| Usher 718BE or Dynaudio S1.4 Mariusz, Thanks! It is a real disappointment to feel like you can't get a good demo - helps keep my money in my pocket. As the man says, dealers take note. | |
| Switch to silver for a treble boost? Douglas,What Speakers would you advise somebody to look at if they wanted greater emphasis on the upper registers and to add "treble sparkle and 'air'"? Focal? Monitor Audio? Something else with a metal tweeter? Maybe something with a ribbon tweet... | |
| Usher 718BE or Dynaudio S1.4 I write this "review" more to complain about how some HiFi equipment is set up and displayed than to say much useful about either of these speakers. I really like Dynaudio's house sound, at least for their entry level speakers including the Contou... | |
| quad 22L vs totem arro Do not recommend the Arros for your taste in music. Great speakers, just not meant to dig deep for rock. The Quads would be a better choice. Great cabinet too. Another choice in my book would be Dynaudio Audience 52 (bookshelf), 62 or 72. These sp... | |
| Apple vs PC for Music System Many people will tell you that the quality of your digital cable can influence what you hear and see too...but I think this discussion is directed towards digital conversion occurring inside the computer, rather than using a Mac or PC as a server ... | |
| Switch to silver for a treble boost? Carl109,I agree it wouldn't hurt to try this. Running silver wire all the way from your source to your speakers would have the greatest impact on sound. Signal Cable makes the cheapest all silver interconnects I know of http://signalcable.com/.Sec... | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Rebbi,Will be curious to hear of your results. The cables will need some time to settle in as well, at least ~100 hours of continuous play or so. With that said, you should notice a difference right away with improved resolution. | |
| Spendor S8e, Dynaudio Focus 220, VA Grand Mozart After thinking about this some more and given your musical preferences, going over the reviews of the other speakers, and noting that your Anthem amp nearly doubles output to into 4 ohms, I think you should go with the Dynaudios. They will stride ... | |
| Power Cord Question Agree with all your points. I have done many things to my system and was happy with myself at first because I could hear a difference, but later on decided it was not a "good" difference and reversed the change or changed things again in a differe... | |
| Bookshelf speaker suggestions for Office Here is information from a previous post about new turntables, but these models or their previous editions are often available used for less money.http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ymisc&1217893760&openflup&2&4#2Here is a rea... | |
| Spendor S8e, Dynaudio Focus 220, VA Grand Mozart Since I am at a loss for words right now, here are some comments from Michael Fremer of Stereophile Magazine regarding the Mozart's bigger brother, the Beethoven Concert Grand. I have listened to both, and suggest the Beethoven just sounds bigger,... | |
| Spendor S8e, Dynaudio Focus 220, VA Grand Mozart Other way around. IMO the Spender is more colored, not in a bad way, but perhaps a bit overly glorious - like a tubed speaker. The VA on the other hand is a very neutral but terrific sounding speaker through the whole frequency spectrum. | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please My guess, the XLO will be fine and probably similar to the Audio Quest Coral.JPS is a great company. I think the Ultraconductors will provide a more sophisticated and airier upper end but will sacrifice some of the bass response you would get with... | |
| upgrade or all new? Typically NAD has been all about delivering the best possible sound for the least possible money. As a result, they are not built all that tough and I think you are taking a risk that a used component might fail before perhaps another brand. There... | |
| upgrade or all new? Don in Tennessee,Jb8312 has some good advice. I would improve your system one piece at a time, listening to and enjoying the new piece until you yearn for something new. I tend to think you want to start with the source first for two reasons:1. yo... |
