Budget High effeciency speakers
try to find a nice set from our Canadian friends. Paradigms. PSB or Mirage. all are easy to drive and should do the trick for you. An 8" or twin woofers are recommended. Good luck! 
Sub recommendations - vienna acoustics Bach grands
Take a look at the REL sub woofers, plenty of models and price points and they can be setup to use with music and high level inputs that are adjustable separately as well as a direct input connection for movies. It is the best sub woofer I ever ow... 
Hello - Need Help Please
what's wrong with a Tivoli system? They have everything you would need for that size room as long as you don't want to blast the windows out. And are so tiny that their almost invisible. Enjoy the music! 
Integrated amp: Can it perform equal to separates?
I also have limited space for my audio, so I use an integrated amp rated at 100W per side. I have used several SS but tend to like the hybrids better for my taste. A lot of good ones out there, new and/or used. 
McIntosh ML 4C speaker offer
hi, these speakers are tanks in size and weight. The foam surrounds should be replaced as well as the crossovers checked. They are power hungry and do best with around 150 to 200 watts. The sound is enjoyable and smooth with great bass but they ar...

today i got my new Focal Electra 1038BE ,help
Hi, If these speakers are brand new I would wait until they are "broken in" first before I did anything with my other equipment. The break in process might take at least 100 hrs or more and the sound should just keep getting better. Good luck.

I would like some feedback on a int. amp

I would like some feedback on a int. amp
I have speakers that are 89dB efficiency. Now I have Usher V601 but will upgrade when $ is available and I am using a NAD C 720BEE for power with these.

Need advice for my Jolida 302BRC
I had one of these and it sounded great. Here is what I did: I got more bang for my buck by upgrading the stock 12AX7's and the 12AT7 (I think)tubes with amperex or mullards first. Then I upgraded the stock power tubes (El34's) with Mullard reissu...
