I just sold my Monitor Audio Gold 300s 5G. Spectacular speaker and great bottom end. I drove them with Hegel H590. They filled up a very large room, 15x25 Living, Dining area. So Im confused how you want these very large speakers at the end of you...

Dean Martin. Dreaming with Dean 45 RPM. Deep luscious voice that I could not believe Ho good he sounded.   
Mytek Brooklyn Bridge II
The summer specials add insult to injury. Can get BB2 only by purchasing the amp plus package. Michal has stopped responding to my emails. I don’t know what’s wrong but it does seem very grave.   
Mytek Brooklyn Bridge II
Mytek in Brooklyn should be able to fix it and as I see refurbished ones for sale on the Mytek website, I assume they take them in trade. Sorry to hear about your experience.   
what are your top "audio bargins" in your system history?
I bought a new pair of Thiel 2.7 when they were clearing out the a- stock after their closing was announced. Nearly 75% off, they were the stunning birdseye maple.  probably the most beautiful wood finish I’ve ever owned. Even my kids were impress... 
What speakers work with low wattage class A amps
The Harbeths as a group are very efficient and a favorite among the Harbeth users. I have 2 pair of p3 xd and 30.2 demo if you might be interested. Don  
Can recommend some non-fatigue SMALL bookshelf for near-field listening?
When I first heard the Harbeths, it stopped me dead in my tracks.  liked them so much, when I became a Mytek dealer, I added them for the small footprint. Add a pair of Skylan stands for a reasonable cost if you need them. The P3esr xd has gone t... 
Ready For Digital Source...Computer?

No Insurance with FEDEX as of 11/01
I had a pair of Harbeth speakers shipped via FedEx to Canada. They left perfect including the original factory boxes and arrived looking like one had been dropped on a corner, irreparably damaged. FedEx initially denied the claim, but a quick look... 
Is $2,844 too much to pay for a fuse?
Lest we forget, a fuse blows and with it goes a lot of $$$.A big problem can be really expensive…….even more so with these fuses.  
VINYL SUCKS!
It's a matter of opinion. But I will say the new vinyl ordinary releases, ie sold at Target, etc, don't sound as good as the older vinyl quite probably because we are being duped by Vinyl made from digital masters. The premium vinyl, like Dino on ... 
looking for a Integrated amp $6,000 range
Hegel is a really top grade amp, comes with a DAC, which is audiophile grade, and the headphone amp is in many models, the amp output. Plenty of analog and digital inputs. I own both the h190 and h590 in my two systems. Playing into the Dynaudio e... 
VPI new turntable- Prime 21
Tablejockey no. My company is a Grado dealer, so I picked the sonata 3. Anybody have any opinions about a phono stage? I have a Hegel h590 but no phono section. Looking forward to it. The cart is an AT designed specially for VPI.  
VPI new turntable- Prime 21
I just received a prime 21 but haven’t opened the box yet. I haven’t owned a vpi in a while, but this thing weighs a ton!
