| What makes a speaker too big for a given room? What Stanwall said. If you cant get far enough away, then you might hear each driver seperately instead of as one wavefront. Some time aligned speakers are designed with a certain listening distance in mind. Also, bass notes have a long wavelength... | |
| Simaudio doesnt stock parts for discontinued produ Look, I asked for one part and was told they dont have it because the unit was discontinued in 2010. No other comment and I didnt start asking about parts I didnt need. So my heading accurately reflects my experience and Simaudio's response. If yo... | |
| Simaudio doesnt stock parts for discontinued produ I might understand that a certain electronic component has been discontinued, but there is usually a replacement. A faceplate doesnt have any option to buy elsewhere, and since one of their sales promotions is that you can get the equipment in two... | |
| Personal speaker evolution Started with:Dynaco A-25 40 years ago, thenKef C-80, PSB4t, Nht Classic 3, PSB t65, psb Stratus Gold.Speakers tend to be the more stable part of my systems. | |
| Simaudio doesnt stock parts for discontinued produ Yeah, I was really disappointed because I was considering going to an all Simaudio setup, but clearly not now. Any other manufacturers have the same parts policy? | |
| Suggestions for rock music I have also had good response from PSB, Oracle and Sota. My point was that Vortex was eliminating PSB because he wanted more contact with the owner/designer. While I didnt talk to Paul at PSB, their service people have always been very knowledgeab... | |

| audiophile rockers Anything that Alan Parsons put his hand on, starting with Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon and on to his own recordings. | |
| Finally saved 3000 what is a good setup. Pick the PSB or Paradigm speaker that tickles your fancy and suits your needs. There is no better bargain in speaker audio today. Buy used for an even better deal. Get an integrated amp. There are any number of them under $1000 used such as Dussun... | |
| Speakers suggestion that can be driven hard The PSB Stratus Gold can play loudly and take a lot of power, but if you underpower it, like any speaker, you will blow the tweeters due to distortion, not power. | |
| Speaker recommendation I just paid %350 for mine Silvers in black. but i think that was a great deal | |
| System The NHT Classic 10 and 12 subs are reasonably priced and are quick enough to be used with music. I use them with NHT Classic 3s. | |
| Need Help Choosing Good Value Used Speaker $2,000 PSB Golds can usually be found for well under $1000. Their Image 6t iw a real bargain at $1000 new. The Synchrony Two should be found used for less than 2k. All good choices | |
| Speaker recommendation I am listening to PSB Golds as I type this. There is plenty of strong tight bass. However, your room is very small, and may never be able to produce enough bass without being boomy. I have used the Silvers side by side with the Gold and while not ... | |
| Vintage or new turntable A Sota Star or Sapphire, series III and above, can usually be found in your budget and is a great deal on a vintage table that can be upgraded as your budget allows. |
