| Stacking components? Onhwy61,Thanks for your experienced input. I'm eventually going to buy a dedicated audio rack but for now I'm on a tight budget. An expensive audio rack is something that will have to wait for now. I realize how important things like room acoustic... | |
| Stacking components? Thanks for the replies everyone,The rack is actually pretty solid. Each shelf holds about 300lbs. I'm not worried about the integrity just any vibrations, etc. that may effect my sound. I bought an extra shelf as well so I will have a total of fou... | |
| POLK SDA series I've had a pair of SDA CRS+'s since about 1985-86. They are some very well made, damn nice sounding bookshelf speakers. I have the stands that came with them as well and while they sound great on shelves, when on the stands they sound best. I also... | |
| Von Schweikert VR 1's or Totem Model 1 Signatures? Thank you very much for your reply,Which of these two do you think will work better in a small room/near field type setup? Will the Jolida have enough(100w) to play the Totems at their best? Just curious, I know it's a different league, but how do... | |
| Room treatment questions. Thanks for the replies guys,Those are some great suggestions that will give me a good idea of where to start. Very nice system BTW Islandflyfisher. I can only dream right now about having a system like yours.Thanks again. | |
| Totem Model 1 Signature amp question. Rbstehno,Thanks very much for your reply. Unfortunately, I do not have a Totem dealer close (nearest is about 8 hours away). I do have a Von Schweikert dealer locally so I'll be going out on a limb from the reviews with the Totems. That's why I'm ... | |
| Totem Model 1 Signature amp question. Thanks for your reply,My setup is going in my den(about 18'X18') and I want the best $1Kish or less monitor for that setup. Totem Model 1's or Mani 2's are currently on my 'most wanted' monitor list although I'm sure the Mani 2's definitely won't ... | |
| Tube rookie needs integrated advice. Thanks again for the replies everyone,I think I've made up my mind to go with a Jolida 1501RC(or non RC). It seems like a lot of amp for the $$ and it's hybrid design will most likely fit my listening tastes best. I found a very good deal on a Son... | |
| Tube rookie needs integrated advice. The Audiomat Arpege sounds like a great amp from the reviews but it most likely is going to be very hard to find used in my price range. Maybe it will be my next upgrade. What about the Jolida 302A? I actually like the older black look better. Is ... | |
| Tube rookie needs integrated advice. Thanks for your input,I see that the Jolida 302b has some very good reviews. Will it match well with my smallish room and Sony DVP-S7700? I plan on upgrading the Sony later either via a new DAC or different player. Also, how does the Jolida compar... | |
| Which integrated amp for Von Schweikert VR 1's? Thanks for your input. I was worried that the VR 1's might need a lot of power to get the best out of them. Does anyone else have any input? Will a Rotel RA-02 or Arcam A65 match well with the VR 1's?Scott | |
| Legacy Studios? Thanks again for the replies everyone,I appreciate the experienced input on my decision.Scott | |
| Speaker suggestions. Prpixel,I've found that there is a big difference between the various Monsoon models in terms of sound quality. The older flagship MM1000's sound the best IMO but yes there is room for improvement in the lower mid range area. I believe the crossov... | |
| Speaker suggestions. Thanks for the replies,Prpixel, which Monsoons did you hear? Yes, the Swans are rather large but I intend on going with a similarly sized bookshelf(Von Schweikert VR 1 probably) and integrated amp eventually once I can invest enough. I planned on ... | |
| Legacy Studios? Thanks Lak,Yes, I'm keeping my eyes open for a used pair. How is the bass with these speakers? Imaging, soundstage, etc.? |
