| Should I buy the B&W 804d's or 805d's Personally the C1's with the esotar2 tweeter is so much smoother compared to the B&W diamonds (not as bright). The mid range sounds faster and a world more natural (especially acoustic guitars) and not as forward. Low end is very close but I t... | |
| Should I buy the B&W 804d's or 805d's When I liked B&W I compared the 805d to the 804d 803d and 802d's. Thats why I first recommended 803d's. When I did demo them they in at the dealer in a 20' 30' room. Also when I listened to the 805's they did not have a sub connected. So my pe... | |
| Should I buy the B&W 804d's or 805d's Ok the room will make a big difference. My experience is monitors with a sub should work out better. That being said my room is 12' X 26' with the speakers on the long wall (I have no other choice). I used to really like B&W until I heard the ... | |
| Should I buy the B&W 804d's or 805d's If it were me I would wait until I could get the 803's. The 805's with a sub is a good combo. Personally I think you may be disappointed in going to the 804's IF you have give up the sub. With the 803's you may not even want the sub.Just my opinion. | |
| wilson sophias to monitors Dynaudio C1's gets my vote.Disclaimer I own C1's | |
| Monitors to replace EPOS M-16i Second Dynaudio although possibly a little above you budget. | |
| Silver- gold longtime benefits? The advantage of gold is it will never corrode. But its conductivity is rated at .95 where copper is the standard of 1.0. Silver is 1.05. Silver can tarnish where the tarnish is still conductive but resistive too. When cooper corrodes that is an e... | |
| Best speaker cables for longer runs Ocos. They are known for very long runs. Price isn't bad compared to most cables. http://www.dynaudio.com/eng/systems/lines/accessories/ocos.php | |
| Dynaudio Consequence UE After hearing the consequences ue why would you want to change anything? Dynaudio spends a lot of R&D in the development of their speakers. Besides the woofer is in a separate cabinet on the top. | |
| The Harbeth phenomenon I think this is your first lesson in specs. They don't mean much. Your ears have to be the judge. I have the dynaudio C1's which don't look great on paper either but they sure do sound fine. I've never heard the Harbeths but I will say after the D... | |
| Good Test DIsc Chesky Jazz Sampler & Audiophile Test Disc Vol.1I don't think that's it for I have the same disc. Just listened to the test part. There is no female vocal following the far right and left demo. Also when in far R or L he states his voice may b... | |
| Focal 826W and Dynaudio Focus 140 The total impedance will drop when running 2 pair of speakers. Do you know if your amp has an over-current protection circuit? If there is no over-current protection I would NOT do it. The Dyns are 4ohm. If the Focals are 4ohm that would be a 2 oh... | |
| Ever Used the Audioquest King Cobra? Very good cable. I started with the viper then moved to the cardas neutral ref then to the king cobra (I prefer the king cobra to cardas) then on to Fusion Audio interlocker. In fact I kept the king cobra for my dvd. At its price point it's an exc... | |
| Amp Power Conditioner or not? I agree with Tpreaves except I added an isolation transformer (2.4kva on a 15amp dedicated line). Might be overkill but for me it made a very minor difference but for the better so for me it's a keeper. | |
| subwoofer IC's, silver or no silver content I have the Nordost Baseline made to Rel specs. Yes they are silver PLATED solid core copper (6 24awg wires). Honestly I upgraded my standard Rel cable (aluminum) and the difference was unbelievable. Not puncher bass but a more believable bass. A t... |
