| integrated help please Nad M2 is worth adding to your shortlist | |
| Looking for a great value integrated I think you'd have to spend a bit more to upgrade the NAD - next steps up would be the NAD M3, Naim XS, Primare I32.To upgrade the Rotel, I would recommend the Exposure 2010S2 or indeed the Rotel RA-1520.All these sound very different so it would ... | |
| Out Of Studio Monitoring And Into Hi-Fi Quite a large room. Don't know why you wouldn't consider floorstanders, which would take up the same size as standmounts + stands??If going for standmounts, I'd add the Revel M22 to your shortlist. | |
| sub-woofer recommendation for 2.1 channel A long time ago, I had the Primare A20 MKII (your amp's ancestor) with Dynaudio 52 monitors.I used the REL Strata III sub via high level outputs; it blended very well.I don't think you need to spend big bucks to get the benefit you're looking for.... | |
| Amp recommendations for Aerial 5B's? The RA-1520 is a fine budget integrated, but you might get more bang for your buck going used. | |
| Shouldn't done that... I've heard the Stello DA200, on which the DA100 Sig is based, and really liked it. I doubt there's be anything to "blow it away" sub $1,000. That being said, $1,500 is a bit of a dead zone for coax based DACs. The value curve seems to peak just be... | |
| Help Recommend a Good System for $2000. Full range down to 38hz - there's no escaping the laws of physics, you need something kind of big. How about Revel F12s? Considering a sub at a later date might open up your options.In terms of front-end, not clear if you're looking for a Blu-Ray ... | |
| Speaker cable recommendations please Joncourage - I've had both the Cleardays and Kimber 8TC in my system and would recommend you try both. It might also be good to include something from Cardas in your shortlist, as it's meant to work well with Ayre and could balance out your Amphio... | |
| Which way to go with my PC Audio setup? Patrickrealtor76, you could just get a combined streamer/DAC/preamp like the Squeezebox Transporter, which has a plugin for Spotify | |
| Is the Squeezebox Touch complicated? Getting the Touch to work is as complicated as adding a new client to your home network | |
| Best Speakers for around $2000 For that space, I think you should be looking at sealed or front-ported monitors. I'd second the recommendation to go hear the ATC SCM11 | |
| $2000-$3000 integrated with DAC ??? I'd add the new NAD C390DD amp to your list - a take on their M2 | |
| Best DAC under 2k US ? I heard the Calyx and would say it meets your ask dead on. Natural sounding but still musical and sweet. Detailed without being etched. | |
| New Speakers for $2000 Hey Ninjasquirt. You described your sonic tastes pretty well - the first thought that came into my head was something with a ribbon tweeter and Scanspeak drivers. Not many of those around from the traditional commercial manufacturers, but there ar... | |
| interconnects & powercords on subwoofers??? I've tried a few different power cords and interconnect cables with my sub. Every after market cable was better than stock, that's for sure. Notes are better defined, basically.However, I did not get any huge benefit from using an expensive Kimber... |
