| Help picking first amp.... Heres a different tact: If your budget goes up to $1500, snatch up the Forte 5 that just got listed and use the $1100 you saved towards a nice preamp. I would look at the used market for the pre also. The 5 might not be the ultimate amp but its a ... | |
| Early 1970's rock: Name some of your favorites Somehow Spirit jumped into my head when I read the title to this thread. The 20-bit remaster of my fave Twelve Dreams of Dr.Sardonicus should be required listening for this group. "Nature's Way" was a minor hit. "Animal Zoo" and "Mr. Skin" also go... | |
| Any Jerry Douglas fans? I like the solo work he has done and also check out the all star Strength in Numbers. | |
| Whats wrong? If you sort your system out (not sure your choice of source will ever sound that great) your speaker upgrade will be stunning. 86 the EQ and get a decent preamp for starters. | |

| NAIM Alternatives-from people who have switched. A while back I read a review in HiFi+(GB) from a Naim devotee who replaced his power amp with a new amp under the Dynavetor name. Dynavector is known for cartridges so this was a surprise to me. This new design as I recall is by the guy responsibl... | |
| Speakers Split the difference. Why blow your wad on speakers that will make you dissatisfied with your system? It would drive me crazy knowing how great my new speakers -could- sound. Consider $2k on amp, $3k on speakers. You can find some excellent speake... | |
| Why do we listen to music? Music is the universal language. Well, music, love and certain hand gestures. | |
| 250 watts: why so much power? More important than playing "extra loud" is the ability to play music at a moderately loud level without the clipping distortion and compression you would hear when using an amp that is not quite up to driving the speaker load. Its not all about y... | |
| used when promised new It seems that you are not detail oriented (anal), but think that "as new" should have been the representation for this transaction. I hope this was the gist of your feedback and nothing more. I decree: JUSTIFIED! Note- nobody cares what I think, h... | |
| Woofer damage from new Star Wars THX DVD? $1200 for one woofer? Glad I cant afford those speakers (big lie). I once blew both tweeters on some Mission speakers with a clipping 300wpc amp. They were almost new and the local super-store exchanged them on the spot. This was 15 years ago, a f... | |
| Anybody have some experience with Bedini amps? My friend drives Totem Ones with an old Bedini 25/25 he got at a pawn shop for $250. I have heard these speakers sound lousy with other low powered SS amps, but the 25/25 sounds great! | |
| Riddle me this... My buddy drives Totem Ones with a Bedini 25/25 and has no urge to "super-size". And less of us average guys can afford to now that we are being "trickled on" again. | |
| Unshielded Speakers,How Far? Do they have to be very close to the tv? If you spread them wide enough to where they sound good you shouldnt have a problem. |
