But I must say that your equipment deserves a better hi-fi rack.

QUOTE(PcWork @ May 12 2008, 05:56 PM) he is using BOSE companion speaker. =) NAD 3020A... my first ever amplifier. Bought second hand during my uni days, and I had to catch a bus to the guy's house to bring it home. Brings back great memories. What a classic amp!kkthen, by the way. i am driving my Sonus faber concertino domus with NAD 3020A amp. it's only rated with 25 watt. but i had request some E&E guys to do more grounding in the machine, extra grounding makes the background of music super quiet. and i am listening at low volume sonus faber concertino is not hard to drive. but in order to drive it to the taste you want, it require some test and trial. not just simply blast. it will go loud. but it require good controlling amp so that it "behave" nicely. creek is one of a big no no according to my experience testing with my own sonus.=) it will become bright and bottom light.

Yes, great as it was, the NAD 3020A is not doing your SF justice.

QUOTE(RJdio @ Nov 25 2008, 12:35 PM) Whats the remote infront of the ARC amp ? Looks cool. The remote control is a OneForAll universal remote. Looks really cool at night with its blue backlighting.Nice kit... a little surprised with your speaker choice, but have not heard it so cant comment. What kind of feet under the granite slab ? Yeah, totally agree with you about the speaker. I would consider that the amplification deserves better but times are bad so I have to go for this "poor man's Micro Utopia". But having said that, the Usher is not a bad speaker and is probably equivalent to something higher priced from UK or US. The Ushers replaced a pair of B&W 805 which costs a fair bit more, so that tells you something about what standard of speakers that they are comparable to. The granite slab under the power amp has wooden cones, and the granite slab under the CDP has Vibrapods. This post has been edited by Audio Nirvana: Dec 3 2008, 05:01 PM |

Yes, I think the Usher BE-718 is one of the most bang for the buck speakers, even though the price here is more expensive than Taiwan. Having said that, we do get it cheaper here than in US or UK, and even at their prices, the Americans still think that it is great value for money.
As for the granite slabs, I got them at this granite factory near Subang Airport. They do granite for kitchens, etc. Only regret is not getting the edges polished as well. Will have to do that next time. |

RM7.5k. My opinion is that original stand matches the speaker in terms of look, but I don't think it's all that solid and I think there are other stands out there that would sound better.... like those made by Partington and Sound Anchor (both of which are sadly unavailable in Malaysia).

QUOTE(RJdio @ Nov 26 2008, 11:59 AM) wow comparing them to the C2's is quite an accolade. I certainly wouldn't dare to, but this is the Stereophile review that mentioned the BE718 "came eerily close" to the C1.http://www.usheraudio.cz/data/test/test-en...stereophile.pdf |

Chef, I have to say your homemade speakers look pretty professional.
