| Buggtussel Cingulates or B&W 805's or Proac? Buggtussel got a bad review in TAS or something earlier this year. Also resale value is probably not good. So if you buy them, you better like 'em.Do you want to hear exactly what is on the recording? Them go with B&W.Proac's are more seductiv... | |
| Your ''best kept secret'' speaker choice ? ATC is not well known but if it wasn't for B&W I think I would have bought them.Ascend Acoustics CBM-170 2 way for $328 is very good.I think everyone should have a pair of some single driver speakers, even if they only cost $60. It's pretty co... | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? Gonglee3, Sony bought out Aiwa. Maybe this will help Sony's poor sound quality. Aiwa has had good sound quality for the dollar but poor quality. Naw, Sony just bought Aiwa to eliminate their products because their stuff sounded better.Interesting ... | |
| I would like advice for a beginner. Also Ascend Acoustics CBM-170 are a terrific value. I found the mids a bit etched for my taste but they are exceptionally transparent and dynamic.CBM-170.I like concrete blocks for stands. They are cheap and totally dead. Not the best looking howe... | |
| B&W Nautilus 803 & Musical Fidelity A3 I agree with Drrdiamond, an 85 watt integrated will not properly drive 803's. Try the 150 wpc A300 integrated as a minimum. Separates would be even better with double the peak to peak current compared to integrated, even with the same rated wpc ou... | |
| Which speakers for top notch system I like ATC active 100's better than Verity Audio Parsifal Encores or Wilson Sofias (give these a listen before buying the WATT/Puppy 7's if you can). Real bass but tight and fast. One of the most transparent midrange drivers in the world. You will... | |
| What do audio shops need to do to survive ? B&W has a good idea with the $300 600's and NAD at the front of the store. A complete setup for under $1,000. Which is still a lot for most people.But the idea is a good one. Start with a good bang for the buck stereo. Get people into hi-end s... | |

| I would like advice for a beginner. Teac Reference 350 receiver is $200 at:J & R Musicand try these on the 600's. Then put the $150 you saved over the B&W 601's towards an Adire Audio Rava subwoofer. The point is an amp upgrade can do more than a speaker upgrade. Yamaha is a... | |
| Has audiophilia changed your music taste? The ideal system should make all your music sound good. Or as good as possible IMHO.But your stereo can affect what you listen to as JA said in his Wilson Sofia review. Before the Sophias, he had the Revel M20's. Stopped listening to orchestra, sw... | |
| A Tough Question It's a gift to be simple. It's a gift to be free.But if you owned the perfect system and there was nothing to improve upon, then what would you do with your time and money?My response? Wait 6 months =:-) | |
| Biggest Sound in the Littliest Box KRK V4 active speakers 9"H x 6"W x 7 3/4"D.They are very transparent, not harsh, and more dynamic than you will get from a passive design. I don't think I've ever heard speakers separate voices singing in harmony as well as these. The one exceptio... | |
| How does one get off the merry-go-round? 2nd the -embrace it- theory. If you hear the expensive stuff you may realize it really isn't as great as it's hyped to be. If you don't go out and listen, well; your imagination can play on all the hype you read and make you think $20,000 speakers... | |
| Hum with surge protector Sugarbire has a good suggestion. I had a PS Audio HCA-2 that put a hum in the speakers even after removing the ground. Had to plug the amp right into the wall. I use a Tripp-Lite isotel. |
