| What is up with Audio Research during the pandemic? I think many companies are slow right now. I ordered a marantz integrated two months ago and still on backorder | |
| Wilson Alexia 2 Nah, go bold! Either fly yellow, viola pearl or the blue on the Wilson A2 page. | |
| Best small, desktop speakers, $500 or under (new or used) I picked up new Kef Q150s last month when they were on sale half price for $300. Some dealers may still have some at that price. They are very good. I rotate three sets of bookshelves at my office for variety. $2.2k msrp Spendor SA1’s, $600 msrp ... | |
| Diminishing Returns Kef Q150, especially when they were on sale half price for $300 couple weeks back. In my 3rd system they come close to my much higher priced ($2.2k msrp) Spendor SA1’s, just narrowly getting edged out but I rotate them in for variety. | |
| Do both cables have to be the same length? It's not an issue of timing, but can be an issue of impedance and voltage drop differences if the cables are very different lengths. | |

| Audioquest or Kimber kable. OP,if you search on YouTube, there is a review where the reviewer compares Rocket 33 to Rocket 44 and one other lower Audioquest series speaker cable. I remember watching it awhile back | |

| Anyone else impressed with modern Marantz integrated? Yep I’m waiting on a back ordered pm7000n for my office third system. Replacing a Bluesound Powernode 2. Really looking forward to it | |
| Amplifier or Receiver What’s your expected ratio of listening to 2 channel music versus watching TV/home theater (HT)?Most folks on this site are predominantly music focused (that’s why the H/T section of forum is comparatively little utilized).Are you open to more tha... | |
| Is there any streamer/integrated competitor to NAD C-388 w/BluOS2i MDC? Very few devices outside of NAD/Bluesound support Amazon yet. On a side note, I’m upgrading from my Powernode 2 to the marantz pm7000n in my third system, but it’s on backorder last 5 weeks or so.....getting impatient. | |
| Tube Preamp with Solid State Amp? Nope | |
| Your "Best of..." audio manufacturer in each state You forgot Bel Canto, Anticables and Audio Mirror for MN. Like i said above, pound for pound or per capita no state can touch MN’s list. |
