| Best speaker on used market around 10,000.00 in response to the ANDRA I VS ANDRA II question, the 2's have better bass, the woofers sit higher off the floor, and the transition from woofer to midrange is much improved due to new crossovers. the 2's look better, too. you can place them just a... | |
| WHAT TV SHOULD I GET RIGHT NOW? Thank everyone for some great responses. i DO need to watch from an angle at times, so plasma seems to be the best choice. as for a nice piece of furniture,should i just get a salamander cabinet or try to be more "creative"? the cabinet could cost... | |
| R.I.P. Andy Williams old timers as it were... i still think H.Mancini and B.Bacharach wrote some amazing music. it still gives me a lift. even if it's inside an "elevator".... | |
| Best speaker on used market around 10,000.00 Eggleston Andra-2 Speakers (used)- two woofers, two midranges, and a Dynaudio Esotar tweeter per channel. powerful but sweet trebles. you should have bought my pair (they were mint). all the good reviews of them should be fairly convincing as well... | |
| Vintage Crown D 150A II Amp -- How good was it? the Allman Brothers Band used stacked DC-300A amplifiers for their PA. I was in college at the time and i saw them hauling their equipment out the back after they finished playing. I don't think it would be a good choice for a stereo system these ... | |
| Anyone Using Bose 901 speakers In A Home Theater? I actually did get to hear a 4 channel quad system using two pairs of 901's-two in front/two in back with a very nice set of marantz solid state. the guy i visited had a beautiful well kept apartment with nice furniture and tastefully decorated, e... | |
| Hook Up Revox Reel-to-Reel to Tube Preamp dump the preamp! i can't live without a tape loop. that's the whole purpose of having a preamp in the 1st place. NMHO! | |
| Magico S5 review Well for me the value of the review is the astute observations of a person with trained ears that can appreciate the differences between IMHO a great set of Focal speakers and a product even more transparent. i am not as concerned about something ... | |
| Wave Kinetics NVS Turntable - Stereophile Review Admission- One of my personal "dream" turntables (so far) would be a VPI TNT-6 (no longer made) with a heavy platter upgrade and a Benz High-End cartridge, with the SDS motor controller, 12in. JMW arm. my current phono stage is a Lukaschek which i... | |
| Wave Kinetics NVS Turntable - Stereophile Review For $70,000+ i would certainly hope the turntable in question would sound good, especially to those who have spent the money to own one. forgive me if i think of all of the state-of-the-art tables at every price point under the sun (and moon) ALSO... | |
| mark levinson 360s i always felt this was a very analog-sounding piece when i used it with the matching #37 transport. in fact even after having moved on with EMM labs,i still feel there is a bit of "soul" missing that i "used" to hear (IMO of course).it also has ev... | |
| Wave Kinetics NVS Turntable - Stereophile Review Sorry for forgetting the phono stage in my 1st entry... that can run a bit more.... The best turntable i ever got to hear was the SME 30 playing Jobim records at an audio show. the sound was pure magic, no argument. i got to stare at a classic Gol... | |
| Wave Kinetics NVS Turntable - Stereophile Review I probably should not have been shocked by the price of the turntable Plus arm Plus cartridge (Plus a highly specialized stand for the turntable) -somewhere over $65K before you get to put on an album. I was also "not shocked" that the record play... | |
| What are your general thoughts of B&W speakers I would love to finally HEAR the B&W diamonds for myself so i can come to myown conclusions. My 1st high-end speaker was a B&W 801 matrix, and the clarity in the midrange plus the DEEP BASS response was hard to beat for $5K (New) IF you ha... | |
