| small room speakers I've owned 2 pr. of Rogers LS3/5As and agree with what has been said. However, technology marches on and I would give the new small Spendor the nod with quicker and punchier response. Bass is less muddled. Still love the classic. | |
| I Hardly Listen to Music Anymore Nobody mentioned live music. Can one live from recorded only performance? I think not. A balance should be struck with live music feeding the urge for reliving the experience with recorded and recorded feeding the desire to find the artist live. | |
| LS 3/5 To my knowledge, ProAc does not make an LS 3/5A. The genuine article has to do with licensing from the BBC and meeting certain manufacturing parameters of quality and specifications. Up for debate as to best vintage and manufacturer. Generally, th... | |

| Nightmare Cool!! MLs as headphones. | |
| Anyone know of a good transport for the Ack dAck ? I own a Parasound (CEC) and it sounds great. Would bet the CEC player listed for $350 on the 'gon is very decent. Convinced a learned colleague over his respectable Rega Planet (older version) as a transport. | |

| Requesting jazz quartet CD suggestions kplu.org sound stream. I've lived all over the U.S. because of my profession and this is one of the best public stations for traditional jazz and lots of quartet/trio music. They play the gambit of old to new artists and always tell you what they'... | |
| Best transport for redbook and HDCD? I run the Parasound BD 2000 top loader. Don't believe the belt drive affects sound, however this unit is unbelievably good. Must confess to a full Mod Wright modification though. I loaned the transport to someone with excellent ears; custom built ... | |
| Speakers--Epos? Spendor? ATC? What? ATC 12s. I've owned or listened to all of your possibles ( and you've picked some great ones), but the ATCs are the best coventional box speaker I've ever heard period. They are quick, musical, dynamic and very open. Down side is that they are cri... | |
| Best in depth of soundstaging and ease for 2k? ATC SCM 12s. New $2200, used $1300. Best cone speaker I've ever heard period. And I travel the country alot and slip into audio shops everywhere. | |
