| Which system to buy Aragon forte or McCormack? I've heard the speakers you mentioned above but have only read about the amps. I also say your other post as well. I believe the Forte model 1a is a whole different animal (probably much improved)from the model 1 and the model 4 has a lot more cur... | |
| Need help in selling amp&preamp I agree with True and Tim. Since they haven't been used in 10 years, having a tech look them over to make sure they are operating properly will maximize what you get for them. I heard the amp (not the Gold edition) briefly many years ago. It was a... | |
| threshold fet 10 pc or CJ Motif MC-8 Sorry, I've heard neither one...aesthetically I like the Motif. Also it's much rarer as well. I tend to like rare audio gear. | |
| Midfi Sleeper Suggestions...2nd systems, etc.... before everyone chimes in on this spkr or that spkr, how bout sharing with us what the system consists of, the size of the room, how loud you listen and what kind of music you'll be listening to and your budget. That way you can get better suggest... | |
| It was 20 years ago today. . What was your system? Remember it like it was yesterday. My daughter was born 20 yrs and 2 months ago. I had ProAc Studio 1's percariously perched up on spiked & lead-filled Chicago stands...would have to get rid of them as soon as she began to crawl and find some ... | |
| What amplifier to get for Vandy 1 C's I second Robsker's opinion, a nice tube amp or tube integrated will sound great on these speakers. A local Philly dealer used to pair the 1B's with the EL34 hybrid AMC CVT-3030 (30 wpc) and it sounded terrific. I used my 1B's back in the day with ... | |
| Vintage 80s speakers...retro system...your pick? have never heard Phase Tech but I loved those little Missions...always regretted getting rid of those little Missions | |
| upgrade my amp? For $3-4K as a budget, I would also consider revamping the speakers as well. Your ceiling is only 6.5' and you have tower speakers. I believe you'd have much better results sonically with a 3 piece subwoofer/satellite system (i.e. a really nice pr... | |
| Oh, the frustrations of the speaker search After reading about 90% of this post, I wanted to weigh in on the discussion. Although this viewpoint is the minority, I have to agree with Ejlif & Fingerpaws...your not going to make an expensive pr of spkrs sing with an inexpensive amp but y... | |
| Shipping Speakers Here's what I do with monitor sized speakers:1. Buy the x-large heavy duty trash bags from Home Depot, lay the bag flat and gift wrap the speaker like you would wrap a gift;2. Buy solid sheets of styrofoam and place several inches of solid styrofo... | |
| Best bourbon? Evan Williams single barrell, Makers Mark, & Woodford Reserve are my favorites....I'm getting 2 bottles of sealed/unopened Crown Royal that's stamped 1970 or 1975 (I forget)...how good do you think this will be? | |
| Best single-malt Scotch... Not a big drinker at all, but recently been introduced to single malt scotch and have sampled: Dalwinnie 15 yr, Glenfiddich, Glenlivet, & Glenmorangie 10 yr. The Dalwinnie and Glenmorangie are my favorites but I think I like bourbon better. | |
| Integrated amp: jumpers versus cables I assume we're talking about the jumpers in the pre out/main in section of an integrated amp and not the jumpers on a bi-wire speakers. If they are designed as kind of an on/off switch to merge the amp and preamp sections together, then how does i... | |
| Anyone still playing on Cassette decks? I just got rid of my Nak BX125 so will have to find something else to play my 400 or so cassettes and also am too lazy to xfer them to digital...back in the day, mid 80's, it was between the Nak and an AIWA F990 with the horizontal type keyboard -... | |
| Mordaunt-Short loudspeakers I'm looking to pick up a pair of 25ti's locally from CL if still available. I seem to prefer a metal dome tweeter in speakers as opposed to rubber/cloth dome tweeters as I just find the metal dome is more natural sounding, but sometimes can sound ... |
