Best Integrated Amp, Price no obstacle? Not heard the Musical Fidelity KW500 but the Tri-Vista bettered the Concentra II and ML383 when I was searching for a new amp. | |
Best Budget system? $500-$750 tops I bought a Tivoli sytems as a spare a few years back and have been very pleased with this purchase. Its not the last word in detail but has a very pleasing full sound and looks great to boot. It even fits well within your budget and you don't have... | |
The best speaker you ever heard? This is not strictly a commercial system - one of our lecturers Sir Malcom Omar Hawksford at the University of Essex ran a couple of experimental systems which I still remember to this day. Heaven, and this was in 1988!1. Digitally room equalised ... | |
