| spendor 3/5 vs era vs avi vs vienna acoustics hayd If he uses bass-limited speakers he can avoid some of the problems of having a square room though. A 15x15x8 box would have peaks at 75 and 150Hz at normal listening position with the coresponding nulls. Because even the best small speakers do not... | |
| Is it Ok for RCA barells l&r touch each other Yes it is ok.Think headphone mini-plug. | |
| spendor 3/5 vs era vs avi vs vienna acoustics hayd THe Spendor is hard to beat at that diminutive size. If you have room you may also want to consider the Spendor SP3/1P (ported, bookcase placement not an option) or even the little Von Schweikert VR1.Good luck! | |

| cables recommendation I know that the VSA's are wired internaly with Analysis Plus but IMO they do not sound good with AP speaker wire. I listened to several models in teh AP line and they all sounded terrible to me.I'm not a wire guy mind you, but I have heard two typ... | |
| What price do you put on your gear? Sounds like healthy self reflection. More audiophiles should take a page from that book. I've seen people take out loans before thier tax returns came in to get new stuff. THere was one guy that had no job, lived off of his wifes modest salary, an... | |
| I profess no knowledge re. Professor Longhair... Martykl makes a good point. I think it is an eay transition into blues from rock. Working backward is a learning experiance. Work your way back to wax cylinder recordings from the Library of Congress and you can fully appreciate what is currently ... | |

| Best monitor for female vocals? In line with the Harbeths you are already considering are the Spendors.Classic and Se series.S8e is a great speaker.Good luck! | |
