| What's the best s.s. integrated for Khorns? Jbello is right. 104db efficient horns do not need that much power. They will get loud enough for a half deaf metal head with 20 watts. Spend money for increased quality of watts not increased number of watts. The new K-horns use plastic horns and... | |
| SACD/DVD A and question on receiver Good player into analog input of Arcam then possible upgrade after living with the new set-up for a while. Separates are the ideal. Receivers, even $$$ ones, are a compromise. Receivers have low resale values. Leaving yourself a path to real impro... | |
| Recomm 5ch Amp for Von Schweikert Vr5 surr. syst. Audio Refinement Multi 5 (or multi 2 + Multi 3)is good.Parasound has two in the Halo line that may be of interest.These amps will work fine but you may get more improvement with a good pre-pro in addition to a modest amplifier. For the money the A... | |

| Beveridge speakers-does anyone still use them? Start thinking about childproofing everything you own. In less than a year you are going to have little fingers all over anything within 2ft of the floor. Time for wall-mounted speakers?Congratulations! | |
| Nirvana "Nevermind" MFSL soundquality vs Normal I couldn't tell an appreciable difference between the two. There again, how good can grunge rock sound? Great music, not great recordings. THe MTV Unpluged discs were well recorded. I really like the Alice In Chains unpluged disc. | |
| Best value minisystem for hardrock/metal? Steuspeed is right. Get an efficent speaker that you can power with most anything. It won't sound good in absolute terms but it will get loud and sound better than the Audiovox mini system the guy down the street has. Speakers that are 96dB+ effic... | |
| help building a new system on a budget... Call Mike at Jolida. You won't find a nicer guy. Terribly honest too. Just tell him the speakers and room you will be using and he will tell you what amp to go with.Good luck! | |
| Thoughts on the new Martin Logan Summit Speakers With electrostats you don't want to sit right on top of them. It will confuse the soundstage and give an artificial and inaccurate expanse to the music. However, in a room that large you can place them properly and be ten feet away and get great s... | |
| Amp Clipping? with my Swan 6.1's You have likely blown your crossovers and possibly the drivers.Remove individual drivers and play them (softly) to see if they are indeed blown.If they play then rmove the crossover and play them through the crossover individually.Number of watts ... | |
| A book shelf speaker to go on a bookshelf. VR-1 is a good speaker.The hole in the back is not called a port as its tuning frequency is higher than that of the woofer and has no useful bass output of its ownGood luck. | |
| Thoughts on the new Martin Logan Summit Speakers I agree that it is a very good speaker. With proper room placement I think that you will find that they are very dynamic in the bass. The 25 and 50 Hz controls will allow compensation for some common room modes. These are most useful for situation... | |
| help building a new system on a budget... Jolida JD202Spendor S6 or S8Don't skimp on the speaker. Upgrade one component at a time and you will come out much better in the end.Good luck! | |
| A book shelf speaker to go on a bookshelf. NHT SB3- great speaker on its own, not terribly expensive, flush mounted tweeter, sealed boxOn a bookshelf you are going to be limited as to how good anything can sound so there is little sense in spending big $$$. THis is a versitile and durable ... | |
| Speaker upgrade It is a wierd room. 16x14 with one side opening into a amuch larger room and a strange ceiling that limits listening position to a very small area for bass reproduction. As with any speaker I recomend auditioning it at home. If your dealer won't l... |
