| Speaker upgrade for classical music I personally do not think of Marantz and audiophile quality. I use their largest receiver in our family room hooked up to a Definitive Technology surround speakers and a much better system in the living room. Perhaps you should stretch your budg... | |
| Budget tower speakers that rock! I would suggest saving up and not wasting your money. Sometimes you have to be patient or take on a second job. Perhaps call RENT A SPEAKER. | |
| For the Audiophile with a taste for good design(looks)....a question. What amazes me is how the wives let their husbands goober up their homes with such ugly gear. Things need to fit in without destroying the looks of a room. | |
| Do speaker wires matter I would bet more on buying a decent amp and decent speakers. I am sure speaker wire can make a slight difference, but how much do you spend is another question. I would think speaker wire under $1,000 would be sufficient. | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? Bet if you did a blind test, most people would buy the BlueSound Node2i. I added a DAC and had to sell it on Audiogon. The BlueSound sounded better on its own. I call it the Emperor's New Cloths syndrome. If you spend more, you convince yourse... | |
| ProAc DT8 vs D20R I just looked online at the DT8 and the DT20R. How could so few drivers produce good sound to begin with? How can one speaker share so many frequencies and image sound better than a speaker with a tweeter, a mid range speaker and one to two woof... | |
| Music bleeding at zero volume What did the dealer say? | |
| Your shipping wrecks. USPS,FED-EX and UPS Why would anyone buy from eBay. You are dealing with a bunch of amateurs. You get what you pay for. I would trust a dealer before trusting a private party trying to sell their junk. | |

| Looking for some new floor standing speakers By the way, the Focal 936's are not what you are looking for if you want bass. I listened to them and said "Where's the Bass?" If you like bass, add a pair of REL S2 SHO subwoofers. Their high level connection allows them to act like woofers an... | |
| Looking for some new floor standing speakers My first pick would be a pair of SALK Song3 Encore's for $6,000. They sound better than a pair of $20,000 speakers at RMAF. Jim Salk sells direct and by passes the dealer wholesale discounts and as a result uses expensive drivers. They are incr... | |
| Speaker upgrade They look like incredible speakers. To be curious, what kind of power do you need to drive these and what would it cost? Looks like a lot of speaker for $28,000/pair. I think they have soft dome tweeters. If so, do soft dome tweeters sound bet... | |
| How old are you? 71 years old and wishing I was working again in my industry. However, my industry has and is rapidly disappearing with the change in the way people communicate today, I loved to work rather than worked to play. | |
| Any advice? Parasound A21, Ayre V5xe, Benchmark AHB2, or Bryston 4B3? I think it all depends upon whether you like a warm sound or a brighter sound and how they match with your speakers. I would certainly try to audition them if you can side by side or at least sit down for a couple of hours to hear what sound most... | |
| The problem with Magicos So why do people by Magico's? Maybe there is something magic about the noise? How would you know this to begin with? |
