| Help Inherited Sonus Faber Speakers I don't have any use for them and would love to sell them and put the money towards my family.Building a home audio system around these speakers could prove to be *another way* of putting money towards your family. It could redefine what home audi... | |
| Amp or Integrated amps for SVS Ultra Towers For an integrated amp, the Anthem 225 should be a good candidate. Reasonably priced and powerful. | |
| Midfi Sleeper Suggestions...2nd systems, etc.... I'll tell you a real sleeper--the Aperion 633T or its followup, the Aperion Intimus 6T. Either of these is a 6-1/2" 2-1/2 way with two 6.5" drivers and a 1" textile dome tweeter. Cabinet is 9"w x39"h x 18" d, made of 1" thick HDF throughout. Speak... | |

| New speakers for an old receiver I don't know your budget, but it seems that Tekton Lores ($1K) or Mini-Lores ($650) would be a good match. The Lores' sensitivity is 98dB with bass down into the 30's. That should maximize your available power. The Mini-Lores' sensitivity is a cla... | |
| Martin Logan Motion 20? A few years ago I auditioned the first generation of the Motion series (e.g., Motion 12) and was underwhelmed. They looked cheap and didn't sound of a piece. But a couple weeks ago, playing a hunch, I listened to the new generation Motion 40s. At ... | |
| Fun, small footprint, floor standers 10-26-13: Telescope_tradeDo you think he is even looking at this thread any more??If you mean the OP, he hasn't weighed in once since starting the thread.Anyway...Golden Ear Triton 7's, Silverline Prelude (or pluses) and PSB T-6 or T-2.The Quad 23... | |
| Fun, small footprint, floor standers Wolf: You make some good points and address something I didn't mention. Although the total open space is large, the speakers would have a solid wall behind them (2-4 feet away) and the Prelude Pluses have a rear-firing port. Also, I generally list... | |
| Fun, small footprint, floor standers 10-22-13: TbromgardYes I have the Prelude Plus in my living room. They sound great. If you like the Prelude you will love the Plus.I also am considering various speakers in the $2K range and started looking at the Prelude Plus. I would be putting ... | |
| Best speakers for $1500 or less? I listened to the Motion 40 a couple weeks ago and was really impressed with its speed and neutrality. Those Heil-type folded ribbons are very nice--clean and extended with none of the harshness you get from overshoot and oil-canning with some dom... | |

| JL Audio E112 review 10-18-13: James63Not much interest in these I guess. Maybe they're just too new for many of us to form an opinion. I have heard some JL Fathoms (very impressed), but not the new E-series. I just looked over the user guide and it looks like the E-s... | |

| Looking for $1500-2500$ speaker system With Emotiva's current sale, there's no excuse not to get separates with some power. You will never hear what your speakers have to offer if you insist on driving them with a mass market receiver. Right now you can get a full-function 2-channel pr... |
