| Sonus Faber vs B&W The Concerto is much better then the 805. It has much better bass, with the Concerto I don't feel the need for sub. The Concerto's are much more life like and smoother and more detailed. The silk dome tweeter of the concerto lets it capture more o... | |
| Liked the Nautilus 805 but found better? I have owned the Nautilus 804 and 803 and found that they were both good, but there were better stuff out there for less money. Try the Sonus Faber Concerto Home which goes for $1895 plus the matching $450 stands. It goes down to 45hx, the Electa ... | |
| Omega Amp Opinions? Go with the Omega, so much smoother and more detailed and a lot more powerful. I would also check out Goldmund, I personally think they arethe smoothest most detailed and musical SS out there. | |
| cables for Sonus Faber Musica I've had great success for Transparent Audio cable with Sonus Faber. I would recommend the Super or Ultra for your speakers. Infact in the transparent audio brochure they actually have a picture of a Guarneri hooked up to transparent | |
| McCormack RLD-1 Preamplifier Never heard the Electro but heard that the CD you have is quite good. | |
| McCormack RLD-1 Preamplifier Well the RLD-1 was designed to go with the DNA125/225. I've heard them together with the new Martin Logan Ascent and I think its a very neutral musical pair. It seems to get the harmonics right, there-by meaning that it has a sense of the ease pre... | |
| Martin Logan Aerius with subwoofer ????? If you want to do a sub get a Rel, Their beautiful matches. Also don't let anyone tell you that you can't mate a ML with a sub, what do you think they use right now for bass? Its a panel with a (SUB)woofer in the same cabinet | |
| Amps for B&W 803? I've home demoed all the amps above. I bought the CJ, it has a much better harmonic presentation then the others. However I think you might need the Krell to control the 803 which I also used to own. I would suggest getting a CJ tube preamp to get... | |
| Classe CDP-1.5, 1 or .5 experience?? IF you can find the old CD-1 get it, it was $3500 retail and sounds much better then the new 1.5 which is only $2500. They have cut back on the parts for the transport in the 1.5 because the market for $3500 one box players is less now thanks to SACD | |
| Cal Audio CL-10 or Theta Miles Theta all the way, it has a much smoother more detailed soundstage versus the Cal Audio which although very good still sounds very hifi and has a little metallic charector to the sound thats just not natural | |
| B&W Matrix vs Martin Logan Home Theater I've heard a ML system with the Prodigys up front and as rears and the new theater as surround being driven by a 70watt Rotel receiver. You don't need a lot of power | |
| Some of the biggest audio places carry.. Spectral in my mind is the most detailed and "accurate" stuff out there. Spectral systems resolve more detail then anything else made. They are as neutral as you can get. They don't add any euphonius quality to the sound as Conrad-Johnson do. But ... | |
| What CD has the best production/sound? Some reference recordings sound quite nice as do most Chesky. I think Chesky has the more natural sound, while reference, which is recorded on Spectral gear, that the engineer Keith O. Johnson also designed, sounds very neutral | |
| Should I ad a Krell KCT pre to my HTS the KCT would sound much better because its $1500 more then the HTS and stereo only, therefore they would be able ot put much more money into the gain stage of the KCT and its designed for stereo, so it would sound better in stereo then the HTS wh... | |
| Opinion Conrad Johnson Solid state Amps I own a MF2500 and I think that it sounds better then the Premier 11a it replaced. Its just as smooth in the midrange and rich and lush except ever slighty cooler. I think Conrad-Johnson makes some of the most satisflying equipment out there. I ow... |
