| JBL 4349 at low listening levels. I have a pair of 4349s and they do very well at low listening levels. The 4349s are hybrid horns, the bass unit is a traditional 12 inch cone in a front-ported enclosure. LF horns are not typically compact nor are they inexpensive unless you are ... | |
| Need recommendations for high gain/small footprint class d amplifier Burson. | |
| Tube Pre/ Class D Amp - Who has done it? I have a system with a tube preamp (ProJect Pre Box RS2, selectable tube stage) and a Class D Purifi amp (NAD 298). It is a very good combination. | |
| Is there usually a dramatic difference between $5k and $10k cartridges ? This is an "Oh Good Lord" type question. I can't imagine spending close to that much on a cartridge for vinyl. But this is a hobby and some just like what they like and believe what they want to believe. I would hope there was a meaningful diffe... | |
| Best $10-15K bookshelf speaker? $10-$15K for a bookshelf? With that budget, I would start with the Alta Alyssa at $5K (passive) and force myself to justify spending more. You could have a whole Linn system on that budget. If going for a bookshelf, I would make it a 2.1 system an... | |

| One box solution You might also look at Linn's complete systems. They have a "one box" design. They have a dealer in Bellevue. | |
| One box solution Consider a pair of active standmounts with a preamp/DAC. Buchardt actives (A500) and then a compact but complete preamp, the ProJect Pre Box RS2, which has a Dual DAC, headphone amp and remote and a selectable tube preamp section. You could use an... | |
| Bookshelf speaker pairing with subwoofer Another option is the Vandersteen VLR-CT. | |
| Bookshelf speaker pairing with subwoofer I can also recommend the Studio Electric M4s, an excellent monitor-size standmount. | |
| From Audio Note AN/J-D to where? Avantgarde has a dealer in København. | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. This post has acquired an interesting and persistent energy. ASR is clearly neither trivial nor unpersuasive or why would so many try to denounce it? I occasionally go to ASR to read their reviews. Their contributors don't appear to be particular... | |
| From Audio Note AN/J-D to where? As you are in Europe and have an interest in horns, have you listened to Avantgarde's line of speakers? | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. petaluman: I am aware the small list of speakers I mentioned are "box" designs (stretching the definition for the Genelecs and the Dutch&Dutch) and am well aware of the several categories of speakers that are not of a box design.
