Can someone describe the sound of KEF IQ30's ?
Btw,I listen to both the Energy RC-10s and NHTs Classic Three through a Denon system and enjoyed the sound of both, although I must say my preference was for the Energy RC-10. Definely think either one would be a step up from the Polk Rti28. Actua... 
Can someone describe the sound of KEF IQ30's ?
If you "must" buy some new speakers to replace your Polks, and want to stay "south" of the $500 line, then I would recommend that you take a listen to the Energy RC-10s. Also, since you mentioned that you like the NHT Classic Threes, you might kee... 
Bookshelves
Vince,Here's a little bit of history about the LS3/5a from an Enjoy the Music review of the Gini LS3/5a. One thing they do mention is that the LS3/5a is a "monitor speaker" and not a "bookshelf speaker". "Surely it must come to pass that in every ... 
Vienna Acoustics vs ERA
Since you have narrowed it down to the Mozart Grand (maybe the Beethoven Baby Grand) and ERA D14, and you have dealers for both Vienna Acoustic and ERA speakers in your area, my suggestion would be to arrange for a "home demo" using your component... 
Dynaco A-25's and a sub-woofer?
M520man, I don't think $175 is to much for a pair of A-25 if they truely are in excellent shape. And while I agree with Ponnie that speakers of today are more open sounding, with tigher bass, better high frequency extension, ect. I certainly feel ... 
Bruce at The Super Bowl....
Dreadhead,What has Springsteen done in the last twenty years that can measure up to Dylan's last three? Time Out of MindLove and TheftModern Times Truth is, one is still an artist, and one has become a "politically correct" rock star, very much at... 
Bruce at The Super Bowl....
Hate to say it, but in so mamy ways, Bruce has "sold out". To even compare him to Bob Dylan, are you kidding?. Bob's last few albums (CDs) have shown that he still in the game. What has Bruce done? His last CD "Majic" pretty much "sucked", and fro... 
Klipsch Heresy: Inexpensive Int. Amps or Receivers
I would be partial to the Jolida, matter of fact I have a 502a and have considered of maybe trying to find a pair of Heresy's to add to my system at some point (also considering a pair of Large Advents). Also, for the $450 price point, you might w... 
RIP Billy Powell
Sad to hear of Billy's passing. Was huge Skynyrd fan back in the day. 
Need speaker advice for new Rotel system
I'll echo what Rshad0000 said as from what I've heard, Rotel and B&W makes a quite a good sounding combination. 
b&w dm303 vs 601 s2
Glowplug,Get the speakers and see how it does it your system. IMHO, it's best to add one piece of equipment at a time, and to live with it, and listen to it, and get to know it's attributes, before adding another piece of equipment. You may find, ... 
Subwoofer or Bi-Amp?
Darkkeys,The lowest note on a bass guitar is an E, which resonates at 42 (actually 41.20) Hz, which is why you were able to hear it clearly, but not the subwoofer. 
Why the Blues Really Hit The Spot
If you listen to most popular American music forms, and trace them back to their roots, just about all of them are rooted in blues and/or gospel. I love listening to blues (especially some of the older, more acoustic based artist) as it really get... 
Remarkable systems on a budget
For $2000 you can put together a quite good sounding system, especially if you take your time, and narrow down your listening wants and needs, and are willing to buy mostly used components. Granted it won't be SOTA, but nevertheless it should meet... 
"Already Free" - Derek Trucks Band
It appears that the vinyl mix of this recording is different (and superior) to the CD mix. Guess I'm going to have to find someone who has a vinyl copy of this recording and have a listen myself. Thanks to MrBlues44 over on the Hittin the Web site...
