Monitor Audio Pl 300ii vs. KEF Reference 5 I am about ready to return the Monitor Audio Pl300ii speakers to the dealer who lent them. While they have many virtues, such as the mellow, deep sound I described earlier, overall I prefer the KEF Reference 5s. The KEFs do produce the holograph... | |
Monitor Audio Pl 300ii vs. KEF Reference 5 Dan,My speakers are 26 inches from the rear wall and 32 inches from one side wall, 44 inches from the other (for waf and aesthetic reasons). I may experiment with moving them equidistant from the side walls. They are slightly toed in but I’m als... | |
Monitor Audio Pl 300ii vs. KEF Reference 5 The speakers are in front of the short wall. The room has a large area rug and two large upholstered sofas which are parallel to each of the long walls plus two upholstered chairs which face the speakers . Behind one of the speakers are two door... | |

Classical music on demand? Thanks again for all the sources for streaming classical music. I have another dumb question. I have a Windows desktop PC in one room and my audio system in another. I use an iPad and iPhone to control my current Naim Unitiserve. There is no pra... | |
Classical music on demand? Thanks! My Naim Unitiserve allows you to rip CDs onto its hard disc and access them with an iPad, phone, etc. it’s wired to a DAC but can be controlled wirelessly using an app. It also streams internet radio from all over the world. I’m lookin... | |
KEF Reference 5-Isoacoustics GAIA? D2girls-if there were a rule about off topic posts then you would be gone too!I was hoping for some advice about using the Gaias with my KEF Reference 5 speakers. Instead, this has turned more into rants about dealers, who should post where, and ... | |
New KEF Reference 5 speakers Thanks for all the input. Stereo5, while I get your advice, I’m inclined to wait. The speakers are several months old and aren’t going to depreciate much more than they have already over the months to come. I’m listening to them every day. As ... | |
New KEF Reference 5 speakers Thanks for bringing this discussion back on topic. I am liking the Reference 5s more as I listen to them over longer periods. Don’t known if the speakers are still breaking in, whether I am getting used to their sound or (probably) a combination... | |
New KEF Reference 5 speakers I’m the original poster. The hostility of some people here is very disturbing. We’re talking about a hobby which is supposed to be fun! Audiotroy I for one appreciate your input. D2girls, chill out. Let’s try to be civil and enjoy ourselves.... | |
New Rega Planar 6 Thanks. Very Interesting. This problem has not occurred with my Planar 6. Fortunately, Rega turntables come with a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects, as you my know, so hopefully the guy who encountered the sagging problem was able... | |
New Rega Planar 6 My dealer originally recommended the Planar 3 as the one to get. However, if you factor in the cost of the Planar 3 and the $400 extra power supply (which is not included), it comes to only $100-200 less than the Planar 6, which includes the powe... | |
New Rega Planar 6 Just to clarify— the Rega P6 was replaced recently by the Planar 6. The Planar 6 has multiple improvements including a better tonearm, platter, “plinth” and power supply. Before the upgrade, the less expensive Planar 3, which came out a while ago... | |
New Rega Planar 6 It’s a little early for me to compare the sound of the WT and Rega since I’ve only had the Rega for one day. The WT had several issues—all the adjustments could be a good thing if they were done correctly but I really didn’t understand them and ... | |
Wow moments while listening to vinyl records Jsm71-which Stardust lp are you referring to? There’s the original issue, a Mobile Fidelity reissue and perhaps some others. I’d like to buy one to hear what you describe but would appreciate knowing which one. |
