| Do I need a Phono Cable? Maybe. | |
| Versatile, non-fatiguing speakers for a small room under $1500 used or new: advice needed! Hearing lots of good things about Harbeth, thanks. But I wonder how good they are with different genres - I’ve read they’re excellent at jazz and vocal but with rock, not so much. But hey maybe in a small room like mine the amount of bass they pro... | |

| Empty canvas: recommendations on blending audio and moving watching I'm not sure that I agree with the argument against using a tube amp in a home theater system. I have tube mono blocks for my home theater / two channel system. If I'm just watching the news or something on TV I don't even turn them on, I just lis... | |
| Empty canvas: recommendations on blending audio and moving watching Honestly, you might get better responses somewhere like AVS forum. Many will say that the timbre of the speakers is important and that you should use the same brand. I have a mix of speakers and it works great for me. I use a preamp for 2-channel ... | |
| Empty canvas: recommendations on blending audio and moving watching You're worrying about something that is a non-issue. I've used 102 dB sensitive speakers for home theater. | |

| Devore Fidelity Orangutan O/96 I haven't heard all the speakers you mention, but I recently replaced my harbeth super hl5 plus with the KEF reference ones in my main system. There are more detailed, more dynamic, have a great soundstage and imaging, and are easier to listen to ... | |
| Versatile, non-fatiguing speakers for a small room under $1500 used or new: advice needed! I meant to say sealed design. Apparently the caffeine hadn't kicked in yet. | |
| What are you streaming tonight? I started listening to Blue Öyster Cult - The Symbol Remains but didn't have a chance to listen to it all. I'm about halfway through now and so far, I'd say this is one of their best releases. Some great songwriting and excellent playing. | |
| DSpeaker Antimode 2.0 or 2 more Subs? You go your way, I'll go mine. I'll take the added headroom and the benefit of multiple subs cancelling out nodes, over equalization. Don't get me wrong, I think the Anti-mode could help. I've been thinking about trying one out in my system. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Play grading my other copy of 10CC - The Original Soundtrack. This one is close to NM-. I guess I didn't need to buy a new copy of it. | |
| Versatile, non-fatiguing speakers for a small room under $1500 used or new: advice needed! You should be able to find a used pair of Harbeth P3ESR within your budget. With their ported design, they will work with near wall placement. They don't have a lot of bass. If you want more bass, then The Vento Reference 9.2 DC might be the ti... | |
