| B&K AVR307 used or other new AVR? Frogman, Your totems are very good speakers. In the $800.00 range, anything in that price range will drive ur speakers. However, when it comes to 2-channel music, not all $800 receivers will give u a good musical presentation like the B&K will... | |
| Best Solid State Amp w/ Avalon Eidolon Diamonds Yes, the Ayre V1xe. | |
| New preamp: need to change speaker placement? Yes, you may have to address speaker placement after a chnge in the system. I changed a power cord...soundstage shiifted a little. Setting up ur speakers can be a time consuming event which can prove to be well worth the effort. Good Luck! | |
| Foam plugs for Proac Response 3.8? Have u tried pulling them out by another foot?...for a total of 3' from the wall. You should pick up a little more definition on the soundstage and the bass will diminish a little. Good luck. | |
| Does a center channel have to match the front spke To answer ur question, NO! The center channel does not have to match. But, I highly recommend it.Your C1s have the ESOTAR SQUARE tweeter...not the esotec. In the Dynaudio line, u have two options: Contour SCX center, or the Confidence center. They... | |
| DynAudio C4 _ Explodes my sonic perspective Rower30, Well done! I have the C2s. I, too, auditioned the same speakers you listened to, and them some... I always returned to the Dynaudio sound. A friend brought over his Vandersteen's 3aSignatures to audition on my 2-channl. Again, I,too, felt... | |
| Review: Dynaudio Focus 220 Mk2 Speaker Welcome to the club! I started with Contour S3.4s and moved on to C2s. It took close to approx. 300 hrs for mine to break in. Like everyone says, the rewards are at the end of that tunnel of 250-300 hrs. Well done and happy listening. | |
| Suggestions for new AV Pre-Pro Ronrags, If sound quality is of prime concern, you may want to consider the larger amp because it will undoubtedly have more current to drive ur speakers. This translates to greater control of the drivers which in turn means greater authority and ... | |
| Suggestions for new AV Pre-Pro Ronrags, That's exactly what I'd consider! By considering another amp by Cary, Bryston, Ayre, BAT and some others, not only are u raising the bar with regard to performance, u are creating a closer degree of synergy...especially with the Cary 5-ch... | |
| Pre/Amp/Int for Vandersteen 2ce Sig II for +/-$3k Ayre Acoustics! I've heard them with K5/V5xe combo and the K1xe/V1xe combo. Both sounded great! Just make sure u have enough space. | |
| Suggestions for new AV Pre-Pro Ronrags, I used to work for a Marantz dealer. I've heard all they have to offer. I, personally, use a Thetadigital Casablanca III with BAT VK-6200 (Balanced Audio amp) and Dynaudio speakers. I've heard what Cary can do. Believe me, if u are concer... | |
| Suggestions for new AV Pre-Pro Ronrags,Given ur existing equipment, I recommend a Cary Cinema 11a Pre/Pro (outgoing) or the new Cinema 12 if budget allows. The Cary will be more in line performance wise with ur speakers. Also, the Cary will take ur system to the next level and ... | |
| Dynaudio Contour SR as surrounds? 4425, You can't go wrong with those speakers. I have a full Dynaudio (Confidence/Contour) system. They can handle lots of power and almost never break with regard to sound quality. How large is ur room? and What's the rest of ur system consist of?... | |
| Need input on building a new HT/music system Tesseract86, Are the bookshelf speakers going to be stand mounted, or put onto an actuall shelf? Placement is somewhat critical...more on that later if u'd like. I'd start off by looking at the Focus series...Forcus 140 (bookshelf). However,consid... | |
| Need input on building a new HT/music system Tesseract86, As someone above mentioned, the ARCAM AVR's can get fairly warm. You might want to ensure that ur AVR can handle ur choice in speakers. If u are considering previously owned speakers, you might want to look at Dynaudio speakers. They ... |
