Audiophile Crap

[Krilons Resa]

those two manufacturer's, amp-wise anyway, aren't your typical bbc sounding amps. for that, you'd wanna go with a Rega, or to a lesser extent NAD. But you still listen to Metal, right?

 

[lurch70]

Ken ... speakers are 89dB in room, 87dB anechoic.

 

[lurch70]

yeah, the reviews of the CA point to a pretty warm sound but with good bass slam considering its power.

I have owned a NAD power amp years ago ... solid stuff but I remember very harsh on the highs. It needed a bigger room though as well.

 

[Krilons Resa]

You'll be fine.

 

[Krilons Resa]

I'd still go for a NAD BEE Integrated with those bright as fuck Paradigms.

For amps, I'd go NAD. For digital, I'd go CA.

However, if you could somehow get the Rega Brio-R for a real good cost, you'd be strrrrrraight.

 

[lurch70]

those Paradigms are not bright at all dude ...

 

[Krilons Resa]

I'll call bullshit on that pal. Paradigms are bright as FUCK. A/B them with other speakers and you'll see.

 

[Krilons Resa]

The NAD should give you better bass too btw.

 

[lurch70]

well ... we'll see about the speakers next

however the current setup does not seem bright to me.
I think the CA would mellow them out more too

 

[lurch70]

btw, what kind of power do you get out of your Jolida?

 

[dorian gray]

I'm lost

 

[Krilons Resa]

I don't own a fucking Jolida.

 

[lurch70]

you know what I mean ...

 

[einride]

how many hours have you listened to your current setup so far?

i think this is still a relevant question

 

[dorian gray]

He's never listened to it

 

[Krilons Resa]

it's very relevant. also, your ears get acclimated to any type of sound and establish that as your "reference."

 

[Krilons Resa]

He's never listened to it

 

[lurch70]

i listened to it for about 20 hours give or take 15.

and what part of more sexy don't you guys get?

 

[einride]

few things are sexier than big black boxes from 1988 with all writing in microgramma

 

[Vittra]

god damn it lurch i told you to buy that shit and be happy, not start the downward spiral into madness
