| 10 k speaker setup. 5.1 If your budget is 10k I would check out www.philharmonicaudio.com. They have recently released a center channel to go with their HT floor standing towers. You can use the BMR monitors for the rear surrounds. You can look at Rhythmic Audio for a... | |
| Best Receiver? You can't go wrong with any of the McIntosh receivers, old or new. That being said I had my Pioneer SX-828 restored to factory specs for my 2 channel listening pleasure and I couldn't be happier. I bought it new in 1974 and it's been in continuo... | |
| Upgrade 2 conductor power cables Fuzztone, After reviewing the spaghetti bowl of wires behind the stereo rack I have started a quest to shield what can be shielded. I have built XLR cables (Mogami 2534 star quad wire & Neutrik connectors), RCA interconnects (Canare star qua... | |
| Up to $4000US tower speakers for Jazz and Classical Music I wouldn't shy away from anything created by Jim Salk or Dennis Murphy. Years ago I had the pleasure of hearing the Ellis 1801 speakers at a co-workers house. They sounded fantastic. Mr. Salk has a floor standing version in a transmission line c... | |

| Mogami 2921 vs Canare 4s11 vs ??? I may go with BJC for the RCA inter-connects & XLR cables but only because I haven't soldered anything since my radio merit badge when I was a Boy Scout, many years ago. The stereo cables seemed a simple task but we shall see. When you watch... | |
| Mogami 2921 vs Canare 4s11 vs ??? A big TEXAS THANK-YOU to all who responded. I have decided to go with the Canare 4s11. I guess I will just have to dig out the Cheech & Chong, George Carlin, Firesign Theatre, maybe some Who, Led Zeppelin, Fleetwood Mac, Peter Paul & Mar... | |
| Why the hate for mcintosh amps? I fell in love with McIntosh equipment the 1st time I heard them back in 1974. I wasn't able to afford anything until 2004. I will never buy any other amplifier. The look great, they sound great, and they hold their value. | |
| blue jeans cable? I'm currently using Audioquest cable, it's 4 solid copper wires. It's strange, 2 wires are thicker than the other two. I've twisted 2 wires together (1 thick & 1 thin) for + & - connection to speaker. The cables are terminated with banana ... |
