| BitPerfect for Mac vs Pure Music I have been trying BitPerfect, JRiver Media Center 19 for Mac, Pure Music 2.0, and most recently got Amarra 3.0. I am hard pressed to "hear" differences between playback on these various players. However, the user interfaces are vastly different. ... | |
| Bookshelf speakers for Peachtree Nova125 Silverline Minuets--about $600 in beautiful rosewood with beautiful rich sound to match. | |
| help focal 726v to 836v? True, at 40% or more off, the Chorus models are a great buy. My dealer doesn't have them out on display anymore though--replaced with Aria models. So I can't do a comparison. | |
| Which REL subs for ProAc One SCs? No I have no insider info on D38's! But I do know of some 2.5's available in Oak finish. | |
| Which REL subs for ProAc One SCs? Jim--I know of a pair of Response 2.5's for sale!! Where are you located? ProAcs are remarkable speakers, I've loved every model I've ever heard, big or tiny. | |
| Budget $3000-3500 new or used Schubert, good to know. The Silverline Sonatina IVs and these Genesis 7.1f demos are my short list. Haven't heard either one, but have owned and love other speakers in their lines. | |
| Budget $3000-3500 new or used Interesting development--a pair of dealer demo Genesis 7.1f's are available within my price range. Tall slim floor standers with the sound signature I am used to with my 500's. | |
| Budget $3000-3500 new or used Now someone is offering a pair of Triangle Stratus Volante for under $3000. Again, never heard them, but have heard good things about these models. | |
| Which REL subs for ProAc One SCs? Jim, yes REL provides the Neutrik cable, although you can also buy after-market upgrades too. I had one made by somebody here on Audiogon some years ago, now I see that Kimber makes one specifically for REL subs, I think Signal Cable has one too. ... | |
| Budget $3000-3500 new or used Thanks RHLJazz--I had two of those on my "watch" list, not familiar with the Alon/Nola sound at all. I have owned Coincident monitors in the past, very nice sound, comparable to Silverline IMO. | |
| Which REL subs for ProAc One SCs? The REL "high level" connection via the Neutrik Speakon cable connects directly to the speaker terminals of your power amp for the most balanced implementation possible of the subwoofer. The Neutrik cable has three strands, yellow, red and black; ... | |
| help focal 726v to 836v? Curious as to why you are not considering the new Aria line? I listened to 3 models in that line about 2 weeks ago and was very impressed. But I haven't heard the Chorus models you are referencing. | |
| Which REL subs for ProAc One SCs? I had these speakers in an open living room/dining room/hallway like yours, and the REL Storm III I had worked superbly. Like REL recommends, I had the crossover way down and I never had the gain up past 12 o'clock. This setup worked perfectly for... | |
| Budget $3000-3500 new or used I have a local dealer with Maggies. Perhaps I will give them an audition, haven't listened to them since the Tympani IV in the 80's (which I loved). I wonder how they would fare on my BAT mono blocks, possibly not enough power. Right now I am maki... | |
| Budget $3000-3500 new or used The repair is too expensive. If I were an engineer, I would jury-rig something with an outboard amp for the woofers. My brother may give that a try. In the meantime I hope to find something I can live with--for less $$! Probably an impossible dream. |
