Would new speakers----
New speakers would make me more happy than a new girlfriend. Speakers sound better, cost less, don't put on weight, don't tell me I need to change....wait, what was the original post? 
Subwoofer for Beginner
I had an svs sb12-plus, which got replaced with the sb12nsd. I really liked my svs sub. The build quality was fantastic and I liked the fact that the older svs12-plus had balanced inputs and outputs.Ok, ymmv of course but what I learned from my wh... 
Which $500 Speaker Next?
Lol @ Dayglo; I suppose you are right my friend. Funny how we americans want it all and really don't want to pay for it (I'm in sales).Anywho, I am a bit scared to get a used pair of maggies after reading about repair costs etc. so I'll look at th... 
Which $500 Speaker Next?
Thanks everyone!2nd time in two days that I wrote a long response only to have it get deleted....So, I've been interested in maggies and kind of forgot about those so I'll check them out. I see them come up here locally for sale so I'll check c-Li... 
Which $500 Speaker Next?
I don't know, those swan d1.1 and d2.2 look beautiful, get great reviews, are cheap, look to be built well with good parts...Those warfdales look nice also, and I also like those full range speakers that don't use crossovers...i'll def conside tho... 
Which $500 Speaker Next?
Thanks T!Thats a speaker I haven't looked at yet but will do!Two more speakers I forgot to add is the quad 12l2 and possibly the clue.And again, I would like some good looking speakers with high quality drivers, crossovers and nice solid cabinents... 
You know you're an audiophile if--
You've done loads of research and footwork in order to make sure your ears are as clean as possible so that you're not missing any detail in your rig.You take notes on how two different speaker cables sound because you don't trust your audio memor... 
O.C.D. Speaker placement
Bravo Lacee!! No disrespect, but are you female or male. You hit the nail straight on the head.It's funny that this thread hasn't died off yet and, being the o.p., my view on this question has changed quite a bit since I posted this question.I bel... 
New rack or power conditioner
I would think a power conditioner wouldmake more of a difference. Maybe a used ps audio power plant premier for around $1,000 and some power cords? 
Why does an audiophile grade power cord matter?
I bit the bullet and bought an ac9 for my quintet, another ac9 for my amp, an ac14se for my dac and another ac14se for my wadia170 welborne labs power supply. They made a big difference in sound. More bass right from the start. They do take a whil... 
Best value in speaker cables??
Check out clear day double shotguns. Paul will demo you a pair; awesome awesome guy!I ended up going with signal cable silver resolution because in my system, they had better bass response and cost half as much. The clear days did sound more flesh... 
Lots of detail, great imaging, not much bass?
Thanks Larry! I agree with what you said and maybe I should revisit the maggie idea as Elizabeth had another good point about them not putting out the kind of bass that really travels through walls so much.I guess I could also check into a pair of... 
Lots of detail, great imaging, not much bass?
Yeah, I' gotten more recomendations for silverline minuets than any others. Guess I should pull the trigger on pair... 
Lots of detail, great imaging, not much bass?
Thanks for the help guys!I'm a little confused about whether I am confused, or you guys are confused. My amp has a sensitivity rating of 1.15v and my speakers are in the 90db sensitivity range; I really like the way my system sounds.What I'm looki... 
Lots of detail, great imaging, not much bass?
So what you're telling me is that if I had more gain I'd get more detail, better imaging and less bass? Because that's what I'm after. And do you know how much gain I have in my system? Should I just replace my lightspeed attenuator, one of my fav...
