Bookshelf Speakers - Musical Fidelity A300 & Rock
Should the little tweaks(replacing jumpers, removing grills, toe-in) not work out for you, at the $800 range, I'd suggest checking the Paradigm Studio 20 V3. If you could swing a little more, maybe check the Von Schweikert Audio VR1 ($1000), altho... 
Bookshelf Speakers - Musical Fidelity A300 & Rock
Forgot to mention:Check out Von Schweikert Audio VR-1 monitor speakers. Very VERY impressive indeed.Also, I use a lot of the Buena Vista Social Club tracks to kind of calibrate my ears and my system...As well as Miles Davis "Kind of Blue"(isn't th... 
Bookshelf Speakers - Musical Fidelity A300 & Rock
Slate1 I own a pair of LSi15s and at first I thought the tweeter was kind of laid back too. Then I removed the grills, gave them so toe-in, and replaced the flat jumpers with some quality ones(Maybe you already tried all this), and bingo, it was p... 
Jazz Recommendations
Check Out David Sanchez's CD titled "Obsesion" David Sanchez's CD titled "Travesia"...I'd also recommend Arturo Sandoval's "Trompet Evolution"... 
Which 3K CDP: Simaudio Nova, Ayre CX-7 Wadia 302
Mdp0430You bring up an interesting point(keeping the equipment for a long time). That was another reason why I went with the Simaudio Nova LE. They have a 10 year warranty on the electronics on that player. That, is hard to beat. I intend on keepi... 
Whatever happened to REAL "owners manuals" ???
I own a Perreaux Radiance R200i integrated amp. The owners manual for it is REALLY informative. Granted I've only had a few pieces of audio equipment in my life, but I'd say by far this is the most complete owners manual I've seen...As far as mass... 
SimAudio Nova/Eclipse owners: IC of your choice?
Have you tried Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Cabling??I have the Interconnects, and I'm thinking about getting the speaker cables(if I ever get a good deal on them). Anyway I'm very impressed with the ICs. They are affordable too... 
Which 3K CDP: Simaudio Nova, Ayre CX-7 Wadia 302
If you end up buying the Moon Nova, at least try to check out Nova LE version. I bought one, its REALLY nice. I have it paired with a Perreaux Radiance R200i Integrated Amp. I'm very happy with the system's sound

WarrenhI got your email. I'm sorry I hadn't responded yet, I was on travel and didn't get to read your email until tuesday. To make matters worse my computer at home has been acting up big time, freezing on me, which is weird because I've never se...

Warrenh:Some things in life defie explanation...taste being one of those things. The Revels are great speakers, and are perfect for people who demand their sound. Great detail, great imaging, very revealing...Obviously there is a lot of technology... 
Upgrading the Source.
Warrenh:Add me to that list...The Revels(the M20s anyway) are technologically impressive, and have many virtues to them, but they were clinical, to my ears. Again, its all a matter of preference and not about whether or not one is absolutely bette... 
Upgrading the Source.
One more thing Warrenh...About me being nuts, I know it was tongue in cheek and all so I wasn't offended. But I'll tell you something. Your power conditioner, costs almost twice as much as your CD Player, and as much as your integrated amp. By you... 
Upgrading the Source.
Warrenh:You said: "True, I've never heard your monitors, but I have heard much more expensive Polks, that couldn't go tete at tete with any of the monitors I mentioned."That right there, says it all...I don't mean to knock on you, but like a frien...

Pbawcutt:I think you're right in upgrading your source. Since you already have a Simaudio integrated, why don't you try one of their CD Players like the Moon Nova or Moon Equinox. That Rotel player you talked about has gotten some good reviews, an...
