| Vandersteen question. In my (very opinionated) opinion, only three Hi-end loudspeakers are really needed to cover all price ranges:Reasonable: Vandersteen 2ceExpensive: Audio Physic VirgoStupid: Wilson Watt Puppy'sI feel the Vandersteens do enough right to satisfy most... | |
| Pioneer Elite PD 65 or Cal Audio Icon MkII ?? I used to own a pd-65 and have heard the CAL in the same system. It was about 5 years ago but I remember prefering the CAL and being jealous of my friend who owned it | |
| pass aleph 1.2-speakers to pair w/; 4-6,000 I would suggest a used pair of Wilson Watt Puppies 5.1. I have a pair of 5.1's that I use with my aleph 2's aleph P, and Sony 333ES (temporary) with great results. I feel the Alephs pair very well with the Wilsons. The imaging is holography (wilso... | |
| What is the right thing here................ If it was me in this situation I would pay for the drivers. The fact that they didn't match reflects badly although its not your fault. How much are new drivers? | |

| AI MOD 3A + McCormack DNA125 , AND?? i think this would be an excellent system. this is almost exactly what I owned a few years ago. I had the AI mod 3 with the McCormack DNA .5 and Vandersteen 2ce's. This was a wonderful system and the components had great synergy. I've upgraded eve... | |
| Krell vs Levinson vs Pass vs Rowland I'll second the Pass aleph nomination. I have a pair of aleph 2's and I don't think I'll sell them in the next ten years. If you can get away with 100 Watts per channel , a used pair of aleph 2's can be had for around 3K. btw I run them with the a... | |
| Rap music on high-end speakers I second the WITT recommendation. They will work very well with hip-hop as well as any other music. They have sold on audiogon for around the same price as the cubs and IMO will outperform them overall especially with hip hop. | |
| Passlabs Aleph 1.2 with CJ Tube 17LS/16LS Preamp I have a pair of Aleph 2's that I use with Talon Audio Khorus's . At first I was using an audible illusions mod 3 a with this setup. I had loved the sound of the mod 3 with my previous amp (McCormack DNA .5)nad it sounded pretty good with this set... | |
| Tube replacement for Audible Illusions i've tried a few other tubes without much success. one i remember was nos mullards. they weren't a good match as the ai preamps are very sensitive to microphonics. i would stick with sovtec's. | |
| Red Rose Music by Mark Levinson. I have to agree with John here. I heard the red rose syetem in the showroom and they sounded great. Very dymnamic with great imaging and soundstage. If only they would make a small floorstander for 6-8k I would be very happy. |
