| What's the deal with Adcom GTP 760 going so cheap? I've been wondering this myself, especially as the 760 is still in production and seems to have a pretty good reputation. It may come down to the 760 not supporting some of the very latest in HT standards. But the 5.1 standards are still, well, st... | |
| Best "Used" Audiophile speakers for 1000-1500 Dunlavy SM-1s, add a sub later if you want full-range response. Even without, the SM-1 will get you to the mid-40s in a typical room.It might be possible to by a pair of SC-IIIs for around $1500 or so, and you'd get some bass extension (mid-30s?) ... | |
| How much money do you want to waste? Asa, please. You have grotesquely misstated my position, and quite willfully. NOWHERE did I say "it is "baseless" to believe that people listen at varying degrees of "feeling".", nor anything ever remotely close. Nor would I have said that, for I ... | |
| How do you determine how much to spend on speakers Ultrakaz is right on in his percentages. Look at it this way: how close can you get to the state of the art with non-SOTA priced components?In cables, even most generic wires will get you indistiguishably close to 100% of ideal (when considering t... | |
| How much money do you want to waste? Asa -As always, your comments are very interesting. However, why do you continue this "priests of science", etc. attack? Your remarks about the mode of thinking of your so-called "objectivists" (whoever they are), and oft-repeated implications tha... | |

| Dunlavy out of buisness? Anybody (other than rcprince) consider the fact that JD is probably in his late 70s or even early 80s and might want to slow down a bit? Running a company is a lot of work.Ack - gee, did anyone really like his speakers??? Read the press reviews, r... | |
| Analog vs Digital Recordings If you can find some of Reference Recordings vinyl, you can do a pretty decent direct comparision. Their LP mastering is strictly analog, CD mastering is DDD. | |
| monitor w/ bass? Try the Dynaudio 1.3SE - outstanding bass for its size, and it does everything else very well. It's pretty inefficient, though, so you'd want to check it out with your amp. | |
| What Speakers ?? The Vandersteens are very good. You might also try the NHT 2.5i, which may have the best bass of any speaker in that price range. It images great, and is overall very stroing although it is perhaps less refined than the Vandersteen.It might be eve... |
