| Best cheap speaker cables............again Since cables interact differently with each component, I'd say that there really can't be an answer per say, just like anything else in audio. make a list and try to get some loaners to see what you like best in your system and where. | |
| Got the upgrade bug I've found that $1000 of vinyl is still much better than the same priced digital. I am selling off my TT/cart and albums as I don't have room for them and with MS, it's just easier using digital, but I LOVE analog best still and I've heard some 10... | |
| Need suggestions on bookshelf speaker upgrades Floor standing aren't aways better. It completely depends on the speaker. I have heard tons of monitors sound better than their floorstanding brethren. I'm sure I'm not the only one who will say that. I do like full range better, but floorstanding... | |
| Ayre & Vandersteen I have heard both on the Vandy Treo's along with Music Hall DAC and AQ cabling throughout. The AX 5 is worlds better, but it's also a lot more money. If money isn't a problem, then I would get the 5 in a heartbeat. I think all Ayre products sound ... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Stringreen, I completely agree with you. That's the biggest reason I decided to shop around to as many stores as I could when deciding to sell off everything I have put together over the years and start from scratch. By selling off all my stuff it... | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE There are many reasons folks hang onto speakers for life. Money is a huge thing. Just because there are advances in tech, often the gains aren't worth the price of admission. Also, the speakers are only as good as the system and room they are in. ... | |
| So you've just heard speakers that blew you away I have never heard the Salk speakers. Don't think there are any dealers in my area. I've heard good things about them. Are they first order xovers? Don't know much about them. I have liked some of the Joseph audio speakers I've heard in the past, ... | |
| Ayre & Vandersteen I have the Ayre integrated and it's the best amp I've had in my system. I have quicksilver silver mono's that I ran with the full function Quick pre and they sounded AWESOME with Vandy's. They are typical tube gear and they are high current and so... | |
| So you've just heard speakers that blew you away We all know the room plays a big part, but a great system should sound great in any decent room. I think I'm just not getting what I want out of most systems I've heard in the last year other than the systems that Vandy's have been in. I have like... | |
| Got the upgrade bug Not sure if you are interested or where you live, but I'm selling off a great Quicksilver full function integrated and Silver Mono's that give up high current 90 tube watts. Im also selling off a floor standing Proac Super Towers that completely d... | |
| Need suggestions on bookshelf speaker upgrades Wow, what a rude person and response. 90% or more of the folks on here speak highly of their systems that they own or are about to own. I guess I do the same. I also talk about some products I hear along the way that I also like. Sneaking and untr... | |
| Large Room which speakers? How many of you guys will use a sub with a non full speaker? From reading and hearing, they only time I've ever heard a set of subs set up and really be coherent is with a set of full range speakers. I have a sub with some monitors for my second s... | |
| kimber silver streak vs Audioquest colorado I was going to get the AQ colorado XLR for DAC to Ayre AX7e, but then went with Lapis upgrade. The dealer sells AQ and Kimber. The AQ to me is the most neutral cable I've used and I had all MIT before that (higher end lines). I've used some Kimber... | |
| No binding post a good idea? My Quicksilver silver mono's use strips to screw the wire/spades to. The Vandy's use the same type of connector. They do work better and are very easy to use. I love the Cardas Clamping system on my Ayre. It's just one screw for both wires and it ... | |
| Need suggestions on bookshelf speaker upgrades Alex, I'm truly sorry that I've upset you. I can understand why as you love your product and have passion for it. That's a great thing and something that is missing in society as a whole. I'm sorry that I haven't responded sooner, but I'm travelin... |
