| Best Bang for the Buck on a Used Center Speaker??? NHT AC-2 center channel speaker. The unit mated with the 2.9 and flagship 3.3 series by NHT. Fast, detailed and accurate. Buying used in and of itself will give you much bang for the buck. If you cannot find the same brand and series of your mains... | |
| b&w 803 or vr4jr, best match The B&W's are of course a great choice, you can't go wrong. However each time I listened to them they did not give me enough of everything I wanted too make the purchase. When it came to the Vons, I ended up paying much more than the speakers ... | |
| Question For Von Schweikert VR4 Jr Owners You don't mention as to whether your room constraints are due to overall room size or just placement issues due to the flow of the room. Having enough overall area can be a factor. In my case the room is on the small side, 14x15x8, and I play with... | |
| any thoughts on the pioneer sx-939 receiver The Pioneer SX-525 was my first reciever, loved it. Was so excited I carried it home from the store in my lap like a new born baby. Sounded good and looked beautifull. If the one you are looking at seems nice. One hundred bucks or less is a small ... | |
| Opinions on the Mac MA 2275? Was to be the gift to myself for big 50, alas price,too much for my desire,perhaps I will be able to obtain all the funds needed in my next 50 years.:] But having auditioned it. the look, the feel, the sound and seeing the wonderfull features, suc... | |
| Von Schweikert VR4 SR Knowing that the pocket book may always play a factor with myself. And different rooms in which one may hear speakers etc, play a role in how speakers sound. Having the VR4Jr's myself and having listened to their big brother. My impression was tha... | |
| Von schweikert vr4sr up against mahler ThetaMy two cents may be of little value having not heard the specfic vienna speakers you now have, I have auditioned some of the Vienna line up in times past. However, I have heard the VSA VR4Sr's and I own the VSA VR4jr's. The VSA speakers are f... | |
| Is Smoking Really That Bad For Audio Equipment? Short answer yes, it may take quite awhile for it to do its dirt so to speak however. Smoke, dust etc all will have it's negative effect on various types of gear over the course of time. Moreover,it just stinks ,at least if you are a non smoker. F... | |
| Classe CAP-2100 enough power for NHT 2.9s? You have a great option,the NHT 2.9's can really sing with good power behind them. I will be looking for your results. Good listening.Glen | |
| Balanced and Unbalanced outputs Should not hurt a thing on either side. Keep your XLR cables and connect your center channel with the rca cables and enjoy. | |
| Other than the SOUND, what do you love the most? Loved the look of my Teac X-10 reel to reel, just to see the reels turning and the meters moving to the music. The look of the lights on my first reciever, the Pioneer SX-525, and the Yamaha CR1080 reciever with its green glow and dark wood cabine... | |
| Spendor vs. Von Schweikert? It has been ages and ages since I have had a listen to the Spendor line, however I can indeed say that the VSA JR4's are indeed worth your listen. I find them to be truly a muscial speaker. Be it tubes or SS, there is music in those speakers. | |
| Your First System A Pioneer SX 525 reciever. I was so happy when I brought it I rode all the way home with it in my lap, like it was a baby. I could not even afford speakers to go with it. The tuner was my only source listening with headphones. Finally got some hou... | |
| Magnepan vs. Martin Logan Between hearing the two at different dealers the Maggies would get my vote. They seem to integrate the music better than the ML's. With the ML's the sense of having the base separate from the mids and highs seemed to tarnish the sonic image. The m... | |
| Recommended Hi end dealer Your budget is amazing, you are double blessed to have such an understanding wife. There is a dealer in the PA area who does mail order as well. He is a dealer for Von Schweikert. Stephen Monte of Quest for Sound. He is a really nice and easy guy ... |
