| Would you recommend Merlin speakers for HT? Depends on what you expect from an HT experience/speaker really! For some, it's fine. For other's, it greatly depends on the application!The simple answer, without touching on all the variables, is that the TSM's and VSM's will work most effective... | |
| Proceed AVP vs Krell HTS The Proceed gear is clear enough. It is basically more muical and sweet sounding Lexicon gear in my oppinion. The Krell on the other hand is very refined, and high end sounding resolved gear...especially the pre/pro! The amp is very good, if short... | |
| Dunlavy SCIII the difference in response is likely due to room mode differentiation from where they are located. Probably not a speaker problem. Try switching their locations and see.The other problem could be tweeter damage. Dun's are easy to blow tweet's on. ... | |
| Need recommendation for a preamp. Have sold both on a retail level for years. My advice?...skip em both and have better sound! Even old Audio Research LS2,LS5, LS7, etc, used sound better with good tubes in em! For $500-$750, you could get much better sound than the ones your desc... | |

| Jolida and B&W Nautilus 805 "Trelja", I would like to agree and dissagree with you on a couple of point......First, 11x18 IS A SMALL ROOM!...from an acoustical standpoint that is! Maybe in terms of HOA and realter's terms it's not. But in the world of acoustics, 11x18 would ... | |

| HE expo in SF this past week end...what was hot (Drubin)...An all-Rega system demonstrated by Audio-Vision SF, playing analog over $595/pair speakers. Wonderful...I must concure with Drubin's comment on the Rega system he mentioned, as being a "wonderful" sounding system!...I forgot about that ... | |
| Am I the only one who thinks B&W is mid-fi? WOW!..looks like you touched a "chord" here with Audiogoners! Indeed B&W must sell lots of speakers by the response they got here. | |

I think they were trying to show off a new line of Sony receivers that's supposed to compete with the higher end receivers on the marke... | |
| What is best center speaker? Are you Running the Piega as "large" on your pre/pro or receiver? YOu NEED TO BE RUNNING IT AS "small"!(or 80hz or higher) Really, no reasonably/practical sized center channel can handle full range properly for home applications. Deep dynamic bass... |
