| Cheap bi-wiring? Leafs you could not be more wrong | |
| Greatest Guitar Band We are talking "bands" here right....I too love Eddie Van Halen's musical ability, but I don't think Michael Anthony stacks up to the competition. That is not intended as a slam in any way shape or form. But if you are talking solo artists, my fat... | |
| Greatest Guitar Band I really can't believe with all the commentary on Clapton that Cream wasn't mentioned...Definitely superior to the Yardbirds...they were just short lived. It's not like Page Beck and Clapton ever collaborated as Yardbirds, or else I think it would... | |
| Martin Logan SL-3 positioning Thanks fellas..now I better get busy. | |
| Martin Logan SL-3 positioning 3truck, I think that equation is probably what I have been missing. I bought the speakers used and didn't get the instruction manual. If you could help I would appreciate it. | |
| preamp/amp for ML Aerius i? Well, it sounds like you've already made up your mind. I ran a similar thread asking for inputs on tube pre's to match to my SL-3's. The three most reccommended were the BAT, Sonic Frontiers Line 1, and Conrad-Johnson. After reading several opinio... | |
| preamp/amp for ML Aerius i? It may be time for you to move up the food chain in the Martin Logan line. Try the new Ascents or maybe some SL-3's. The difference in bass response is significant over the aerius. | |
| Amplifier for Martin Logan Requests Jim, I've read a couple of your rave reviews on tube amps and, unfortunately, I'm new to the scene(not to mention close to any tube retailers for auditions) Are the amps you are suggesting affordable (i.e. less than $2k) or would I be better off t... | |
| Which Speaker in the 4-6K Range? Maybe I'm the new kid without being in the know (I haven't gotten to listen to most of the previous speakers recommended, but nonetheless here is my 2 cents: Kef Reference Four Model Two. They meet all of your criteria, and are gorgeous. I wish I ... | |
| Percentage to spend on Amp and Speakers Jim I think you've proven my point for me. Buying excellent speakers at the $2000 range will leave less reason for upgrading in the near future. Thereby freeing up money, allowing for upgrades in componentry later. To trade in your speakers down t... | |
| Percentage to spend on Amp and Speakers I agree with Joe. Jim, we are not talking about $10k speakers (or a $30k system for that matter). What we were suggesting was to buy the best affordable gear available. Good equipment can be had, while saving the bulk of the investment on speakers... | |
| best 5 channel amp for home theater Class "A" amps limit this thread. Krell, Rotel, and Sunfire are not class "A". I personally think the Sunfire is one of the best buys, but it is not class "A". Unfortunately, I can't comment from experience on any true Class "A" products. But I wo... | |
| best amp for Martin logan sl-3 I push my SL-3's with a Sunfire Cinema Grand, using the 3rd and 4th channels on the amp for the woofers (bi-amping) with great success. The amp is relatively inexpensive, incredibly flexible and power output is phenominal. Using the bi-amp method ... | |
| Percentage to spend on Amp and Speakers Trejla has a good point. I think I took for granted that most people understand that some components do not work well with others. That is one of the many benefits of Audiogon. If you cannot audition recommended equipment you can at least ask opin... | |
| Percentage to spend on Amp and Speakers Although not the best way to plan a system, I would estimate that you should spend roughly 50% of the total value of your system on your speakers. They are the single most important aspect of the listening experience. So, allotting $2000 for speak... |
