| Any WARM, MUSICAL speakers out there? Have I got a speaker for you! And, you'll save some $$$$. I had the same budget. I ended up buying a pair of $13k speakers. I also, around the same time, had a wonderful deal presented to me on a pair of Sonus Faber Electa Amator IIs: I thought I'... | |
| Spendor SP1/2e's vs. SP100's I spent one afternoon auditioning the 100s, along with Verity Fidelios. The 100s sounded boxy, slow, and "old." The system was first-rate: Thor tube cd (player, I believe), Thor electronics. We also switched out to some solid state (Jeff Rowland) ... | |
| Anyone heard the Pass x.2.5? I owned one for several months. Previously, I had several preamps, active and passive. It is one beautiful sounding, and looking, preamp. I had it mated with the X250 amp. In MY system, it was magical. I changed frontends and went to a cdp direct ... | |
| Best amp for Sonus Faber Amati Homage? My Electa Amator IIs are beautiful, fast, and musical mated with my Edge NL-10. At 225/side w/plenty of high current muscle, the low-end is tight and low (they're acoustic suspension).This is a special amp, a Golden Ear (TAS) winner a year or two ... | |
| Best amp for Avalon Eidolon speakers? Lloyd: You'd be doing yourself a disservice by not listening to the Edge solid state amps. I can state my NL-10 makes musical magic w/my SF EAIIs and my Accuphase 75v.At the past several Las Vegas THEs, Edge has driven different speakers each time... | |
| amp & preamp for acapella violon Do not do anything final until you try the Edge NL-10s @ 225/ch. As has been proven at the last 3 THE shows, they can mate well w/many speakers. With my Sonus Fabers---beautiful (I won't even consider tubes, anymore). Give Tom a call at Edge and g... | |
| Accuphase A50V with Sonus Faber Amati I'm using Accuphase 75v> Edge NL-10 (225/ch)> SF Electa Amator IIs. I believe the Amatis are less demanding, power wise: I need all the power for rock at concert hall volumes.I immediately previously had the Pass X250 and it was less impress... | |
| Suggestions for a monitor speaker Sonus Faber Electa Amator IIs:If you value music, this may be the best monitor on the planet. No, deep bass isn't there, but probably in most rooms down to 50 w/solidity, and 40 hz with diminishing returns (and lower). What you get is sota imaging... | |
| Why an active preamp with Rock-N-Roll ? Active or passive ain't the issue. It's how well the components match, i.e. synergy.My cdp direct to ss amp has all the "snap" you'd want: on certain Radiohead cuts, you can reach out and feel the electronic current---pulsating. But it also has th... | |
| Best power for 10,000 Run, don't walk, to listen to the Edge NL-10. You can find one used (rarely, but it happens) for around 6k. I owned Pass X250 immediately before it, and think it would be a good choice as well. Both are un-harsh, powerful, and extremely well-made. | |
| Personal amp evolution Dynaco (120? so long ago I don't remember!); JVC; Yamaha; Classé DR-8; BEL MK III; Pass X250; Edge NL-10. The Edge ends my quest for what I feel will be a very long time. It has all the attributes I have looked for, and it's high power give me fle... | |
| Amp suggestion for Kharma Ceramique 2s?? You want minimalist? I'm running my Accuphase 75v directly into my Edge NL-10 (AU24), and over to the Sonus Faber EA IIs (Discovery Essential). The sound is detailed, liquid, and surprisingly satisfying in the bass, considering the 6" woofer and m... | |
| Accuphase cdp direct guys: I appreciate the feedback, I've been going through a lot of equipment changes lately. I just started running the Pass w/balanced between pre and amp and there was an improvement: seems like the instruments are more clearly etched (I've been thinki... | |
| Wilson Benesch Arc Speakers? Spectacular? Oh, great. This just keeps getting worse! | |
