| From Klipsch to Zu Omen Def 06-12-14: Shakeydeal"Look at the Klipsch Heritage line."Shakey is spot on with this suggestion. A pair of LaScalas or CornScalas will definitely give you that "big" sound you are seeking with a sweet midrange for vocals.Bill | |
| From Klipsch to Zu Omen Def Macallan7,I have owned a pair of Klipsch RF-63's since May 2008 and have had many opportunities to "upgrade" to RF-7's, RF-83's, RF-7II's, and other brands but just can't accept that any of these would be "better". The 63's have that classic Klips... | |
| what amp under a grand? 06-08-14: Jughead"yet another curve ball! 2125 is sold, but i have a chance at a hca 1500a.im sure this would be a good match as well. deff a lot more power!"I saw that one. Good price and looks to be in great shape.Go get it.Bill | |
| what amp under a grand? Jughead,Good choice in the 2125/2100 combo. I had that combination for a while and it's performance far exceeded it's price point. Far more powerful sounding than it's 125w/ch spec. Not overly warm but more neutral sounding IMO.Good luck with your... | |
| Suggest SACD Player No Video, New or Used, $1kish? Yes the Marantz SA8005 would be a great choice as a player and a DAC. Only the top tier Teac CD-3000 has outboard DAC capabilities.Bill | |
| Suggest SACD Player No Video, New or Used, $1kish? I have not personally used them but Teac has a trio of nice players in their Distinction Series at different price points.Heard good things about all three.http://teac.factoryoutletstore.com/cat/36269/Teac-Distinction-Series-Players--.htmlBill | |
| Aragon 4004MKII replacement recs "with Aragon changing hands and now belonging to Klipsch"Actually in 2008, Klipsch sold the Aragon and Acurus rights to former Klipsch engineers who formed Indy Audio Labs. They now service both legacy products through their partnering with Sybesm... | |
| Best $600 integrated for Monitor Audio RX-2? I have to agree with the Onkyo(Integra) thing and it's 3D capabilities. I have a vintage pair of Klipsch Heresys(updated crossovers, tweeter) and the Integra DTM-40.4 stereo receiver driving them. This may sound crazy but before the Integra, I had... | |
| Aragon 4004MKII replacement recs Just a thought, did you check the fuses?Have you opened it up yet?IMO, the Aragon 4004II is worth repairing as long as it does not cost you more than another one in same condition.Would you consider an Acurus A200 or A250 for about half the cost o... | |
| Quality 2 channel analog out in Oppo's besides 105 The Cambridge Audio 751BD shares the same Mediatek chipset as the Oppo 95 but with it's own personal tweaks. Mostly same graphic interface but uses Wolfson DAC's(dual differential) for both stereo and multichannel music and upsampling.Bill | |
| Quality 2 channel analog out in Oppo's besides 105 The Cambridge Audio 751BD does a wonderful job with 2-channel. Very detailed, solid punch. I have one and have seen them used for $500.00 to $700.00 here on Audiogon lately.Bill | |
| Svs sub : should i go with sb13 ultra or pb 13 I love my SVS SB13 Plus(95% same as SB13 Ultra) and would highly recommend it for application 60/40 music/HT but if size and WAF are not issue, the PB13 Ultra is the way to go for HT extension/impact with option for sealed mode for music.Bill | |
| Two subwoofers Yes it is possible but careful volume matching, phasing, and cancellation issues must be addressed. I am currently using five subs(3 different mfr's) in my main HT/music system and believe me, it takes some work and patience to get it "right". I a... | |
| Am I understanding this correctly? Yes, with a digital connection from the dock the 9.9's DACs will be used for the conversion.Bill | |
| Klipsch KG5.5 or Klipsch Forte or...?? As suggested, Cornwall,Cornscalas, and Chorus would definitely give you the volume you are seeking. The forte, forte II, and Quartets would also do the trick and most likely would be a better match than the KG5.5's.Bill |
