Hi Jeff, sad story... they are trying to solve "internal" problems... check this Nikos

Hi Kosta, don't be afraid to ask here your questions, this is a very friendly and knowledgeable forum... I would like to pinpoint that in order to get the best from your Vista you will have to take them 1.5meters (5foot) from the front wall. Or you will have to treat the wall in order to absorb...

different power cables for Purity have less impact in sound than changing the distance from the front wall 1or2 inches... think about it. if you don't believe me try it. then think again about the power cables for purity...

bluejeanscable I have purity and bjc, I have tried a few others, don't spend your money.... Nikos

Purity are better than Source with a cheap amp because of the high quality Ice power modules. Try Bluejenascable (Belden) for low cost good cables. After a couple of happy years use Puritys as rear surrounds and Summit or Spire for L/R front in a dream surround system.

ok, what's the minimum distance (panel to the wall) from the front wall that will give me adequate soundstage using mid and high freq absorbers?

thank you again Jo. I think that list has to be a "sticky"... something like "small room treatments" at the top of this part of the forum... so you think too that I can "squize" my puritys in that room. I will try and then I will make a new thread, Vista in a small room.... (I am saving money...)

thanks Ethan. I will try and I will post here again...

I have the opportunity to use a small room 12x9' as a dedicated av room. Can I use my ML puritys in such a small room? I prefere my panels at least 3' from the front wall and I don't like hi freq absorbers behind the panels (the soundstage is getting smaller). I will use absorbers (maybe...

for some people the dared is a great bargain. I have change the tubes with helectroharmonix (cheap ones..) and I am very happy with it. It has a very sweet sound, matches great with Puritys integrated D class amps. A friend of mine drives Summit with class D amps and he likes the dared in his...

By the way I have a dared mc7p valve preamp. It's a great preamp (read 6moons review) but I think it's hard to find it available in US.

where can I find the review? I agree 100% Nikos

kelvin hi, I am using a tube preamp and a passive one with transformers (similar to Promitheus but a lot more expensive). I am happy with the tube preamp in vocals and small jazz groups but for alternative rock I prefer the passive preamp. It has a bigger soundstage, more focus, and more...

ok here is something very important for my decision. with 2 speakers, the best sound is coming when the speaker are 5 feet from the front wall. the soundstage is behind the speakers.If I go to 5.1 I have to place the speaker closer to the wall and use HF absorbers. the effects of the rear...

your description sounds ideal but I think it is only in good SACD and not in 5.1 dvd concerts.

thank you all, your description of 5.1 sound was very helpfull. I read that you need 5 good speakers for best results in music. the cost is out of my plans for now, but I am thinking to buy Vista/Vantage and use Purity for rear. with a good sub I am close to a real good ML 5.1! thanks again for...

I have some video dvd's with 5.1 souround sound but I don't have a 5.1 system. (for example I have the 9nth symphony of Beethoven (Karajan) in CD and video dvd.) Could someone describe the difference in music between a stereo and a 5.1 system? is it worth the extra money for a 5.1 system for...

Hi, are you from Cyprus? then have a look at the best summit thread on the net.... link (it's in Greek...)

exactly. purity and source have the same panel. you must be able to live with a small sweet spot. if you can not, they are not for you.

it's excellent for what you want to do. it will reduce the jitter coming from airport express and you will have bigger soundstage and more space between the instruments. you can use it with hi res (24/96) as well, but only from optical/spdif port (not usb, usb is 16/44.1) and only from a...
