| Sell towers for bookshelves? Quick question, how do the older B&W Matrix 804s compare to my NHTs? (With my current amplification) | |
| Sell towers for bookshelves? Elevick, are you referring to my current speakers as far as decoupling goes? They actually have NHT's spike kit installed, allowing each speaker to touch the floor at the tips of four rather sharp spikes only. Still, I think that I would have less... | |
| Sell towers for bookshelves? And as far as other advantages over the towers I have read that of bookshelves and towers of the same price, bookshelves will generally be of higher quality. I am looking for more detail in my music now, and am willing to sacrifice low end (especi... | |
| Sell towers for bookshelves? Thanks for the feedback so far. I'm just sort of feeling around as I'm curious as to how much I would have to spend for a significant upgrade in sound quality in the speaker department.Meiwan, yes I do believe that the towers may have too much bot... | |
| Sell towers for bookshelves? Almost forgot, I don't really have much of a price range because I haven't though about this too much yet, but I would probably look to spend up to $600 or $700. | |
| McCormack Power amp "buzz" Hi all, so I finally picked up a couple of 3-2 cheater plugs to try and lift the grounds on the Decco and power amp. Sure enough, lifting the ground on the power amp solved the problem, the buzz is gone!Any ideas what my next step would be? I don'... | |
| Budget amp for NHT 2.5i - suggestions? Hey guys, yeah so I've had most everything hooked up for the last two weeks or so and I am loving how it all sounds. Again, I ended up with the Decco as my dac/pre going into the DNA 0.5 deluxe. I am using unterminated BJC speaker wire (Belden) wh... | |
| Audio Art IC-3 vs. Speltz Anti-IC I see, Morrow has a deal on the MA-1s right now also, so I think I may just go with those for now. I have BJC speaker wire and just need ICs, so I had planned on sticking with the BJC speaker wire and just spending a little more on the ICs. Any th... | |
| Audio Art IC-3 vs. Speltz Anti-IC Interesting, Morrow's only cable in my price range is the MA-1. Would this clearly outperform both the Anti-IC and the AA IC? I was leaning towards the Anti-ICs lately but I would certainly like some more input. Thanks. | |
| Budget amp for NHT 2.5i - suggestions? Right that's what I had thought. Thanks! Excited to hear how this will sound. Hopefully 100wpc will be enough..for now at least. In the future I may bi-amp using the McCormack for the mid/tweeters and something else to drive the 8" woofers. While ... | |
| Budget amp for NHT 2.5i - suggestions? Hi guys, so I ended up getting a Decco and a McCormack DNA 0.5 deluxe. I have yet to receive them/hook them up, but I had one more question. In using the power amp with the Decco, will the amp section of the Decco be bypassed? If the DNA is 100wpc... | |
| Cleaning speaker cabinet? NHT 2.5i Interesting, you think that would work better than wax? I wouldn't use furniture cleaner as I've heard it can have potential to damage the finish (though i'm sure it works for many). I figured I would try some wax though (like that NXT tech wax) a... | |
| Budget amp for NHT 2.5i - suggestions? I see. I think I will be on the look out for a McCormack DNA-0.5. From what I've seen so far it doesn't look like they are too hard to find, so that's good. I'll also be on the lookout for a used Decco or maybe Decco 2 (anybody know how much bette... | |
| Cleaning speaker cabinet? NHT 2.5i Thanks for the helpful responses guys. I actually posted the same question on a different forum and got a response of using Meguiars® NXT Tech Wax coupled with their microfiber detailing cloths. From these responses too, it looks like waxing is... | |
| Budget amp for NHT 2.5i - suggestions? Yeah I've read that the DNA-0.5 is a solid amp for these speakers, looks like they can be had for around $600 used. Definitely looks like a nice amp, I'm guessing it would be a big improvement over a B&K (which could be had for closer to $200 ... |
