| Phase Technology mini-monitors? I had a pair of 8.5 PC's (I'm not sure how these compared to yours), and the ADS L-1290's blew them away. | |
| Speaker Recomendation I love the B&W Nautilus line of speakers. Depending on budget, the Nautilus 802's are extremely nice. Imaging is wonderful, crystal clear highs and mids. Listen and you'll see! | |
| Favorite SS Amp? KRELL BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ALL KRELL AMPS ARE SUPERIOR. FROM THE KSA SERIES TO THE MASTER REFERENCE MONO'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | |
| ok guys get me into 200+ wpc I second the innersound esl. I own the new model and love it. I am sure the older models are very nice as well. | |
| Krell ksa-300s vs Pass Labs x-350 I hate to be a nay-sayer. However, I have heard awful things about the x-250. A friend of mine owned an FPB-200, which he upgraded (so he thought) to the x-250. He said it was one of the biggest audio mistakes he has ever made (just slightly worse... | |
| No Budget Amp? I've always liked the adcom amplifiers. If those are still too expensive, try the Sony TAN-220es. I purchased one for $120 for my office setup, and I like it a lot. Furthermore, this equipment sounds good with ads speakers. | |
| Comparing digital amps I am 100% elated with my innersound esl. It puts out 300wpc into an 8ohm load, is unconditionally stable into a 1/3 ohm load, and doesn't generate any heat. I don't even turn it off. Actually, I compared it to a Krell FPB-300, and it didn't fair b... | |
| Best Inexpensive DAC I think the Perpetual Tech P-3A is an okay piece. I own one and it suits my needs. I recommend the Monolithic power supply, for protection purposes. With the supply, it will be under $500 used. My only complaint is that it is not in the form of a ... | |
| upgrading caps -- easy to do? Dennis: I am not convinced that this will be such an easy project. Recently, I recapped an old integrated amplifier. I only replaced the power supply caps. The old caps will be very difficult to remove from the circuit boards, and will be slightly... | |
| Build a system around speakers in the $5-$7.5K Holzhauer, I've heard a couple of the pairs of speakers on your list, and do not think that they compare to the B&W's. I feel as though you should give a disclamer in your posts, warning people of your own personal preferences. I would be will... | |
| Build a system around speakers in the $5-$7.5K Hey holzhauer!: what about B&W's? B&W nautilus 802's are probably the most well received pair of loudspeakers going. | |
| I have serious AC questions. Help. Powervar? Thanks for the suggestions guys. I just found an unbelievable deal on a Monster HTPS-7000. | |
| Great Customer Service I have some serious concerns. I think service should not be an issue. For instance: jjmali's KRC was a $6700 preamp. IMO, a piece of this cost should see years of absolutely trouble free use. Upestateaudio has had to send two different pieces back... | |
| B&W 801 2or 3 I hate to pick, but I cannot understand how you would call the build quality "cheap" on the new Nautilus series B&W's. I personally own a pair of Matrix series 802's (similar in build to the 801's) and they simply don't compare (in any way) to... | |
