| Speakers for Rock - up to 1kusd Gustavos, Reading back, I see you really like the Paradigm.Since your aren’t able to audition/buy the other speakers on you list, why keep banging your head? Just buy the Paradigm.There will always be other speakers/amps/preamps/cables to buy. By ... | |
| Subwoofers Wow, akg, that was a very thourough post. I hope the OP will take your advice, everything you said is true.Zardozmike, as I said, I have the 2w subs. Using the M5-HP crossover, will seamlessly combine the subs with your speakers. After having been... | |
| Need to lay a portion of my high-end speakers cable under the floor ... I say- go for it. Also, remember that you may need a little extra length to allow for moving equipment and speakers around. I learned that the hard way. | |
| HESITANT with NEW member sellers Ferrox, wire transfer is probably provides the least ability to recover your money, should the deal go bad.Paypal, generally sides with the buyer. Though they usually ask you to work out any differences with the seller/buyer directly, before enter... | |
| Subwoofers I believe Vandersteen 2w and 2wq's are often paired with Maggies to great results.But, I am prejudiced, cause I own them.I have also heard good things about Hsu subs in terms of sound, but not regarding pairing with Maggies.Have you checked the Ag... | |
| Sain line system cables a hidden giant killer. I guess hiendmmoe is saying that the Sain cables are much less than the 'super high end' cables costing in the 5 digit realm, yet provide equal/superior results.But, I agree, 'Giant Killer' is usually meant to refer to products that are at a lower... | |
| Sain line system cables a hidden giant killer. Lustformusic, I hear you.I think you and Almarg should combine forces. | |
| Vandersteen 2xx - 100,000 units? Oh yes, jimspov, congrats on your new speakers. | |
| Vandersteen 2xx - 100,000 units? Thanks ct, I couldn't find anything on the web/website about the 9 subs. | |
| Vandersteen 2xx - 100,000 units? I have never heard of a Vandersteen 9 sub. Where did you hear about it? | |
| Need to lay a portion of my high-end speakers cable under the floor ... I can't see how a cables' position under or on the floor could possible make a difference. In my mind, having it under the floor(which is what I am doing), is preferable, to lying on the floor. As Stringreen said, is it near any AC wires?Wow, I wi... | |
| Etiquette for a listening session? I find it sad that people cannot remain quite for more than a few minutes.Even plays/concerts are interrupted by cell phones to the chagrin of the performers. Europeans tend to be more sympathetic- I remember, years ago, a live recording of the Ma... | |
| Feedback on Ayre and Aesthetix with Vandersteen 5As Sounds like a good plan. Agon member audioconnection (JohnnyR), recommended the AQ Rockets for my Vandy 3a sigs. I would imagine the Castle Rock's would do better. Actually, you should just contact him directly. He has the best info on Vandy's you... | |
| Another "Which DAC?" thread. I use the lower end model, Bifrost Multibit, and am very happy with the sound. I got it because my McCormack DAC doesn't support USB.I have to say I prefer the Schiit and will be sending in the McC for some updating soon. | |
| Speakers for Rock - up to 1kusd I agree bdp24. Gustavos, did you contact Zu directly? I am sure they must deal with international shipping on a regular basis. As far as an amp goes, much would be predacated on your choice of speaker. For example, the Zu's are highly efficient an... |
