| Small floorstander recommendations 2nd the ATC even though they are standmount.I saw an ad at Toys in the Attic Epos M15 for $799 or so. Epos or Spendors are best on your list IMHO for accurate but musical sound. Bachs are pretty good after that. | |
| Help Save Klipcsh from B & O Sugden A21 amp and keep the Cornwalls??? | |
| any personal experience with bybee filters? Dealer who sells Walker HDL's said Bybee's round highs and ever so slightly take "air" out of music. Big surprise but could try Walker as well. | |
| How much to spend to beat $1200 10yr old speakers? Quads look nice. Heard them with older Arcam stuff which is sort of flat sounding. Even so, I thought they tended to be bright. Read Brit-mag review and they said could be bad with bad recordings.Hard to find but try ATC SCM 7's (I think www.flate... | |
| integrated amp for $1500? Search for Sugden:I think hifichoice.co.uk is the site. They have a buyer's guide section. Also ecoustics.com will have reviews. | |
| Parametric / graphic equalizer recommendations Thanks for the link Onhwy61. I was saying in general about turning my room into an anechoic chamber, not directed at anyone's helpful advise here. Because I have already looked into acoustic foam which absorbs specific frequencies and decided agai... | |
| Parametric / graphic equalizer recommendations Well, I'm so impressed by the thoughtful responses I'll say more than I want.1) Spent a week with our local symphony orchestra and going back to my system, made me realize how bright, even tizzy on a bad CD it can be. At one point I listened to th... | |

| Why Don't More People Love Audio? Also convenience. Very few people are willing to put speakers out into the room. Most people don't want tuner / transport / dac / preamp / amp / speaker with all the wires and interconnects as well.I see posts regularly for people wanting speakers... | |
| Backing Away from Stereophile Class A Sugarbire - you're talking about the B&W 302's in your "system"? Must be something better than that. | |
| Rear wall effect on sound stage location? Thanks Sean and Stehno for explaining. I heard Merlin VSM and male vocal is VERY forward compared to B&W Nautilus. There was 15 feet behind VSM and 6 feet behind Nautilus but VSM still had more forward presentation.Must be combination of Nauti... | |
| Connectors:Banana's OR Spade's Viggen - Loss of extreme highs, loss of bass weight - loss of soundstage depth. This is really bizarre to me but I use spades and even with identical wire I noted those differences and could only say because had to do with the quality of the conne... | |

| Round Two: Best Speakers for LOUD music and rock?? How about SIX amps? I'm talking about ATC active 100's. Play 117dB continuous. Very low distortion and listener fatigue.Also Active 150's ($18,700), 200's ($39,750),and 300's ($45,300) will cause permanent hearing damage at an even faster rate tha... | |
| Best electronics for Thiel CS3.6 ? Davidspeed, The Theil 1.6 is a real departure from typical Thiel brightness - even with Krell. Unfortunately, maybe too little, too late from the way local dealers are dropping the Thiel line. |
