| Floor standing speakers under $1500.00 Check out Tekton speakers, Lore, Lore S, M Lore. I recently had a pair of the Pendragons (above your price range) in my system and was amazed! Especially for rock. Absolutely the best speakers I've ever had in my home, and I've owned a couple diff... | |
| Novice needs Mac Mini and DAC advice Check out the Empirical Audio website and his section at the Audio Circle forums. Lots of good info there. Also, the Computer Audiophile forums. | |
| Buying Fewer CD's & LP's Because of Pandora? Actually, I'm buying more. All of this online streaming is introducing me to music I've never heard before. I love it! | |
| Mark Levinson with Vandersteens? I've owned 2A Sigs and 3A Sigs. I've had very good luck with McCormack Amps with the SMc mods. My favorite amp for Vandys in MY system was a Belles 150A Reference. However, when I purchased the 3A Signatures, the owner was powering them with a Pas... | |
| First favorite tune I remember playing Sugar, Sugar by the Archies, over & over on my little fold out record player. I wasn't in kindergarten yet, so I must have been 4 or so. | |
| What should I be auditioning? If I didn't already have "way too many speakers" (according to my wife), I'd be all overthese.No affiliation, I just think that's a great deal. | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore Thanks! Waiting to sell the Dragons, then I'll order Lores. Even though the Dragons do not work, visually, in my room, I will definitely miss the sound. They are amazing! | |
| SB Touch...buh bye. Hello Android Media Box... Looks a lot like a Mac Mini to me. : ) Although at $99, it is a LOT cheaper.I recently sold my Squeezebox and switched to a Mac Mini setup for my music. Couldn't be happier. | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore Morganc-I'd like to hear your thoughts on why you prefer the single tweeter. In my room, the low end on the Dragons is AMAZING! It's just that they are so big, that they block part of our 106" screen. If not for that, I'd be keeping them.Sebrof-Th... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore Has anyone compared the Lore to the Pendragon? I have the Pendragon in my system now, and while I LOVE the sound, they are just too big for my setup. The 'dragons are up for sale and as soon as they sell, I plan to buy a pair of Lores. I'm hoping ... | |
| Seeking DAC $300 Musical Fidelity V-Dac. There are a few versions. I've seen the different versions at Crutchfield, Audio Advisor and Music Direct from about $99 - $300. I bought the newest V-Dac 24/192 from Music Direct on sale for $199. I was able to get better ... | |
| Reason for selling is... I list my reasons for selling, because that's almost always one of the first question I get asked. It's usually, "how old is it? Are you the original owner? Why are you selling it?" So I try to address all of those questions in my ad. | |
| Newbie building modest system ...what amp? I've owned 2ce's, 2ce Signatures and 3a Signatures. I'd look for a McCormack DNA .5 Absolutely perfect match for Vandersteens. You may be able to find a DNA 1.0 in your price range and it does have more power, but I've always found the DNA .5 to b... | |
| Belles Reference 150A or Reference 350A? I'm not familiar with your speakers, but I have owned both the Ref 150A & the Ref 350A. I was using them to drive Vandersteen 3A Signatures. The 350A obviously provides some extra power. Which was good, as the 3A Signatures are only 88db. But ... | |
| Changing the listener's ear position Although I do not dispute your claim, I draw the line at wearing one of those dog cones you get from the vet.Maybe I'm just immature(ok, I am). But this made me laugh out loud. |
