| Good Small Speakers for Rears in Family Room Any of the NHT bookshelf speakers can be wall mounted using an Omni-mount which uses a ball-and-socket type mount. The SB2 is available in white and responds pretty low. They also have the SuperOne Xu and SuperZero Xu which come with the mounts. | |
| Looking to compare SACD sound with redbook I find that the largest benefit of SACD is not in the format so much as in the recording (new albums)or remastering process (Dylan) used when the material is giong to go onto SACD. It is an audiophile format and the engineers know that it is going... | |
| Subwoofer Cables. How important is quality? Sorry to ruffle feathers but personal listening leads me to the conclusion that cables make very little difference. With most peoples systems that money is better spent on new equipment. Most people own mid-fi gear that can bennefit in small ways ... | |
| What cd player should I buy? Golden ears and Aball are right. I sell Parasound and Jolida. I own Parasound gear. If you go to a small hi-fi shop and ask their advice they will give it to you and mean every word of it because they have to fight the internet and big box stores ... | |
| why a speaker would sound better with one single a Biamp rarely works well unless you are very tech-savy and have the right ear and gear to get the job done.Annalogy: Planes with four engines are less safe than those with two. There are more things to go wrong with four engines than two. | |

| Martin Logans Vignette... how good is it ??? They take forever and a day to break in. Once the Martin Logan Mosaic breaks in it does sound quite nice with the right equipment. They are very particular about associaed equipment though.Good Luck. | |

| Who makes a "true" Transmission Line speaker?... Freid is back in buisness (Bud Freid).Also a guy named Ronnie Thackery in Charleston SC makes some using Jordan drivers. | |
| Budget amps that can hold their own. Speakers first, then the rest.NAD, Parasound, Adcom, Jolida, Rotel... it all depends on the efficency and sound characteristics of the speaker. | |
| Martin Logans Vignette... how good is it ??? None of the stuff in the line below the Aeon i is worth the money. Aeon i and above are well worth the money.Dynamo and Grotto subwoofers are a HUGE bang for the buck. | |
| Sony SCD-XA777ES or SCD-1 DVP-S9000ES is a fine player. There is a large market for them on A-gon for a reason. It would be a mistake to replace it. It came from a better era of ES gear when sound quality, build quality and value for the $ was top priority. |
