need help with speakers $1200 hopefully less
For the kind of music you like (Jazz), small room footprint, and budget I would recommend you take advantage of either Totem Model 1s currently selling in Agon for $800.00 and $880.00 respectively. I doubt you will find a better speaker for your t...

Not as much activity on analog here
Whart,"Ultimately, it's a personal question; i have found that over the years, my focus has changed, and changed again, sometimes I am on a mission w/ respect to upgrades, and other times, I've gone through periods where I didn't even bother with ...

Golden Ear Triton7 spk: High-end or just mid -fi??
Trust me on this one, specially with your music selection, Totem Model 1s and save lots of money. Another speaker that may work extremely well in your small footprint room based on your listening taste, Dali Zensor 3s. Outstanding reviews on the E... 
Golden Ear Triton7 spk: High-end or just mid -fi??
I have to agree with Johnnyb53. I own the 7s and I love them! Definitely high-end driven by Cronus Magnum with KT120s. Like Johnny said, they produce lots of bass and it may overload your small room. My listening room is 20x15, 9 high and they sou... 
Decware Torii owners: speaker recommendations?
Why not Decware speakers? 
Recomendation on turntable for less than $1500
Same here Raymonda, never listened to the Thorens TD 150 so I cannot comment on its sound qualities. Seems to have been well engineered and very similar to the Sondek LP12 in appearance.I'm curious as to which four? I'm guessing RP6, Traveler, Con...

Best Cheap Speakers - New or Old
Old - Fried BetasNew - Pioneer SPBS22-LR 
recommend a mini monitor over 93db $1,000 value
Second Lindisfarne,Decware model DM945 or DM946, both under $1,000.00 and 94dB, perfect for 2 watt amps. Best part is that, if I'm not mistaken, they offer a 30 day trial so you may be able to return the speakers if you don't like them. 
Inexpensive pair of bookshelf speakers.
Ok folks,MSPs have been up and runnnig for almost a week now. I would say between 18 - 20 hours of break in. I've used both of my trusted integrated amps (Tandberg 3012A SS and Cronus Magnum KT120 tube) with great results. Listening strictly to an... 
The best Standmount Loudspeaker $6k or under
What? I'm confused with your thread Audioman58, or is it just an add?Never heard the Carbons and I'm sure they sound pretty good but my favorite all time standmount goes to Spiral Groove Canalis Anima.
