I hope my previous post didn't give the impression that I'm dismissive of the knowledgeable and accomplished engineers who design our systems. We owe them a huge debt of gratitude. Without them we'd...

I'm hoping I can open this can of worms in a way that won't raise anybody's hackles, but it is partly about politics, so I'll try to tread lightly. With our incoming administration proposing to...

A subject dear to my heart, this. As a professional musician, my approach is far more subjective than it is objective, and let's face it, I don't really have any kind of engineering background so...

Thanks for the replies. I missed my chance with that used Modwright but I'll keep my eyes open. One of the things that was happening in my present system is that the Proacs, though used, actually...

God, I hope not!

Well, it appears that the odds don't favor this direct comparison, so maybe I should approach this from a different angle. I'd be very interested in hearing from any current or former Modwright...

Looking for some guidance here. I've owned a Hegel H200 for about 2 years now and at the moment it's partnered with Proac Response D-2s. These speakers are sort of an experiment, as they became...

I bought a brand new Rel S-2 subwoofer last December and at first it didn't seem to integrate all that well with my ProAcs even after following Rel's detailed instructions about placement and tuning....

My own real-world experience echoes The Professor's post very closely. I bought a brand new pair of ProAc Response 1 SCs back in 2004 (I'm still listening to them) and was deeply disappointed when I...

Solid state, always have been. I recently heard a high-end tube system (Aesthetix, though I think their amplifier is a hybrid design) and I certainly understand the appeal, it just didn't suit my own...

Mike, these are the same Response 1SC's that I've had for the last 11 years or so.

Here's an update 10 months later: there have been changes to the system that have made enormous differences. Firstly, after living with the PS Audio DAC for a few months, a Bryston BDA-1 became...

A further recommendation from a current Hegel owner (I have the H-200 integrated): I think you can find a used H-80 or H-100 somewhere near your price range. These have the added advantage of a...

I'm probably jumping the gun here, as according to Parasound's website this new Halo integrated won't ship until mid-April, but I was wondering if anybody's actually heard one yet? I owned a Halo A23...

To answer Shadowfax's query, I'm about 90% satisfied with how the Proacs sound with the Hegel H200. At first I was shocked at how shrill they sounded compared to my previous system (Parasound Halo...

Hi, everybody. Looking forward to following the various threads on this forum, which I found through the forums on Audiogon.com. My approach to this audiophile hobby is much more a musical one than a...
