Hi, In the site link below, you can find pictures of my HT Room project. http://johmabe.fotoblog.uol.com.br The architect wants to install my PSB GOLDi in-wall. How about that? Is that good for acoustics? Also, they are in front of each other, with a good 5m between them. Can...

Hello folks, I've recently purchased a PSB GOLDi, to match a McCormack DNA-1 and McCormack TLC-1 pre-amp. I also have a Sunfire subwoofer, but I rarely use it. The thing is that, although I'm close to satisfied with the PSB's, it is very far from perfect. My main complaint is the lack of...

Yea, I'm an investment banker here. So my decision sometimes (most of the time really) is geared towards the best money-return. I'll try to be an audiophile this time, though.

As you guys may already know (since I post here every other week), I'm shopping for speakers. I currently own a pair of Dynaudio Audience 120, which are too small to give me the bass and upper-bass response I need for my favorite music style, progressive electronic music, very loud I must add...

Dear audiophiles, I'm considering upgrading my pair of Dynaudio Audience 120 speakers to mammoth tower speakers, and the two options I'm currently considering, after so much research, are the PSB Stratus GOLDi and the Thiel CS3.6. The PSB is new, the Thiel, much obviously, is used...

Hello all, Christmas is coming, and I'll buy my pre-amplifier in the next few days. The time to make a decision has come, and my choices have been narrowed to the Quad 99 and the Adcom GFP-750. The latter is $200 more expensive, but I'm willing to pay it with no hassle, should it be a better...

How about the Quad 99? Heard good things about it, just not sure if it can keep up with the rest.

I'm currently considering some pre-amplifiers, and I stumbled upon a Sunfire Symphonic Reference pre-amp for a cheap price in Brazil. My other choices are the Quad 99 preamo, the Adcom GFP-750, the Audio Research LS3, the Jeff Rowland Consonance and the Rotel RC-1090. I can't find none other...

Just realized the TLC-1 has been sold. Will consider the Quad 99, although I like the Consonance.

I'm looking for a pre-amplifier to improve my system, I've got a Mccormack DNA 0.5 driving Dynaudio LR120+. I have few choices here where I live, such as the Jeff Rowland Consonance, Quad 99, Mccormack, Adcom, Rotel RC-1090, Rotel RC-1070, Qed Vector and Creek OBH-12. Not much more. I was...

I went to a shop yesterday, bought myself a very nice Mccormack DNA 0.5 used. Anyway, the salesman had a Thiel 3.6 used for sale, the "claimed" price was $3300, here in Brazil high-end is very expensive so do not be freaked out by the price tag. I can talk the guy out to $2500, I believe, not...

Just bought the Mccormack DNA 0.5, after ALOT of research. Thank you all who helped me choose. Anyway, my second step on the upgrade now will be to buy a pre-amplifier. I have some cheap options available, but I want something that will make me satisfied for years to come, so research, again is...

Kevin, could you send me this review? My e-mail is [email protected] Thanks in advance...

Tight low bass is what the manufacturer and the reviewer claims. And one of my main doubts on the speaker.

People in Brazil are talking so much about this pair of speakers. It's relatively cheap here ($700) and it's a full range pair with lots of bass and arguably good midrange. The Soundstage review is raving, it even compares this speaker to the marvelous B&W Nautilus 804, giving the edge to these...

And the MK K-9 was the follow up to the VX7 MK2. So its output might be as low. Guess it'd not be worth it for me, then. Or has it improved? Any more thoughts on this?

Well, he's rendered his opinion, but not among all of these subwoofers. He said that the S120PII is a better value compared to the Sunfire True MKIV. But not when comparing to these other options.

I need to buy a budget subwoofer to compliment my system. My options are narrowed to these: JBL S120PII TANNOY mXsub 10-M M&K K-10 Athena P3 M&K VX7 Which of these would be a better choice for a small room? Accuracy for electronic music mainly is needed... Tom Vodhanel himself advised...

Got this from Audioholics: http://www.audioholics.com/FAQs/Aragon2.html "According to Aragon Engineering: "The 3000 series amplifiers are based on a scaled down design on the original 8008 series with the removal of the DC servo for space conservation, and additional tweaking for...

hmm, forget about it then, I'm located in Brazil:thumbsdown:

I read somewhere, that the main difference between the Acurus and the Aragon is that the first does not have the DC that Aragon has to drive low impedance amps... That puts me off a little. But 250w is tempting, that's for sure.

Hmm, well after all this discussion, my amp selection still goes on. I now have to choose between a new Rotel RB-1070 and an used Acurus A250. I'd pair it with a Rotel pre-amp MC-1070 or an Acurus RL11 preamp or maybe even an Acurus Act3 Processor, depending upon my choice. The source would...

I want to buy a new Rotel pre-amplifier (RC-1070) and I was wondering if you guys know any dealer who will sell for less than the list price. Thanks in advance

Is there much difference between these two? I could get the Planet for $150 more. Is it worth it? Or can the Rotel hold its own against the Rega?

I'm to buy my new amplifier in a few days. It'll replace my Roksan Kandy, and I'm gonna use it to power a pair of Dynaudio Audience LR120+. These are 6ohms speakers. I was wondering what would be better for me, the Rotel RB-1070, newer version 130w per channel 8ohms, or the Acurus A250, which is...

Mostly, I want SACD and CD quality playback. DVD is a plus.

Yea, indeed... Would you buy the Philips 963SA or the Pioneer 563a?

I found the Pioneer 656a SACD-DVD-CD in a local store. Is it better than the 563a? It's MSRP is 300 pounds.

Hmm, well,I've got a Dynaudio Audience 120 pair. It's a 6ohm 200w speaker... The RB-1070 probably would handle that, right? I'd like a good all-around amp for many years. And considering I intend to switch speakers soon, to Paradigm Studio which are alot sensitive, I think the RB-1070 would...

Nice...but would the 991's 200w make a huge difference over the 1070's 130w?
