| Integrated Amp for Vandersteens I have a friend running Vandersteens with an all Rotel system and his setup sounds as good as systems I've heard costing a lot more.I don't know anything about the Arcam or the MF, but I think that the Creek will leave you wishing for a bit more p... | |
| Audio House Boys, you need to spend a day or two looking at real estate for sale in the San Francisco Bay Area. In the Silicon Valley you MIGHT be able to find such a house for $750,000 - but it probably would not have a basement. Real estate prices are crazy... | |
| Speakers that sing Good recommendations above. For vocals and acoustic jazz I would look for a pair of Spendor SP-100s (if you have the space for them). New, with stands, they will still run toward the low end of your budget.I've heard SP-100s paired with a Bryston ... | |
| Wife is remodeling - spkr cable recommendation pls Guys, I think he's looking for cables for his 2-channel setup - not cables for rear surrounds.Wstritt - If I were in your position I would take a look at Signal Cable. You should be able to get a good pair of shotgun bi-wire speaker cables at that... | |
| rega planet 2000 & audio refinement amp? I'll second the Blue Heaven. | |
| Totem Sttaf, Any Comments? I liked the Sttafs a lot. We had a pair in the house for seven or eight months and they held their own against some much larger competition. I'm with Celtic in that they are great speakers for acoustic material. | |
| What speaker for Bryston 14B-SST? Ats - As previously stated, with a 14B-SST you could run just about anything. You didn't indicate a budget, but if I were in your position I would probably end up with a pair of Spendor SP-100s (if price was a factor).I had some friends (who have ... | |
| Does your system reflect your personality? Well, my system doesn't reflect my personality, but it does resemble me nonetheless. It is clean, tidy, inexpensive, and performs exceptionally well given its modest origins. | |
| 2-Way Floorstander, $1500 As above, I agree that Vandersteens are very good, especially for the price (but no veneer). I've heard the Totem Hawk which I liked as well, but if I were buying in your price range I might take a look at (used) Meadowlark Shearwater Hotrods. On ... | |
| Getting started, need amp recommendation Rotel and NAD offer good value in your price range. As Unclejeff indicated, there have been lots of similar discussions here, so do research the archives.Good luck! | |
| tubes with thiel, meadowlark or revel If you are considering the Kestrel 2s, you should also look into a pair of Shearwater Hotrods (I doubt that you'll find Ospreys within your budget). While I haven't heard the Kestrel 2s, I lived with a pair of Shearwaters for over a year and I was... | |
| Amp, preamp & tuner for $4K Sogood51 – I appreciate your detailed response.Initially, I thought that I would just go out and buy a new Adcom GFP-750 (to replace my old one) and spend the remaining money on a new amplifier. After additional consideration, however, I thought t... | |
| just got a rega mira 2000...need a good cdp You can't go wrong with a Rega Planet or Jupiter, and you've already stated that you like the combo.Good luck! | |
| Amp, preamp & tuner for $4K After additional thought, let's just forget the tuner for now - so it's $4K for a NEW amp/preamp combo. | |
| NAD C270 Viridian's statement is almost certainly correct - 'A CDP upgrade will yield the best increase in clarity and smoothness.'Assuming that you like your B&Ws and you'll be keeping them for some time, I second the recommendation of a CDP upgrade. ... |
