| Gamut D200 vs Plinius SA102 class a vs. ab Bud - I can't speak for the Gamut, but can tell you the SA-102 sounds better when operating in Class A vs. AB. If you have concerns with using the Plinius in Class A, go with a different amp that runs cooler. | |
| Audio Aero Capitole 24/196 I tried changing the fuses to no avail. Today I shipped my unit out to Audio Aero's NA Service Center in California. | |
| Audio Aero Capitole 24/196 Ckoffend... My Capitole 24/192 just lost power yesterday for no apparent reason. I'm gong to try changing the fuses first before I send it in for repairs. Pleast let me know what you find out. | |
| Time for a change Your equipment is very good. You just need to make sure your speaker load is not too demanding. The Hales are reputable speakers as well, but would benefit from a more powerful amplifier.I'd consider looking at the various Meadowlark speakers list... | |
| Time for a change All well respected speakers. The Vandies always provide very good bang for the buck, but I question whether your amp is hefty enough for either the Vandies or the F-30's. If you plan on sticking with your amp, the Quinta's would appear on paper to... | |

| Ayre K-3X or Aesthetix Calypso? with a I'm a biased fan of the Calypso. With the right NOS tubes, this preamp stands out. | |
| How particluar are Dynaudio C-4's to room placement? Mike - Your room size is fine. You should be fine with some placement experimentation and some subtle room treatments. Let us know how it goes and what the rest of your system consists of. | |
| How particluar are Dynaudio C-4's to room placement? Mike,You will have to experiment. My hunch is that you will probably be OK with them pulled out 35" from the back wall to the rear of the speaker, especially considering you will have 6 feet on the sides (vs. my 36" to the side wall). However, I c... | |
| How particluar are Dynaudio C-4's to room placement? C4's are definitely room dependant and can overwhelm a small room. Mine are approx. 40" off the back wall... although you can probably compensate a shorter distance with bass traps and assorted room treatments. My room is 21' x 15' with 7' ceiling... | |

Shameless plug to follow ;)Long time Dynaudio owner here... starting with two pairs of Audience monitors which I still own, then Contour 1.3SE's, then Confidence C2's, and currently the Confidence C4's in my main system. I've had great ... | |
| Consonance A120 vs. Jolida JD1501RC integrated amp I have the Jolida JD1501RC in a secondary system paired with Dynaudio 52 monitors and a Pioneer Elite DVD player.
