| Worked Backwards and Would like to Hear Suggestions on Speakers speakers which may help with finding more clarity and high ends @roddyboy If that is what you are looking for. Then the Vandersteen Treo's, Quatro's are something you should try to audition.Bob | |
| Suggestion on XLR Cables I would contact Ralph at Atma-Sphere. He can give you great information regarding balanced cables and can provide you cables, as well, at a super price point.Bob | |
| Worked Backwards and Would like to Hear Suggestions on Speakers I would suggest you try to listen to Vandersteen, as well.Magnepan would be a second choice- and would probably be close to the Bose in terms of the diffuse sound.Bob | |
| $1000-$2000 Floor-standing speakers for larger room w/NAD 326bee @ruleof72 You do know you can buy a pair of Treo's or Quatro's used and save a lot of coin. That's what I did.Bob | |

| Burning/breaking in new equipment? Very nice gear for a first system.All previous advice is great.If your electric rates are not too high, you can leave things on 24/7.Burn in takes some time, so just listen and enjoy your new stereo. When things come together, you will notice a su... | |
| Opening a can of worms I concur with the OP, for the most part.There comes a point of diminishing returns. For those who can afford it, then sure, buy the super high priced model. For those of us with more limited means, we have to balance what we want with what we can ... | |
| How to optimize sub integration with 2 channel? Why don't you call up or email Zu and get their take on it?From my experience, they are very communicative about their products.Bob | |

| Please help me chose a tube preamp I heard a pair of ProAc's with Aesthetix amp and pre- I don't remember which model- but they sounded excellent. I don't think you would go wrong with that manufacturer.Another manufacturer, Atma-Sphere, makes a killer preamp. My MP-3 is everything... | |
| Another question about bi wiring Plenty of posts regarding jumpers vs. bi-wire. Just search.Regarding your current connection, I think it sounds okay. Another way to connect is to have one pair as spades and the other banana, or stack two sets of spades-which is kind of a pain an... | |
