| Liquid Midrange' - strong side of which tube amps? "08-04-15: PbnaudioZD The VAC amplifies are indeed excellent but they are not integrated amps."I know. I own one myself. The OP didn't ask for an integrated, but if that's what he's looking for the VAC Avatar is integrated. I'm not sure if they ma... | |
| stereo preamp $2-5K suggestions For your speakers, Ayre and Aesthetix would be my first 2 choices. Once you get the AV preamp out of the chain for music, you won't recognize your system. | |
| Liquid Midrange' - strong side of which tube amps? VAC is in a completely different league than Primaluna. PL makes good entry to mid level tube gear, where VAC approaches state of the art. Also, the build quality is better and they really stand behind their products. If you have a problem after t... | |
| Liquid Midrange' - strong side of which tube amps? Those are nice speakers. Depending on room size and how loud you like to listen, either a VAC 30/30 or 70/70 would be a very good match. It goes without saying that you'll need a preamp and source of equal quality to get the most from the amp and ... | |
| B&W 800D2 - Bi-amping vs Bi-wiring Al,I should have mentioned in my last post that I wasn't talking so much about more volume, as I was about overall sound quality. And along with that the impression of the amp being more at ease, with driving the speakers. For me, that sounds like... | |
| Liquid Midrange' - strong side of which tube amps? My VAC 30/30 will do what you're asking. But if you want an amp that's good for piano, my Ayre v-5's are better. The sound is very liquid like a good tube amp, and it has a lot more power. It can take command over a speaker in a way that a tube am... | |
| B&W 800D2 - Bi-amping vs Bi-wiring "08-02-15: AlmargWhile adding a second CA-2200 in a passive vertical biamp configuration MIGHT prove to be sonically beneficial on some musical passages, as Kr4 and Tls49 indicated it will not provide much in the way of a useful increase in power ... | |
| B&W 800D2 - Bi-amping vs Bi-wiring "What is the point of having two sets of binding posts if you don't use them for bi-wiring?Lalitk (Threads | Answers | This Thread)"Most people will use the extra set of binding posts to biwire. You can also use them to get signal to a sub that ha... | |

| 1990s speaker recommendation "I'm looking for suggestions for a good pair of floor-standing or sub/sat speakers under $300 from this era."When you say "this era", speakers that were made in the 90's are just as diverse in sound quality as they are today. There's no "house sou... | |
| B&W 800D2 - Bi-amping vs Bi-wiring "07-31-15: MattmillerAnytime you can go to Mono blocks I would recommend it, over bridging or bi amping with stereo amps."Whats the logic behind that? If you could by a stereo amp that sounds better and has more power than 2 mono amps, why wouldn'... | |
| B&W 800D2 - Bi-amping vs Bi-wiring "Or am i better off buying a pair of CA-M600 for each speaker?"I wouldn't do it that way. If you want to biamp, I think its better to use 2 stereo amps and do a vertical biamp.Worry about the cables later. Its more important to active components f... | |
| Receiver HDMI problem "You can argue cable brands and quality here all day long, but my finding has been that matching the brands helps."When you say matching the brands, are you talking about cables or components? | |
