| JM Labs Electra 937Be vs.Diva Utopia Be vs. Mezzo I agree with your point. Thanks for adding in so late on this topic. I ended up buying the Alto Utopia Be's used. I'm as happy as a clam with these speakers. The others were great as well, but the Altos are really fabulous speakers. The only drawb... | |
| Sonus Faber Cremonas or JM lab Diva I own the Alto Be's and have auditioned most of the Sonus Faber line as well as the Micro and Diva Be's and 907, 927, and 937 Be's. I'd take JM Labs any day of the week over the Sonus Faber speakers. I do think the Sonus Faber speakers are excelle... | |
| Focal JM Labs Electra 937 Be vs Electra 946 the 937 Be Electras are exceptional speakers. If I hadn't bought Alto Utopias, I would have been very tempted to choose the 937Be over the Diva Utopias. I think they're a better value and I prefer the more directional drivers. Good choice. You'll ... | |
| Tube cdp's and Tubed Output cdp's This is a good thread and I'm glad someone brought up the topic. I'm also glad to hear of the choices offered in the Shanling player. I'm interested now in checking that one out.I use the MF Nu-Vista running into an ASL headphone amp and a MF Tri-... | |
| B&W Signature 800 Vs. the new 800D Diamond Jafox, I'm going to give you a little lesson on internet etiquette. When someone submits a postion contrary to your own about audio gear, you can politely ask them a question or make a comment, as you seemed to do at first. Or for example, you cou... | |
| Is it caused by the transport or the dac? Krell-man, I'm glad that you're finally getting to like the Stello. I've been the main headquarters of April Music and I really like these folks. Trying really hard to put out good products. And a newcomer to the scene. Their DAC-Preamp combo is a... | |
| B&W Signature 800 Vs. the new 800D Diamond "'Out of two full and separate systems you heard you are giving the entire credit of their sonic difference(s) to the speakers.'And then you replied,'No. In two full and separate rooms, I preferred one set of speakers over an other and reported th... | |
| Wilson Audio, Talon, Rockport and B&W I've heard the Rockports and B & W's and I prefer the B & W's. I agree with Jtinn about the sound having a lushness but lacking something essential for my listening. By the way, I don't think it's "badmouthing" to say that something "doesn... | |
| B&W Signature 800 Vs. the new 800D Diamond "All I can say to your post Washine is that I simply dont agree with your logic and quite frankly found it contradictory or at least confusing."What's contradictory or confusing about my logic? I haven't done anything different than what anyone e... | |
| B&W Signature 800 Vs. the new 800D Diamond "If this post would have been different, such as, Classe vs. Esoteric, would you have replied that you feel Classe seemed colored?"The original question, Brian, was the following: "The 800 Signature Red Bird Eye goes for about $13K and the new 8... | |
| B&W Signature 800 Vs. the new 800D Diamond John,I'm well aware that speakers are system dependent and that a change in the electronics, cables, etc. could have a noticeable effect on their output. But I'm not writing a full-scale review here; I'm stating an opinion based on first hand expe... | |
| B&W Signature 800 Vs. the new 800D Diamond Jafox, I heard the D's with Classe electronics and the Signatures with the Esoteric gear. I wanted very much to like the D's. They were in the larger display room and they were getting a very detailed sales pitch by the distributor. I was very, ve... | |
| B&W Signature 800 Vs. the new 800D Diamond I heard both at an audio show last december. I didn't like the new 800D's much at all. Very colored. Went into the next room to listen to the Signature 800s with high end Esoteric gear and was completely blown away. I'd take the Signatures in a he... | |
| Stello CDT200 The Stello is a fine player. I've been to the main office and listening room of April Music over here in Seoul and was very happy with their equipment. Give it an audition. | |
| looking to go from seperates to intergrated Your comments are pretty interesting. I much preferred the BAT over Pathos TT and Logos during my testing. I thought the soundstage was much better on the BAT, but this one was a hybrid version. |
