| Quad 989s--personal experience and opinions? I own a pair. They have astonishing clarity. You seem to know that they don't play loud, but people have different ideas of what is loud for them - I'll leave you to judge.My room is 20x14x8 with a large coupled room which makes it about the size ... | |
| Experience with ATC 20A-2 Active speakers? In the room with me right now I have a pair of: active 50's; active 10's and active 20's. I also have the SCA2 and CA2. I am not related to Lazarus28 :-) I do not consider myself an ATC nut, I own other equipment and speakers too :-) Including a P... | |
| Wilson WP 7, ATC SCM150ASL, or Meadowlark BH-2 WARNING AN ATC USER RESPONDS :)I've heard Wilson WP's in a very expensive Levinson setup (390S, preamp, monoblocks) and it sounded very nice.. but it was four times as expensive as the active 50's I have... maybe it was the room, maybe it was the ... | |

| ML 390s vs 39 Upgrade? My understanding is that as far as sound goes, an upgraded 39 should equal a new 390S - the difference is simply cosmetic: you don't get a new faceplate unless you pay up another (outrageous) $1500 if I recall correctly. The people looking for a "... | |
| Active Speakers If you are prepared to step out of the hifi industry, then there are plenty of active (and "powered") monitors available in the pro audio world - genelec etc..The brand that most successfully stradles the pro/consumer base in the active market is ... | |
| What Is the best pair of speakers under 3k?? Revel M20's would be my choice, though many like the B&W N805.. Go hear both of them, well worth the effort. | |
| CD player Vs Pre-amp You might want to look at the Benchmarkmedia DAC1 -http://www.benchmarkmedia.com/ - it's a very nice unit - the only thing it lacks is a remote control (which mean't I *had* to upgrade to a Levinson 390S :-)]Andrew |
