| Review: Audio Aero Prestige SACD Player reference CD Player This is great feedback. Thank you.I failed to previously mention an important improvement over 390s regarding bass performance. AA offers tighter, more controlled and tuneful bass which can be enjoyed over loooong listening spells without fatigue.... | |
| The Levinson 33h? Pros and cons? I use 33h amps (driving Nova Utopia Bes) and find them to offer massive amounts of power (more than what I would ever need) over all types of music. They deliver incredible bass and/or volume if need be without stress. (I must add that my version... | |
| Do you get Ringing in the Ears from your hi-fi? The medical term for ear ringing is called Tinnitus. Do a google search on this - there's plenty info.Hpims viewpoint is spot on. Also, I find playing music louder comes from a high system noise floor. Over the years of improvements introduced in ... | |
| Tip for Levinson owners In my case it was the CDP (390s) which directly drives 33H amps. | |
| why is this thing humming? Matt, I experienced a similar problem when I switched from a Marantz Amp to Levinson. Speakers hummed throughtout and during quiet passages, you could hear the hum come through. Very frustrating. After much searching and lifting grounds, etc. I fo... | |
| Nova Utopia Be $38K - Are they good? Slaufer, I would suggest that you arrange for these speakers to be auditioned in your home (even at modest cost it would be well worth it). Once your system is fully warmed up, sit yourself down with a decent wooded chardonay and enjoy...Sirspeedy... | |
| Nova Utopia Be $38K - Are they good? I recently acquired the Novas which replaced B&W N800s. Prior to my decision to buy these, I evaluated Wilsons Grand Slamm (Series 2) in my room. Front-end is all Levinson. Overall, the Novas are stunning and in my system, the speakers disap... | |
| B&W 802D vs Wilson WATT Puppy Hello Jungsan, that's not what I'm saying.I'm suggesting that costing is done over a 2 year period. So a speaker costing x, one adds additional upgrade costs if incurred giving a total cost of y. Comparatives are then made against speakers at this... | |
| B&W 802D vs Wilson WATT Puppy Also, be careful when comparing speakers in fixed price ranges. Some comments suggest that its unfair to compare high-end Wilsons and JMLabs to B&W as the price differential is high. I would suggest that you take a total cost view over a long... | |
| B&W 802D vs Wilson WATT Puppy Bass on Wilson speakers is a step above B&Ws and this also applies to JMLabs (Alto & Nova). My only reference on Wilson speakers is the Grand Slamms (Series 2). Whilst there are improvements in B&W, these don't approach the performance... | |
| B&W 802D vs Wilson WATT Puppy Midrange magnet and crossover changes were originally introduced in the 800 model. Comparing to the 802, there were some improvements (of which the most noticeable was better bass definition). The marketing stuff on the new D series refers to sti... | |
| B&W 802D vs Wilson WATT Puppy The used Grand Slamm X-1s was sold to someone who owned a pair of B&W 801 speakers (driven by Levinson 33 amps). I enquired as to the reason for the change and the Wilson dealer advised the main issue for this buyer was poor midrange performan... | |
| B&W 802D vs Wilson WATT Puppy I owned a pair of B&W 802 speakers and upgraded to the 800 a year ago at minimal cost. Front-end is Levinson 33H driven directly by 390s CDP and Synergistic Research Cabling (Absolute Reference).The new D series was released and I decided to u... |
