| Speakers in 10-15K price range for Classical music Surprised no one has mentioned the Totem Wind's, Jamo Reference R909 or Thiel CS3.7 in this thread.

| Dream speakers and amp for an 11x14 room? Coverto,It is a combination of good parts, and how you put them together. McIntosh is a safe bet - my dad had a Mac amp that lasted him 30 years of trouble free service. And many people love Krell's accuracy and authority.But the proof is in the p... | |

| Hi-Fi Tuning Fuse for NAD C352? Dave_b,I cannot speak for NAD gear, but I replaced three fuses with silver fuses on an AMC integrated amp which is built in the same factory as many NAD products and is sold at essentially the same price point. All I can say is "WOW!" It made a bi... | |
