Imagine this...Here in Norway, all Bose products cost 50 % more than over in the US. It's insane!

Hei guys! I'm just wondering if anyone have testet McIntosh MC275R(versjon IV w/o volummeter) with RF83? Ordering the RF83's in a couple of days. Think this is going to match well, but nice to hear someone who tried it first.

Long time no see fellow klipschers. Just wanted to write an update. I bought the RT-10D, and i am very happy with it. I also upgraded to a very cool Onkyo CD-player. I also got my hands on Kimber Cable Monocle-X speakercables, and My Theatre damping mats. I am very happy with my set now, though i understand my room is a bit to small, and that concrete wall isent helping. So how is people doing? Everybody ok? That swine flu is not good... Let's hope it dosent spread uncontrollable, though i don't think that will happen at all... How is the financial crisis threating everybody?

My thoughts are with you, Oldbuckster...

Here's my gear:

I am borrowing an RT-10D now. Have placed it behind the left speaker. And i gotta say........ Wow! I have only played it an hour, and i am really amazed. It is like this is what i felt was lacking... It's really freaky. Can someone back me up here? Is it madness to have a sub with cornwalls? In my "defence" i can't play at full volume because i don't live alone in this house. So this really did the trick for me. Come on guys, i need some feedback.[]

Congrats! Enjoy the sweet music flowing out of theese beauty's!

@ edwinr: My mac is the 2008 versjon without the pot-meters. If it was the older one, i could have done that, but i bought this 3 months ago. @ Bryan1342: I mainly listen to original CDs. When i complain on this forum, it's never of an mp3 song. And if i burn a nice cd, i try to get the FLAC version. But as i wrote before, i have hooked up an iTube dock, and good mp3's sound ok! But only some, not all... Alot of crappy mp3s out there! But thanks for the tip.

I have nothing agains british equipment, quite the contrary. But i have had some bad experience with some british and klipsch. I think some of the english gear is so correct, it's almost boring. But hey, i havent tried much english, so maby i am wrong. The new P3 with piano gloss, contains the TT-PSU. But this version of P3 is more expensive, of course. Got the price list today. Maby x-mas is coming early this year!

Yeah, many hidden "pearls" around. And talking about sucky records... The new Metallica album is a disgrase. Not only to the band and genre, but to music! It's horrible! Right now i'm listening to John Mayer "Gravity". Not a trace of metal, but that album sounds like a million dollars through the cornwalls! Everyone should spin this album in their players.

As i mention in my last post, i have been sniffin on vinyl. Have anyone any experience with this player on klipsch? It's english, so i'm a little skeptic, but only see nice review's on this piece. And now you can get it in delicious piano gloss. Rega P3

Waiting for my cornwall cushions and my wallplates. Think they will change my sound quite a bit. Yeah, there are many crappy recordings... Thats just a fact we all got to live with. But there are some exeptions, like some Buckethead, Dream Theater, Megadeth, Symphony X, Porcupine Tree recordings. I hooked a iTube iPod dock onto my pre. And i got to say.... It's a long time since i have had so much fun listening to music. It's not that high-end sound, but some songs are really nice throught the iTube docking! Ahh... I wish i smoked cigares and drank wine.... I am considering of buying the Rega P3 24v. Think this is a nice piece?

I totaly agree on "GIGO", but it's so bad sometimes, that when i turn it up a notch, it hurts my ears, because of the "harshness". I Talked to a soundtechnician, and he said that he is positive that my problem is the acoustics of my "room". So now i have ordred 2 absorbing acoustic plates to hang on the wall where the sound "bounces", and 8 "pillows" to have under my CW's. Really looking foreward to trying this things. @ Mallette: Hehe, well, what i meant was that i usaly listen to rock/hard rock/heavy metal/death metal 70-80 % of the time, but also other things.

@ Bluesboy: I don't have the volume controlls... But thanks for the idea. @ GotHover: I think it's a bit of both. The gear and the room. @ speakerfritz: Thanks for the drawing. I'm problably stupid, but when you write "higher tap", do you mean an higher impedance? Like instead of the 8 ohm i got now, i go to 16? Or 4 for lowe? I took the liberty to draw my living room in paint. Pretty impressed by my drawing skills. I think maby some of the probleme is this. I don't have a carpet on the floor in front of the speakers. The McIntosh importer said that would be a nice idea, to lay 2 thick hairy carpets there, to absorb some of the sound.

I can't sleep, i can't eat. Theese cornwall III's are killing me! I can't seem to get the sound right! I got my new McIntosh MC275, a Parasound 2100 pre-amp and a Roksan cd/dvd as a cd player. My problem isnt easy to explain, but i'll give it a go: I usaly listen to rock/hard rock/heavy metal/death metal, but also everything else, like pop, dance, classical and so on. Some tracks on some cd's sound amazing. Like Porcupine Tree's "Deadwing" is good. But my main problem is that i feel like i "lack" some frequencies! It's like this: I turn the volume up, and the high's are louder than the mid's. I lack some dynamic's and some midbass. The vocal's are amazing though, and can give me chills. The question is this: Is this because of my pre-amp? Some say that the "music" comes from the pre-amp. And my pre is an ok amp, but its far cheaper than my mac ofcourse. I have considerd 3 options: 1. Buy the McIntosh MCD301 and hook it up to my mc-275 and use the pre in the cd. Then buy the C2200 when i rob another bank. 2. Buy the McIntosh C2200, and hook my english Roksan cd/dvd to it. Then buy the MCD301 when i rob another bank. 3. Change to solid state McIntosh! Please help me... I'm going insane!
