| Have $3000...what would you buy? 85 tickets to the symphony? | |
| Trying to ID this peice of classical Oh my...this doesn't sound familiar. | |
| looking for advice on bookshelf speakers A simple option to smooth and lessen treble energy, without the pain of experimenting with costly component changes, is an equalizer. It may not be audiophile accepted, but who cares if it helps you listen. You might check out dbx models readily a... | |
| Tweeter replacement Stanwal is right...will probably mess up driver integration. BUT, you might want to try it if it's a simple swap out. If it sounds better, hey, why not. | |
| Best "small footprint" speaker between $600-1000 I heard the Quad 12Ls (I think that was the model) and thought they sounded great...might be worth a shot. | |
| Upgrade suggestions for Parasound/Dynaudio system Before you go buying expensive new gear, which may even make your system leaner, do a quick frequency response using a test CD. You could have a severe suckout somewhere in the midbass/lower mids region, where much of the "fat" is (my mids region ... | |
| Speaker recommendations for small space I second the S3/5s or the original SP 1/3s (not the SP 1/3Ps). The latter are rare as hens' teeth on AG, though. | |

| Lou Reed/Metallica "Lulu" just awful A big Reed fan here, but Reed and Metallica is just wrong on so many levels...YIKES. | |
| A Good Match? Consider a used NAD 270 or 272. Affordable and good power w/some meat on the bones. | |
| Advice on switching to separates The 2010s' 75W rating is probably a really nice match w/your Harbeths (BTW, the Exposure is a beautiful piece), and I'd say you would have to make a significant power/current jump to tell a real difference. I use old NAD pre/amp w/my Spendors, and... | |
| Thoughts on current EL-34 tubes I settled on Winged Cs after two sets of JJ E34Ls began arcing on me. They have proved reliable and balanced. | |
| Favorite iTunes Radio Stations THREAD I third KCRW...superb source for GOOD music. | |
| A good start on selecting cables? I agree w/Mceljo. If your system sounds good as is, leave well enough alone and save your coin. But if you need something new, I say look at one brand's lower-end models to keep cost down. Mixing and matching is just opening the door to a whole lo... |
