| 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. | |
| Problems with my Tri-Vista 300--Need some help Timf, I thank you very much for your post. It seems as though our problems are very comparable both in development and solution. Like I said, who can truly grasp the strangeness of circuits and electricity. Even the best equipment can develop such... | |
| Problems with my Tri-Vista 300--Need some help check that. Inexplicably, the source selector has started to work properly again. Don't know why. Who can figure out the idiosyncrasies of circuits and electricity. I'll keep my fingers crossed in hopes that the selector continues to work properly... | |
| Problems with my Tri-Vista 300--Need some help I want to thank everyone once again for your replies on this thread. I managed to get my amp back today with new tubes. Indeed, the original trivistors were faulty and are now replaced. Probably the first instance of bad tubes on this gear.Secondl... | |
| JM Labs Electra 937Be vs.Diva Utopia Be vs. Mezzo David, I certainly appreciate what you are saying. I'm sure the Mezzos are a dynamite speaker for your system and certainly one that I'm strongly considering as well. Yes, the prices are good on that one. I wasn't aware of Yamaha's experiments pre... | |
| JM Labs Electra 937Be vs.Diva Utopia Be vs. Mezzo thanks for that reply David. I agree that the Mezzos are a pretty great speaker too. But I don't think the beryllium tweeter is only hype. I think JM Labs went to a lot of work on that one and produced a very clear, very dynamic tweeter. I'm still... | |
| JM Labs Electra 937Be vs.Diva Utopia Be vs. Mezzo Hi Panderso, Bill here. We talked before. I was all set to get the Micros in November, and then I had a change of heart after one last audition. I decided to go for more bass extension. I pondered it over and realized if I had more patience, I'd h... | |
| Problems with my Tri-Vista 300--Need some help Thanks Chris. Looks like I may have finally hit paydirt over here. Triode Electronics in Chicago finally came through after two weeks it seems. Going to have these tubes on Friday. I was getting worried after substantial waiting that they wouldn't... | |
| B&W Nuatilus Timpani, as I stated above, I think the new diamond series is overrated. I'd take the Signature 800 anyday over that series. I think your friend made a very wise decision. It's a great speaker--one of the top two or three I've ever heard. With the... | |
| JM Labs Electra 937Be vs.Diva Utopia Be vs. Mezzo yeah thanks for that post. I have been reading the tech info at the Focal site and it's quite interesting. But I'm not sure what the Utopia series adds specifically from the Electra. For example, how do the different crossover points affect the so... |
