| Speakers for electronic/hiphop/rnb [$4000 range]? As a newbie, I recommend going to as many dealers and listening to as many speakers as possible. Get to know what you like and don't like.Hifi systems are synergistic. All part play a part in recreating music, so not only are speakers important, b... | |
| I've decided to try Tubes Wolfie, as an unabashed Vandy and Atma-Sphere fanboy, I understand your frustration. Hopefully, the saying 'no good deed goes unrewarded', will be applied to you. ( Me too ;)...).B | |
| Need Wireless Subwoofer Options Thanks, though I still want to know how well wireless works with your system. I might consider it for my system, as well.B | |
| Please Help Me Choose a Speaker Cable Sorry to hear about the bananas not fitting. That's why I like spades. Definitely send them back, you don't want them slipping out and possible grounding your amp.-(which is something I did once, luckily the fuses contained the short).Johnny R at ... | |
| Amps Atma-Sphere M-60 Mono blocks OTL design Bigboltz, do the M-60's have enough power for the Quatro's? I ended up going with the MA-1's because I thought it would be a bit too much for them.BTW- My MP-3 took a while to complete, mostly due to the remote option, but as I said to ozzy, your ... | |

| Speaker companies with a focus on parts quality and measurements If you like the Maggie sound, then the Vandersteen line should be to your liking. You can definitely score a pair of used VSM's or Bookshelf speakers for your price range, though I would pair them with a decent (Vandy, HSU, REL, JL) sub for optimu... | |
| I've decided to try Tubes @wolf_garcia Don't be ashamed for being a fanboy. When we hear what we like, it is only natural to share the enthusiasm.And, yes, those glowing tubes do make us more interesting. ;)B | |
| Need Wireless Subwoofer Options You can probably score a pair of Vandersteen 2w's for under $1K, but you do need crossovers. In my opinion, the best way to add subs to any system.Also, HSU subs are a great value for the money, too.The JL should probably be a good upgrade, but se... | |
| Picking up my Prime on Saturday Hopefully, he will have some time to give you some audition time.I went last week and listened to Vandersteen Quatro's and 5CT's and ProAc's, the latter I had never heard before. Unfortunately, it got busy and I didn't get to hear the 7's. I also ... | |
| Need Wireless Subwoofer Options Looking at the JLink, it should work. Let me know if it does. B | |
| Tidal and Streaming player The DAC in the Bluesound is pretty good for the price, but I opted for just the Node (now discontinued, so available for less), and output to my Schiit DAC.The Bluesound gives me whole house connectivity, while the Schiit Dac's give better sound o... | |
| DACs - what exactly do these things do? As you go up the chain, you get more resolution and sound stage.I, too, balked at the high price of some DAC's, but when listening, could hear the difference in presentation.There are also added noise and distortion from PC's drives and USB, which... | |
| Need Wireless Subwoofer Options Both REL and JL are good brands. My only bugaboo with wireless is that few offer 5ghz wireless.I worked around the Bluesound limitation by buying a Netgear wireless to ethernet device. The 5ghz band is almost unoccupied in my area, so I get very g... | |
| 3D Array Soundbar - GoldenEar Technology When I listened to GoldenEar speakers, I wasn't impressed and said so to the dealer. His response- 'They are highly rated by all the magazines, you don't know what great sound is...'My advice: Don't believe everything you read.If you want a good H... |
