| Recommendations for a modestly-priced audio system? I've for quite a while happily had a little 25wpc Napa Acoustics integrated in my office system (driving Fostex based Brine 2000s). For laughs, I've plugged it into my main system, where a Pass Int-60 normally resides, and the Napa definitely pun... | |
| Sellers: When do you drop your price? +1 on jperry on erring to the side of underrating condition.It's a personal choice, but I find good value in forgoing some money to forgo some hassle. | |
| Sellers: When do you drop your price? As others have said, no rush to drop price, of you are not in a hurry.That said, +1 yogiboy, jperry. Unless it is a "hot" piece, in basically new condition, I'm looking to pay around minus 40% or less for used kit.For a second owner (condition th... | |

| Your advice needed, speakers to buy $8K to $13K Why is efficiency an issue, if your projected amp will be 300 watts?In your price range, Rick Craig at Selah Audio could do something really special, tailored to your tastes. Many of his designs are a little less efficient, say sub 90.Daedalus ma... | |

| Please help! First Hi-fi audio system for small listening space Sounds like fun, Tarkus!If you do not go to headphones, one of the first things I'd be thinking of is where you are able to place your speakers.In that space, will you need to place them tight to the front wall? Many speakers like room to breath... | |
| Run length Have you considered a wireless connection, like the below from SVS? They seem to be getting pretty common. I have a similar situation, and have been wondering about it.https://www.svsound.com/blogs/subwoofer-setup-and-tuning/how-to-set-up-a-wirel... | |

| Dream vs. Reality - What have you bought? Dream: Some years ago, I heard Grand Ventures (ancestors of the current Grand Ultimate Mk III?) at RMAF. Not sure 100k+ for any speakers is a good use of resources, but I thought they were absolutely stunning, and conspicuously better than many ... | |

| Pass INT-30 or INT-60 Don't know if you've pulled the trigger, tswisla, but since I extensively A/Bed both at home, I thought I'd weigh in.The bottom line is that, assuming cost is not an issue, I'm guessing most enthusiasts would prefer the INT -60 to the INT-30A.The ... | |
| Devore Gibbon X or O/96? I heard both the 0/93 and the 0/96 in John's room in RMAF a couple of years ago. I really like the speakers and the company, but it struck me that the 93 represented a better price to performance proposition than the 96, and I'm always surprised t... | |
| Best near wall high end speaker North Creek Big Kats.I have their now discontinued little brother, the Eska, in my HT, formerly in my 2ch, when I had a smaller room. Very fine.John | |
| Open Baffle Convert How far out in the room are you all placing them? The conventional wisdom that OBs require a ton of breathing room has always seemed to me a serious objection, for many of our rooms.John |
