Integrateds, which one??????????????
Naim is nice but does not have any of what i asked for  I had an Exposure which is very much like that  Went with the Anthem for now. 
Integrateds, which one??????????????
Not going to be adding things to the Vandersteens   The Hegel is out of the question.  I laid out what i can spend   How come nobody is excited about the Rogue Tempest magnum?  60 w/ch??  I have had tube hybrids but never a full tube deal  Worried... 
Integrateds, which one??????????????
Guys the Halo thing is not going to happen I do not have a money press in my basement  I am down to the Anthem and the Rotel RA 1570 
Integrateds, which one??????????????
The Parasound would be great but is WAY out of range  The list above is the list because they all fall in the $700 to $900 range used.  Another would be the HK 990.  That is if i knew of one. 
Rogue Audio - Cronus vs Tempest II
I am looking at the same situation and would like input  Speakers for now are Vandersteen 2cs from late 80s  The Cronus (non Magnum) is appealing becaue of the headphone out and phono stage.  I have heard it said the Cronus is lad back. NOT good f... 
Nak PA 5MMKII Bellles 150A HR Rotel RB 1070? Which one
Not going to be extra money to move up.  Not a big fan of separates to begin with.  More cables more comparing NO. I agree about synergy but the RB 1070 seems to be an issue.  Had a 990 for 6 years.     I think their best sounding amp may be the 9... 
NAD 3020 or C326BEE Integrated? Help me choose.
I have had both  There is something about the sound of the 3020/7020 that is hard to explain  Faults and all it just sounds like music.  The newer stuff to me just sounds like something trying to make music.  The 325 and 326 are really good though... 
B&K preamp question
Am I any better off with a NAD C160/ 162 or mid 90s Yamaha CX2?  I swear I should just stick with integrateds. 
Cambridge audio A 840v2 v Teac ai 2000
I had the Yamaha A-S 2000 and thought it had good bass was built like a tank but was slightly warm and thin through the midrange and treble and was a bit bright It reminded me of a Denon PMA 2000AE.  I kept thinking designed for the Japanese ear w... 
PSB Gold v PSB silveri
Thanks  Have a real concern about having a short soundstage with the silver i .  The tweeter is  a 8 inches below my ear level.   I have Vandersteen 2c units right now and they have a nice tall stage. FYI  I like the old c units better then the ne... 
Vandersteen
I get what the OP is saying  I owned 2 pairs of 2CEs and 2 pairs of 2CE sigs.  I liked them would recommend them but at the end of the day could not live with them.  Funny thing is I now have tried a pair  of 2Cs form the mid 80s and I have to hon... 
Cambridge audio A 840v2 v Teac ai 2000
Anybody?  let me throw the Yamaha A-S 1000 in there also. 
PSB Gold v PSB silveri
I had the Gold i about 2 years ago  Thought they were really good but  to warm and fuzzy  Had to use solid core wires for jumpers to get it to have sharper/cleaner images. I mentioned that here and some others agreed.  Had the Golds a few months a... 
Anthem 225 integrated: Anyone knows anything ?
I have had both  The 804a V2 is very good and well built ut a bit thin sounding  Does not lack bass. Just not a rich sound.  More of a lean sound. Yes the rattle is annoying.   I thought  the Anthem 225  was going to be the deal and end the merry ... 
Yamaha CX 2 preamp verse say a Rotel RC 995?
 I am using a B@k 4420 and a PT 3 tuner preamp which may? be equal or better then those mentioned  Would like remote, phono and headphone.  $200 to $300 used. .Not vintage?? It has been my take most older gear sounds richer and more musical then m...
