| 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... | |
| Best Speaker New or Used under $1.5K Great sub!!! Just sold mine ONLY to get the matching Zsub. I just listened to everything from SRV, Roy Clark to early Bee Gees on the Z7's am I'm still floored. The planer tweeter is something else, hey just sold a custom pair of meadowlark osprey... | |
| Best Speaker New or Used under $1.5K A couple of good options also. There are surprisingly good speakers under $1500.00. I've owned 2 pair of Soliloquy's, while rather nice I found them a tad uninvolving. Good used Klipsch can be found quite reasonable-horns are horns though. Meadowl... | |
| Best Speaker New or Used under $1.5K Interesting. There are a number of good choices. First I've owned several pair of Paradigm and always ending up feeling bored. I have just acquired a pair of Bohlender Z7's on 'Gon for a silly price and they are unreal for the $$. If you like to r... | |
| Denon 3910 vs Marantz Dv 9500... Interesting comments. Thanks for the input guys.Beernut | |
| Denon 3910 vs Marantz Dv 9500... Thanks Rottenclam. My guess is probably a toss up on the 2. The universal player is certainly an appealing package. One wonders if some aspect isn't cheated however.Thanks,Dan | |
| What is the Meadowlark house sound? Interesting posts. I have owned Kestral 2's (currently for sale) and now Ospreys. My impression is that these are very well balanced speakers and suitable for all types of music. I feel the Kestrals are a great speaker for a smaller room and did n... | |
| Tube rolling for Jolida 502B I have the 502B.Thanks,Dan | |
| Tube rolling for Jolida 502B Thanks Larry. I saw at the tube store where the current electro harmonix power tubes are highly recommended. Maybe they aren't so bad after all.Beernut | |
| Tube rolling for Jolida 502B Are KT 88's and 6550 interchangeable? I'm new to the tube scene. I ordered Electro Harmonix tubes to replace the Jolida labeled tubes in the pre amp which I'm sure are chinese in origin. That would give me all Electro Harmonix tubes at this point.... | |
| Tube rolling for Jolida 502B Thanks, I'll try that.Beernut | |
| Tube rolling for Jolida 502B Thanks, lively and engaging is my preference. I listen to a lot of blues and like the vocals right in front of me.Beernut | |
| Tube rolling for Jolida 502B I should mention current tubes are: Electro Harmonix 6550 EH, Electro Harmonix 12AT7EH and Jolida 12AX7A. |
