| Best Towers Under $1500 for beginner system This post is quite old, I'm not sure I op bought the speaker already. Your path is just like me, start with a receiver and 5.1 speakers. I then bought a floorstanding speaker. If u want good stereo music, u need to separate music from home theater... | |
| Which speaker has the biggest sound stage? Thanks for all the replies. There are quite a number of suggestions and I did a lot of readings. I am quite interested in the Gallo Reference 3. To be honest, the planar speakers like the Magnepan won't get my wife's approval to put in the living ... | |

In the "deal of the century" thread, someone pointed out getting loud hum. By reading the reviews, i got an impress... | |
| SS against Tube Preamp Just to share my experience. I originally use a Denon receiver, not happy with the sound. Then I follow the recommendation to go with pre-post route. I first try used Adcom and Rotel preamp, it is greatly improved over receiver, but still not sati... | |
