| Seen the new Paradigm lineup? I heard the new Paradigm Monitor 9's playing Dave Mathews and Tim Reynolds live recently and was completely blown away - most musical sounding and balanced speaker I heard in the store that day hands down - for less than a grand! Had to think abou... | |
| Best speaker for vocals I concur on the Sonus Faber suggestions. Or the Naim Allae - I heard these recently with some better Naim electronics and WOW! | |

| A question of bass... Several actually. The source? E.g. CDP, DVD, music server/computer, Turntable, Tuner, Tape Deck, etc. - to go with your new amp and new speakers. Or maybe you are just telling me you are all set in that department... | |

| A good cartridge match for Thorens 150 mkII? Thanks much for the feedback.But is it a "pretty heavy" arm or a "light" arm??? | |
| A question of bass... Several actually. Rhanechak,Careful listening is an acquired talent, which you already have based on your first post above. But I did see an Agoner in Cleveland with a pair of experienced ears listed for sale recently, 8.5/10 condition... (sold as is). | |
| A question of bass... Several actually. Acoustat6,You need more than a sound pressure meter in my experience. Most people's ears are more sensitive than a SPL meter and can integrate a lot more information in real time. SPL meter gets you on the green - your ears take you to the cup. | |
| A question of bass... Several actually. Shadorne,There is probably some curve you can draw where the cost of accurately reproducing bass notes increases geometrically with lower frequency, requiring increasing quantities of power, woofer area and box volume and bracing. SO yes, "accurat... | |
