Help? Stereo for art studio, under $1k
Rose, I have something for you there is no way you're going to beat (price and quality aka value wise). You can contact me off board at erp50@juno.com if interested. I have a Carver MXR 130 receiver and JBL S412P speakers. In the case of the speak... 
My Musical Fidelity amp died..What's next?
Bastanu, just curious about something else regarding your amp problem. Those Maggies you have, according to spec ar 86 db sensitivity and 4 ohm. Given that, I would venture to say they are power hungry indeed. And given that your A300 is rated at ... 
My Musical Fidelity amp died..What's next?
Bastanu, I'm sorry to read of the issue you have with the A300. I don't know where you are located, but it would seem to me that given the problem (transistors fried), that would be fixable by your local (and reputable) electronics repair shop. It...

B&W 683S2 for entery level speakers
I've never listened to them, but I can tell you I have a brand new (still in unopened manufactures carton) pair of JBL S412P speakers that are certainly comparable. I'm willing to sell the pair for less than what I see the cost of the B&Ws are...

Soix, without knowing anything else (i.e. disregard all of things I'm looking to improve, etc.), would you consider any of these models an "upgrade":http://www.whathifi.com/news/10-worlds-most-expensive-loudspeakers 
My Musical Fidelity amp died..What's next?
Bastanu, which MF integrated did/do you have? What is the problem? How long have you had it? Can't it be serviced? I recently bought an M6si, hence the reasons for the questions. Thanks. 
Golden Ear Triton One vs Mythos ST-L Supertowers
Zd542, price, size, specs on paper, same principal owner. Hence I state "at face value". 
Golden Ear Triton One vs Mythos ST-L Supertowers
Thanks Stereo5. I'm leaning that way myself. Assuming you've had the T1s for at least 6 months, any "issues" (good or bad) with them you are aware of and can share?

Are there any opinions about the Golden Ear Triton One's or Mythos ST-L SuperTower? Either of those could be had new for 5K a pair. In the case of Golden Ear, certain reviewers claim they are comparable to speakers costing 5 times as much.

Okay. Thanks Zd542. I'll concede you are correct. I'd appreciate it if chime in on the thread I'm starting regarding Triton 1 vs Mythos ST-L Supertowers.

Lostbears - I have a music fidelity m6si if that helps in your response at all. GD used JBL as well as McIntosh. In fact McIntosh still prominently mentions Bobby and I believe shows a photo of him in the studio with McIntosh equipment. McIntosh w... 
Normal or Abnormal?
More specifically, I believe the unit is made in Taiwan. From what I understand it is "designed" in the UK. Also, given MFs response that at least in the case of the volume control the part is from Texas Instruments, it is likely if the unit were ... 
Normal or Abnormal?
Turns out, "normal"!! The following is a reply from the company - and I can believe it, given the response. Here is the official word (personal names omitted, but this is from a high level exec at MF ). In my view this does in fact resolve to my s...
