I’m easily able to discern the textural differences of the acoustical instrument itself of Gomez vs Brown vs Bromberg vs Pettiford and so on. Obviously, ... | |

I’ll chime in with the Sugden people. I own several pieces and they all perform in a stunning fashion. | |
| Warm, rich but detailed SS preamp (made you give up tubes) audioguy85,I agree Sudgen is great, have owned and own several pieces. Actually still have an A21SE among others.

| Budget tower speakers that rock! I cannot dispute the aforementioned Fluance speakers perform well, they certainly may, just not Canadian made mate. Designed and Engineered in Canada on the cabinets is code.l like the PA suggestion. Ear bleed, nose bleed and gastric distress. ... | |
| Should I use Speaker Spike / Isolation Base or Something? +1 for Isoacoustics footers + carpet spikes (if needed). They sit under my ATC 40A towers and work marvelously. Very real improvement. | |

| I need a good looking and good sounding speaker .... Penaudio fill the bill. Just sold my Cenya pair only because I’ve an embarrassment of audio riches and needed to pare down. They are gorgeous in all ways. | |
| Budget tower speakers that rock! Cerwin Vega Baby! Not my speaker, but with the right amplification they will make your ears bleed and give you left ventricular blockage. While the Outlaw is respectable, it is in no way capable of transporting you to that aural Nirvana. The af... | |
| Warm romantic & detailed +1 for felt or wool around tweeter. This will calm frequency and defraction. | |
| Isolation Feet Upgrade I run Cullen Crossover ll only and they are terrific. I would replace with those, let them settle in and then attack the footers thing. I’m still an equipment stand fan as opposed to footers. Iso Acoustics does seem on top of that niche. I use... | |
