Good speakers for a low budget
Imaginarynumbers,I'm going to take the side of your female friend, and say replace the "weak link" first, which seems to be her CDP. One that I've owned and though was a good sounding player is the NAD C542. If her speakers are PSB Alphas, then sh... 
good music/poor recording, bad music excellent
Of the two, I would take "good music/poor recording" over "bad music/excellent recording", any day of the week. Quite often a great performance will override a less that stellar recording of that music. Of course, like all of us, I would prefer "g... 
Out of these 4 speakers, which 2 should I try out?
Well, RichActually I'm waiting for a pair of Spendor 3SE to appear on the Audiogon listing, as I really do like the sound of that speaker, and know that it works well with Jolida integrated amps, as I've listened to them being driven by a Jolida J... 
Good speakers for a low budget
"The best speakers in the $600 class are limited in one way or another, and I doubt the different music going through them would make 'that big' of a difference."Well Carrot, why did you even post the question if that the way you feel about $600 c... 
Good speakers for a low budget
Btw, for those who are wondering what the "cleaned up" thing is all about, it just means that certain things you might have done in the "hippy days" you've let go of. While I still enjoy a little "herbal enhancement" from time to time, all the oth... 
Out of these 4 speakers, which 2 should I try out?
The Energy RC-10s are very nice sounding, almost got me a pair, and still may. Also, Axioms are great for HT, but are not all that musical, IMHO. So to complete your speaker "shoot-out" I think I would choose the Ascend 170SE over the Wharfdale Di... 
Marantz HD 770 speakers bass drivers
You're going to have to do a little research. My guess is that Marantz had these speakers build for them by a speaker manufactor. Wouldn't even be surprised if your HD770 was a clone of one of the manufacters speakers. Find out who build these spe... 
Good speakers for a low budget
Wow, we don't have a clue about what this woman's taste in music is, what equipment she's going to use with whatever speakers she chooses, the room she plans to put the speakers in, but already we have many people giving suggestions about what spe... 
LS3/5A owners - what sub do you use with them
You might want to consider the Gini Bass Extension cabinets for the LS3/5A. And according to information on their site they'll match with any LS3/5A. Anyway, here's a link - http://www.gini.com/index.php?id=35b 
No Sound from Tweeter
Worldwide, If I was you I would be buying "two tweeters". Granted you have one tweeter working well, but for how long? Keep the one tweeter that still functions as a "back-up". Now as far as the "beat-up" cabinets, you might want to inquire with s... 
No Sound from Tweeter
It was probably blown before you bought it, and that's why t was silent when you hooked it up. Betting that might have been why the seller sold these speakers. Your best bet is to buy a new tweeter, hopefully one is available. Btw, you might want ... 
ugly tweak
Well, I got my TV and equipment in an entertainment cabinet, and have pulled my speakers in front of the cabinet about 8 inches. And when I listen to my music, I close the doors in front of the TV, as the reflection off of the wood, is much better... 
Best alt-country, americana internet radio station
You might want to check out WNCW.ORG (88.7 in Spindale, NC) Public radio station from Isothermal Community College with a playlist that includes lots of alt-country, Americanna, blugrass, and old-time music. 
Good entry level cd?
You could probably pick up a used NAD C-542 in the $200-300 range. 
Best Monitor Speaker?
Craig,Due to an error in the Audio Advisor pull down menu you can get a pair of the Energy RC-10 in Rosenut (which is a very nice looking finish) for $333.33 a pair. If you buy them in Black or Cherry it's $599.00 a pair. What's funny here, is whe...
