| Speaker to mount in a bookcase - up to $2000 (somewhat long) My local hifi shop looked at my bookcase and room pictures along with the measurements, and recommended the B&W 682 since they are front-ported. I listened to them alongside a pair of Paradigms and one other bookshelf speaker and I went with... | |
| Improve volume from turntable with a new cartridge? Update: I cleaned the (built-in to the turntable) RCA connections at the pre-amp end with Caig De-Oxit (I use it on my motorcycle electrical connections) and now there is less of a volume discrepancy between the turntable and the CD.Also, I have f... | |

I took a closer look at the cartridge and then at th... | |
| Speaker to mount in a bookcase - up to $2000 (somewhat long) nycjlee, do you mean for the sub-woofer or for the bookshelf speakers (or all three)? | |
| Speaker to mount in a bookcase - up to $2000 (somewhat long) For now I guess I might be, but I intend to upgrade the CD player and turntable soon. I already swapped out the old receiver for a Music-Hall integrated amp. I'm thinking about the Music-Man CD player / DAC combination, and also a Music-Man t... | |
| Speaker to mount in a bookcase - up to $2000 (somewhat long) Thanks to all for your replies. After a visit to the listening room of my local hi-fi store I came home with a pair of B&W 686 S2 speakers, a Music-Hall A15.3 integrated amp and a JL Audio Dominion powered sub-woofer.I am happy with the sou... |
