| A dedicated HT speaker used under 2,000.00/pair I would agree that the Legacy Signature 3's are a step up in performance over the Studio 100's(at $3800 they should be!) but for the price of the used legacy's you can get brand new studio 100's. Also, this is a HT set-up he is putting together he... | |
| A dedicated HT speaker used under 2,000.00/pair Paradigm Reference Studio 100's are almost unbeatable in this price-range. Reviewers and consumers alike rave about these phenominal speakers. | |
| Am I the only one who thinks B&W is mid-fi? I personally don't care for B&W sound either. I have compared them extensively with several others in an unsuccessful attempt to see what all the clamor is about with the B&W sound. In a direct A/B comparison, the Thiel 2.3's sounded much ... | |
| Best Amp for under 10K? The Plinius SA-250MKIII or MKIV. gives you all a person could ask for in sonic bliss. Runs class A up to 250watts and can be mono'ed to 1000watts class A. Also has the ability to run AB at the flick of a switch. SERIOUS audiophile equipment. Good ... | |
| Acurus A200 vs Adcom 5800 sonic frontiers......acurus......hmmmmmmmm.... it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that one out. I hate to inform you but some will say ML's are borderline unlistenable too. doens't mean the person have limited hearing or listening experi... | |
| Best powered Subwoofer for HT only... Under 1000 The paradigm PW2200 is the sub I recommend under $1000. I have used the HSU and didn't care for it. and it was UGLY. A HSU TN1225 would be a better choice from that company if you are willing to go to $1000. | |
| Acurus A200 vs Adcom 5800 I disagree with the others. I'd go Aragon, Acurus and Adcom as a last resort. The Acurus amp is quite a unit. Adcom is basically junk. The 5802 is better than the others but not close to the Aragon. go to audioreview to look to see what others hav... | |
| Used 750-1000 CD Player Advise Look for a PD-93 Pioneer Elite. World class CD player. I cannot say enough good things about it. The construction makes most new CD, SACD, DVD players look like toys! And the sound it breath-taking! | |
| Passive or Active Sub??? I'd also say it is a good bet to try the HSU subs. for the money they are as good as you'll find......for the money. Can be boomy and tough to integrate without a quality XO though. The good thing about powered (active) subs is that they generally... | |
| Good upgrade amp for my Thiel 3.6s the SA-250MKIII is just a great extension of the sound of the SA-100MKIII. you can't go wrong either way. | |
| Good upgrade amp for my Thiel 3.6s I would have to give Plinius a vote hear. The SA-100MKIII would be an excellent choice. Pure class A up to 100 watts would make your speakers come alive. They look sweet too! I've used them with a set of 2.3's and it was nothing short of marvelous. | |
| A dedicated HT speaker used under 2,000.00/pair are you looking for a complete set-up for $2K or just your mains? | |
| Best Sounding used amplifier under 1000??? HA!!! to the other choices (kidding guys!!) If you can find this gem, an EAD Powermaster 500 is incredible. Should be able to find one easily for under a grand and its design helps it excel in stereo listening as much as it does in HT applications... | |
| Maggie 1.6's and Power. How much is enough? Your power will be slightly lacking for demanding HT and music listening. tireguy is correct about the center channel. you'll need to do a fair amount of channel level setting to get an acceptable blend up front. There are Maggie centers but the a... | |
| NHT 2.9 or B&W CDM9NT Now Hear This!!! B&W sound weak compared to the NHT speakers. I did a very extensive in store demo yesterday with a set of NHT's, B&W's, Paradigms, and PSB's and the B&W's you mentioned were sad. I have never liked B&W sound and ev... |
