| HELP!!!! Newbie looking for a decent 2 channel power amp in the $1,000 range Lots of good info here from others. Here is my advice based on my experience, FWIW. Get two Outlaw Audio monoblocks if you have the room. Previous generation monoblocks (Model 2200) are awesome and have a low height profile. Their new generation ... | |
| Speakers that sound great in terrible rooms I unfortunatwly have no personal experience with Ohm Walsh speakers (yet,) but I'm surprised no one else has mentioned them. (At least I didn't spot anyone mentioning them during a quick skim of the responses.) One of the most commonly praised asp... | |
| Popular new/used SS stereo power amps under $2500? Like devilboy, I was going to suggest a PS Audio S300 stereo amp. You can't go wrong with Parasound either.

| Best bookshelf speakers I would recommend the KEFs. You'll be hard-pressed to find bookshelf speakers in that price range that image better and they provide fantastic detail. However, as decent as the KEFs are with regard to bass output and extension, there are better op... | |
| Longer speaker cables or interconnects I'll defer to an expert whose advice tends to make a lot of sense because he justifies his claims either with measurable scientific fact, or from his extensive experience in the industry. Plus I've learned a lot from watching his video series and... | |
| In need of advice: amplifier I have been researching stereo and multichannel amps in this price range recently. I used a Parasound HCA-2505a and was impressed with its performance, especially in the lower end. This you can find for $1k or less, so in your price range I would ... |
