Ben, I'd love to hear updates as you break in the Fried's. Feel free to contact me off the thread. 
Help I've Been Robbed
Thanks everyone---I decided to go with a Rotel integrated and cd changer. I think he will be pleased to have his music back. 
best high sensitivity full range speak under 15k
Ooops, I forgot to add....I'll be hearing the Daedalus DA-1 over the holidays. It would fall into this catagory at 96db efficient and from what I've heard I may be in for a treat. If anyone is still following the thread I will chime in after heari... 
best high sensitivity full range speak under 15k
Bgpowell. I agree fully with your description of the bass with the Studio 7. Tight, full and fast--better than much of what I've heard out there. I never was able to get a good enough demo to evaluate the midrange and highs. I'd be curious as to y... 
Harbeth Monitor 30 vs. Dynaudio Special 25
I second Tomryan. I would add that with the Creek you would be better off with the M30's. 
Sonus Faber Cremona I need input on this
Onhwy61 has a point. My friend has Proac Response 3's driven by Audio Research tube equipment and he gets VERY good results. I'm not sure if the Cremona's are really a step up or more of a lateral move toward warmth and glow. The Proacs are pretty... 
Sonus Faber Cremona I need input on this
I extensively auditioned the Cremona and found it to be warm, smooth and pretty dynamic. They have a very spacious sound when positioned well out into the room. Bass response is impressively deep, but not as tuneful as I would have liked. My major... 
Just moved - sound destroyed
Loose--your dilemma gets at the heart of what most fail to consider when building a system--the role of the room. In my 25 years in audio I've moved at least 10 times and each time the system was transformed (for good or ill) by the new surroundin... 
Great Album Purchases of 2005
I'll jump in....Aimee Mann "Lost in Space" MFSL has seen alot of spins.Lucinda "Live at the Fillmore" is a great live recording with a "you are there" feel.Jesse Sykes and the Sweet Hereafter "Reckless Burning" Dark, brooding and intense.Monk and ... 
Harbeth C7 vs Proac D25 Review
Well, I've now logged two weeks with the D25's and they are growing on me. I just spun Lucinda Williams "Live at the Fillmore" and I have to say that the bass response of the these speakers is quite amazing. Tremendous depth and weight for such a ... 
Harbeth C7 vs Proac D25 Review
Nathan. Tubes aside, I am in total agreement with you. My whole point is that the D25's are more accurate than the Harbeths and therefore when the recording has "glare" so does the sound. My only question is whether, for me, accurate is better sin... 
Wilson Benesch Curves
Thanks Phil. I'm curious--did you have the chance to compare the Curves with the larger ACTs? Perhaps you could share your thoughts about the Curves in greater detail--I'd be interested in the size of the room and how they are working for you in t... 
Thoughts On The PMC OB1?
Thanks Alun. I really appreciate you sharing your thoughts on this thread even though it has been idle for a while. I agree completely with what you have said. I got a chance to hear the OB1 and agree that, to my tastes, it is overly analytical. I... 
Daedalus Audio DA-1
Jccornilson. I'm curious--can you elaborate on what you hear in the DA-1's? When you say "laid back unrealistic sound" I'm wondering what that means to you. Most of the speakers I've heard in my search are unrealistic because they lack the warmth ... 
ARC and Audience: Perfect Together?
Thanks folks. Bigkidz, which ARC stuff did you run with the Audience?
