| Speaker recommendations :-) I replaced MartinLogan Monolith II's with Philharmonic Audio BMR Towers. Everyone who has heard both in my house are unanimous; the Towers are hands-down better. I listen to a variety of music, mostly soft jazz, both vocal and instrumental. No ... | |
| The best speaker cables you’ve had Owned and heard: Transparent Reference I have Transparent from needle or laser to speakers. | |
| Candidates for best speakers in the $2000-5000 market +1 for the Philharmonic BMR Towers I had Martin Logan Monoliths 2 for over 20 years. They were a little lacking in bass. A series of events mandated a change. I considered another ML hybrid but decided against them primarily for cost and the W... | |
| Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll Have you done away with your Class A Amp due to Heat concerns? No. Because mine don't generate heat. Will you be moving away from Class A Amp due to Heat concerns? No. See above. Will you never buy a Class A Amp due to Heat concerns? No. Mo... | |
| Which Solid State amplifier would you recommend for my budget? I'm not familiar with the specific Threshold on your list but I'm a serious Threshold fan. I have SA-200 monoblocks. After 20 years of use one of my cats decided to pee on one of them. I bundled both up and sent them to Threshold for them to lo... | |
| Cartridge recommendations Thank you to everyone who offered advice or opinion, it was helpful to hear other views. The resolution of this is that I'm going to get a SoundSmith Zephyr Mk 3. Don't know yet whether it will the the high output or the low. My phono preamp ca... | |
| Cartridge recommendations If you have the arm for it... That's an interesting question. I don't know the answer. I have an Eminent Technology II, (mounted on on a VPI HW-19 MK II) I'll have to dig out the ET owner's manual to see what the specs are. Since the tone arm ... | |
| Control amps: suggestions needed Considering he got the Yamaha only a few days (like 2 or 3), I don't think he would look kindly on that suggestion In essence I agree with you. I tried top talk him into better equipment acquired more slowly. | |
| Control amps: suggestions needed The inevitable question. I haven't asked that of him. I was hoping to just throw a bunch of suggestions at him (with commentary) and let him rise (or sink) to the level he feels comfortable. I think he might choke at $1,000, so aim at lower tha... | |
| Help fine-tune my speaker search I was debating with myself about whether to respond because the speakers I will recommend are difficult to find to audition. And I've found only one review. The debate ended when jgueron suggested the same speaker. The BMR Tower. I can't com... | |
| Up to $4000US tower speakers for Jazz and Classical Music I agree with twoleftears in recommending a pair of BMR towers. I just bought them. With shipping, they were pennies under your limit. Dennis sells them directly so there is little chance you will find them in any showroom, audiophile or mass ma... | |
| Philharmonic Audio BMR Towers I received my towers two weeks ago. I love them. They're replacing MartinLogan Monolith 2's. The towers have better bass. The balance is different than the Monoliths. No really serious listening to them yet but they sound fantastic. Well wor... |
