| Need Small Bookshelf Speakers With a Big Sound A lot of good recommendations here, but I may as well throw in my two cents. As long as you're okay with listening to (rather than feeling) the bass, you can't go wrong with the smaller Harbeths. They're very natural sounding & I doubt your... | |
| Recommend small, low power but low noise monoblocks I have these Dayens Monoblocks:http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue64/dayens_ampino.htmTruly excellent price/performance ratio; very small & very cool. | |
| small amp for 2.1 computer audio (svs ultra) If you're listening near-field at moderate levels, I wouldn't worry too much about power. Looks like the PSB sub has an adjustable crossover, so it'd be fine; it also has speaker level inputs, so you won't need a sub out option.Do you need a digit... | |
| Monitor Audio Silver 2 vs Dali Zensor 3 I've had the Silver 2's for a couple of years now & am pretty content with them--enough so that when I fantasize about something better, I include MA. Anyways, from what I've heard so far, a significant, all over improvement is going to req... | |

| What makes an expensive speaker expensive After writing all that, it turns out I totally missed the Kii 3's at Axpona--last product on the page here:http://www.stereomojo.com/AXPONA%202016%20CHICAGO%20AUDIO%20SHOW%20REPORT%20PART%201/Axpona2016Audio...I think Darko mentioned them before too. | |
| What makes an expensive speaker expensive The hi-fi market doesn't seem broken to me at all, and it's been pretty much a niche market all along. I'm not sure why you think it should be otherwise... Why does that trouble you? I wasn't expecting a serious question to my satirical story. I... | |
| What makes an expensive speaker expensive The hi-fi market is broken; its broken because its niche. It should not have to be so entwined in the hi-end; but it is. I deal with it because it’s important to me; but its a bit ridiculous. Imagine if jeans weren’t popular. (Unreal, I know, but ... | |
