Piglet: How about some single driver speakers for the BR? I am researching these for our living room, but a smaller room might be more appropriate. They will have recessed high and low frequencies, but otherwise should get to the heart of the music. I also am looking for something new (though the design is very old) and different. You know the forums @ which to check these out, I am certain. With a little DIY you might come up with a Killer setup. Single drivers/speakers (such as inexpensive Fostex versions) along with the right cabinet choice could be powered with a budget single ended tube amp (yet another adventure to follow your recent push/pull tube family member). Try a search of "Voigt Pipes" for an attractive and easy to build speaker with a small footprint. Also, remember the 50's Piglet/stuffy photo a while back? Well, we finally acquired the matching Pooh (I will shoot a group photo in the future -w- the most recent TT:-).
entry planar setup
Considering switching the bedroom system to planar, just to do something different.
What's the best way for ~$1000 to try planrs?
I see Maggies MMG's for $550 new, is it possible to get a decent integrated that can drive these for $500 or so, volume level not critical. How sensitive ar these speakers to room placement?
Would also consider an amp, since I may have an extra pre-amp kicking around depening on next system change.
