| THE BEST SMALL SPEAKERS Bsm: The guys who mentioned Sonus Faber are right on track. I own a pair of the Electa Amatours (originals). They are truly awesome & as full range as you can get for a monitor along with being fairly efficient too (88db 1 watt @1 meter, 8 ohm... | |
| PS Audio PP300 works great, but...... Meta: That's a great system you have there. Certainly very capable of producing high resolution. Being a detail freak, I would think you would you would absolutley love the P-300. It definatley allowed me to hear more detail in my system. I'm a li... | |
| PS Audio PP300 works great, but...... Meta: Sometimes more musical is less detailed. The P-300 definately adds more detail & instrument space with a blacker background as you word it. If your not used to it it might seem etched & possibly fatiqueing. Some feel it thins things ... | |
| Amp+Cords or New Amp, best bang for $$$ Metaphysics: I agree with all the posters who said to put the $ in the amp. You will gain more sonic improvement with a great amp as opposed to great power cords. Once you settle on the amp you want, you can always then by trial an error marry it ... | |
| what's the most vital cable in a system? I think what your asking is what cable has the most sonic impact...in that order. With that, it would be your speaker cables by far. Than your interconnects. The ones closer to the source & than on down the line in that order of impact. Lastly... | |
| Jazz Recommendations I concur with most all of the above recomendations. In addition, how about... Oscar Peterson's Ultimate, Larry Carlton's Collection, Stanlet Turrentine's Mr. T, Keb Mo's Keb Mo, Chuck Mangione's Children of Sanches, & Santanna's Black Magic Wo... | |
| One more BI-WIRE question Interesting Fpeel...you could have something there. Bi-amping would be a definate sonic improvement, however I got to believe the amount of users bi-amping has to be extremely small. In my humble opinion...way to small to warrant speaker manufactu... | |
| One more BI-WIRE question Oh, I forgot to mention. Why does SF make their speakers bi-wireable if they sound better single wired? I believe it's all marketing. Most people feel or a least a lot are under the impression that any given speaker will sound better if it has biw... | |
| One more BI-WIRE question My guess is your refering to Sonus Fabors. I own a pair of the original Electa Amatours. Simply put, they sound better in the single wire configuration. I strongly recommend not using jumpers. Pull your woofer out & redirect one set of leads u... | |
| Single bi-wire or double bi-wire ? I agree with Leafs & Snook2. I think Bi-wire is a marketing ploy. Any speaker sounds better bi-wired right...actually wrong. Cable companies love it though. Single wire does definatly sound better. In particular it offers better resolution &am... | |
| best preamp for cj premier8 mono There is a CJ 16ls for sale in audiogon right now. An $8000 preamp selling for $4000 & only 3 months old... seems like a good deal to me. In addition, I know that dealer. He's very reputable. You can't do much better than that plus you know it... | |
| Sonus Faber Extremas with Krell FPB 600? I'm with Mfgrep. I have the SF Electa Amatours (originals). After trying several S.S. amps I too wound up with the CJ Premier 11A. The difference between the CJ & all of the S.S. amps I tried was literaly night & day. Tubes really get the ... | |
| Best upgrade for the money ? Gotcha Pops... you could be right on the MIT's. I'm more familiar with the older wire. | |
| Best upgrade for the money ? Hi Pops...That's some nice gear you have there, but I'm a little bit thrown back by your statments. Your saying the Polks sound as good as the Vandy's just different??? Although the Vandy's have never been the speaker of my choice (a little bit on... | |
| Best upgrade for the money ? Rob: Forget about the power cords for now. They will make a relativily minor improvement $ for $ as compared to speaker replacement. You need to decide on your speakers before considering a DAC or anything else. Everything is system dependent in o... |
