| FM tuners - Are they OBSOLETE ? go buy yourself a brand new sony xdr-f1hd for under $100, and have some fun. | |
| Piece of Audio gear you regret selling original magnepan mg-II's. | |
| Pioneer Elite A-35r and Magnepan MMG's i used a pair of mmg's for 12 years; they'll take all the clean power you can hand them. 65w will be enough in that size room... just don't get carried away with the volume control. | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? back in the 70's; crown es-224's. | |
| Best budget speakers for a Fisher X100 amp really can't beat the csw 6's for the price. | |
| Size matters Smaller that is small speakers are nice, and a lot of fun, but i've found you have to be able to move some air to get it done right. | |
| Modern twist on 70's speaker design? the only affordable speakers of that type still available that i know of are cerwin-vegas. i've always thought that everyone should have a pair hidden in the closet for the times when your friends have gone, and you want to raise the roof a little. | |
| Infinity Beta 50 speakers; how do they compare? i've lived with a pair of beta 50s for almost 4 years now, and i'm very pleased with them. i don't believe they're in production anymore, but the revel concerta f-12 is the same speaker, albeit at 3 times the infinity's street price. | |
| Buying used vs. New Actually, now that I think about it, of all the used equipment I've bought, there was only one piece that didn't give me trouble, a Scott solid-state integrated amp from the late 70's. Built like a tank it was. Sold it to a friend who still enjoys... | |
| Those simpler times..... Yessir, didn't know nothin' about nothin', just listened to records. | |
| lps sound bad I've had the same experience. Seems like the best recordings I have were made in the 50's. Might try a few Original Jazz Classics. Ten bucks apiece at AcousticSounds. | |
| How Many Turntables Have You Owned Electrophonic, Garrard, countless ARs, ADC, Kenwood KD-650 (so beautiful), Dual, Fons, Technics. | |
| Looking for good quality vintage speakers How about a new "vintage" speaker? Might try the Cambridge Soundworks Model 6. Acoustic suspension, retro looks, the last of Henry's 6's. I bought a pair just to have them. | |
| why are two subs harder to place than full range? For more than a dozen years I used a pair of Magnepan MMGs, each sitting atop its own PSB Alpha subsonic. The combination looked beautiful, and sounded wonderful. I positioned them where the MMG's sounded best, and the subsonics always followed gr... | |
| Speakers better than the MMGs? I sold my MMG's after my wife bought me a pair of Infinity Beta-50's (she said they looked "sweet"). If you can handle using a "mainstream" speaker in the midst of audiophilia, they're a good choice. |
