| Best value Bookshelf speaker Marct- did listen to the Rainmakers at the same dealer and same set-up. He just changed over the wires and everything else was exactly the same including listening position.Did appreciate the Rainmakers. Sounded very nice but both the dealer and I... | |
| Best value Bookshelf speaker Welcome Timrhu. I know you like the Polks and I did talk to a seller. He also said great things about the lsi9's but said if I found a pair I already like for a good price just go for it which is what I did.So far no regrets. | |
| Cooling fans for tube amp Thanks Bmcleod, I'll check them out. | |
| Subwoofer connection to older tube amp OK, but I'm still not sure what line level connections I have on the pre or the amp. The pre may have those but the amp really just has screw posts for speaker outs at different ohm levels. The only RCA style inputs is the Main for the pre input. ... | |
| Subwoofer connection to older tube amp Thanks Sfar. If I can just run parallel wires off the same amp out connector that sounds easiest. I appreciate Steuspeeds directions for using the line level outputs but as long as there isn't a real power drain on the D-90 and the sub amp is bein... | |
| Best value Bookshelf speaker If anyone is still following this thread, I did buy the Focal 806's today after another listen. Still feel the imaging and soundstage are wonderful. I'm sure there are plenty of other speakers out there to keep me confused but I went with the Foca... | |

| Subwoofer connection to older tube amp So just connect the sub wires to the same amp terminals as the main speaker wires? | |
| Focal JM Lab Your assessment of the Chorus V series is good to hear. I listened to the 807V yesterday and loved them but will have to settle for the 806's due to footprint constraints. Only difference is a 6.5" mid VS the 7" in the 807. Focal uses 6.5 in all t... | |
| Best value Bookshelf speaker I did get a chance to listen to some Polks but don't believe they were the lsi9's. Unfortunately it was at Fry's which is a big box electro store and the audition was under very poor conditions. If I can find a higher end store I'll give them a tr... | |
| Best value Bookshelf speaker I went to listen to the Von Schweikerts and two customers who were just leaving said "don't bother, we just did a comparison with the Focal Chorus 807's- blew them away"They did sound incredible. Soundstage and imaging were fantastic. Much better ... | |
| Best value Bookshelf speaker Read good reviews on all these and will try to find a way to listen to them all. Did read a very strong review on RBH, especially the 61 Signature model. Any one listen to these? | |
| Best value Bookshelf speaker Thanks everyone. I'll look into these, and they are bookshelf size right? cause I do have size constraints and can't go with floorstanding. |
