| Looking for floorstanders in the 7-8K range? Triangles - ProAc | |
| Loudspeakers that go LOUD? Robertson35 commented that the math shows all should be well. What he did not mention is the impedance of that speaker. Does it dip below 4 ohms in the bass somewhere? | |

| Systemdek IIX and a vpi scout I have the IIX with the OEM arm. I have tweaked the unit by apply Dynamat to the - plinth, suspension members, motor, motor mount and arm board. The difference can be heard with a stethescope. (I applied a reasonable amount to the suspension parts... | |

| magnepan 1.6 needs help in the bass I ran MMGs with a Paradigm 12" sub and NHT sub amp. Seemed to work well. To get it right download an RTA program to you PC (maybe RAL) get a half decent mic and use your PC to get the set up and settings right. | |

| Used Proac Response 3's or Paradigm v 3 60's? I heard the Proac Response 3's a long time ago and was extremely impressed. If you can get them for $1600 go for it. | |

They will upgrade caps and put in new tubes with sockets. (The stock first runs of the amps had tubes soldered in)The amp has a phono st... | |

| Full range speakers with small footprint? Flat to 43hz anechoic but flat to 35hz in room and only 3db down at 30hz. Very efficient and sound excellent | |
| best speaker in a small room in the $2000.00 range Zerius, Antal etc. These are very efficient and sound extremely good. The Antal's are flat to 45hz - but don't let that throw you.
