| How to couple my monitors to stands??? Geez, Ed! I was looking for some FRIENDLY advice, not a rant about why I'm an idiot for not paying $500+ for a pair of stands. To put it into perspective, the difference in price was considerably more than $200 when you consider that the Osiris st... | |
| 200w/ch stereo amps: best 1 for under 2000 used? The sound-level at the "other end of the room" is not necessarily relevant. It's the total "volume" (Cubic Feet) of the room that needs to be pressurized and filled with sound.If you're considering the EAD five-channel amp, I would also suggest th... | |
| Krell KAV-250a: good? vs. Bryston 4B ST at price? The bottom is falling out of the market on the Krell KAV's. It's definitely "Krell-lite". I'm not bashing either, but I just don't think that the KAV-250 is in the same league as the Bryston. The Bryston is warmer, richer, better-built, etc.At $2K... | |
| 200w/ch stereo amps: best 1 for under 2000 used? Sean is right. You're gonna' need a LOT of power. Probably more than you may think. If you're in love with your speakers and don't want to get something that's more efficient, you may also want to consider the Sunfire Signature (600 watts X 2). Th... | |
| Monitor speakers - choices to narrowed down to... I'll second Jeffloistarca regarding stands. No matter which of these terrific monitors you choose, you'll absolutely need a pair of high-quality stands factored into the equation.I posted a thread a few weeks ago which was very similar. I just mov... | |
| Monitors are falling Good idea, Subaruguru! I owned a pair of Platinum Solos which were bolted to their sand-filled stands. Total weight of approximately 80lbs per speaker. My first child grew up with them (age 0-3) and they NEVER came close to tipping.Teach children ... | |
| Best speakers for a small room? 10'X14' Thought I'd post an update. Was thinking very seriously about the TC-50's, but only found one posting for a pair here on AudiogoN and the seller never replied to my message. Plus the condition of them was not very good which made me hesitant to be... | |
| Best Cheap, Small, High Sensitivity Speakers Triangle Acoustique Titus - Rated at 90db. Very easy load.Also, Soliloquy SM-2A3, specifically designed for SET, recommended amp power is 3-25 watts. 10ohm speakers. A bit higher than the $1,000 mark, but a pair just sold here on AudiogoN for $850... | |
| Best speakers for a small room? 10'X14' Any of you guys looking to sell your Spicas??? The soundstage that they throw is addictive! I guess the reason that I mentioned the rear port is that I had a pair of Platinum Audio Solos that had to be VERY far from the rear wall because of the am... | |
| Best speakers for a small room? 10'X14' Thanks everybody. There are some great suggestions so far, some of which I'm familiar with and others that I've been researching as you recommend them.I've always had a fondness for the Spica's and have often thought about buying them just because... | |
| Best speakers for a small room? 10'X14' After I posted this, I noticed an ad for a demo pair of Magnepan MG12's for $800. Would they work in my small room? How do they sound compared to the 1.6QR (which I like very much, btw)??Thanks again. | |
| cambridge or nad preamp All good advice. Used is definitely your way to go. You can pickup a used Anthem Pre1L for $395 on the AudiogoN right now (unless it's been sold already). Lots of great stuff for under $500, virtually all better than the Cambridge or NAD. Plus, by... | |
| need amp advice I don't know if you've purchased the Soliloquy 5.3's yet, but you may want to think really hard about them based on what you've said about frequent moving and the fiance' not being very understanding of having loudspeakers 4' out in her living roo... | |
| Is my dealer lying to me? So, Natalie, what I think I hear you saying is...Junk in is junk out. Your position on the topic is abundantly clear.Here's my two-cents. Just as others have said, balance (synergy) is the most important factor in a music system. A $2K (or $20K fo... |
