| Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels After two weeks of tests I need to say that such big speakers as JBL 4367 sound excellent even in my small room (13x18x8). Much better than previous B&W 803 Matrix S2. Of course after full acoustic adaptation of the room. | |
| Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels Depends on speakers. I have JBL 4367 in a very small room - about 22 sq.meter - but the sound is great. | |

| Esoteric or CEC cd-transport One question regarding my purchase. I see some non-factory upgrades on the back panel... What is it?[img]https://content-19.foto.my.mail.ru/mail/alex_bolotnikov/11/s-330.jpg[/img] | |
| Esoteric or CEC cd-transport As a result I chose CEC TL-1. Compare to TEAC VRDS 20 the sound was much better imo. | |
| Esoteric or CEC cd-transport As an option I also consider TEAC VRDS 10 or 20 - they are even cheaper. Don't think that Luxman will work here - they aren't famous for their CD players. | |
| Pream question Well maybe something is wrong with my ears or with my system or with BAT amp... The new DR tubes made the sound better (a crazy price for 35 years old soviet stuff btw...) but still I'm not satisfied. The sound of LS5 is more detailed, more "surro... | |
| Pream question Everything is well with CAPs - the problem was with bad soldering. That's a good news)Spent some money and got NOS P-DR tubes. Will try them during the weekend... | |
| Pream question There is a permanent noise coming from the left block of caps. I took the amp to the service center and I'm waiting for their conclusion. In case the problem is with caps - it's better to start searching for the replacment parts now as I doubt tha... |
