| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please The Nola Mini's might be a little hard to find as they're not being manufactered anymore, and the people that do have them, have a tendency to hang on to them.

| What is the 'Chales Shaw' of loudspeakers? Aktchi,So what you're asking for, is there $200-300 speakers that can beat many $5000 speakers in a "blind (listening) test"? Don't think there are any such speakers. | |

| Acoustic Energy and Audiophile Systems If Audio Energy is still in business, then I would find out from them who is now doing their warrenty work. If that turns out to a dead end, you might want to see if someone like Madisound has the replacement midrange that you need. Granted you'll... | |
| Acoustic Energy and Audiophile Systems Might help if we knew what the problem was with the speakers. But one of the things that happens in the audio business all to often is a company will go out of business or get bought out and many of their products become "orphans" in terms of gett... | |

| Best Buy selling Vienna Acoustics speakers Hate to say it, but it's sad that Magnolia got bought out by Best Buys. Why do I say that? Because you now have the same kind of "ignorant knuckleheads" working the Magnolia side of Best Buys, as the rest of Best Buys. I went to try and listen to ... |
