| Speakers in 10-15K price range for Classical music Layman:I have found the Devore Fidelity Silverbacks and the Verity Fidelio Encores to be excellent at their respective price points for classical music. I feel the Silverbacks are actually a little better than the FEs for large scale orchestral wo... | |
| Speakers in 10-15K price range for Classical music I second the Vandersteen Wood Quattros. Moving up in price to the top of your price range (actually just a bit above) would be the Devore Fidelity Silverbacks and the Verity Leonores. The latter are quite new and I have not heard them yet, but hav... | |
| Beautiful Monitors? Both my and I wife think the SF Auditor M's in the graphite finish are beautiful. Some of the older SF monitor models were done in an exquisite walnut.I also like Devore Fidelity speakers - they look as great as they sound. DF recently started usi... | |
| Looking for a new turntable and cart 2-3K Don Better Audio in Cleveland, Ohio carries many TT lines - Well-Tempered, Rega, Nottingham, Ayre DPS, Spiral Groove, SME, and Shindo Garrard. | |
| wich speaker go wich mark levinson 331 thank you In the past I have used Aerial, Alon, and Dahlquist with Levinson amps (331 & others) with great success. | |
| Looking for a new turntable and cart 2-3K A new Well-Tempered Amadeus goes for about $2750 and completely outperforms a Rega P9 IMHO. So if you are willing to stretch your budget just a little you could get the Amadeus and Dynavector's entry level MC cartridge (~$450) and wind up with an ... | |
| digital front end to rival best vinyl? The best digital front end I have heard is the new Naim HDX. I felt it even outperformed the dCs Scarlatti by a significant margin. It is still not as good as a good vinyl front end (what is?) but it is awfully close. I plan to get one once the 2n... | |
| Looking for a good subwoofer I second the REL B-2, possibly even the REL B-1 given your room size. | |
| Turntable in 20 K$ price range - Design & Music I like the SG TTs very much but they are out of my price range. I was pleasantly surprised that the Ayre DPS set-up for which I paid $13.5K was nearly as good to my ears as the nearly twice as expensive SG set-up I also auditioned. And I believe t... | |
| SS Amps that are NOT warm and euphonic ? Some of the Bryston models meet all of your criteria. | |
| Need preamp recommendation I also recommend the Shindo Aurieges L. It is a superbly musical preamp that is a bargain at $3K new. I use it in my secondary system. It is a dead quiet preamp. Just a great preamp for its price point, provided you do not need remote control for ... | |
| In search of the right SS integrated amp Suggest you also consider the Luxman integrateds, especially their top of line model L-590A2. | |
| CD Player Under $1.5k With Vinyl Sound For $1500, two good but distinctly different choices are a used Rega Saturn or a new Jolida JD100A with level one mods. I have both of these, the Rega in the HT and the Jolida in my secondary system. Both are excellent. Two minor negatives re thei... | |
| Classic McIntosh tube amp or new other brand IMHO there is probably good value to be had at almost any price point. When I started looking for an amp for my primary system, Luxman was one of my preferences; I really like their SS class A amps but they don't work budget-wise. So I listened to... | |
| Vinyl Front End Upgrade ARC PH7 used or Nagra BPS new. The latter is cheaper and might surprise you! |
