| Really need some help finding a full range speaker The Soul Supremes mentioned earlier. They will ship them and you can listen.

| Speaker stand spikes ~2” long? Tom, I have sets of Sistrum platforms and while I will say they had a positive effect under Zu Definition !V speakers, the ability to move the speakers became problematic. The platforms’ Audio Points were difficult to adjust for stability undernea... | |

| What am I missing? Pre/power gain and input sensitivity. I’m a prime example of what Ralph has stated above. For about 6 years I owned a well thought of phono pre and just thought the tics and pops were part of the vinyl. Couldn’t believe the difference and improvement when changing phono preamp.

| Different Tubes and general purpose? Just read the Uncle Doug's explanation, thanks. Gunners, while this forum will give many points of view and numerous prescriptions for getting that midrange that you are looking for it will come down to trial and error. Getting the balance of freq... | |
| Are big subwoofers viable for 2 channel music? I have a pair of REL 212s, main speakers with their own powered subwoofers. So far the best sub position has been to place them just a bit beside the listening position, slightly to the rear. Without one of the various room measurement programs ev... | |
| More Dynamic Speakers Than Vienna Acoustic IMO your'e either looking at Klipsch or Zu. Your setup screams for high efficiency speakers. As often for most of us, getting what you want within a price point is the rub. Zu Soul Supremes probably fit your system but they rarely show up for sale... |
