| Just moved and have a smaller audio room 10.5 x 15 I just made the same move...16x8.5x7(LxWxH)...Anyway I found that my Spendor S8e were way too big...I started to use my Spendor S3e to great effect...sold it all and am currently trying Merlin TSM-MMe and Usher BE-718's...One Caviat is that my roo... | |
| Spendor S8e or Vandersteen 3A-Sig or ? I have to cast a vote for the S8e's as well...though I too just sold mine after 3 years...just wanted to try something new (Merlin monitors). In my small exposure to Vandy's I found them not to my liking, but have not lived with them. Your musical... | |
| Watch TV by pass preamp/processor i agree with what has been said...one recommendation:run your HDMI from Tivo to your TV (best picture quality assuming your TV is good quality). Then run an optical or coaxial to your preamp/processor for sound only. An HDMI cable today is no bett... | |
| Merlin MMe - Bi-Wire or Single Wire Thanks everone for your responses...I am changing my system in many areas...just this moring I switched the speakers to the other side of the room...clearly I have a lot of fun work to do...my wife thinks I have lost it! I will take the recommenda... | |
| Merlin MMe - Bi-Wire or Single Wire I caved and experimented in every which way...ultimately decided on bi-wired with zobel network...case closed...it was close though! | |
| Top Alternative Rock Albums of 2008 I'm going to double down on Synthfreek's suggestion(s):Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago - Just saw them this week in Philly...2nd concert this year and they were great both shows.alsoThoa - We Brave Bee Stings and All - no where near the revelatio... | |
| Arcam AVR300 problem I'm so glad i stumbled on this thread...my 350 stopped getting signal from my optical cable via the DVD...I moved it to the SAT input which now works but I just left it there...was dumbfounded...now it makes sense! Thanks | |
| new small room, big change Hello Everyone...thanks for the great response. I wanted to post this question here on the forums because I am new to such a small listening space and it certainly has changed my perspective.So many have responded that I am going to make a few gen... | |
| Which Headphone Amp in the $500 - $800 range I can recommend the SinglePower that I use with my 650's...I previously drove them with Musical Fidelity's X-Can3 (bloated bass)...the SP is perfect...wait and find one used as I did...you will still need to crank it up but the sound is too sweet! | |
| I Feel Overwhelmed....Please Help Chap CatCan you bring your speakers to the dealer? If you are going to buy they might set them up for you...it won't be your room but it would be a good start. | |
| Moving from Carpet to Hardwood floors...need help Thanks everyone for your suggestions...I really appreciate it! Moving my system is both exciting and scary since I like my sound right now...I look forward to experimenting with your direction.RegardsChad | |
| Speaker advice? I hate to derail the Spendor love, but I own and have lived with them for 2+ years...they are not the best Rock speakers...rather laid back and all about tone. I will second B&W...but also look at Revel and Usher which can really ROCK! | |
| State of the art speakers from yesteryear. Spica - Angelus, TC-60, TC-50 | |
| Integrated amp to pair with Spendor S8e I first tried a Musical Fidelity A5 integrated that worked really well (great performance for the dollar)...they need a decent degree of power so don't get too crazy. Also used an Arcam Reciever once upon a time in an HT system...worked well. | |
| Most pleasing sound vs most hifi sound I think it has a lot to do with being preoccupied while listening. There's a lot to say about driving to the beach and playing tunes you love or twisting through the mountain pass while listenning to your prefered musical passage.Sitting at home i... |
