Built Over TimeWhoops. It seems in my excitement to post I did not say what the amp was. It was the DartZeel N108b. posted over 17 years ago | View comment | |
Built Over TimeOne thing I forgot to mention clearly is the overall sound characteristics. First, it did not sound like SS. I have heard many solid state amps. Albeit, not in my system though. I have heard MBL, A... posted over 17 years ago | View comment | |
Built Over TimeWell, I had the chance to listen to the amp in my system. Let me first say that the build quality looks simply incredible. I happen to like the look of it.Barry from Transparent Systems came ov... posted over 17 years ago | View comment | |
My stereo systemNot a problem. I have been in audio for about 10 years now. My present system is a HT/2ch because of lack of space. I really want to have both and I think I can have my cake and eat it too. But I w... posted over 17 years ago | View comment | |
Built Over TimeI know I know. I would really like to do it. But there are other forces working against me :). One thing I am really considering is getting rid of the Monster AVS2000. At this point I only have two... posted over 17 years ago | View comment | |

My stereo systemThat's a nice setup you got there. I have heard Cayin before and really liked it. Don't see many profile's. I have the 1027B'es. But I am sure that they are very fine speakers. A sweet looking firs... posted over 17 years ago | View comment | |
My SystemThanks for the reply. I used to think that bass was an issue with my 927's but with these, in my room, I am very satisfied with the bass. It could be my amp as well. And you are right. They are ver... posted over 17 years ago | View comment | |
CHECKMATECan I ask how big your room is. LxWxH? Does the pass amp ever get so hot that it makes the room uncomfortable?Thanks posted over 17 years ago | View comment | |
CHECKMATEI have no doubt that the sound you are getting is top shelf.Thanks for the tip on the heat. My Bryston runs very hot, and to be truthful, I was trying to get something that would cut down on th... posted over 17 years ago | View comment | |
CHECKMATEThe pictures do look very nice. Do you try and pull the speakers forward when you listen to music? When I moved my speakers out so there was nothing in between them, it made a huge difference. Than... posted over 17 years ago | View comment | |
My SystemNice setup. I have the 1027's myself. I am using a Bryston 4b-ST right now but I am in the very early stages of amp research. What short falls are you experiencing? In my room, I really can't pin a... posted over 17 years ago | View comment | |
The TaoGreat looking system. I heard the WP8's at CES with a few different pieces of gear. They sounded very very nice every time I heard them. That is a great looking room. I know I PM'ed you about Ayre ... posted over 17 years ago | View comment | |
Built Over TimeSystem edited: New sub added. The Seaton Sound SubMersive1 is a beast. It sounds incredible in my room. A great buy and I have no regrets. posted over 17 years ago | View comment | |
Mike Lavigne's SystemGreat job on the subs Mike. It does seem like they are the real deal. Like I said in my email, I have a Seaton Sound SubMersive1 and I love it for movies and MC music. I really have not used it for... posted over 17 years ago | View comment | |
CHECKMATENice updated system. I see you changed from the 1027's to the Sophia's. Did the Wilson's just sound that much better? I still have my 1027's and I think I will for a while. If you can remember, do ... posted over 17 years ago | View comment | |
Built Over TimeThanks for the thoughts Dewald. It is something that I am thinking about very much. I have talked with a dealer and he is really sure that I should do this. The rack does sound very sophisticated. ... posted over 17 years ago | View comment | |
Built Over TimeThanks for the nice words. The picture may be deceiving. The speaker placement works out pretty well for music and movies as it is. It took me a while to get the placement just right with these spe... posted over 17 years ago | View comment | |
Mike Lavigne's SystemThanks for the reply Mike. I know Barry wants me to take care of the wall unit first. When I make it out to his store, I am sure we can have a nice and thorough discussion about what I should do. F... posted over 17 years ago | View comment | |
Mike Lavigne's SystemRegarding my wall unit Mike, I am very interested and will more then likely get the dart amp. Do you think that I will seriously compromise its performance if I put it in the same place as have my ... posted over 17 years ago | View comment | |
Mike Lavigne's SystemThanks Mike.I will see what happens. First I need to get my new sub installed next week. Then some time after that go up to Barry and have a talk with him. The one reason I am hesitant is that ... posted over 17 years ago | View comment | |
Mike Lavigne's SystemThanks Mike. Your comments are very helpful. No. My amps are not on the floor. I have monster power conditioners. The SRA platforms sit on those and my amps sit on top of the platforms. It is just ... posted over 17 years ago | View comment | |
Mike Lavigne's SystemOK.Thanks for the explanation. So in reality, isolation is the way to go. I guess at this point I am using grounding methods. Now for sure I am going to look into changing my wall unit. I don't... posted over 17 years ago | View comment | |
