| Big Stupid Warm Speakers I guess one problem I've just been reminded of is the WAF. The wife has a problems with huge speakers. Are there any medium sized speakers with that big warm sound? I looked at the Vandersteen 3a today, and that would be about the maximum size I c... | |
| Buggtussel owners = which subwoofer? Buggtussel - wasn't that where Aunt Bea was from? | |
| Big Stupid Warm Speakers Actually I heard some Martin Logans today. Maybe they weren't warmed up or something, but the bass sounded very tubby and ill defined.I've also heard the Legacy and Dunlavy might be good candidates elsewhere. Now that I have good electronics, I'm ... | |
| Big Stupid Warm Speakers I was thinking about Vandersteens. Last time I heard them (about 15 years ago) they had the kind of warm full sound I was looking for. The problem was that things went terribly wrong and confused in the mids with focus, emphasis, etc, but if they'... | |
| Sony DVP-S9000ES vs DVP-NS999ES I currently own the 9000ES and think the quality is good enough to hold me over until I get a DVI player. Just to keep in mind, if you own a display with DVI input, the $200 Bravo DVI player will outperform ANY component out DVD player for picture... | |
| Outlaw 950 Pre-Pro I also own an Outlaw 950. Personally I really like the sound in HT. For 2 channel, it's OK IF you leave the sub on. But I couldn't honestly say its any better than OK.That's why I'm looking for a used preamp with HT bypass to mate with it for 2 ch... | |
| Audiolab info needed Anyone have opinions on the 8000Q? There's one on Audiogon and also new at artech. One seller once described it as "the most lush tubelike SS pre there is", but that doesn't sound like the majority opinion. | |
| Looking for an amazing preamp under $700 used Interesting - I read a review somewhere that the PRE could sound hard and a bit bright. It's usually priced out of my league, but its getting close. It's definitely one I'll consider if I can find it priced right. | |
| AR SP-5 or Threshold Sl-10 Thanks for the great feedback guys. Does the Threshold for around $500 seem like a good deal? Too bad about the SP5, but its what I figured based on the lack of reviews I could find about it (not to mention its $600 price new).Could you tell me an... | |
| Looking for an amazing preamp under $700 used Many good recommendations for tube based preamps here. But are there any more suggestions for SS pre's that sound "tubelike" in warmth, musicality, presence, etc.? | |
| Name this Preamp I have the Outlaw 950 and the hiss isn't an issue for me. I have to be within inches of the tweater to hear it. For the price it's hard to go wrong, though since you're into music I can't really recommend its 2 channel performance. I find it a bit... |
