After reading all the praise for the McIntosh MC275 I have put it into my CLS (1st version with new panels) system replacing my Krell KSA-250 and using the Krell KBL as my preamp. The McIntosh I purchased is the series IV and I am running MIT cables now but with a poor setup to the speaker...

Here is another device that will accept the HDMI signal and separate the digital signal http://www2.dvigear.com/cohdtodvidia.html I ended up purchasing a Oppo 970HD to try since it was only 119.00 ( and I could use it to replace an older DVD player in the bedroom if the audio part didn't work...

My previous post showed a link to a Gefen HDMI to toslink converter which I am thinking about trying, but it seems like the difference between SACD and RBCD is more on the recording and the CD transport/DAC then on the actual difference in media.

I actually have what I think is a great cd player, a Krell KPS 20i, I was just wondering if the SACD media being "so much better than RBCD" could sound better using the Oppo as a transport and sending the digital signal into the Krell DAC.

Would this external HDMI to DVI and Toslink Audio work to send a signal to Krell KPS 20i DAC? http://www.gefen.com/kvm/product.jsp?prod_id=3939

A hybrid SACD disc contains both the RBCD info as well as the SACD info. You can choose which you would like to play. I was interested in the sound difference between the RBCD going through your external DAC and if the SACD would sound better playing through the internal DAC of the OPPO...

As I understand it, the OPPO and most players will not pass a spdif signal(when playing SACD) through optical or coax because of copyright protection. I was planning on sending the digital out from the OPPO to my Krell KPS-20i, but it won't work except on some DVD-A that do not have copy...

Those with multiple formad cd/dvd players how much of a difference does the SACD/DVD-A format make in comparison to CD. I am tempted to try the OPPO 970hd. It has received mixed reviews from raves (Stereophile) to so so from private owners.

I had an extended listening session the other day with my cousin, both of us now mid age and we commented on the natural rounding off of high frequencies as one gets older. "almost tubelike" ;) We have to enjoy it now before it becomes muted. I wonder what the sweet age spot is:D

Thanks for the reply, what is your opinion of the high output Micro Benz glider cartridge?

Anyone have any listening experiences with these 2 MC cartridges. I am looking to replace my old Blue Point with either the III or the blackbird. I have a Linn Sondek LP12 turntable and at this moment can't remember my tonearm. :(

Wow, a few Krell users. I thought I was the only one and had my head down mumbling whenever I mentioned I used all Krell equipment. (KBL, KSA-250, KP20i) I am very please with the sound it is giving me with my CLS's. I also am using a Linn Sondek turntable, Nak Dragon, and a Sony PRO DAT deck...

I was informed that i can get CLS MKII or CLSZ panels ..., the price is the same, i was recomended only to "upgrade" for CLSZ panels if i intended to use subwoofer(s) since they have less output in the low freq. ..., so i will get me a new pair of MKII's just like mosttoysrk:) You will love...

I am now 2 weeks into the ownership of my "new" CLS speakers and listening to everything possible with them. I am amazed at the soundstage, depth and clarity they bring to a good recording. I started listening to some of my old classical vinyl on my Linn Sondek LP12 and tried recording to my...

Sorry, I am not being clear, Yes the seller replaced the panels prior to me picking them up. When I picked them up the old panels he removed were leaning against the wall (this is the same person who was selling the old CLS panels for $35.00 on craigslist)

"CLS 1 panels have only horizontal spars, not vertical ones" I have always thought the same about the CLS1, but I saw the old panels when I purchased these speakers and they looked just like the ones I have in it now. Weird....

Roberto, My serials are CLS 3880 3881 on the electronics and the panels are CLS SE 846 and 847. From what I read here I also thought only CLS II panels were available. Is there a difference on how the two panels sound? After reading a few reviews was there an upgrade in the electronics around...

They sound great, of course I have nothing to compare them to as I just purchased these speakers last week with the new panels installed so I have no reference. I sold my original Quest speakers and just love these. I am powering them with a Krell KSA-250 and KBL preamp. You can just see a...

Here is a picture of my panels, measured on each side about 4" even one side is not larger than the other.

I am enjoying my new "old" CLS speakers with the new panels I noticed the bass sections on the new panels are equal. So there is no right and left specific panel like the previous panels?
