| Wilson Wat Puppy 7 or Avalon Opus Ceramique? Keep in mind that you guys are recommending large and outgoing speakers with big room requirements when we don't even know the size of this room. | |
| Wilson Wat Puppy 7 or Avalon Opus Ceramique? Hi Mike,How big is the room?I like Dynaudio monitors (Special 25 and C1) but they need to be cranked a bit to really open up, and they like a nice, big room. So I don't think I'd recommend them for your situation...Maybe a nice pair of Sonus Faber... | |
| Wilson Wat Puppy 7 or Avalon Opus Ceramique? I wouldn't buy such a capable speaker if you can't turn them up loud. The whole point of getting big speakers like these is to enjoy their macro-dynamic capabilities.Go with some nice monitors and save a ton of money. Wait until you have a house t... | |
| Saw the Stereophile review of the B&W 800 Diamond Budt says:"I would say the 802D would score a 6 and the 800 Diamonds a 9"My question for Bud, is why would you buy a ~$15k speaker that only is a '6'? :-)Most of the rest of the comments seem to be saying that they are all in all pretty similar sp... | |
| So, what DON'T you spend money on? I spend money on about everything mentioned in this thread... Why the hell not, we're only on this planet once! Might as well enjoy it. Though like Feil, I don't lose money on finance charges! Except the car loan on the Audi S - gotta sacrifice va... | |
| Good turntable needed, need recomendations. Definitely buy new from a local dealer - the setup help will be valuable. Honestly, Basis is a great recommendation. Ultimately they are a very solid product for the price, very quality engineering. I'm not as familiar with the Vector arm, but I'm... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Downunder says:"I am quite impressed with the Denon DL-S1 given its cheap entry point of 500-600 odd bucks."Where can I buy a DL-S1 for $500-$600 dollars? | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Has anyone heard the Empire 2000Z cartridge? I came upon a NOS one and I'm wondering what the consensus is, if any. Thanks. | |
| Would this room work? Trying to get that room to sound good will make you go crazy. Sound is going to be 'meh' at best - the 13' dimension is too small and those sloped ceilings will create a nightmare. If you want to have better than average sound, keep looking. Or bu... | |
| dynuaudio c-1s in a small 10x12 room?/amppower? Bad, bad idea. The C1s need a lot of room to breathe and for the drivers to integrate. Even a 14 x 16 or so room is too small for them. They are a bold sounding speaker and need power (important) and lots of room (more important).The suggestion to... | |
| Integrated for Gallo 3.1 Those bass drivers are 4 ohms, and as such like a nice high current SS amp. I'd look into something with 150WPC or more that doubles into 4 ohms. | |
| HELP Rega P-7; VPI Classic 2; Scout 2 or ? I'd pick the P7 as the RB700 is a significantly better arm than the VPI 9 IMHO | |
| Amps for Maxx 2's I think he's messing with us | |
| Any better spkrs than Era D4's for computer audio? The D4s are not really made for really nearfield listening. I tried putting mine on my computer desk and it didn't sound right.What you want are the DS4.5. They have a similar tonal balance, but are designed to be listening to super nearfield. I u... | |
| RCM recommendations I like the Nitty Gritty... I have the 1.5FI, has auto fluid application which the VPI 16.5 does not |
