| Need small speaker for less than $750. Ideas? They merge Seamlessly with the REL Storm III which along with adding great pure bass also makes the S 3/5's even more pure, tactile, visceral, and even holographic then they already are without the REL in the system. On of the bests sounds I have ... | |
| Need small speaker for less than $750. Ideas? SPENDOR S 3/5'S!!! I have owned a beautiful pair of Lt Cherry S 3/5's for about 8 yrs and am endlessly amazed at what they can do. As Steveaudio said above, your description of what you want is almost a dead on review of the Spendor 3/5's. I also ... | |
| Last night at Chapman Audio Systems Mjfvashon,I have a pair of recently purchased older T-7's which have been undergoing a complete overhaul and the "new upgrade" by Stuart. They are now completed and will be on their way back to me in a few days. From the word of those who have hea... | |
| High Efficiency Monitors - List If you can find a pair, the Soliloquy SM 2A3's (probably about $600-$800 with their dedicated stands for the preferred pre 2000 versions) mate extremely well with low powered SET's. They are two way 11 ohm with simple single component crossovers d... | |
| Please recommend CD player w/volume under $5500 Chris aka CMO reflects my experience also. I have an Audio Aero Capitole 24/192 MK II with volume control (passive preamp) and it always sounds better through a preamp regardless of which of my systms I use it in. | |
| Chapman Audio Systems T-77 speakers Doug,I am ecstatic for you. My T-7's should ship back to me from Chapmans this week. According to Stuart, the refurbishing he completed on them, which included brand new original propietary woofer replacements and the scanspeak middriver replaceme... | |
| Cayin A88 sells in one day I second Narrod and Drubin's comments with a resounding DITTO. If I didn't know better (which I don't) I would sure wonder what is the connection between bartokfan and Cayin and/or what is the seeming dis-affection between bartokfan and JOR. I hap... | |
| Are there any budget tubed preamps that stand out Chinese origins aside, a used Eastern Electric Min-Max (line stage only) tubed preamp with its rather elegant and simple circuit, can be had on Audiogon for about $600 or less. Per the (6 moons etc) reviews and many owners comments, this seems to ... | |
| Has this ever happened to you? ----Long I have a "second" small system in my smallish beach house consisting of a Jolida 102B (EL 84 push pull) and a pair of Spendor S 3/5's and a 20 year old Magnavox CD 650 CDP and every time I listen I just scratch my head in amazement. I get more ple... | |
| Which Recievers can I use with My Bose 901's ? I drove a pair of series III 901's for many years (in my younger slightly more rockin' higher volume days-early 1980's) with a Marantz 2270 receiver (70 watt/channel which had pre out's main in's), with great success. I also later drove them with ... | |
| Jadis Orchestra Ref + Pre-Amp? I have a JOR and have driven everything from Quad ESL 63's, Spendor SP100's, Rogers LS 3/5a (15 ohm) and various Sololiquy floor standers with it, and to some pretty good volume levels, with no trouble at all. Actually amazingly strong tight base ... | |
| A good bookshelf for tubes? A used pair of Spendor S 3/5 (the originals) for ~ $750 might surprise you if you have never heard them. | |
| Music out there with good bass Roger Waters "Amused to Death". Made my REL Stentor III walk across the room. | |
| What speakers use a "minimal" crossover? Dennis Had's Soliloquy SM2A3 uses a minimalist crossover design specifically intended for use with low powered SET amps (it's 11 ohms and comes with a caution to not exceed use with amps of greater than 25 watts). At the same time he designed the ... | |
| Can you suggest a warm high-end CD player? I third the Audio Aero Capitole MK II. Or, for considerably less money, their earlier Capitole called simply the 24/192 is phenonomal for about half the cost. You should be able to pick one up for about $2600-$2800 used. |
