| Verity vs B&W I am not sure you will get an accurate response to your question since their are many varying opinions. For example, this statement "but the tweeter's usually wear you down over time; diamond or aluminum (Zd542, 2014)", is not my impression and ce... | |
| SME 20/2 w SME V arm- Cartridge recommendations I have to endorse the V arm with Benz LPS combination as well. Absolutely stunning sounding combination. The Benz Ruby Z is also a nice match with the V arm. | |
| Two subwoofers Where you get the SMS 1's? It is not for sale on the Velodyne website anymore. I want to use two for my setup. Thx.Audioquest4life | |
| Two subwoofers I am assuming when you mean out of synch, you are referring to out of phase? I am guessing one sub set at 180 and the other 0. I pondered similar issues a few years ago. My old 15" sealed 1000 watt sub watt (B&W Nautilus ASW 850) has been a wo... | |
| Typical Characteristics of a McIntosh / B&W system The typical listening environment is not conducive for critical listening. For general music, yes; however, if you want to obtain absolute clarity without speaker-room interaction anomalies, then you must treat the room. Unless you treat the room,... | |
| Best Bulk Cable Google Neotech ac cable. A few places sells this pure OFCC cable in varying gauges, either copper or silver. Have used for years with great results on solid state and tube gear.Audioquest4life | |
| Can US 220v be used to power foreign 220v pieces? Why not use a step-up transformer? They can be had for cheap on Amazon and work really well. I am using a 1500 watt one for two German made Octave MRE 130 tube amps. Audioquest4life | |

| Tempo Electric Silver Cables Yes, I can provide an actual use overview. It was that paper and the philosophy of Dr. Loesche I learned from his obituary: http://www.newcomeralbany.com/obituary.aspx?obitid=56583 and other things I learned about him and his engineering feats. Fr... | |
| Lower Volume from One Monoblock Have you tried reversing the interconnect cables? Try swapping the cables from the preamp to the mono amps to eliminate the possibility of the preamp causing this problem. Also, are your cables of the same length and same kind? I had a similar iss... | |
| B&W design quality observation. Any downside I have great sound staging and holographic (3D) effect with my 800's. In my experience, almost any speaker can present a great soundstage with the right setup and equipment. In fact, many people who listen to my system comment how much it sounds l... | |
| Rating system insanity This type of rant is equivalent to what people would say in other social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, or whatever. For example a post like this "Hey, I am taking my dog out for a walk, and it took the biggest frigging UYGGGGGH in the... | |
| Speaker cables for B&W?? I am using Neotech pure silver speaker wires for B&W 800s. | |
| what is the theory behind maple stands and racks? How much weight can one of the TS platforms support. I would like to experiment with a pair of B&W 800's, each weighing about 275 pounds. It would be very interesting to see how these would sound with those speakers coupled to bamboo flooring.... |
