| Best Floorstander Under 10K? Thanks to everyone and keep the suggestions coming! I've researched a few of the lesser known brands and am happy to have widened my horizons. To those that suggest I keep the Harbeths--I hear you. If it were not for their unattractive appearance ... | |
| Best Floorstander Under 10K? Thanks Jphii. Over the past year I've slowly upgraded my entire system--except the speakers and thus the post. Current equipment, which I expect to keep for a good many years, includes:Audio Research 100.2Audio Research SP16 w phonoVPI Scout/JMW9/... | |
| Anyone Heard the DeVore Silverbacks? Prfont. Thanks for the thoughtful comments. I have set up a demo at Living Stereo and am looking forward to hearing the Silverbacks. I'd like to probe one of your comments a little more deeply--that there are a number of "great" speakers in that p... | |
| VPI Scoutmaster Hum Problem Solved How did you solve the problem? I'm sure there are a lot of Scout owners out there that may run into it at some point. Thanks. | |
| Audio Research 100.2 vs. 150.2 Thanks Dlwask and Gmele. Gmele, I'm curious upon what basis you caution against the 150.2. I know the amps are radically different in design, the 150.2 being a digital switching amp. This is, in part, what concerns me as I love the sound of the 10... | |
| Cost Effective Audio Research Combo Magnepanmike you are correct. The 100.2 is not a digital switching amp. As such it runs considerably hotter than the 150.2. That being said, my comparison of the two amps led me to purchase the 100.2. Absolutely fantastic amp. I'm running it with ... | |
| Your thoughts on this line up I would strongly suggest you include the Harbeth Compact 7. I don't think you will find a more musical loudspeaker. I've heard the Living Voice, Reference 3A and the Thiel 1.6. The best of these is the Reference 3A which begins to get at the integ... | |
| Cables with VPI Scout Thanks everyone. Raytheprinter, look forward to hearing your results. Meanwhile, I'll be looking into Discovery Cable. | |
| Cost Effective Audio Research Combo Thanks guys. Anyone have experience with the ARC 100.2? I'm thinking of that with the SP16. Can't do tube amp and need stuff that runs cool. Thoughts are appreciated. | |
| Tubes w/Harbeth Compact 7's I agree with Kkursula. Harbeths are NOT bright. | |
| Harbeth Compact 7's Rlmm:You may want to consider the Naim electronics for your Compact 7s. This combo is often recommended and used in the UK and my setup has provided some good tunes for the past several years. Depending on your budget, the new 150/112 would be a m... | |
| B&W Nautilus 801s vs. Wilson Audio Sophia? Wow! I always find it fascinating how differently people can respond to the same product. Bigpowerballs (win the lottery or something else?) found the Sophia's "The most analytical, COLDEST, uninvolving speakers ever made". I've listened to them e... | |
| wilson vs competitor battle demo I'm not going to comment on the demo showdown, although I would agree with some of the posters that system synergy is a very important variable. I have listenend extensively to the Wilson Sophia driven with quality but not outrageously expensive e... | |
| Any suggestions for a good speaker match for Naim Try the Harbeth line. Excellent match with the Naim stuff. | |
