+four M-XR No opinion about Ayre. In think the Mark Levinson No. 326S is one of the best preamps ever, but can't say anything about its amps, haven't listened to one in a long time. | |
| Luxman C-1000F+two B-1000F vs AYRE K-XR+four M-XR I have listened to the M-800A and I think it will be complementary to Everests because of their respective sound, and you're right, they are more flexible so you can experiment. I haven't listened to the B-1000f so I should not opine. I prefer the... | |
| Luxman C-1000F+two B-1000F vs AYRE K-XR+four M-XR Hey, if you have money to blow, just go for the B1000f monos. The system will sound great with Luxmans for sure, and I agree with Audiooracle they are works of art. ML is not on the same level. | |
| Remove your bias for better sound This discussion reminds me of my old Thorens TD-150, no antiskating to worry about. | |
| Velodyne DD+12 or JL F113 subwoofer? Both are excellent, but it depends if you intend to take advantage of room correction; then the Velodyne wins easily, and any of the big Paradigms would be even better because of PBK, which is not limited to one listening position. The higher the ... | |
| Luxman C-1000F+two B-1000F vs AYRE K-XR+four M-XR I would think the Everests will prefer the warmer Luxmans biwired and unless you have an aircraft hangar for an audio room, 2 x M-800A, biamped would be more than enough. | |
| HELP w Esoteric K-01 Yes, get a PurePower or at leat an APC. I have the same problem and my APC has saved me several times. | |
| Modern amp that has warmth and sound of B&K? I agree with Frogman, he reminded me of my Audionics CC-2. One amp you shoud try is Musical Fidelity M6PRX. |
