| Monitor Audio PL200II I got a response from a dealer that respresents Monitor Audio in Los Angeles. Unfortunately they do not have a show room but can order them. They responded to my question about room size with the following:"The ideal room volume for these speakers... | |
| Monitor Audio PL200II Thanks for the responses. I never knew about Gene Rubin Audio in Ventura. I will check them out for the Harbeth and Spendor at that shop. I had forgotten that my buddy played the D7's for me in a smallish room and it sounded great. More of the ful... | |
| Integrated Amp to match with Magico A3 Hegel H590 is coming out in a few months and it is Hegel's version of a super integrated. Take a look at the video located on the bottom of the following linked page.https://darko.audio/2018/05/statement-made-hegel-debut-h590-with-kef-blade/Alon W... | |
| Bel Canto ACI600 vs Black EX Sepates If I had the cash ready today I would be severely tempted to buy the Luxman 509x that WC put up for sale. I would use it in the office and likely move my office electronics to the future big rig in the living room.https://www.audiogon.com/listings... | |
| Bel Canto ACI600 vs Black EX Sepates I thought the wife did not like the looks of the Hegel? I think the new Hegel will be a dark horse in the new crop of high end integrateds. Lots of people rave about the Hegel DACs. I assume the H590 will have this highly regarded DAC technology.A... | |
| Bel Canto ACI600 vs Black EX Sepates Are you going to have an audition with any of those units? They are rather different tech from most gear so I would definitely want to have a listen first. A few years ago the 50K Black system was listed here for around 28K by a dealer. Customer t... | |
| Thinking of Kef Blade 2 to replace Revel Salon 2 @ricred1 Your room is big enough for the Blade 1. I have heard this speaker in a room as big as yours and it just blows my socks off. I have not heard the Blade 2 yet.@audiotroy I know you love the T+A. How does it sound at low volume? Does it nee... | |
| Thinking of Kef Blade 2 to replace Revel Salon 2 @ricred1 . I have heard some dealers say that diff is only in the amount of bass and the room size should be the determining factor.A reviewer that reviewed the Blade 2 and has heard the Blade 1 emailed me back that he would get the Blade 2 over t... | |
| Amplifier ideas with KEF Reference 1 @georgehifi The Benchmark AHB2 is not an integrated. It is an amp only. I use it in my office.@audiotroy Is the 14 x 10 room adequate for the KEF Ref 1? The room seems a little small to me. | |
| How to filter Audiogon results to Canada only. If you are close to the border why not have it delivered to a town nearby (FedEx or UPS store) and pick it up yourself. You will be opening yourself up to a lot more potential sellers. I have shipped and bought a few amps from Canada and have not ... | |
| The Music Room Sold a few items to them. Excellent experience. | |
| Thinking of Kef Blade 2 to replace Revel Salon 2 I owned the Salon 1 in a great room for over 5 years. It was enjoyable but not the best I had heard at that time. I later heard the Thiel CS 3.7 and thought that was a much better speaker than the Salon 1. I then heard the Blade1 and felt that was... | |
| There used to be a guy who repaired and updated Sony SCD-1 players. https://positive-feedback.com/Issue39/vsei.htmMy SCD-1 mods were done by this group, specifically Warren Gregoire out of the Bay Area. See the contact info at the bottom of the link. | |
| Amplifier ideas with KEF Reference 1 @keoliphant Based on your responses I would think the Luxman 509x will be what you end up with. I never gave too much consideration on looks for audio gear but that Luxman has super model looks to it. The loudness button on the Luxman 509x would a... | |
| Amplifier ideas with KEF Reference 1 @keoliphant I have also invested a little bit of money into my office system. I originally had LS50’s powered by PeachTree Nova 150 integrated. I moved that system to the bedroom and now have the Audience 1+1 V2+ speakers driven by a single Benchm... |
