| How loud can I 'safely' play my Dynaudio Focus 140 I would say as long as the speakers aren't sounding compressed or distored, then you're probably OK playing them as loud as you do, for as long as you like. The only other advice I would give, is to make sure you have a powerful enought amp for yo... | |
| How would you run an audio salon? Since we're all dreaming here. If I was do something like setting up an Audio Salon, I would approach it more as a hobby, and not as something that my livelyhood and retirement would depend on. Basically it would be a retirement business, and woul... | |

| Speakers for Modest Tube System Appreciate everybodies suggestion, and I'm certainly going to look into some them. Learsfool,The Klipsch Heresey was one of the vintage speakers, along with the Large Advent, that I was interested in. Back in the '70s I always enjoyed listening to... | |
| Spendor BC1 .....or other than that, you might see if there someone in your area who is experienced in sucessfully, and carefully removing (and replacing) grills from speakers like the Spendor BC1. That way you (or they) can check the drivers, and you can res... | |
| Spendor BC1 If it was me, I might reconsider making the sell. I can certainly understand a buyer wanting to know the drivers condition, but when you got speakers who's grill and cabinet are very difficult to remove to check the drivers, then you're risking da... | |
| What is CDE ?? Biem / stemra ??? If you can play the disc on your computer, why don't you burn a copy and see if that works in your others CDPs. | |
| soliloquy 6.5 speaker parts Solilogy is out of business. As for a replacement speaker you might want to contact Madisound and see if they carry a replacement. Other than that you might want to do a little research and see if the speakers that Solilogy used were bought from a... | |

You read your post and it's somewhat contradicts itself. You're saying that tube amps have a "bloated soun... | |
| tube cd player with solid state amp and preamp Chamleon,Agree with Newbee, that while a tube CDP will add some tube warmth to your system, to get a true tube sound, you're going to need a tube amp. If I was you I would be looking for a used tube integrated amp (check audiogon listings), and ad... | |

| whats a good older hdcd cd player? Flyin2jz,You might want to look at the NAD C542 CDP, which is an upgraded version of the NAD C541. Matter of fact, I'll probably be listing my NAD C542 on the Audiogon sales pages in the next few days as I recently purchased a Jolida JD-100. I wil... | |
