| Hafler DH500 vs Newer Integrated Amp/Class D? Anthem gear is nice, you might want to look at the Marantz PM8004 as well. A ton of stuff to choose from around that price range. Would the newer stuff out shine the old, not always. Let your ears be the judge. Keep in mind other features that may... | |
| Putting together first stereo.... Appears you have a good plan for your system. Smart to audition the speakers as you have. All the better if you can hear components in your home. Mac gear I find is wonderful and you will be thrilled for years to come. My only real advice would be... | |
| Daber 2: better speaker in the world for $1k? Have not heard the Monitor 2's, but can attest to the Monitor 3's I own a pair. They are great speakers. Work well with my tube or SS gear. The Daber speakers are well worth consideration anywhere near the price and above. | |
| Difference between Marantz PM-11S1 and S2 The 11S1 is now discontinued while the S2 is still available. However I now believe it is on the verge of being replaced with the S3. Check Marantz.com and search the models. Musicdirect.com may be a good place for information as well.From some of... | |
| Final Sound 600i: where to find support/pricing? Sounds like you have already in part answered your question by looking it up on a blue book site. You may also seek the value from a dealer such as Overtrue Audio whose offer the service towards trade in. Price them for half of what you paid for t... | |
| Sound Exposure and Potential Hearing Loss Indeed interesting and may it serve to caution all. This information should be shared too all. Especially the young who blast everything from car stereo's to ipods. | |
| Budget Chinese Tube amps - any good? When buying some gear, the who you purchase from perhaps as important as the what. Solid product and a great person to deal with, Stephen from Quest for Sound. There SQ-88 integrated is great, and Steve is tops. | |
| McIntosh MA-6900 Integrated Amp - Your Thoughts? You have a nice system as it is. First suggestion would be to buy some new music, or break out some of your old tunes you have not listened too for some time. It is all about the music after all.Second, you may wish to try different speakers, as I... | |
| Faceplates Silver or Black??????? Black, silver sometimes gold. If I like the look of a component itself it does not have to match the rest of my system. On some brands the nomenclature is more visible on one over the other and that would have me choose black or silver.Aesthetics ... | |
| The best integrated amp for Klipsch Heresy The Marantz PM 8004 is well worth looking into, wow for the money. For more money as stated above a McIntosh amp would bring no complaints. Both would mate well with the Heresy speakers. Happy hunting. | |
| Best $1,500-ish New or Used Floorstander - Playing my Daber Monitor 3 speakers with the Marantz PM8004. Great combo. The Daber brand is an under the radar speakers. Very well constructed and sounds like dream for well under two grand. As mentioned above, the Marantz PM8004 may blow your mi... | |
| Review: Marantz PM8004 Amplifier Thanks for your review of the PM8004. Recently picked one up from a dealer. The sound and build are indeed tops. For quite some time I too wanted the Marantz reference series top integrated. Having experienced the 8004 I can not imagine their top ... | |
| Marantz PM8004 with TT-15S1 Record player Just purchased the PM8004 and would more than agree, this is an awesome unit for the price. Very pleased with it even compared to my McIntosh MA6600 and my tube integrated.Cannot comment on the Marantz turntable, but I would certainly consider it ... | |
| Scaling down I have found the primary focus should always be my enjoyment of the music. Big or small, humble or great. Then even smaller systems can be enjoyable. But for myself as long as I have the space, my big system will always be tops. Life demands somet... | |
| Magnepan Service HORRIBLE??? Surprised by your troubles, often it is the smaller companies that will be most quick to respond to a situation. Even if there response was to give you a time frame or they just don't want to bother with your problem. This a courtesy no matter whe... |
