Hello to all! Let me 1st introduce myself - my name is Sean & I am from Canada. I am joining this forum as I own almost all British gear and find it hard to get good info in North America about the equipment I am interested in. So there.
I have been looking at the Audiolab 8200CD for a while - I do not have a chance to hear one in person, so my question to any owners is: How is the bass response? I am looking for a player with deep and tuneful bass - I have no time for lean sounding players.
Hi Sean
Fwiw, I've put the 8200CD through its paces by listening to the player through ATC's SCA2 Reference pre amplifier and SCM100ASL Professional monitors. I certainly found the 8200CD's bass to be deep, potent, tight, tuneful and with drive
Anyway just to get a clearer picture of your existing components, room and any other requirements -
What source component/s, amplification and speakers are you currently using?
How would you describe the performance of your existing component/s and the system as a whole?
What do you and anyone else who is also likely to use the system listen to?
The size of your room?
Is the room lightly or heavily furnished?
Your listening distance?
Your general listening level?
What attracted you to the 8200CD?
Will also be using the 8200CD as a DAC? If so, what other source/s will you connect to the 8200CD?
The interconnect/s and speaker cables you'll be using are?
Your overall budget?
Apart from LF performance what kind of presentation are you looking for the system as a whole to reproduce?
All the best
