| Merlins under $3,000? I think you'll have a hard time finding VSMs under $3000. I'm not sure why you "need" floorstanders. TSMs with a reasonably good sub are terrific!p.s. I've owned both VSMs and TSMs. I presently own TSMs | |
| Keith Jarrett There are several that I love, in addition to the Blue Note. I don't have them here at work, but The Out of Towners and Whisper Not are two that come to mind. You're in for a treat, because there are a lot that are great. Be sure to see him live i... | |
| Used players better than $1.2K 13 yr old player? I doubt if you'll find one of these used for $500 or less, but, if you can, I'd highly recommend the modified Denons - modified by companies such as APL, Exemplar, Modwright, etc. I owned both G&D transports and the player. The modified Denons... | |
| for Bill Evans fan Waltz for Debby and Sunday at the VV | |
| "Best" speakers new/used under $3,000? I too would consider Merlins if I were you. | |
| Anyone have/heard Cerious Tech. React1 speakers? I have not heard them, but based on his work with Unity, and what he's done with his interconnects, and the lengths to which he has addressed several important aspects of speaker design, I'd bet the speakers are very good. | |
| Must Hear Speakers in $10K range I agree about Rockports. Not easy to find at 10k, though. | |
| Should i go Boulder 1060 or Jeff Rowland 625 I know this doesn't address your question, but - if I were in your shoes - I would be thinking more about new speakers than either the Rowland or Boulder. Both great amps, but they're not cheap. For the same or slightly more money, I'd be wanting ... | |
| Name your favorite sax solo. I'm a big jazz fan. And yet, I have to say my favorite sax solo is Clarence Clemons on "Jungleland". Not for his technique or ability, however. There are obviously much better solos, if we're talking about improvization, creativity, etc. I pick th... | |
| Wilson Wat Puppy 7 or Avalon Opus Ceramique? And then, of course, there is the Fletcher-Munson curve to consider, if Mike is going to play music at low volumes. Given that, a small, high-quality monitor with a sub (or subs) might be a good choice. I suppose he could get an integrated amp wit... | |
| Audiolab, Rowland integrated - nothing in between? Thanks, Mik971. Unfortunately, best you've used is not of much help without knowing what else you've used. | |
| Sophomore Slump? The best 2nd albums of all time A few that came to mind: Bruce Springsteen's The Wild, The Innocent, and the E-Street Shuffle; Chicago second release; Allman Bros. Idlewild South; Neil Young's Everybody Knows This is Nowhere; Jackson Browne's For Everyman | |
| All time favorite speaker cables Definitely Elrod Power Systems for me. | |
| OPPO BDP95 anybody have any comments yet? Suggest you do a search here, as there have been quite a few comments already on other threads. Also suggest you search at avsforum.com and audioasylum.com | |
| What stand mount monitors works w/ Pass XA 30.5? I'd seriously consider Merlin TSMs. |
