| Speaker refinish If you leave the grills off, they will darken surprisingly fast. I had the same issue with a pair of Spendor 9/1 speakers. They looked even after about 6 weeks of normal light exposure. | |
| Kef 105.4 crossover repair Try Sonic Craft. Ask for Jeff. | |
| McIntosh 2100 A hundred bucks or so in the long run isn't much... | |
| Revel Salons and Adcom amp, good match? If I was you, I would definately be concerned about the sound quality. Those are very revealing speakers, and they will reveal the nature of that amp. They are worthy of better, but listening will tell the tale. | |
| McIntosh 2100 I think that you should hold out and look for another Mac. They come around frequently. I don't think there is a substitute. I used a Morrisson Elad Pre for years and it was great, but the Joule Electra I'm using now is better. | |
| The Best upgrade for digital I went to the website you linked when you posted a similar thread yesterday. I was not clear about a couple of things. First, how much does it cost for the clock upgrade, and can it be done to a stand alone transport? Second, is the board upgrade ... | |
| How low is a piano? Reproducing piano on a speaker is an interesting subject. I've owned a lot of different speakers, and of all of them, I'd say that the ProAc Response 1 was the best at reproducing piano in a lifelike way. The thing is, it is a small speaker with l... | |
| McIntosh 2100 Buy it. You will love it, and you will never regret it. It will drive the Vandersteens with plenty of power to spare. | |
| How much room is needed for Snell AIII ? Thanks to all, especially you Verneal, for your very specific and helpful recommendations. From what I had read in the past, I didn't think that they needed a very large room, and you all seem to confirm that. | |
| Your Thoughts on the Best Bookshelf Speaker Another small beautiful Italian speaker that sounds phenomenal is the Diapason Adamantes. | |
| Bryston or McIntosh which would you buy? I would upgrade within the Mac line (Autoformer coupled) because I prefer the sound to Bryston, which is also good. In your case, I would stay with Mac especially since you are using Thiel speakers, which can tend to be bright, which Mac isn't and... | |
| Need help identifying these cool speakers? It looks like a single driver full range Fostex type speaker. | |
| Essential Zappa: what's missing from my collectio I'm a Zappa fan too, saw him live several times. When I feel like Zappa instrumental, I turn to The Grand Wazoo. I've been listening to it for 30+ years, and I'm not sick of it yet. | |
| Quick poll How long have you been in this hobby? 1973. Came out of college, sold my the new car my dad gave me, and bought a McIntosh 2100, a pair of Klipschorns, a Phase Linear 2000 preamp, and Pioneer PL-12D turntable. I was in heaven. | |
| Oxidation, how to prevent? Hot and cold don't cause chrome plated surfaces to oxidize. In fact, they don't oxidize. Silver, brass and copper oxidize. What you may be thinking about is the metal underneath the chrome plating, like steel. Lingering moisture on the surface ove... |
