| Suggestions for a monitor speaker Try the ACI Sapphires. Absolutely wonderful. Very musically enjoyable. Great company as well. One of the best audio purchases I've ever made | |
| Totem or B&W? ACI Sapphire. Slightly over your budget but they will take you to a whole other level. I've owned or auditioned many fine speakers from Thiels to B&Ws to Wilsons, etc. and the Sapphires are one of the most musically enjoyable speaker I've expe... | |
| Rocket Loudspeakers by Onix? Also check the AVS forum. There seems to be a rabid following there. I think there may also be some sort of club or service that helps people find an owner in their area. | |
| Anyone using the hsu VTF-2 subwoofer? I've heard the VTF-2 in a couple of setups. A very good value for HT for sure. To me, only acceptable for stereo but might be good enough for you. Like someone said, you might want to try a used one, not a lot invested that way, you get to see how... | |
| Adding a passive sub system Help. Why not active? You gain much flexibility in my book with an active sub system. The ability to fine-tune the level for one, the phase for one, and the crossover for three. . . . | |
| Best efficient speaker for the money. At least give the Conquest a listen. I've heard it sound verrry nice indeed! | |
| Sonus Faber Concertinos & 30watt tube integrated? From my listens to the Concertinos I'd say they might just be what you're after. Get a dealer to let you take home a pair of the weekend and see if they do it for you. Bet they will! | |
| Vienna Speakers: Compared to other Hi-end spks? I've heard Beethovens, Mahlers and Haydens in various systems. They may not throw a ton of detail in your face, but they certainly are quite musical. I'd try to setup a serious audition. | |
| B&W 804's Vs. Vienna Acoustic Beethoven I'm not a real big B&W fan. But what matters is what you like. The Viennas and the B&Ws are very different sounding speakers. If I had to pick, I'd definittely go with the Viennas. Also consider Aerial. | |
| Best CD tracks used to compare equipment? The keys are using music you love, you are very familiar with, and that has a wide variety of sonics. Any DMB of course! | |
| How to improve 2-channel performance in HT rig? Pat have you tried using any temporary acoustic absorbers over your RPTV? That big reflective surface only a foot behind the plane of your mains has a rather major effect. You might do a simple experiment of covering with thick layers of blankets.... | |
| Bright room, help I'd like to hear what improvement your found with your player. Here's a cheap one: have about a dozen or more of your friends park themselves around the room. Works for my just about everytime! | |
| HT Choice Aerial 10T or B&W N803? Others have made good observations. My own personal vote would go to the Aerials. I really like the 10Ts. As they have supposedly been discontinued perhaps you can get a bit of a "deal" from a dealer that would want to move what he has? |
