| I need help trying to decide which bookshelf speakers to purchase @sttt,Millercarbon is correct. You will achieve better results with a better amp and preamp.I would recommend a pair of Vandersteen VLR's, but be sure to put them near the corners.Many know me as a Vandy fanboy, but I have to say they really are q... | |
| SS Amp Designer by Reputation Also, McCormack, which should fit your budget. And, you can have SMcAudio upgrade it.What are your other components?That would help in narrowing down the choices.Bob | |
| Exceptional vendor support Great Post!I think it is always a good thing to post about positive experiences.And, yes, many small/medium/ and a few large manufacturers offer great customer service out of love for their craft.Bob | |
| A21+ is in da house... Sugden or Parasound?B | |
| How to tell if some one legit @sfseay,Everyone has to start somewhere.Just because there is no prior feedback, doesn't mean the seller is dishonest.If possible, try to get the sellers phone number and give them a call.I, too, started with no feedback, but many Agoner's are ver... | |
| How to tell if some one legit Agon has some good policies for both buyers and sellers.If you are suspicious of a seller, I would contact Tammy and provide her with the info., then go from there.Bob | |
| Qobuz Users Update? @mahler, Thanks for posting that.B | |
| Are members not leaving feedback anymore? I usually wait for a buyer to leave feedback before I do. Just in case there is an issue with the sale.Bob | |
| Business Ethics in the Audio Industry I agree.It would have been nice if Schiit offered the new Freya at the original price, seeing as you had already placed the order.I doubt they would be loosing too much money, but instead gaining greater customer loyalty.Just think if you posted t... | |
| New home power protection? I concur with snapsc.There will be no 100% effective surge protection, but I would, at least, get a sacrificial whole house surge protector. They aren't very expensive, but should provide a good layer of protection.Bob | |
| Kimber 12tc incompatibility with ayre my-r twenty @adg @mike_in_nc ,Great points. I also use about 25 feet of interconnect between my preamp and amp and 6 feet to my speakers.A system with 'true balanced' circuitry allows the interconnects to have minimal effect on sound quality.Bob | |
| Calling all Vandersteen Fans If you are getting the cables from AQ or a dealer, they should be able to offer spades that fit the Vandy's.The GO-4 that I got from Johnny fit like a glove.Bob | |
| Calling all Vandersteen Fans @helomech,I think you made a good choice. I was just posting my experience with adding subs to Vandy's at full range.I wanted to use my 2w subs with the VLR's, but space dictated otherwise.The Hsu subs are good enough for my office, but I wouldn't... | |
| Windows in a listening room I skimmed the video. He seemed more interested in absorption than reflection- the latter, I think is the real issue.I would definitely add something to diffuse the reflected sound from the glass.Having a room with bookshelves, curtains, blinds and... | |
| Calling all Vandersteen Fans I am running a pair of VLR's with HSU subs at full range.I have to admit that I have to dial down the crossover point below 80 hz in order to get a good seamless transition.Though Vandy's may not go to 20 hz, they go pretty far down- and let's fac... |
