| Up to $4500 burning a hole in my pocket For $4500 a Vandersteen unless a model 5 should not be a consideration. The 3A would be a downgrade IMO from a GE Triton One. Consider a KEF 205/2, $4500 might not be enough but desperate sellers exit! Except for the bottom octave the 205/2 is nea... | |

| Bladelius-Thor mk3/Leema-Tucana 2/Norma IPA-140? Sonicbeauty-Thx for the mini review! | |
| 2.0 Stereo speakers on a $2000 budget? I would recommend a "tower" speaker since your room is large enough which enables you to avoid the cost of speaker stands. The Silverline Prelude Plus would be my first choice, with some patience a used pair will pop up. JBL has the Studio 580/590... | |
| Bladelius-Thor mk3/Leema-Tucana 2/Norma IPA-140? Sonicbeauty thx for the response. The Norma first caught my attention due to the build quality and being a true dual-mono design. My only caveat was it's not a true balanced design. In a review the designer claimed the XLR inputs were just there f... | |
| Favorite guitar players not named...... Many names mentioned are known by the casual "mainstream" music crowd. Many music lovers would know and respect the following but are IMO still overlooked or unknown.Vito BrattaGlen BuxtonPaul GilbertEric JohnsonFrank MarinoRickey MedlockeGary Moo... | |
| Power conditioner help Inna- The bottom line is many companies do not want to recommend other products because there not paid salesman. A few years back I was interested in a Coda CSI- B and Doug was not able or willing to discuss any synergy with a KEF- 205/2Being an ... | |
| speaker and interconnects, how nice do I need I would look for a "fast' slightly forward/engaging cables to help balance your system. I would look at the Signal Cable Silver Resolution line. | |
| Would owning Hoover Dam improve the midrange? Great point-darkj. The truth is mainstream people accept the expense of a vehicle that is disproportionate with income and wealth. How many people driving a $60k Suburban can logically afford it? Many of these people would sneer at a $2k suit-fine... | |
| Looking for an upgrate from Cronus Magnum IMO it's harder to integrate a subwoofer into a system then to properly match an amp to speaker. Of the amps you mentioned the Krell Vanguard is a good starting point, it's claimed(have not demoed the Vanguard) to be a solid improvement over previ... | |
| fm tuner Consider a NAD S400. Demoed one over a decade ago but still remember the balanced/organic black background of this near reference tuner. This one flies under the radar. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Nutty-Great post-Slayer-Seasons in the Abyss is IMO opinion the best Slayer recording. Not one weak song on the album which includes several of the best. Easily a top 25 all time metal recording!!! I will have to take a pass on Jason Aldean. | |
| Opinion on Yamaha Amps The Yamaha MX-1 has been my favorite budget(<$1k) power amp for over a decade. The A-S2000 is an excellent value int. amp, the current 2100/3000 might be better but I have not heard either and there much more costly. FWIW the A-S2000 works very... | |
| What is your go-to online place to buy physical medium of music? And why? Elusive Disc for vinyl and CD Japan for digital. Both ship fast and place a high value on customer service. | |
| Best Sounding Classic Rock Cd's I agree with many of the comments posted. Heart for reasons unknown to me(maybe they did know a "Magic Man") produced very good recordings. Not familiar with Heart-Heart(1985 and later recordings), Billy Idol's earlier recordings sound good to my ... |
