Speakers for small room,near field
I own ProAc Tablette 50 Signatures and Sonus Faber Concertinos, and use them in a 12 x 16 room. While far under the budget you have set, they both perform very well. I use them with a subwoofer.For your budget, you may also want to consider Merlin... 
AA Dti PRO 32 for perpetual P1A???
Hi Senorkenessey. Is the Audio Alchemy DTI Pro 32 an anti-jitter device or a DAC? I believe the Perpetual Technologies P1A is an unsampler and correction engine only, and the P3A is a DAC. If you don't already have a DAC wouldn't you need both the... 
Any Dacs compatible with cd players ?
Hi Samski, Aragain is correct in that Bel Canto recommends DVD players that output true 24/96 signals as being their prime choice of a transport. However, there are many people in the Agon forums, myself included that are getting very good results... 
Monitor W. Subwoofer VS. Floorstander??
Hi Stan, I own a pair of ProAc Tablette 50 Signatures matched to an NHT SW3P subwoofer and am very happy with the combo.Integrating the sub with the monitors can be pretty tricky depending on the limitations of your room and its contents, but it i... 
Good speaker match for Sim Audio W5
Oh yeah, the ProAcs DISAPPEAR too. 
Good speaker match for Sim Audio W5
Hi Arkio, I'm a Simaudio owner, but not of the big boy W5. I'm running a pair of ProAc Tablette 50 Signatures mini monitors with a Simaudio Moon I-5 integrated, and I'm pretty darn happy. I also have a pair of Sonus Faber Concertinos, but mostly l... 
How Do You Clean Your CD's?
I breath moist air on them, then wipe them with the cleanest T-shirt I can find...that's within reach of me. Where are Megasam and RegBlazer when we need them? Now THEY know how to clean CDs.Blueskygolf, zippers are just as damaging as buttons if ... 
Sonic Frontiers SFT-1 Transport?
Thetas are forceful? After two months of constant play, I can say that the Pearl is definitely smoother and more refined than my previous player. Much more relaxed and enjoyable. But I suppose it's all relative, because the unit it replaced was a ... 
Are Vienna Acoustics really this good
Damn! That's a great system you've got Sc53! 
Best match with Proac Response Series
Awesome Dominic! Have fun! 
Are Vienna Acoustics really this good
Erniec, you should read Nezwek's thread entitled "SonusFaber GP? Other recomendations?". He mentions that the combination of Krell amps and Vienna Acoustics Beethovens were the best he heard.It seems that VAs do both movies and music very well. 
Sonic Frontiers SFT-1 Transport?
Hi Kevziek. A couple months ago when I was shopping for a used, DC'd transport, the SFT-1 was on my short list along with the Theta Data Basic II and Theta Pearl. Most SFT-1s were selling for around $1100, and the Thetas were going for $500-700 de... 
SonusFaber GP? Other recomendations?
Tom, from what I know of your Classe gear it is on the forgiving/musical side. Krell is more transparent and revealing. I've heard the Vienna Acoustic Beethovens in a store and the VA Haydns in my house, and in both cases they were smooth, musical... 
SonusFaber GP? Other recomendations?
BTW, what was your impression of the Merlins? Were they the TSMs ot VSMs? 
SonusFaber GP? Other recomendations?
Tom, good choice. The Grand Pianos sound nice, look good, and if you buy them on The Gon used, you'll save a bunch-a-green. Now to decide whether you want the HOME version or the older ones that were biwireable. Have fun! Dean
