Went to hear the Martin Logan 40's with arcam 19. After the cool salesman let us listen to b&w 800d with McIntosh amps Insane

I must say that i had an alternative right under my nose. Duh. I connected my hard disk with all my music on my Panasonic DMP 220 blue-ray which has a pretty good DAC of its own. it is definitely much better sounding than my laptop. How much better connecting a better DAC to the Panasonic's...

My girlfriend has a good CD collection and I also want to have all my music in one place. Is it a better idea for longevity and sound quality to rip all the CDs onto an external hard drive instead of blank CDs that will scratch and degrade pretty quickly? If they were ripped into .Wav files on...

Pardon if this has been beat to death, but how much of a difference does a good DAC make? I want something to make my PC music sound better and also hook up to my bluray/cd player to improve its sound as well since it isnt the best. I was thinking of the Arcam rdac since it has rave reviews...

sounds strange but things happen and it must be in the materials used to build these. Just get rid of them and buy another speaker from a different manufacturer. Dont rack your head trying to figure it out. Get something else.

maybe I will get a few answers on this part of the forum. So now on my quest to make the music coming out of my laptop worth listening to. Yes there is a huge difference listening to music from my laptop into the Adam F5 and my CD player through the Adams. I would ultimately like a DAC which...

Hey Dave! Yes they are not as refined as the AX series true. But they will do nicely for my desktop speakers. Real nice. If the 3Ax was cheaper I would have bought those as they are perfectly fine for my aptarment right now. They do have a ribbon tweeter and while it sounds good, really is...

I know I know all the talk about the Martin Logan's I will definitely get them but not now. Priority is I get a car now. I will get them in a few months. Yes the Adams don't give goosebumps but they are really good speakers Tight nice bass, they don't sound box-like at all plus they fill...

See I kinda know what I want I'm just cheap Lol

What I am thinking now is that they are offering them here with a $500 Martin Logan subwoofer which leads me to believe they are trying to get rid of them possibly because Martin Logan is coming out with a new line Which compels me to wait for their price to radically go down

Yeah I would love to hear these in the same context but that is nearly impossible as you say as well. Great speakers but different even though they have the same type of tweeter. Fugly as well. lol but you know that does play some role as well. Well as I said I am a newbie, so I wont know...

I heard the Adam 7x Guitar center here has them Of course the demo room wasn't nearly as good as where I hear the Martin Logan's but the Adams aren't really close to the ML sound reproduction. They are good but not special No goosebumps

Yeah $700 is a good deal and I really like the sound of that amp compared to what I have been exposed to. Actually I tried the Martin Logans with ALL genres of music. Even stuff I really dont listen too much to. I brought a bunch of my CDs and overall I loved the Martin Logan sound compared to...

Ah screw British equipment. lol Just messin, Well it all comes down to what you have in front of you to listen to. Resources Just like guitars and amps. I own pretty much all I have been exposed to. Sound is so subjective so just like guitars and guitar amps I have learned to trust my ears...

The arcam was the tightest of the bunch to me. Percussive sounding Quick
