Emotiva pre-pro
Sold within a short time. Lots of issues. Sounded OK when it wasn't constantly switching "modes".
@stereo5 , it was a Clarion years unit (production run of 1992-1998). |
Emotiva Amp/preamp. Distortion distortion. That what I get for succumbing to sales pressure and not researching. @retiredfarmer, I felt my Studio 100s were lacking, but then coupled them with Cambridge CXNv2 music streamer and Parasound A21. They never sounded so good. That said I really want a Sonus faber Olympica Nova for there tweeters. Fell in love after hearing them |
OK, this is interesting. There are 2 products listed here that I've enjoyed immensely. I previously owned the Reference 3A MM DeCapo(i) for more than 5 years and enjoyed every minute with them. I can say that I had a pair of highly updated Reference 3A Veena floorstanders that I didn't love. They may have been great for someone who prized detail over musicality, but they didn't work for me, in my system, with my electronics. I've also owned 5 Rega products over the years, including my current electronics - Rega Elicit-R Integrated amp and Rega Saturn-R CD/Transport/DAC. The Rega combo has essentially stopped me looking for different electronics. I think they are a great value and they are both very musical pieces IMHO. I'll be interested to see what other 'mistakes" people have made, that I love... |
