| Anything that is like Norah Jones? Jenna Mammina's been around for a few years and does music along the same lines. Highly recommended. | |
| Review: B & W Loudspeakers Nautilus 805 Monitor If you like the N805 then you will be blown away with the Signature version which has increased bass performance and smoother highs. | |
| Dynaudio Contour 1.3SE brightness? It's the Musical Fidelity gear that you are hearing the brightness in, not the speakers. The 1.3se is one of the best monitors I've heard along with the Sonus Faber Electa Amator II. Very neutral tonal balance. | |
| S.F Cremona True, the price difference between the Cremona and Amati is dramatic so the performance should be in a different league. It's just that for $500 more the B&W N802 betters the Cremona in every way. It isn't as home-friendly but does one buy for... | |
| S.F Cremona I have to second Semi's response, the Amati is in an entirely differet league than the Cremona. The Amatis (along with the Guanari & Electa Amator) are quite special but the Cremona can be overly bright and rough in the uppermids and the bass ... | |
| Best recoding of Mozart's Requiem The only problem with the Herrweghe recording is that the female voices in the Kyrie become very strident and difficult to listen to at times. Other than the sound issue the performance is one of the best I've heard but I have yet to hear the Schr... | |
| Which is best Simaudio W-5 or Blue Circle BC 26? Has anyone compared these head-to-head? I am also very interested in these amps. Thanks. | |
| Best HDCD Jazz CDs Don't you guys mean Time Out? Take Five is a cool song and all but it isn't the only cool song on the album. | |
| Am I the only one who thinks B&W is mid-fi? Joe b has what I feel to be a very accurate description of what B&W sound was and has become. Neubilder, I have heard many Linn systems (having sold them for 2 years, I should have!) in many different circumstances and I stand by my descriptio... | |
| SF Guarneri Homage "What tweeter do they use?" It is a Dynaudio driver that has been custom modified with a pear wood sphere attached to the back of the frame/magnet assembly. | |
| Where to get chassis for monoblocks? For a small run (4) of custom steel & aluminium boxes with venting on the top and sides and a finished faceplate expect to pay alot more than $200 per chassis. The tooling and finishing is quite time consuming and the labor alone could cost $2... | |
| Am I the only one who thinks B&W is mid-fi? TWL, what Linn & B&W speakers are you referring to? In the past I have sold B&W and Linn speakers through a few generations, including the lastest ones, and find your descriptions the complete opposite of what I've found. The Linn spea... | |
| Another "what would you buy"preamp question..Sorry The Blue Circle is a sweet sounding preamp, the best I have heard in that price range. | |
| Musical Fidelity A324 DAC as good as Tellig says? I don't have my N803s biamped currently but I did try a single A3cr power amp and it has a great, transparent sound but it just ran out of steam at anything above a modest volume. I have also tried the A3dac and you will get better (larger, richer... | |
| Musical Fidelity A324 DAC as good as Tellig says? Forget about the MF DAC, your FMJ23 is a great player. If you are looking for an upgrade get a second A3CR power amp and biamp your N803s. Having them myself I know that they could use a little more power than the one A3 can provide. |
