Anyone here using vintage speakers?
I'm using some Altec 887a Capri's. I recently had to fix them because the magnet came apart. Overall they are decent ( except maybe lacking some treble. I like the fact that they use an 8" woofer instead of the typical wimpy 6 incher. 
How revealing are Grado sr-60s'?
Yes, there is a difference between my recordings, but it seems no matter what album I play im not satisfied. I even borrowed a few Diana Crawl cd's from my mom, along with other better recorded stuff, and im still not getting a good sound. Maybe ...

I'm used to listening to music on my MTX 12" 3 way tower speakers, and although the mids and highs suck on these, at least they have bass. In comparison the bass on the Grado's is anemic at best. Along with having no bass you have to really cran...

I was thinking of trying a pair of Sennheiser HD 580's to compare to the Grado's. I'm really trying to avoid bright speakers/headphones because they seem to really irritate me.

Yeah, I also own a pair of Sennheiser HD-201 (Cheeeeap $20 phones) and they do sound better balanced than the Grados...but they also sound pretty boring which I hear is their house sound. Maybe I need something inbetween these two.

What would make the grados not a good choice for the Toshiba? I dont really see how buying another cheap cdp is going to help.

I'm only 21 and have never been to a concert before. Maybe because im so young and my hearing is still good that these headphones sound bright to me. I bet to an older person with hearing damage bright speakers/electronics would sound normal sinc...

Yes, most of the music I listen to is some sort of rock, with about 25 percent classic rock- stuff like Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden and Metallica. I know these arent the best recordings, but shouldnt they at least sound somewhat smoother... 
Speaker for NAD C320BEE
The JMR Twins would also be another consideration. Iv'e read tons of good stuff about them and would love to hear them myself. If you get a chance to audition these please do and post your findings. 
Speaker for NAD C320BEE
I agree about DMC electronics, I bought a pair of Image 2b's there a few years back. They are the cheapest place for PSB Iv'e seen. I live in Buena Park so they were rather close to be. 
PSB Stratus Mini's
I haven't heard the VR-1, but two mini monitors under a grand id like to hear are the JMR Twins and Audio Note AX-Two. Ive also been hearing a lot about the Nola Mini's. It's really hard to say though considering i havent heard these speakers. A... 
PSB Stratus Mini's
I owned these speakers for about a year and sold them awhile back on this site for $460 . Iv'e also owned the Image 2b. The stratus minis were so much better than the image 2b's ( they had a terrible cabinet resonance that drove me crazy im guess... 
How do Adcom power amps sound?
Thanks for the input everyone , but i think i may just save up for awhile untill i can afford something like the Bryston 3bst. I want to get as much as an improvement as possible. 
Efficency- Low vs. Hi?
Danner, The midrange is actually MUCH too forward, anything with distorted guitar and/or yelling vocals is utterly unlistenable. Much too grainy ,harsh fatiguing whatever you wanna call it. This type of music takes up about 90% of my music collect... 
Efficency- Low vs. Hi?
Audiokinesis- THanks for the reply, I wasnt aware of the bass being able to go deeper with a less eff. design, and no , I wouldnt be bothered with a larager box. A larger box design would most likely what id look at it if i ended up selling these ...
