| Speaker Burn In... My C1's sounded real good right out of the box. I did run mine 7 X 24 for 400 hours. I will say between 100 and 150 hours they did sound pretty bad. That lasted for about 50 hrs. From there they only got better. | |
| Recommendation of a good nearfield speaker Dynaudio Contour 1.3mkII or Contour S1.4 if you can stretch a bit. | |
| REL Studio III vs. JL Audio Fathom 113 Seems a little slow and rich even when properly set up by trained installers.I have never listened to the JL's but I do own a Rel B3. I thought the same thing and finally replaced the stock Rel cord with Nordost baseline (custom made by Nordost to... | |
| Change Interconects? Will it Help? What change or improvement are you looking for? For what it is worth I had the same monster cables and when I switched to the Audioquest King Cobra's there was quite a difference (for the better). A little more forward all around. Better bass mids... | |

| Power Conditioning: How Do You Know You Need It? Does your system sound better at night? If so then I would first suggest dedicated circuits (if possible) first. I just had dedicated circuits added and all I can say is WOW. A couple of weeks later I added a Topaz isolation transformer. I honestl... | |
| Interconnects for Rotel Amp. + CD On the low end audioquest king cobras. Good cable for the money. Going a step up I like the fusion audio interlocker II's. Also a pretty good step up in money too. Those 2 cables I have a lot of experience with. | |

Merlin uses the old... | |
| Most musical integrated amp you have heard? Naim Supernait - I personally think the Naim line is one of the most musical systems around. I haven't heard them all though. | |

| Smallest speakers that ROCK Dynaudio Special 25's | |
| Dedicated Lines - Problem Kurt tank is right. The reason for the 'POP' could be that your panel is at max current draw. Add to that maybe some older motors that generate electrical noise. Another thing to think about when adding Dedicated lines is to 'balance' the load. Wh... | |
| Forward Monitor with Detail Speed and liquid Highs If you have a chance to demo some Dynaudio Contour 1.4's - Special 25's or C1's I think you would like them much better than the 40's. I have the C1's and the speed - detail and transparency is fantastic. Best high's I have ever heard. Great sound... |
