| Recommendation for Music/Movies - B&W, Paradigm... I think you want some warmer speakers to go with the Onkyo. I would look at the B&W CM5, PSB Image B6 (nominally 6 ohm impedance), Paradigm SE3, Swan D2.1SE+ and Quad 12L2. | |
| Speakers for a large room for around $1000 "Clearly, the speakers and the speaker interaction with the room are key considerations, none of which almost ever synchronizes well with the WAF. "No truer words have been written here. | |
| Speakers for a large room for around $1000 Blnd2spll,I am not crazy about unique Mirage or Ohm sound. Some people love it, but it is not my cup of tea - personal preference. So I think you can't go wrong with either Vienna or Paradigm. I wonder if your local Paradigm dealer has the SE mode... | |
| Speakers for a large room for around $1000 OK, I was anticipating the WAF issue - why I hesitated with the Vandy recommendation up front, and why in part I suggested the 1c over the 2ce, which is just more of the Vandy thing visually. But the 2ce is closer to full range than any of the oth... | |
| Speakers for a large room for around $1000 Revel, very good... For 100± watts solid state. Monitor Audio very good... For a smaller room. Vienna very good, not sure how it will work in this application. A couple of other speakers that I really like but might not cut it in that space are th... | |

| Isolation Feet for Blu-ray Player? If your shelves are adjustable, try isolating them from the cabinet frame with a little piece of Blutack or sorbothane dots between the shelves and their supports, and if you don't have space in your cabinet for large wooden platforms under your g... | |
| Isolation Feet for Blu-ray Player? Sakahara,I agree with your point, my bad for not providing a complete description of how wooden blocks can help - maybe I should clarify. I suggest placing hardwood blocks under your player on top of a significant block of wood or other material t... | |
| Wyred 4 Sound STP Se preamp tweaks and upgrades ? "Try better power cords, interconnects and vibration control (good set of footers)."Yes. And try replacing the stock fuse(s) with HiFi Tuning or equivalent silver fuses. | |
| Revel Salons and Adcom amp, good match? Look for some Mark Levinson amps. | |
| The Harbeth phenomenon As an amatuer speaker builder I have come to the conclusion that Harbeths are the anti-Magico. The later are rigid and resonance free to the exxtreme - flat frequency curves, nuetral, nothing but the facts Ma'am wraped in a magnificent wood and al... | |
| Isolation Feet for Blu-ray Player? Three Hardwood blocks. Experiment with position under the player. | |
| I need help - Better DAC or NEW CD player? Demianm,Just so there is no confusion, I think the Cambridge 840 is one of the best sounding and most flexible CD players available for the money - any criticisms leveled are in the absolute sense comparing it to reference players costing many dol... | |
| Bookshelf speakers with the good bass. If you haven't already, post a separate thread on the Fritzspeakers Carbon 7. Several Agoners own them and will probably respond to a thread with the Carbon 7 name in the subject line. | |
| I need help - Better DAC or NEW CD player? ??? A really better one? The 840C is better. Nothing for $1000 is better, or likely just as good.The DACs I directed you to earlier are "really better" than the Rotel, but they cost $2K to $2.5K.I can think of other CD players for about $1500 that... |
