| Magnepans vs Quad 22L's.. Thanks for the input. The 22l's retail for $1600.00, can be purchased much less. Not sure electrostats would work in my system. I tried Martin Logans once and felt they needed more breathing room. I hear they can be difficult to drive also. I trie... | |
| Nad372 vs Rotel 1070 vs Denon PMA 2000 Thanks, I just "jumped" on a Rotel RA 1070 integrated at what I thought was a decent price. I like the idea of an integrated and it has more guts than the 1062 I have which is nice too. I'll let you know how my latest audio experiment works out. | |
| QUAD 21L or 22L opinions please punch them in After further listening I find the Quads a great performer. I've thrown everything at them and they sing. I wouldn't call them a "rock" speaker as people think of them (Klipsch). However, in listening to Tull, Moody Blues they are excellent. They ... | |
| SUB TO MATCH WITH QUAD 22L'S Great input, thanks. This helps in my search.Beernut | |
| SUB TO MATCH WITH QUAD 22L'S Ok. I have no problem with good used-Audiogon! I have a studio apt approx. 25 x 35. I am basically looking to augment the bass-the quad's are impressive on their own but I've yet to hear a system that didn't benefit from proper sub enhancement. I ... | |
| QUAD 21L or 22L opinions please punch them in Ok, just got the Quad 22l's a few days ago. Let me say-very impressive! I'm still evaluating but my initial reaction is very positive. Great mids, clear highs and surprising bass. Not overblown, but very tight and fast. Currently driving them with... | |
| Experience with Rotel RA 1062 integrated... Thanks, that's interesting. I have been able to play the Quads and they are impressive. I have an RA 1062 on the way to play with. I haven't decided if a sub will be needed to augment the bottom end. Most speakers I've owned benefit from some bass... | |
| QUAD 21L or 22L opinions please punch them in I just bought a pair of 22L's over 'Gon. I've been playing musical chairs with speakers lately and this is the next in line. I've read too many good things not to try them. There are several good offers on 'Gon too. Mine should arrive in the next ... | |
| Best bargain integrated amp? Consider a Rotel 1060-very well received and has phono too. A used Denon PMA 2000 gives lots of bang for the buck too. | |
| CD player for my system? Good bang for the buck, Rotel RCD 1072. Just got one and am very happy. Pushes what can be done under $1500.00, HDCD compatible too. | |
| Need a CD player to match I have just purchased a Rotel 1072 and am very please so far. They can be bought at a god price. | |
| Best Speaker New or Used under $1.5K Hey Denon, we haven't lost interest- you don't listen to us!!! Just kidding. I've never heard the Triangles but have read the reviews. Personally, I try not buying french made products. That's the old Military in me. Nonetheless, you have many gre... | |
| Best Speaker New or Used under $1.5K Denon, IMHO opinion there isn't a small speaker that sounds big-doesn't work. The issue with monitors and subs is integrating the 2 which isn't as easy as most people think. I have owned the Stratus Mini's-great small speaker. If you wanted to go ... | |
| Best Speaker New or Used under $1.5K Good choices also Macdad. The 'Steens offer tremendous value. Maggies are nice but our friend has space issues and maggies need room to breath. I must admit to being a 2 channel guy, never heard music done right in surround. My suggestions were pu... | |
| Best Speaker New or Used under $1.5K Hey, Shoe provided some fine choices, I like them all. The Z7's are very room friendly. I think you'd be fine, plus they have a small footprint. I've owned PSB, Audio Physic, Vandersteen, Meadowlark Kestrels and Ospreys, Mirage, Klipsch-blah, blah... |
