| AM/FM set up for office Polk iSonic should be considered. | |
| Best integrated amp tube or hybrid up to $7000? Speakers and room size would be important in determining your amplifier needs. | |
| AR3 speakers what is best finish walnut or blonde? Original is oiled walnut | |
| Does High End In Wall Speaker Wire Exist? I've seen MIT in wall speaker wire. | |
| Best way to clean speakers Swifter Duster is impregnated with chemicals, and is oily. I would not use it on a speaker cone. | |
| Vintage Amps - Pleasantly surprised I have not found a better sounding amp than my Mapleshade modified HH Scott 220c integrated. My room is 12x12x9, and I don't listen loud, but I can drive my Harbeth C7's to deafening levels. | |
| Audio Racks - Steve Blinn, Core Audio, Adona I am very happy with a Mapleshade Samson.It is solid and very well built. They will custom configure, and stain the wood to your request. Information is on the Mapleshade website. | |
| Damn Apple..a fence sitter's dilemma MBP=Mac Book Pro | |
| Nearfield Upgrade? Compact 7's are great speakers and a good match for your LFD. IMO, probably too big (and tall) for nearfield desktop listening. P3's with a REL sub next to your desk would be my choice. I would be sure to decouple them from the desk with something... | |
| Recommendations for a used Receiver The Sony ES receivers are very well built. If you don't need HDMI and the latest decoding, they can be purchased in the $300-$500 range. The earlier models such as 777ES, and 4ES sound very nice. | |
| Speakers for Leben CS 300XS Harbeth C7ES3.Unless you have a very large room, don't worry about the low power, or the speakers sensitivity. | |
| How can anyone afford this ? Time is what you need. Buy good used equipment on Audiogon, and slowly trade up. Don't overspend to the point that you have to sell at a loss to pay bills. I would think you may have spent many thousands, and don't have anything to show for it.DG | |
| Go for sub or larger speakers? I just upgraded to REL B3, and I can't believe how well it integrates with Harbeth C7ES3s. | |
| Integrated amplifier recommendations, Please You are definitely on the right track.You will want to take into consideration present and future speakers, but NAD will work for many speakers. You will obviously get more power for your $500 if you buy used. | |
