| Quad 12L Active - Power Cable Options Excellent. | |
| Sturdy earbuds under $100 Research the Yuin PK2. Fantastic ear buds that don't require an amp, for $80. As far as durability...you need to take 30 seconds and take care of them. I bought the Sony MDR-E828LP Fontopia Earbuds with Winding Case off Amazon ($10), just for the ... | |
| New Speakers for $2000 I second the Mirage OMD-15s. I had them before the OMD-28s, and they are excellent speakers. Add subs and you are rockin. :-)Mot | |
| Need Hi Eff, Omni-directional Speakers I use the Mirage OMD-5 stand mounts with a 13 watt ROTH MC4 amp, and it is more than enough power. Sounds fantastic too. :-) They are $180 a piece, new, at Vanns. I have seen them as low as $139 a piece, so call them and negotiate a lower rate. I ... | |
| Speaker suggestions at around $30k ...or the Gallo Reference 5LS with matching SA Amp. Meets your criteria, are beautiful, and 1/2 your budget. | |
| Grant Fidelity B-283 Tube Buffer: Worthwhile or No I own both the 283 for my office system, and the 283 MKII for my main system. I absolutely love them both. It made a huge difference in my office system, and smoothed out my main system just enough for me to not feel the need to go to tube amps or... | |
| Replace my Usher be718 ? My friend Bill has those and they have one of the smoothest midranges around, with fantastic bass and treble. I doubt you will find a better stand mount than those for $3k. I'd spend the money on upgrading to the diamond tweeters. Is there an area... | |
| Complete newbie needing guidance/purchase advice I've had a great experience buying and selling on Agon. I think it boils down to individual people liking or disliking the experience. But you won't know if you don't give it a shot. :-)Mot | |
| Complete newbie needing guidance/purchase advice Lots more great advice. I wouldn't worry too much about making bad decisions. I think it's part of the learning experience. If I hadn't gone through the process, I would definitely have a very different system than I do now. Besides, Agon gives yo... | |
| which speakers for low watt power amp? 75 Watts is plenty for most speakers, but if you really want sensitive speakers, check out Zu Audio. The Omen Def would fit your bill quite easily. Brilliant company, and speakers. Klipsch also makes high sensitivity speakers, with horns. :-)Mot | |
| Speaker recommendations for small space Wow...tough space. I've listened to many speakers, trying to find some that work well against the wall without too much bass bloom. Only thing I've found that work well are Anthony Gallo A'Divas. See if you can find some to listen to. John Blue mi... | |
| Smooth/Musical Bookshelves upto $1500 - $2000 While in your quest...see if you can listen to a pair of Gallo A'Divas (non-Ti). They roll off at 18khz, and are lovely on the desktop...very involving. I also run a tube buffer to warm them up a bit. They definitely need a subwoofer though.Anothe... | |
| Complete newbie needing guidance/purchase advice Pretty overwhelming amount, and variety, of information isnt it? There is some really good info here. Ive been going through this process for the last 2 years and have learned a lot from this forum, and my own trial-and-error process. Here is wh... | |
| Budget Speakers for a small living room Actually, at 50 watts x 3 channels, they are more than loud enough. I have never had them above half volume. I run them in a room that is 13 x 20 and they are plenty loud. You really don't need as many watts as some think are required. I was also ... | |
| Budget Speakers for a small living room The A5s would be a good bet. Another option would be the Cambridge SoundWorks Model 12. I use mine on the TV, and it is very satisfying, as it comes with a sub and 3 channel amp. Plus it all packs into the sub for travel. Great little speaker setu... |
