| Suggestions for small shelf sytem.... I just went through this. I ended up with a music hall Trio. The Arcam had a few more features but was double the price. The Linn is "quirky" to say the least-good unit though.On the budget side, NAD and Rotel make respectable units also.Word has ... | |
| What can I drive w/ the 8wpc Air Tight 300B amp? Coincident Partial Eclipse will be amazingly loud off of 8wpc. | |
| More speaker or more power You will have to at least double your wattage to notice an increase (only 3db gain).How about a sub? Bass is what drains the power. By incorporating a crossover and good sub you will notice a huge increase in sound. | |
| childproofing rear speakers 1-I would put something on top of the radiator or under the speaker to block the heat if you are that close. Veneer will delaminate over time.2-Velcro is a great invention. It may discolor a patch either on the rear or underneath the speaker but s... | |
| Devotion to 2Ch/MC? I have both! Depends on my mood. Tell you what though, Pink Floyd in multi-channel is nothing like I've ever heard on 2 channel. While James Taylor on multi channel sounds "weird". | |
| childproofing rear speakers Kids will harm more than you think. They pull off grills, claw at the grills, push in dust caps on drivers...Imagine anything a 20 pound cat can do to your speakers!Ikea has the right idea: Their anti-topple device is a simple strap screwed to the... | |
| Dedicated Home Theater/Listening Room Suggestions Personally, I think you will need multiple circuits run just due to the requirements of you amps. You will be using some kind of line conditioner anyway. Also, I would put a whole house surge protector in your box. It won't replace the conditioner... | |
| Center speaker for Carver ALIII + speakers Carvers have a ribbon tweeter. What else uses a ribbon? Magnepan? Anything else? Maybe Red Rose but quite pricey. | |
| DAC questions? What processor is in the Acurus? 18bit, 20bit? You would want to move up in technology I would think. That means finding a 24/96 DAC or better. The Aragon is nice but older? Do you want tubes?I would start with something like a mid level MSB and s... | |
| Best vintage Marantz receivers? Great receivers. Even the sound in the smaller ones (2216) was great. Plenty of power at 16 watts.However, I would try to find one of the models with pre-amp outputs. This allows some more flexibility.The tuner section is awesome.Consider old Sans... | |
| Follow Up On TV Querry For 2007 Purchase...... Do you plan on using a 1080 source all of the time? You may want to compare them in the store with your own dvd and maybe even a non high def local channel. | |
| Horns vs Ribbons vs Dyanamic A lot depends on your amp.Planers and other panels suck up the wattage.Maggies like 200 plus watts, while horns are usually happy with 2 watts...That may change your outlook? | |
| 3 way vs. 2 way Less can be better...Some single driver speakers are amazing-LowtherLess drivers means less complicated crossovers (usually).Some multi driver units are phenomenal also-Pipedreams | |
| Good low-price cartridge for listening to rock. I like the goldring but might be too expensive for you.How about a shure m97 | |
| Integrated amp with internal DAC? Music Hall Mambo or Maven. No USB though. |
