| Best Monitors used under $800 Just browsing tonight I came across the following on Audioweb, Audioreview, Audioshopper and Audiogon: ACI Sapphire2, Spendor3/5, Legacy Audio Studio, and a floorstanding alternative, Mission775s. Check them out and also look for Dynaudio Audience... | |
| Best upgrade for the money ? Go for the Meadowlark Kestrels or something of similar quality. I would not go for Totem 1s although I like them (I have some) unless your amp can deliver a lot of current. Next, start saving for a CD upgrade. You have a nice amp so give it a chan... | |
| My wife is so uncool! My wife told the UPS guy she was going to divorce me last time he came by unexpectedly. She says she didnt mean it, but who can be sure. She likes the way the new speaker stands look (Atacama N70,great for small speakers and inexspesive)so I think... | |
| Best speakers for looks & sound < 1000 Morel drivers are high quality. Maybe you should investigate the cause of failure. I dont think the spreakers are at fault, better check out your amp before you have blow another set of speakers. Returning the signal that was not straining your sp... | |
| Best very small Speakers (at any price)? Fit in a suitcase? NSM Moldel 10 is about 10",5.5",6" and 8ohm. The only other I can think of is the AVI NuNeutron. Its has recieved great press in Great Britain, but I dont know if its available in the U.S. Its a little bigger too, about 10.5",5.... | |
| Most Honest Audio Magazine? *At least they can spell clever. | |
| Most Honest Audio Magazine? Mags are only useful if you take all opinions with a grain of salt. Some reviewers have an agenda, some are more interested in cleaver writing and some are either deaf or stupid. One reviewer has an unusualy small room and reviews large full-range... | |
| Best Speakers - low volume & nearfield. Swan M1. This little 2-way compact has an excellent ribbon tweeter and really makes the music sounds alive at low volume in a way most speakers can not compare. Not an expensive speaker and even available as a kit, it is surprisingly good. | |
| Class A Watts vs Class A/B Watts Power ratings in watts has little to do with real world loads. My friend has a Bedini 25x25 and it sounds quite powerful (very good sounding amp). There are many factors at work with a real speaker load. Generally speaking a more powerful version ... | |
| 4ohm and 8ohm speakers? I read somewhere that a 4ohm version of a driver will have a greater maximum output. Does anyone know if this is true? This might be a factor. | |
| Sell my B&K 4420 and buy a Belles 150a ? I like my 150a very much. I heard the B&K and was not too impressed but it was not the best set up and cant rely on that demo. No wonder so many people shop the net, you would think with all the competition dealers would learn to demo products... | |
| Best beadroom speaker under $350 (NHT?) Currently on this site, B&W DM 601 s2, AE ageis 1, JM labs Micron Ti, all listed for $330 or less. The JMs have an exellent 5" Focal main driver. The others may have the edge as far as fit and finish is concerned, and perhaps max output. I kno... | |
| Best NAD 3020. Not the ultimate amp but when it came out many years ago it was a revelation. Sound that surpassed anything close to its price (under $200). This amp relieved much frustration for those of us who could not afford real high end. Without p... | |
| Air Bladder Isolation, Cheap Inscrutable-I highly recommend using a Target wall mount shelf. I sold my suspended turntable to a friend and when we set it up on the rack where his old turntable sat you couldnt walk past wihtout major skipping. 15min. later the wall shelf was u... | |
| 60W@8ohm is enough for Dyna Contour 1.1? I have Totem Ones with 5" Dynaudio drivers and they definitly respond to higher power. You might get good results with your amp, but a powerful high current amp will make them sing. 1.1s are 85db with a potentially difficult 4ohm load. Kthomas is ... |
