| Monitor speaker with the best bass at $500 used Zydo, I am sorry but the PSB Alpha 1 reviews are not convincing to me; they have little bass. In addition, I would use them occasionally as an alternative to my main system speakers, but they would be plugged into major electronics and not a NAD i... | |
| Capacitance loading for AT 150 mlx cart 04-17-12: Dhl93449Johnyb:Where can I get a 100 pF RCA/DIN phono cable? Most manufacturers of aftermarket versions don't spec the capacitance. ADC made a 100 pF special version back in the day, but this is NLA and I have never seen a used one.FYI t... | |
| Capacitance loading for AT 150 mlx cart Swap to a 100 pF arm cable if you can. I've been using an AT150MLX for 4 years and love it. I currently have a JoLiDa phono stage with highly adjustable capacitance. I have a Technics SL1210 M5G TT whose arm cable capacitance is 100 pF. I have pla... | |
| Cartridge upgrade for $600 Among great-performing MM/MI carts at $400-600 are the Audio Technica AT150MLX (TAS's Cartridge of the Year), Ortofon 2M Black, Grado Reference Platinum or Sonata, something from Goldring or one of the MM Clearaudio wood bodies. I have had and lov... | |
| Help me recommend some speakers for a friend I second a subwoofer, but not necessarily a REL. Lotsa good subs out there, such as JL, Martin Logan, PSB, Paradigm, B&W, etc. For KEF monitors I would have looked at the XQ series from Vanns.com for near what he paid for the IQ's. Should have... | |
| Wilson Audio sophia 3 or Watt Puppy 6 04-15-12: Ricred1Johnnyb53My room is 24' x 26'and today I decided I will get Sasha's. If all goes well, I hope to have them in the next few months.Good answer. Sashas are incredible and can draw you deeply into the music. Congrats on your decision. | |
| Floor Standing Speakers to Monitors and Subwoofer How about getting the LSi/9's and a sub or two? The LSi/9 has the same mid/tweet arrangement as the LSi/15 and they're only $599/pair through Amazon.. Then you can get one or two subs to blend and adjust the bass output to the smaller room.

| what is the best sounding speakers for under 5000. Can't wait to read your recap of the Cirrus vs. Tempesta smackdown! | |
| Floor Standing Speakers to Monitors and Subwoofer Ooops, and of course the Boxers! They'd be a great anchor for a 2.1 or 2.2 system because they have higher sensitivity (90 dB) than most mini's with their higher handling capacity and of course are well-known for an endearing sound that draws you ... | |
| Floor Standing Speakers to Monitors and Subwoofer Yes. It depends on the sub, sats, and implementation. I heard a Classe/B&W implementation of the B&W PM1's and PV1D sub with Classe electronics. Classe is now part of the B&W group. Anyway, the system was digitally oriented and the Cla... | |
| Where Have All the 2A3 Amps Gone The honeymoon's over. 2.5 wpc can only take you so far.Maybe somebody needs to step up with another amp like Musical Fidelity's Turbocharger line, which added several hundred watts while maintaining the source amp's sonic signature. That might bri... | |
| Wilson Audio sophia 3 or Watt Puppy 6 Room size for the speakers would make for a more informed discussion. If the room is smallish, the Sophia III is going to win in almost any circumstance, even against the Sasha. If the room is large enough, any recent W/P will have a room-matching... | |

| Good budget amp for Mirage M1 Also, carver is a name I came across with some rather powerful amps for relatively low price. The amps tend to be on the lighter side though (<20lbs). Would anyone recommend this brand to drive the M1's?Go with the Heathkit AA-1600 or AA-1800. ... | |
| High quality subwoofer - which one? 04-11-12: ErndogJohnnyb53- My experience is that everybody has an opinion about everything and so I take it with a grain of salt. The experience I trust is when I try different things and to hear how that sounds in my system with my ears. Only you... |
