| upgrade path from Dynaudio 52SE My solution to compromised listening room design is to sell my house and build another one!While tuning your room, speaker and listening positions are very cost effective (and just plain effective) tweaks, you can probably get greater subtlety, de... | |
| preferred interconnect for FM tuner Thanks Al,Even on the strongest stations, this is not the quietest or highest resolving tuner. With that said, it has good overall tone and sounds "pleasent" enough, especially with the previous ICs I had on it. The AQ Diamondbacks seem to fight a... | |
| Integrated Amp Jumpers Caps - yes, silver fuses from HiFi Tuning or other source - no. | |
| $300 Budget - help 1a. It is definitely worth it to play around with an entry level vinyl set up - but beware - it is a gateway drug1b. Or, playing on the theme above - if CD is like a topless bar - budget vinyl is like going out in Las Vegas, Hawaii or Florida - an... | |
| Rules for matching subwoofers to room size Thanks,I like the the overall presentation of the Revels - the F52's are very nice and I think a good value in a full range speaker - not very far off the Salon Studio2 IMO. I spent a fair bit of time with the M22's and enjoyed every minute, but t... | |
| Rules for matching subwoofers to room size Funny you should mention the Revel F52 - was considering a pair of used F32's for the fronts. Budget for whole 5.1 or 7.1 speaker system including sub around $5K+- used. I have some large and small bookshelf speakers that could serve as surrounds ... | |
| Integrated Amp Jumpers Excellent - good luck. Now you should contact the Cable Company and check out silver fuses and an upgraded power cord for your amp if you have not already. Both provided improvements similar to higher quality jumpers, and for me the improvements w... | |

| B&W 805s vs PSB Synchrony Two For Tubes I would suggest something with at least 80W, for Solid state, as suggested above 200 watts/ch or something with a TON of current would punch the 805's ticket.Assuming the choice is $1749 for the Synchrony Ones, or the same amount for an ... | |
| Rules for matching subwoofers to room size Now we are talking - thanks all for your input. I actually do not have the mains (or really much of any of the equipment) I will use in this room yet. Most of my current two channel system will go to my new modest sized living room and I will star... | |
| Tips for designing listening room from scratch Crna39,Wow! Thanks for the tip, can see why you pointed me in this direction given all the questions I ask above. Looks like they have consulting services to match pretty much any budget.Your mastering studio looks fantastic by the way. | |
| Integrated Amp Jumpers That is what I tested as jumpers - 0.5m Diamondback interconnects. On the face of it, the construction appears similar between the dedicated AQ jumpers and the AQ Diamondback/King Cobra interconnects, they use similar solid wires in PE air tubes (... | |
| Replacement CD on a tight budget? Do you want CD or DVD/CD player?For CD only - look at used NAD, Rotel, Cambridge or Sony ES players as suggested above. ebay is going to be another potential source for this type of purchase if selection limited on Agon.For DVD - suggestions above... | |
| B&W 805s vs PSB Synchrony Two I you want to keep your current amp, you would probably happier with the PSBs as they are technically and practically more efficient than the notoriously power hungry 805s, and will go lower.Or you could do as suggested above and ditch the amp for... | |
