| system number 2 Focal Electra's first series has come down significantly, I set a friend of mine up with a pair of 905's and they sang quite well. Personally for a budget system Id like to look for the product that put a company on the map, or a companies first e... | |
| Best preamp for 2k-3k I HAVE SEEN A FEW CONRAD JOHNSON PREMIER 16LSII'S FOR 3000-3200 IN THE LAST COUPLE MONTHS.I have to say it is the most beautiful preamp I have heard to date in my limited experience. | |
| A tale of WAF On a side note I got lucky in that my dad is a former elctronics technician (He took the job just to understand specs) My plan is to build my system with my dad so that when I one day tie the knot I can say "Those arent going anywhere way too much... | |
| What CD drive to use with DAC? Sure the 83 weighs 11 pounds it will be decent and its brand new, I would personally opt for the denon myself as a transport but that me, Its kind of 50/50 Heavier transport but used, VS. Brand new unit with warranty. I can tell you ive seen those... | |
| What CD drive to use with DAC? Its all about transport weight, You can tell 90% of the quality of transport on a unit by weight, Not entirely but its a solid way of going about it at first in research, Most dac chips and such will only add a pound or 2 at most but going from a ... | |
| 1st time buyer: Paradigm vs Revel vs B&W vs ? Check out the older focal Electra's, They sound great and a very easy on the old lady | |
| 1st time buyer: Paradigm vs Revel vs B&W vs ? The B&W Matrix 804 Is a 3 way floor stander. The 805 is the monitor. I would highly recommend them as I have heard the newer B&W's and they just havent seemed enough better to justify spending the money VS. another component. $1500 would g... | |
| Focal 27WX 11" Subwoofer Application I would agree with you mostly, The only thing here is that my subs are literally designed purely for low output quality, My old Velodyne ULD-15 would probably knock harder.My subs are rated at a mere 250 watts and are the fastest most musical subs... | |
| Why the obsession with the lowest octave I just want to emulate my first car system that had 2 12's in a tiny saturn, Later a competition 15" sub where it sounds good (I thought it sounded good back then) | |
| Why the obsession with the lowest octave ElizabethFootball, fast cars, big tits, curvy ass babes, big stereos, "hard' rocking bassThis is what this all about. I dont care what anyone says, Its a little of showing off to ourselves more than anyone. Sure its an awesome hobby but I dont car... | |
| 1st time buyer: Paradigm vs Revel vs B&W vs ? Oh they do great for TV and movies, George Lucas started with the matrix line in skywalker sound is my understanding.Also these were replaced with a pair of legacy focus 20/20's and the difference was underwhelming. I really think you would be har... | |
| 1st time buyer: Paradigm vs Revel vs B&W vs ? B&W Matrix 804's, Look them up, I own a pair and am so satisfied. They do well under decent electronics and do great with great electronics. I have had them hooked up to tubes, High current Solid State, A pathos integrated, A surround sound re... | |
| tweaking cross over speaker I had a local awesome Tech upgrade my old Celestion Ditton 442's for maybe 200-300 bucks and it did wonders. Granted they were from the late 70's early 80's but still. Hey used the same caps in my Conrad Johnson MF200 (There black/really dark red ... | |
| What CD drive to use with DAC? I highly recommend the Denon 1650-AR. As far as transports go cannot be beaten with out spending FAR FAR more money IMHO, They are as bulletproof as a Mcintosh amp IMHO. They sound great. They play through the tracks quick and easy and will read a... | |
