| Long run XLR cables My only attempt was a 25' run XLR, inexpensive from Amazon, I returned them. Used long RCA's, sounded great. IOW, we are not backstage with many sources of potential problems, we do not have a real need for XLR, I suggest you try long RCA, just t... | |
| Buying Used Speakers 1. try to find something near enough to go, inspect, listen, which saves shipping cost and shipping risk. Patience, wait, or, rare new listing, jump on it. 2. ask questions in writing, thru the system they are listed in i.e. reverb; us audio mart... | |

| Best for Classic/Progressive Rock and Blues seems the 500 is similar 3 way, 12", level controls: except the 1000 have beryllium tweet/mid. replacing berylilium drivers could be hard and expensive, the ns-500m with conventional materials might be the better choice. 1000 is 8 ohms, sensitivi... | |
| Best for Classic/Progressive Rock and Blues Audiophile respect? probably not, I’ve never heard them, but check out reviews of these. I am a BIG fan of level controls to adjust them for your space, and these drivers are large enough for your space. yamaha ns1000 review just popped ... | |
| Best for Classic/Progressive Rock and Blues you are correct, the thiel 1.6 cannot do what you need, and especially in that size space. In your budget, you need to buy used, and close enough to avoid shipping, close enough to meet the seller half-way, or you go and audition them, yay or nay... | |

| The receiver was my intro to HiFi! What say you? My Garage/Shop system was driven by this wonderful Tandberg 2080. my friend Wayne at Harvey's told me when it was hitting the used shelf. The connectors in the back pulled out, mostly my fault tugging in tight space. |
