| Suggestion for Amp with 2 sets of spk terminals ClarificationThe VAC gets turned on when I fire up my living room speakers, the secondary solid state amp is to be left on 24/7 for the kitchen speakers and if I find one of high enough quality, I'll on occasion use it for the LR speakers too. | |

| Tyler Acoustics: Taylo Ref III vs. Linbrook Sig's Ty is accomodating. My 3 way Linbrooks are front ported and minimally placement sensitive. | |

Monitors, in my den system and a pair of custom Tyler Linbrook 3 ways, in my main listening system. Both provide gre... | |
| Recommendation for inexpensive integrated For the money Cambridge Audio is a good value, but if you want an integrated that sounds more than twice as good and will really make your system come alive at the budget end of the spectrum, get a Jolida. I purchased a Jolida hybrid 1501 from Gal... | |
