| Totem Arro efficient enough for NAD C315BEE? The Arros should be a good match for that amp and your room size. If you get a much bassier speaker, it could overload such a small room. Since the room is small and the Arro has a rear-mounted port, you should get pretty good back wall reinforcem... | |
| Audio Technica AT-PL120 Questions 06-04-09: Fond_but_not_in_loveWhen I set the tonearm height to 0, the back part of the arm is still higher in the air than the needle on the record. What I mean is, the lowest setting does not make the arm parallel with the record.You need to eith... | |
| New upgrade alternatives for the Technics SL12x0 06-03-09: VinyladdictAs someone who has heard the stock SL-1200MK2 wiring, I can say with certainty that the "darkness" issue is, in fact, the stock wire. It's the weakest link on the table by a long-shot.I know conventional wisdom with regards to... | |
| OPINION ON STARTER 2 CHANNEL USED PREAMP As I said on your amp thread, forget the pawn shop separates and get an Onkyo A-9555 integrated amp. It's the same price, it's new, it has a 3-year warranty, and it sounds better than pretty much any used stack you can put together for $500 unless... | |
| Best Used under $300 2 Channel Amp You want a 2-ch power amp for <$300. You also need 2-ch. preamp. How much are you willing to pay for the pre--$200? That's a total of $500. You can get a new integrated amp for around $500 that is better than pretty much any used amp + preamp a... | |
| Klipschorn placement and power question 06-03-09: Jaybodangle 901's from the ceiling and fire up the zz top.... or 5 pairs of JBL-100's pointed at the listening area. | |
| Audio Technica AT-PL120 Questions Generally, you'll want to adjust the height so the tonearm is level when it sits down on the average record. You might want to experiment to fine tune the arm height to your listening preference. Usually level or with the fulcrum a tiny bit lower ... | |
| Klipschorn placement and power question The shop is 48Wx72Lx17H. I'd like to hear stuff like ZZ Top at live listening levels.That's almost 59,000 cubic feet. Contrast that with what most of us are familair with: An 18x20 family room with 8' ceiling is 2,880 cubic feet. Even a fairly lar... | |
| Best floorstanders under $600 Athenas would share the API "house sound" with the SD300ti's, which are also an API speaker. The Athenas are probably a little faster and cleaner.Compared to the Arros, the 300ti would sound fuller and more extended. The Arro would be faster, more... | |
| Subwoofers for Magnepan 20.1s? 06-02-09: RichlaneI would think two JL Audio f112's would be the right size for you in this particular setup, however I'm not saying that they will keep up with Maggies, actually nothing probably will, but at least they'll have a chance.Yes they w... | |
| Wilson Sophia 2 vs Revel Salon2--fair comparison? They will be palced in a 20x27' room. Power will come from an all Bryston front end including the all new 4B SST squared. Music is a mix of classic rock and jazz. I tend to value bass slam and depth as well as the ability to disappear. Coherence i... | |
| SF Guarneri with ARC Reference 110-CD7-3 ? 06-02-09: Seminot sure what Raquel's motive is, but you can always source drivers from other countries easily.I don't get it either. If you want warranty protection, buy new from an authorized dealer. Any company that offers a transferable warrant... | |
| Klipsch vs. Dynaco A25 The acoustic suspension design, and all the damping-and-current-hungry large "bookshelf" designs that followed, probably had about as much to do the with transition from tubes to transistors as anything. Tubes were ideal with high-sensitivity horn... | |
| Klipschorn placement and power question From the current Owner's Manual:Klipschorns typically perform best when positioned in the corners on the long wall of a rectangular room.If the room is very narrow and long with corners farther apart than 18 to 20 feet,the stereo image may not be ... | |
| Subwoofers for Magnepan 20.1s? I heard a pair of 20.1s supplemented by a pair of JL Fathom f212 powered subs, each sitting right next to a 20.1 panel. This was at a high end shop's open house. I could not detect any discontinuity, discrepancy in speed, lumpy response, or any of... |
