| need amp advice Don't take this wrong (can you see the insult coming? I don't mean to), but you can spend all the money you want on an amp, but your Yamaha is gonna' suck the life right out of the music. Trust me. I thought that I could get by using an old NAD in... | |
| Subwoofer ratings by Widescreen Review mag Great information. Sdcampbell, you mention that there are others that were rated highly by Stereophile but not by WR. I'd be very interested to know some of those since I don't subscribe to WR. Maybe you could list some of the highlights that real... | |
| Isn't this a site dedicated to audio/video Couldn't agree more. It's bad enough to see the occasional 6X9 listed under speakers, but at least the seller can claim ignorance. But, to try and hawk non audio-related merchandise (at an outrageous markup, to boot) is ridiculous. Please AudiogoN... | |
| need help with a subwoofer I don't have any experience with the REL, but I DID recently own a HSU TN-1225HO with the HSU 250 watt amp. I used it with a pair of Platinum Audio Solos. Not dissimilar to the Tylers inasmuch as the bass output was already quite good compared to ... | |
| Need help choosing preamp Great suggestions, thus far. I used a Sonic Frontiers SFL-1 which I bought used from Jeff at Jeff's Sound Values. I had it for about two-and-a-half years and it was wonderful! It was accompanied by components similar to yours, Acoustat TNT-200 sol... | |
| Best speakers for 2000-USED Nobody has answered your question, Say811, so I'll give it a try. I have listened to all of these speakers and each is VERY different from the other. The VR-4's, as you may know use a rear-firing dipolar tweeter. The model "VR" stands for "virtual... | |
| Best speakers for 2000-USED Fiddler, the topic is best speakers for 2000-USED! When I refer to buying locally, I'm talking about from a private party, not a dealer - necessarily. You said it yourself, the Newforms are rarely seen in the used market. If you think that's becau... | |
| Good amp for Thiel 3.2's ? Familiar with the CS3's, 3.5's and 3.6's, but what's the 3.2?? | |
| Bookshelf Speakers For 350 Or Less?? new & used Used - Spica TC50; New - PSB Alpha Mini, NHT Super One, Paradigm Titan | |
| Best speakers for 2000-USED If you decide to return the Newforms, however, you will have effectively paid shipping costs both ways (not cheap), whereas if you buy something used you can almost always sell it for the same as you paid (unless you buy something obscure and hard... | |
| Is the Adcom GTP-750 any good? Settle down there Mikey boy! Abe made an honest mistake. Besides, if anyone was in error it was Mtalk for posting an HT question in the amps and preamps discussion group. He should be asking his question in the "Home Theater" discussion area. So e... | |
| Amp suggestions Levinson 23.5 can be found used for a touch over 2K. I can't imagine ever needing much more. Bi-amping or bridging with another Odyssey is also a good idea that's very cost-effective. The Dynaudios are fantastic speakers that deserve to be "fed" b... | |
| Best speakers for my system/taste/budget? Some OUTSTANDING recommendations, thus far. I have to agree about the Spica TC-50's. These things throw a soundstage unlike anything in this price range. I'm often tempted to buy a pair. The TC-60's "improved" upon the TC-50's with deeper bass (a ... | |
| sonicfrontiers pre-amps reliable or not? I can't speak to the reliability of the newest stuff, but I owned and SFL-1 which I purchased used for over three years and it performed flawlessly. And, believe you me, it got A LOT of use. My wife stays at home and would often leave music on ALL... | |
| Best speakers for 2000-USED The Merlins probably wouldn't be a good match for his electronics. With a 90+db sensitivity, his Citation amp would make gain adjustments VERY sensitive. Also, he specified his budget to be $2000. Even if he could find a pair for such a low price,... |
