| Powerful Integrated amp for Proac Super Tablettes Creek or Naim- Krell not!! | |
| Which speakers would be a perfect match? Your taste in equipment is far from mine but I still want to recomend B&W 805 for those Brightstons-just kidding but I just think it would be a great match and you would be very happy with them as far as sound and build quality goes vs. the Mi... | |
| Help with $600 to $800 integrated amp This is simple, you have the right idea with Creek which I like more than Arcam or if you can find a naim, either one is the right one to go with. | |
| Merlin VMS versus VMPS RM-40 versus Proac 3.8 A local dealer sells VMPS and they look like they are made in a guarage. Very dinamic though and "good" build quality. Will play levels louder than your two other speakers listed. The Proacs are more audiophile with better parts,drivers/crossovers... | |
| Will an entry level Project or MusicHall be enough You have to go with the Rega, nothing else in the price range comes close. This is not an exagerated claim. The Rega's have arms and cartriges that all make for the best system synergy/compatability you can find. And yes they will generly smoke on... | |
| BAT VK50SE vs CJ 16LS vs ARC 25mrk II/Ref2 With the Soundlabs, I think I would go with the Bat, it has the dynamics that can really show off your speakers! I own a Herron matched to Merlins and McIntosh Mc2102 tube amp. It's a different set of goals than yours but I love those Soundlabs an... | |
| Whats up with Merlin? I have the VSM-M's also,brand new, and can say that Bobby is one of the easiest company ceo's you can get a hold of directly in the industry. He stops what he's doing on the spot to talk to his customers. Wow! As for the speakers, they are like th... | |
| Comparing 3 Tubed Preamps. Impressions? I think the Audible Illusions eara has ended. Accurate minus the musicality is just not going to get it done anymore. The BlueCircle is a can not lose purchase. The Herron is also a can not lose purchase with some build quality advantages such as ... | |
| Which pre-amp for the VAC 30/30 The Herron preamp is dead quiet and great sounding with very good output/input impedance specs. Should be a good match with amps like Art Audio Jota or the VAC 30/30. | |
| Attention: Dunlavy Audio Labs out of business If it is true, it does not surprise me in the least. While great speakers, they are not good looking by any standards. In thier respective price ranges, there are several other speakers that are preferable. Sound wise they are very competitive but... | |
| Any opinions on VTL mono-blocs MB450, etc ? I have the Merlin VSM-M and considered the VTL 450's with the upgraded caps. I also considered the Cary v-12 and 805's. I ended up with the kt88 based McIntosh 2102. For me, I decided I did'nt need all that power from the VTL's and wanted more of ... | |
| Which speakers work well with 2A3 Sun Audio or ? RH labs Lamhorn, Beauhorn,Loth-x, Lowther America. The single driver 95-100db rear loaded horn speakers are what you are looking for. you can not go wrong with any of the above names.Check out reviews from the Listner on the Lamhorns. Also check o... | |
| It's Magnepan 20.1's or B&W Nautilus 801's The first response is great and I agree totally with it. I will also add that when comparing between two items that you do not have a sonic preference for; I would go with the one that has better build quality. I have a local store with both of th... | |
| CAT or BAT???? The CAT will soundstage better, the BAT is only ballanced (in and out) The CAT is only single ended. Both are at the top for dynamics, build quality goes to CAT. Longevity goes to CAT, pride of ownership goes to CAT. Need a remote-go with BAT. Nee... | |
| What amp is best? I absolutly agree with Aboldor and his recommending the Sunfire Cinema Grand!!!! I had a budget of 9 grand and wanted to go with something like Proceed,Pass,Krell,EAd or some monoblocks for my Aerial 8b,cc3,7b combo. These were all listened to at ... |
