| Best relatively Compact Speakers in $2000 range?? I think Dsremer meant the Tyler Linbrooks. They sell in the 1850-2200$ range used, while the ref monitors sell between 1100-1200$ used | |
| Best bang-for-buck purchase you have made? 5 years ago, I paid a 5$ door charge to see a KISS cover band...I now know what its like to be a true die hard fan of something:) | |
| Would Dynaudio Contours mate well with Denon? Basically I find this whole speaker/ amplification/ wires etc paradigm to be the same as cars.Sure you can get a ferrari and run it on crap tires with low octane gas...but you think any ferrari drivers do that? hell no....they want the "full poten... | |
| Getting into audio for around 3500$...problems... the room is about 14x18, speakers are about 2ft from back wall, 6ft apart from each other, and I sit about 7 ft from the speakers. Floor is hardwood, on the right side are cloth curtains covering a bay window, on the left is a wooden display case ... | |
| Getting into audio for around 3500$...problems... I'm wondering if perhaps I've over-budgeted for amp/preamp thenadding on a preamp that meets my needs will probably be in the 1200-1300$ range bringing the amp/pre total to about 2600$ while my speakers were only 1200$would I be better off selling... | |
| Getting into audio for around 3500$...problems... well lots of great advice and a lot to think about!Since I have the money at this time I believe I'll push for a preamp, probably a Rogue 99 or Audible Illusion M3a.Then I'll take a drive down to my local hifi store and pickup a set of speakers fr... | |
| Should I upgrade from my Pre1L to Rogue 66 Magnum? its my opinion that at a certain price bracket all you do is exchange good qualities and bad qualities.As you increase in price you tend to gain more good qualities and lose the bad qualities.sooo...I dont think your planned move would really be a... | |

| Opinions on VTL preamps Chayes...just swapping your positive and negative speaker inputs isn't gonna cause the problems your talking about, it wont cause ANY problem just polarity issues.either you left something out or I misread it | |
| low cost integrated amp for newbie I have three points I'd like to make to you.1)I must completely disagree with Chams_uk, "NEW" shouldn't be in your vocabulary at your price range.2)It is MY opinion that for under 500$ used you will not hear an audible difference between an integr... | |
| Preamp suggestions 1200$ used Thought I'd add that this preamp will function in a strictly 2 channel audio system.I keep seeing "line level stage" in some of the explanations of the preamps, my understanding was line level was just another term for RCA any help here? | |
| best used speaker for around 2500? Beemer, obviously you paid to much for your 10t's *LOL* so dont critizise the other guy to make up for your own purchasing problem.I've seen them as low as 2000$ on Audiogon and I've seen plenty listed between 2300$-2500$ obviously there are some ... | |
| Opinions on Paradigm vs. Axiom vs. NHT? In your price range I hope your looking at used products?I almost barfed when I saw the mention of crutchfield on this post, that should be an instant banning for life *LOL*Warranties are only good for one thing, and since toilet paper is cheaper ... | |
