| My Triton Ones are being delivered to me tomorrow Stereo5, don't take it personally. It happens to most threads deemed unworthy of the snobish elite on this site. I for one am glad you posted your thoughts on the Triton 1s as I've been anxious to hear how they stand up to the stellar industry ins... | |
| McIntosh MX120 hook up. Matt gives good advice. This is likely a setup error, not a defect.Regarding the front panel display [AUX--Volume--CD] CD in this case is the source for the main zone, and AUX is the source selected if you were to turn on zone 2. So, if your CD is... | |
| Need New Bookshelf Speakers of Certain 'Style' @Schubert, I was implying (perhaps poorly) that some gear flippers may be under the influence. | |
| Need New Bookshelf Speakers of Certain 'Style' Although some of the recent pairs up for sale have been at crack pipe prices, I'd add the original Sonus Faber Concertos to the list if the Dali's don't pan out. They sound great and look like a piece of furniture. Unfortunately, at the moment the... | |
| Remoding Speakers Has An Effect On Resale Value Zyac, I'd be interested in your thoughts ( and full details) on the mods once you get them back and had a chance to break them in. Best of luck with the outcome! | |
| Remoding Speakers Has An Effect On Resale Value The founders of Gemme Audio we're never reluctant about sharing their driver types and their sources. Robert even posts here occasionally to help owners with questions.True, the wool impregnated woofer and Vifa tweeter can be had off the rack at M... | |
| My Gemme Tanto V2's with an Acurus DIA-150 Great to hear Zyac! I'm enjoying the hell out of Tanto V2s as I type.They're still in my office and I'm only sending them 45 vintage watts via a tubed DAC. Not so many watts, it makes me wonder if your Acurus/Tanto combo is just not a good pairing... | |
| My Gemme Tanto V2's with an Acurus DIA-150 Sorry to hear about your amp pairing and hope the Peachtree Grand works out for you. I have a pair of Tanto v.2 and have been very satisfied with thier sound when paired with my IPS-1 (which is stable to 2ohms).For kicks, I also moved these speake... | |
| Pat Metheny Unity Group: Kin -- WTF? Agreed PTM, and I can't really ever fault someone with that much talent, I've just never had a whole album ruined for me by one simple instrument/engineering oversight. Quite dumbfounding given all the experience in this project. | |
| Desktop System DAC My office DAC is a Grant Fidelity TubeDAC-11. I too listen at low levels and have been extremely happy with the sound, and it has a ton of flexibility in regard to input /output options. Tube rolling is also an option if you decide to use the tube... | |
| Best sounding and reliable CD changer? I changed out a tubed shanling cd/sacd player that I absolutely loved for a McIntosh MCD-205 about 18 months ago due to the convienience factor. The 205 uses the Nak Music Bank changer which seems to be more reliable than carousel changers. McInto... | |
| The best Krell components for a dual purpose maybe Anthem? | |
| subwoofer suggestions I'd second or third the suggestion of an SVS SB13 Ultra. And this is coming from an owner of a pair of HSU ULS-15s. The SVS sealed subs have the right combination of sound quality, impact, and price. Very musical subs. Alternatively, if you're int... | |
| floor standing speakers with powered woofer the AV123 mini strata has an 8" powered sub. Only available on the used market, but an extremely satifying bargain speaker if you can find a pair. | |
| Which one Emotiva or Outlaw for HT I'm not sure how you feel about used equipment, but it might be worth a look in the listings here. There's some decent processor deals in the $550 price point. Cambridge Audio 551, Anthem AVM 2, Denon 4308. It seems many processor owners are looki... |
