| Need advice, good budget Integrated and CD player Rotel, Creek, and NAD offer excellent value for the beginner/budding audiophile, or for anyone who appreciates quality sound. Your friend could easily pick up a matching pair of components (new or used) from any of these manufacturers, spend a few... | |
| Audiophiles... Why Men? Any woman here? Some of you boys crack me up! | |
| Looking for the king of mini monitors under $1500 The Spendors mentioned above are worthy of consideration. They are very natural sounding, with a midrange that all classic Spendors are known for. I listened to just about every type of music through my old Spendors, and they never disappointed me... | |
| $1000 to spend on an amp used You have lots of options, for sure. I tend to agree with Warnerwh in that your best bet may be to get a used Rotel power amp like an RB-990, RB-1070, or RB-1080 for $400 to $600 and spend the rest on a better CDP. Original Rega Planets go for ... | |
| any thoughts on speakers to match a Rotel amp? I have a friend who is running Vandersteens with an all-Rotel system. In my opinion, the combo sounds very good.Good luck! | |
| better ears than budget, so i would like to think There are lots of pieces from Rotel, Creek, and NAD that would fit your budget. Personally, I would rank them in that order (others will disagree).Right now on Audiogon there are a couple of nice Rotel power amps in the $500-$600 range, and a hand... | |
| Speakers for vocalists Any of the classic Spendor speakers will do exceptionally well at vocal reproduction. | |
| Speakers for quality listening & occasional party Meadowlark Swifts would work well for you provided that you don't require tons of bass for your dance music. The used asking prices are typically $600 to $700, and I believe that represents a good value.Good luck! | |
| Anyone tried Signal Cables speaker wires for B&W? Signal Cable has a money-back guarantee. Order the speaker cables, do approximately one week's worth of break-in, and listen for yourself. All you will risk is the shipping cost and a little time and effort.Good luck! | |
| Any suggestions for a good speaker match for Naim Nobody has mentioned Spendor? Spendor and Harbeth are supposed to be excellent matches with Naim gear.Good luck! | |
| Amplification with Harbeth Loudspeakers I've heard Bryston with Spendors and the pairing was really very good - most people say that Harbeths and Spendors have similar sound characteristics. I should admit that I have no personal experience with Harbeths, so take my comment for what it'... | |
| Receiver suggestion for Kresel 2 I agree with Sfar in that Rotel offers great value. I had a Rotel integrated powering a pair of Meadowlark Swifts in a bedroom system and I thought it was a good match for casual listening.You didn't mention your budget, however another receiver t... | |
| Cobalt cable theory on bi-wiring. Fact or fiction? I will not even attempt to participate in the technical analysis of the merits of bi-wiring. What I want to add is that I can definitely hear a difference, and - yes - I have participated in 'blind' listening experiments to confirm this.Of course,... | |
| floorstanding speakers for NAD C-320BEE amp I'll second the suggestion of original Meadowlark Kestrals, and add that you may wish to check out Meadowlark Swifts as well. | |
| To Biwire or not to biwire In my experience, bi-wiring is always an improvement. I do somewhat agree with the opinion held by some individuals that high quality single speaker cables will often outperform modest quality bi-wire speaker cables. However, if everything is equa... |
