| What are the best small not bookshelf speakers? Would the little Sonus Faber Toy Monitors pass muster with your wife? They are quite small, look great, and sound fabulous! | |
| The $5000.00 Complete System Challenge IMHO, speakers "deserve" the most $. (Why do I feel I just painted a huge bull's eye on my chest?!). You have an excellent turntable and no CD Player yet, so I assume that vinyl is more important to you than CDs. Next would be an integrated with a... | |
| Best high-efficiency speaker under 10K Omega Loudspeakers are another good choice at the lower end of your price range, and they are a great value for the money. I have a pair of the Omega Super 8 Alnico XRS and they are terrific with small ensemble (jazz or classical), solo instrument... | |
| New Marantz SA11S2? Photon46 - Well said!I have three different SACD players - the Ayre C5xe-MP, the Mcintosh MCD500, and the Marantz SA11S2. And I have moved them back and forth amongst my three systems just to hear the differences. And the differences are not alway... | |
| Monitor speaker that will stop the Quest? I previously stated that the Sonus Faber Guarneri Mementos would stop the quest for me. That impression/opinion was based on several auditioning sessions at the home of my dealer. Now that I have owned these superbly musical marvels for about a mo... | |
| Please...Advice For The Speakerly Challenged Another vote for the Alon Mk V. I owned the IV's for several years and loved them. Back then, bass response was more important than it is now and that is the only reason I chose the IV's over the V's. If I were making the choice today between the ... | |
| What percentage of audiophiles use a sub ? Thomastrouble - And unfortunately for me and my $, I have the perfect spot in the Memento system room for a Stentor . . . I wonder if I could sell my wife on the idea of a $6K end table for the Den?! ;->Seriously though, when I made my speaker ... | |
| What percentage of audiophiles use a sub ? Although I have successfully integrated the Rel B-2 to Verity Fidelio Encore's (floor-standing 3-way) and Sonus Faber Auditor M's (2-way monitor), in my experience, subs integrate best with monitors. The best example I ever heard was the combinati... | |
| Turntable Upgrade Suggestions I second the Well Tempered Amadeus. You get a great TT and tonearm that IMHO competes very well with and in some ways betters my Basis Signature 2500/Vector 4 tonearm combo. | |
| anyone else experience this problem? I have the same "problem" with my Linn LP12. I was told that even though the speed is dead on, the belt is approaching the end of its useful life. Until I replace the belt, I have been doing what Elizabeth suggested above. In doing so, the noise i... | |
| What MC for $1,000-$2,000? For my system with my Verity Fidelio Encores, my Well Tempered Amadeus is fitted with a Dynavector xx2, and the result is excellent. If I recall correctly that cartridge sells for ~ $1850. | |
| 2k$ speakers that meet my criteria? You might want to consider the "10/10" pair of Sonus Faber Concerto Domus currently for sale on the Gon. I have heard a pair of these and believe they nicely fit your criteria. They are a very good deal at the seller's asking price. And no, I am n... | |
| Upgrade cdp The Jolida JD-100 is a nice CDP. You can pursue various upgrade paths and/or engage in tube rolling to see if you can make it even better for your needs. It is certainly not the absolute statement in resolution, even with the level one upgrade, bu... | |
| cartridge to use with linn & shindo Second the EMT/SUT combo with Shindo preamps. It is a superb pairing with my Shindo Masseto. I have the EMT on my Ayre-DPS TT and could not be more pleased! | |
| Sonus Faber Momento V/S Verity Leonore I have listened to both speakers, the Memento's more than the Leonore's. As you probably know, they use the exact same midrange, only that driver is called on to do more in the two-way Memento. For the music you listen to, I would definitely prefe... |
