| Another "Which Bookshelf Speakers to Get" Thread 05-07-09: RyantomorrowThanks, all - I'm going to put an offer in on the Energy RC-10s, and if that falls through, will come back to the drawing board!This review may help reinforce your decision. Looks like a great speaker for the size and cost. | |
| Wilson's new speaker the Sasha is coming. 05-06-09: TvadI remember hearing the WP8 at a major audio show in 2006. The speakers were driven by ARC amplification. Stunning sound. Every reviewer was fawning over them. The "Holy Grail".Two of the best reproduced sounds I've ever heard were VT... | |
| Help with bi-wirable efficient floorstanding 2.5K Mirage OMD-15. 91dB efficient and bi-wirable. They also have excellent bass and you may not need the sub for much of your music. I have a pair, and although I'm powering them with an 85 wpc integrated, the damping factor is just 25 and yet bass is... | |
| Another Which Bookshelf Speaker Should I Get? 05-06-09: Ryantomorrow"You can probably see them at Guitar Center."I think you had me until there... ;)GC is where I got my Technics SL1210 M5G. Two years later I'm still very happy with it. Good sound is where you find it. I personally haven't he... | |
| Another "Which Bookshelf Speakers to Get" Thread 05-06-09: RyantomorrowWow, you guys certainly aren't narrowing my field down! I'm tempted by the Energys, considering they're well reviewed, real wood veneer (I'm an aesthete, as well) and $290 shipped here on Audiogon. Any other opinions on them?... | |
| Another Which Bookshelf Speaker Should I Get? PSB Image B25. Very sensitive for its size with extraordinary dispersion and linearity.You may think I'm nuts here, but maybe you should look into a pair of Cerwin-Vega CLS-10 floorstanders. Although they're kind of a frat house speaker, some new ... | |
| Can I match or beat my digital, and at what cost? 05-06-09: No_moneyand.... upgraded to the P3-24. Good show! Save yourself the hassle later and enjoy more music better sooner.Cartridge? | |
| Rega ttpsu upgrade An LP only contains amplitude information. The other two elements of music--pitch and tempo--are supplied by applying the correct speed to the spinning of the record. The more consistent and accurate the speed, the more faithful the musical retrie... | |
| Acurus A-150 v. Musical Fidelity X-150 Sell 'em both and get a Nuforce integrated. Or Bryston, if your preference runs more to something like that. Why put up with spitty sibilants on one hand and midrange glare on the other? Get something that's neutral, fast, and yet relaxed and natu... | |
| SME 20/2 sound problem. Remedy suggestions needed I totally agree with Pgtaylor. The SME turntables are far more neutral and of higher resolution than the typical mid-priced Brit belt drives from Rega and Roksan. While I've never heard any of the REALLY expensive (> $100K) turntables, the SME ... | |
| Very small very sensitive floor stander 1000? What speakers and amps are you using in the family room surround rig? Are the Arros standing in front of a wall or in free space? In other words, could you replace them in the surround rig with even less obtrusive wall-mounted speakers?And what is... | |

| Very small very sensitive floor stander 1000? 5-03-09: TvadThe Mirage speakers are almost 42" tall... 2" taller than the Preludes, and the Mirage go down to 52Hz wheres the Preludes go to 35Hz.So claims Silverline, but the href=http://www.stereophile.com/floorloudspeakers/307silver/index4.htm... | |
| Very small very sensitive floor stander 1000? 05-03-09: DgaylinAcceptable height is of course the height of the Arros because she likes those. Or a bit higher (maybe 36-37" max).If you both like the Arros, why don't you use the $1K budget for a more powerful amp instead? I suspect you need cu... | |
| Very small very sensitive floor stander 1000? 05-03-09: DgaylinAlthough the Mirage's (recommended by Johnnyb53) may be okay. I'm a tad concerned about sound quality from a dipole speaker though. The Mirages are anything but a dipole. They have a hemispherical dispersion pattern with a 60% bia... |
