| Musings....…..2 channel stereo.. surprising.... I don’t know if obsession or bored are the right words but for me it is variety. I have two HT setups(family room, master bedroom) and three stereo rigs and each bring gobs of enjoyment. In a single day, when all the "honey do" list has been check... | |
| High Quality Universal Player?? " I'm not 100% sure here but from what i was told by the Cambridge dealer the cambridge is basicaly an Oppo BD 105 inside the Cambridge chasis with some slight mods to the analog output. if this is true then your only real dissision between the t... | |
| High Quality Universal Player?? I own the CA 751BD and IMO, it is a wonderful player. Well built, nice interface, fast loading, so far very reliable. The newer 752 is pretty close to the same as the 751 but it can also be used as an outboard DAC.Of course you could also go wit... | |
| Is a Sub required for HT Great choice.Love my SB13 PlusBill | |
| Integrated Amp recommendation for $300 that will balance well with Vandersteen and NAD The NAD C542 is a wonderful fast, punchy, detailed CD player. I am using my 542 with a 2004 NAD T773 AVR and surprisingly, it sounds very nice. Maybe look for a used NAD C355BEE integrated. If you want a bit more "neutral", check out a used Cam... | |
| Recommended Power Amp watts vs Speaker Watt power handling ability Only if you get crazy trigger happy with the volume knob. Under most conditions you will be just fine.Bill | |
| Need Small Bookshelf Speakers With a Big Sound Would you consider used speakers, and more specifically horn loaded tweeters. Not sure the max height you are considering but look for a pair of Klipsch RB-75's(20.2"x10.0"x11.8", 32lbs) if you want "big sounding" bookshelf speakers. If they are... | |
| Klipsch Hersey 111 opinions Brian,I do not have Heresy III's but do own Heresy I's and Heresy II's. Both sound wonderful in their locations and with their respective gear. My HI's are in a spare bedroom(13'Lx13'Wx10'H) being driven with a NAD AVR T773 and CD player C542. ... | |
| my speakers hum Are your current speakers(the hummers), more sensitive than your previous speakers?Bill | |
| A/V Receiver to pair with Domus Grand Pianos If you are happy with the B&K, you most likely could find another 505/507 for much less than $600.00.I have an NAD T773 flagship AVR from 2004 that I did use with an HT rig but now it is being used in stereo duty in my spare bedroom and it sou... | |
| Do we really need anything more than 8" woofer and 1" tweeter for medium size room? Nonoise,Just looked up your speakers, they sure are dense, solid works of art. Love the forward tapering top.Bill | |
| Do we really need anything more than 8" woofer and 1" tweeter for medium size room? Assuming here the OP is referring mainly about stand mount speakers, here is my take.I have a pair of Klipsch RB-75’s that have 8" woofers and 1.75" compression drivers(titanium) with 8" horns and boy do they play bigger than they have the right t... | |
| Best used five-channel amp? I don't know about "best" but an Anthem P5 is a beast at 325/ch. New around $8000.00 used in the $4000.00 vicinity.Bill | |
| Speaker wattage question Look at this review and you can see that the reviewer used a pair of Anthem Statement M1 monoblocks which are rated at 1000w. http://www.soundstagehifi.com/index.php/equipment-reviews/557-kef-ls50-loudspeakers " Then, for the heck of it, I tried ... | |
| Parasound HCA-2200? I would agree, $300.00 for a well made, though older amp, is much bang for your buck. If you are able to open her up and do a visual inspection before purchasing that would be even better. I have purchased many(28) over 15 year old amps in the l... |
