Which pair of speakers changed your Hifi life?
Celestion SL600..... They did not go overly loud, and had little to no bottom end, but they put the music and the mix directly into the room for me.  Never lost the magic for me and I have been trying to get back to something like them with some b... 
Tekton Design Lore
So this will be a short version as I have had the speakers for about a week but feel that since they were broken in and I sleep with them on, I have enough data points to start to form a point of view.First let me say my use case is not what I wou... 
Talon khorus vs. Nola Viper iia
Well as a long term Talon owner I can say the following. The original khorus is somewhat flawed in that it needs a good room, well damped and setup to sound good... not great but at least good. With some work via room correction you can get what I... 
Top Ten Speakers of All Time?
Best image celestion sl 600. Best bang for the buck maggy 1.6. Best ever for me atc 100's. Active. There are a bunch I have or do own but those would be the top 3 for me 
Diffraction be gone
I am using the active 20's about 3 feet from the back wall and due to the room shape size and power outlets along the long wall which opens on the right hand side to the kitchen, and yes as luck would have it a bay window on the left :) This has a... 
ATC active speakers, owners please give input
Had a pair of the 20-2's for about 6 months now. No problems that I can note. Not the most friendly of speakers to power off and on, as I get a bit of line noise as the amps power down. I leave them on all the time so its nothing I would worry abo... 
Hope this helps someone with RFI problems
Have a similar problem but it does not appear to be coming from the AC mains. Long and short, tube based phono pre is the problem. If one holds the wires up and about I can actually tune a fine selection of channels through the speakers, and I mea... 
How do I decide on a CD player or adding a dac?
I would strongly suggest you look at the older Monarchy stuff. I have a 22a, and could not be happier. The unit is looped in to my pre via balaned outs, and I can do quick and easy A/B to a standard Denon 2900 universal. There is no comparison bet... 
Reimer v. Revel subwoofer
I have a B-15 I use for 2 chan. and it took about 6 months to set it up. The problem I had was with placement being limited by the room. In addtition I have come to find that I have a very very large suck out between 20-30hrz as well as 50-70hrz. ... 
Merlin speakers a new start for me
Thanks for all the information. I do plan to hear a pair of the Merlins first. There is a dealer although he is about an hour and a half from the house.Music tends to range from jazz, to late 60's rock. Female voice and some new age stuff, such as...
