| Proac Tablette or B&W cdm7nt or Audio Physic Yara 2 Classic why not get 2 subs and properly integrate them in with your Proac's. Something about Proacs and the way they suck you into the music is hard to forget. I'd imagine you could sell the B&W's and buy the subs for similar money that will satisfy y... | |

I actually loaded the said torpedo, I was on board HMCA Victoria a Canadian Submarine we shot a US Navy Mk 48 torpedo. Anyway there’s no speaker in the wold that... | |

| So just how much vinyl do YOU own? I've got about 2000 and I'm seriously thinking of down sizing everything. Been thinking of selling off all the vinyl and turntables and going digital. I'm really tired of the constant set up, cleaning and not to mention all the storage space need... | |
| VPI Prime or Prime Signature? Not to be a stick in the mud but have you thought on another option and buy a nice used table and move up even further? Or similar to what I did with the build up of a vintage Garrrard 301-401 or thorns equivenant. Rim drives can be very addicting... | |

| corner speakers AudioNote AN line was designed to be in a corner, if they are in your budget worth looking at. Others mentioned the Klipsch line too. | |
| Soundstaging and Imaging: The Delusion about The Illusion I've never gone to a concert with one ear plug in so I suppose I'm hearing the consert in sterio, from my prospective in the seat I'm sitting in of course. | |
| Need recommendations for an alternative to Ayon Crossfire integrated + Finale Audio, they make some very nice sounding equipment. not as bling as Ayon but better parts under the hood. I also agree Frank is very good to deal with. I really like the upgrades available as well. I run one of their 8wpc F3008 fxx 300b S... | |
| First Watt SIT-3 proper speaker matches I'd think any of the SET tube guys speakers would be up your ally. I've tried and liked the above mentioned Omega SAM's, I own and love the Living Voice Avatar 2's (look further up the chain if your budget allows wonderfully musical speakers, also... |
