| Please Help Me Shorten My List This is for anyone who might be doing research online since it doesn't really interest anyone here. But the Vanatoo T1's are *not* comparable to the NAD 326BEE / PSB Alpha B1 setup. In my opinion, they aren't even close. While they don't sound bad... | |
| Please Help Me Shorten My List Thank you for your reply, Lewinskih01,My current set up is a combo desktop but my speakers are on floor stands. I use my Mac Mini and DAC (Creative Sound Blaster -- several years old now) to my 326BEE which then powers the Alpha B1's which are on ... | |
| How Would Actives Compare? Emotive 5S / KEF X300A I was able to audition the LS50's today at Ember's in Winston-Salem. Wow! Great speakers. Unfortunately, they did not have the X300A's in stock to audition. Might be hard to be happy with something less than the LS50's now. :) He did say the price... | |
| PSB or stick with vintage ADS Whoa! Ok, I already have to update my last post. I had originally placed the Alphas in my entertainment center area (over the fireplace). That means they were sitting in an enclosed area, as if on a bookshelf. So I broke out my speaker stands and ... | |
| PSB or stick with vintage ADS Well, I brought the PSB Alpha B1s home this evening, and I'm playing them now. Without getting into sonic detail, my "bottom-line, first impression" summary is this: They sound like they are a little smaller with similar quality, and, well, that's... | |
| PSB or stick with vintage ADS About the in-wall speaker idea -- I currently have an entertainment center/cutout over my fireplace, which is situated diagonally in the corner of the family room. There is wall space on both sides of the entertainment area in which I could instal... | |
| PSB or stick with vintage ADS PS to my last response -- I didn't mean to sound as though I ignored the suggestions given by everyone. I just realized I practically repeated my opening post in my last one. I'm going through the responses again to help determine what course I'd ... | |
| PSB or stick with vintage ADS Thanks for all of the good responses. Sorry I haven't been able to check back before now. It's true that I really enjoy these ADS speakers. I bought them off eBay back in 2002 and they are about as good condition as they were then, and had been we... | |
| PSB or stick with vintage ADS I did see the Image B5 as well, thanks, and will plan to audition them also. Unfortunately, none of the other brands are available through this store. He did mention something about Totems if I decided to go the in-wall route ... but I'm not sure ... | |
| PSB or stick with vintage ADS Thanks, Mceljo for the good reply. My local audio store sends emails with various specials and audio events they hold, so that's how I learned about and started researching the PSBs. I purchased an NAD integrated amp from them 2 years ago. The PSB... |
