| Cube Audio or Charney Do people still own and love their Charmey speakers? I live about 50 minutes away. | |
| Seeking advice on Speakers that create an intimate 2 channel listening experience Some OP nostalgia....Around 1991 after I graduated college, I bought my first pair of speakers at the Listening Room in Scarsdale NY. There I auditioned, eyes closed, 4 sets of speakers all in the same price range -- Thiel, Mirage, Snell and Def T... | |

| Seeking advice on Speakers that create an intimate 2 channel listening experience If anyone is keeping score, it just goes to show how silly but profound my post was.

| Seeking advice on Speakers that create an intimate 2 channel listening experience @iopscrlC’mon dude. Pick the speakers first, then match the amp. Golden rule.

| Seeking advice on Speakers that create an intimate 2 channel listening experience @flatblackroundAs I’ve been given over 40 speaker choices claiming to all be "the be all end all", Hijack away!

| Seeking advice on Speakers that create an intimate 2 channel listening experience @tomavodka Magnepan is now the lead vote-getter. Unfortunately, I don’t think I have the proper room set up for them. Speakers are limited to about 2-3 feet from the back wall at most and most of that back wall consists of HUGE 15 foot windows. I ... | |
| Seeking advice on Speakers that create an intimate 2 channel listening experience @avanti1960 Hi thx. So I originally started out with an amp in mind and posted such and got slammed and was told to pick the best speakers for your budget and room, and that the amp, less of a contribution to overall sound, would limit speaker cho... | |
