| Have looked at so much I have confused myself... I think with your budget for everything you want to do wont get you there and you'll be faced with the same situation. I would work on componets first then speakers. It also depends on how critical you are about sound quality! There are many out t... | |
| Long-term Optrix users: any complaints? I have also noticed streaking with the optrix and will be using something different! I've use a cloth for cleaning computor parts as it's soft with no lint and still leaves residue! The optrix is made by Compact Dynamics which also makes CD magic ... | |
| Speaker suggestion for McCormack DNA 225 DLX I agree with above, I think you need to work first on speaker placement and consider trying wires. Room treatments will also help a great deal.

| Too much power? Higher quality and less power gets my vote!Something around 100 watts will do just fine!Happy Listening | |
| Floorstanders on wood floor, help Dougdeacon, Some spikes will do a better job coupling the speaker to the floor as I find brass spikes work best for both audio componets and speakers. The tube traps or Echo Busters both work great. I use the Echo Busters and Bass Busters and impr... | |
| Tweeter hiss? Good Move! I run Classe and enjoy there sound alot, never bright and never wears you out! You may be able to pick up some seperates for less than you think and sell the rotel to pay for the rest. BTW Classe makes a nice intgrated. Maybe do this in... | |
