| SF Guarneri Homage or SF Extrema? i've heard both speakers, and i don't have a preference- they're much too close in design and both sound excellent.but as an aside, i took a chance and bought a sonus faber amp(the musica) 50w/ch into 8 ohms -- three knobs on the front, no remote,... | |
| Are the B&W N800 that good? why don't you further modify the matrix 801?the crossover and the cabinet can be improved forless money than the nautilus line. i like the nautilusspeakers-- more resolving, more accurate. but i amvery biased towards the m-801- a rigid stand, a pr... | |
| Mark Levinson transports my ml-37 had to recently be repaired after several years ofvery light use- non-smoker, always handled cds carefully, etc. $900 plus freight. do i still love it? yes, but it was supposed to be so overbuilt, etc. which it obviously is not.i see used... | |
| Why so much???? better question- why can't i get cd's of record alblums i used to cherish ? so much material will never ever appear on the store shelves again. i suggest someone (an ex-dj perhaps) devote their vast collection of vinyl to those who would pay $25 f... | |

| Are DVD recorders not good players? BEWARE- i got the panasonic dmre-85 hs w/120gb hard drive.a very popular machine (the manual should keep you busy for a couple of days), but it needs VENTILATION, and a battery back-up (imo), as there are multiple warnings about voltage and power ... | |
| B&W Nautilus 802 b&w MATRIX 802 s2 had a tweeter protection circuit. the s3 dropped the somewhat "busy" crossover and apoc and redesigned the tweeter to handle more power. the difference to me was noticeable but not nite and day. "certain people" always manage... | |

| Best Component Ever, for the money my vote goes to the "stereo compact"- a receiver with a top- mounted turntable w/cartridge, 10" 2-way or 3-way speakers, cables included. harmon kardon used to make one with a dual-1219 turntable. my parents bought the fisher- i think we're talkin... | |
| Rowland Concerto - Has anyone heard it yet my apologies- the concerto pre- was announced 1st. i'd still like to know, since it's a lot newer than the synergy, if the sonics are worse or better- that would be a big dilemma for synergy owners. i myself have m-12 amps which were "supposed" to... | |
| JBL lovers have you thought about trying a sub-woofer?? check w/a sumiko dealer about sound re-inforcement. unless of course you're looking for black-sabbath live- you might melt a tweeter along the way... | |
| Rowland Concerto - Has anyone heard it yet concerto or concentra- what are we talking about? the CONCERTO is the new PREAMP from jrdg- anyone heard IT??? | |
| What companies, out of Business, did you LOVE??? a/d/s speakers- they made the L-series w/fuses, and then the m-12's and m-15's w/solid state tweeter protection instead of fuses- sounded phenominal either way, and beautiful cabinets in black, (real) walnut, rosewood...AND, then they came out w/t... | |
| How do you know if a cable is neutral? i had an experience w/ pwr cords- the after-market cord was a little brighter sounding/harsher than the stock cord; BUT, it did reveal a little more information. i think if a cable/cord doesn't give the listener the impression that it "rings", esp... |
