| Tannoy Speakers I own two models, the MX-1M and Fusion 1. Small bookshelf spks. Excellent overall sound. Very highly recommended. | |
| Considering Cambridge Audio Amp/CD - Need Advice Even w/an in-home audition, you do not have a point of reference as to determine how good/refined/musical a product really is w/o first having heard different levels or classes of equipment. There is entry-level/ mid-fi and high-end. What we are t... | |
| Considering Cambridge Audio Amp/CD - Need Advice I would consider buying an older Rotel Int. amp and an older RCD-855 CDP. Both could be bought for under $300 used. Or go w/ a newer Rotel RCD-975 CDP or a CAL Icon MK II/DX-2. Under $500. Any of these combinations should sound exc. w/your Paradig... | |
| biwiring using 4PR? This is the way I would do it using your 4PR. Assuming you have enough wire, cut aprx. 6" from each end of your existing cable which are attached to your spks. binding post. Make an 8 wire splice and attach this to your woofer's binding post. (I l... | |
| biwiring using 4PR? I personally would not run the the cable this way. (3 wires to woofer/1 tweeter). I really think you should consider buying some Kimber 8VS. The VS is much better cable than the PR series. I really don't think running another set of inexpensive ca... | |
| Please tell me. I am not surprised at all. I bought an older early 80's 50w Sansui Int. amp and I'm completely satisfied w/its sound and performance. Great synergy w/the the Paradigm Phantom V4 I'm currently using in my main system. Beautiful sounding system. Mak... | |
| Best Way to Approach System Building I've been involved in this hobbie since the early 70's and I've tried many components. I've come to the realization that a very satisfying system can be put together using electronics which are 15-20+ yrs old. One thing I have found that using goo... | |
| Speakers under $750.00...Preposterous Notion? Vintage Snell E-III's I believe are rated down to 39Hz +/- 1.5dB. 91dB 1w. 6 ohm. I own a mint pair and they are worth seeking out. Another great floorstanding spks. if you are able to find are Paradigm Phatom V4's. (Rated down to 47hz. I believe,... | |
| Review: Sansui AU-7700 Amplifier Enjoyed reading your post. I'm very impressed with my vintage Sansui AU-D33 Int. amp as well. Excellent piece of equipment. I use this daily and greatly enjoy it throughly. Also own a few vintage Sony Int. amps/Receivers from the late 70's/early 8... | |
| Recommended first turntable? I like Rich's (Winegasman) answer. Bought an older Mint cond. Pioneer Direct Drive PL-670 for around $40 and replaced the stock conical cart. w/a Audio Technica AT-311 EP cart. for $40 new and it's so easy to use and sounds just fine. (I do not mi... | |
| Bi-Wiring my Vandersteen 3A with Kimber Kable I'd listen both ways and decide for yourself. IMO, the 4TC should go to the high freq. and the PR to the low freq. Midrange is most crucial and that's why I'd prefer the better cable going there. Bill | |
| Need help with wiring new Paradigms? I would hook up which ever wire you chosose w/banana conectors on the Rec. end and on the spk. end bare wire for convenience. However, I have always felt bare wire connections sound the best. If you decide on bananas, "Tributaries" makes a realy g... | |
| Upgrade advice needed Which version mini-monitor do you own? I own the Marantz SR-4500. A very nice receiver w/a really great remote, but it has limatations. I'm not too sure how it would sound using it as a pre-amp and adding an external amp. Why not get a floorstande... | |
| How do you pay? Why? I prefer to receive and send a USPS MO. I would think anyone forging such a document would be messing the US government and if sent across state lines, interstate laws would kick-in as well? I may be foolish or unknowning in this regard, but I sur... | |
| I'd love some help/opinions I don't know how long you owned your Snell loudspeakers, but you made a very fine choice! Those spks., if they sound anything like the J-IV/E-III's, have a warm balance w/good bass. They probably use Vifa drivers. Not knowing your tastes, but some... |
