Which integrated amp for Talon Khorus?
Is the Khorus broken in? All the feedback I have heard is that the Khorus takes a very, very long time to burn in. I have heard that many owners who were unhappy with the Khorus sold them a short time after buying them not knowing how long they re... 
Red Rose R3s vs. Proac 1sc vs. Dynaudio 1.3SE
This may not be fair because I'm selling a pair of R3's now, but here are some brief viewpoints on monitors that I've owned:Tyler Reference Monitors: Since they can often be acquired on audiogon for around $1100, they represent the best buy for th... 
Recommend good satellite speakers?
I second Gtrush1's recommendation. I use the hd600 and grado rs-1 headphone amp. With a good digital or analog source, the sound is reference quality with excellent bass and you can play at head banging spl if you are so inclined. The only caveat ... 
Tyler Linbrook Monitor
Scottagee is absolutely right about Ty. He is very passionate about his trade and absolutely loves what he is doing - and it shows in his work. He is also one of the nicest guys you could ever hope to work with. One problem though, I don't think h... 
BW Nautilus 802, blow away Nautilus 803
Blackie, I'm afraid you are wasting your time trying to have an intellegent discussion with Doug99. My guess is that Doug99 is a rather young, enthusiastic, but ignorant audiophile with much to learn.Here's another example of his illogical argumen... 
Tyler Linbrook Monitor
IMHO, the Tyler Reference Monitor easily outshines the Siloloquy. I haven't tried the Linbrook yet, but it's supposed to be a good step up from the Ref Monitor. But one factor to consider is the amplification. The Siloloquy is supposed to work rea... 
Speakers for small room,near field
Hey Stereomaniac,You mention your listening distance, but it also matters along which wall the speakers are placed and how far from the wall they can be placed. Your listening distance is definitely near field, so large woofers (over 6 1/2")genera... 
Great Percussion Recordings
BLUE MAN GROUP, but lookout... recording has huge dynamic range, and this recording challenges the limits of components more than any other recording I've heard. I'm willing to bet that it would make even the big Krell's with big daddy speakers so... 
Please Help Solid State Amps ?
I heard the BEL recently, and was extremely impressed. It is definitely on my short list of future auditions.I currently own the GamuT D200. It is sensational! 
Any criticisms of Odyssey Stratos
Great product. With the Symphonic Cap upgrade ($90), it compared well to the ARC VT100 mkII. When doubled to monoblock version, it moved up to a whole new level of transparancy and refinement. You'll have to figure some other way to spend the extr... 
Why so many Plinius for sale lately
Great replies, so far. I was wondering if there was maybe some sort of buzz out there that has prompted ownsers to start dumping their Plinius, like when word got out that Threshold was going down. It appears there is nothing concrete. 
B W 802N versus 801M
If you want better resolution, cleaner highs, better bass, you must upgrade your front end before you worry about the speakers. 
Magnepan vs Quad
I own the 3.6, and have listened extensively to the 63's. Both are great. The quads are very easy to listen to and are very engaging, but you do lack dynamics and I think they need a big room. They are also rolled off in the highs. The best I hear... 
Vandersteen 3A vs. ProAc3.8
For what it's worth I'm a former 3.8 owner, Super Eclipse owner, VSM-SE owner, Dunlavy SCIVa owner, Tyler Ref Monitor owner, and have listened at length to the Response 2.5's and Vandersteen Model 5's. The Coincidents were musical and sweet, but l... 
WOW, check out these Stereo Systems.
Is this a hoax, or some devious plot to catch a virus? I was dumb enough to try it and this is what I get: 'The page cannot be displayed'
