| I need a good Preamp Really I don't know. I have had little experience with higher end gear so the Mac preamp and the Krells sound really good to my ears. The Krells sound a good bit better than the MC452 I have. They really opened things up but the C2300 is probably ... | |
| ARC REF 5SE, CJ GAT or ? Here is my situation. I am a musician and not really an audiophile so I have just been feeling my way through and acquiring some gear here and there trying to improve my home stereo systems. I live in an area where I can't find audio gear at this ... | |
| B&W Matrix 801 Series II Another good post, thanks. I ordered a Mcintosh MC452 today so we will see how the two amps stack up against each other. I will post my impressions of the comparison. I am very curious as I have no idea what to expect. I do want the Krells they ar... | |
| Some amplifier questions Number two doesn't make any sense so I will clarify. It appears the HDMI cord (from tv to Oppo) only benefits playing DVDs with the Oppo and is not in use when watching regular television. Regular cable television is not playing through my stereo ... | |
| Some amplifier questions Everything has arrived and I have it all connected and set up although not correctly. I used rca plugs from the stereo outs instead of balanced XLRs. I will change that when I get everything as it should be so I can order some cords. So far, I hav... | |
| B&W Matrix 801 Series II First off Chris I apologize for calling you Tim. Sorry....Thanks, Dave.I can keep the amps really as long as I would like. I took them back today but my friend says for me to keep them a while.My review..These monos really are incredible. They sou... | |
| Would a MC275 VI work well with Thiel CS2.7? I have a MC275 VI and it drives my Khorns beautifully but doesn't match so well with my inefficient B&W 801s. I agree with the above posters. You need more power. | |
| B&W Matrix 801 Series II No worries, Tim.I finally brought the Krell 350mcx mono amps home for a demo. I have been A/B ing back and forth with the MC 275 all evening and I really like the Krells. Of course there are things I like about each amp better than the other but I... | |
| Amp recommendation for B&W 801 Matrix SII speakers I have liked all of the Mac amps I have heard. I am sure the 302 is a good one. I really like my MC275 but I think these B&W speakers are going to preform better with a solid state amp. I do appreciate all of the suggestions so far. | |
| Amp recommendation for B&W 801 Matrix SII speakers Effischer, I am really surprised that you liked the MC302 better than the 452. I thought the 302 was Mac's entry level amp and not quite up to the quality of the rest of the line of current Mac amps.i have heard some about Rowland amps. I will che... | |
| B&W Matrix 801 Series II Funny story. That amp is a beast. I am sure it sounds great. I was rereading this thread and saw where you had listed one that was on Audiogon when this thread started but has since expired. I had forgotten about it. | |
| B&W Matrix 801 Series II No problems on the current pre amp but that goes with the MC275 and Klipsch system. The 801s will be its own complete system. I read about the K 600 and it appears to be a killer amp. I read that it weighs 182 lbs.!!! Damn, I may not be man enough... | |
| B&W Matrix 801 Series II Very good post, Ct0517. You have me again thinking about those local Krell 350mcx monos. I can bring them home for a test drive and I will look up the Krell 600 as soon as I finish this post. What tube pre do you suggest for the Krell amps? I will... | |
| B&W Matrix 801 Series II CT0517, I never do anything the same way twice. I also listen to a large variety of music which is constantly changing. I listen while I work in the studio moving around to different areas of the room. I listen loud, I listen not so loud. There is... | |
| B&W Matrix 801 Series II My problem is that i just don't have enough experience in listening to good quality stereo amps. I am going to have to make my decision on which amp to acquire based upon recommendations and whatever I learn about how to compare specs. One reserva... |
