| I need help putting together a budget system Apogee minidac with firewire card (around 1000 usd) and a pair of active speakers.

According to my friend small. I heard a bit more, and I thought the difference is enough me to keep the ML. Still, the ... | |
| Pathos logos or classic I have looked at your system. I think, your speakers are simply not suit for the kind of music you like. Pathos wont help you, or even would make things even worse. I would go for a vintage JBL with 10 woofers. Like this:http://www.audiogon.com/cg... | |
| Best speaker under $1K...... used market Look for an old goodmans or electrovoice speakers on the ebay. Look for one with 10" woofer. They are fantastic speakers, and they put a shame on so many modern design. But they are ugly. | |

| Efficient speaker, big bad tight bass? For rock, I would not hesitate to get JBL. But look for amodel with as big woofers as possible. 10" woofer is good to have to feel the music. | |
| Reclaim sound from the past? I would not hesitate to sell everything and buy again on the Audiogon these old things. Witts are fine speakers and maybe they had a good synergy with cjs. I could imagine that they corrected each others shortcomings well to get a good balanced so... | |
