| High end speakers without bi-wiring? I don't think it's accurate to say that bi-wiring is out of vogue. I have my speakers passively bi-amped, and tri-wired with Audioengine Gibralter cables (one regular set to bass, and one bi-wire set to mid and tweeter). Everyone said it would mak... | |
| looking for advice on budget subwoofer I have a budget system I use in the winter, and I was able to get a Mirage subwoofer on sale for under $300, that is very musical. Vanns has the following subs marked down that are in your range:Yamaha Soavo: $400 (retail was $1,400) - This would ... | |
| Suggestions? Planar like Dynamic speaker under 2K The Zu Audio Omen might fill the bill for you. No crossover, so they are incredibly fast, revealing and involving...with fantastic timing and coherence. Full-range speakers that need barely any power to shine, love tubes, and if you can find some ... | |
| Naim Nait 5i-2 for Totem Sttaf You will be pleased. I listened to the Naim with Totem Dreamcatchers, and it was fantastic. Enjoy.Mot | |
| Speaker cables for office/travel system. ...continued:I could also braid some cables if that works best. I can terminate them myself if needed, as the amp uses pin connectors...otherwise banana plugs work fine with pin converters. Trying to keep the cost around $300.Any thoughts on cable... | |
| Biwire jumpers as speaker cables? Zu Audio has some 16" Jumpers on ebay, from their top-of-the-line directional IBIS cables, that they will terminate however you wish. That would give you plenty of room to move them away from vibrations. ebay item: 110734045131Mot | |
| Small monitors/bookshelves for classical music I will second the Mirage OMD-5s. I use these in several different systems, and they are truly wonderful speakers. They sound especially good when running with hybrid amps. Tube pre/solid amp. In addition, if you give them a bit of room they are re... | |
| Magnepan 1.7 too bright, HELP Yeah, I think it all depends on the system synergy. I've become a total advocate for tube-pre, and ss amp. For instance, my office system is a Cambridge Soundworks Model 12 for amp and sub, with Gallo A'Divas for the speakers. It was very involvin... | |

| Magnepan 1.7 too bright, HELP Great advice here. I offer a small addition. I had a similar issue with my Mirage OMD-28s, and solved it by spending less than $200 on a Grant Fidelity Tube Buffer. I run it between my DAC and Preamp. It gives you some of that tube warmth and dyna... | |
| Building bedroom system.....speakers for it? I think a consideration has to be how close to the wall you are looking at. In my office, I use Gallo A'Divas because they are perfect for right up next to a wall. In my bedroom, I use Mirage OMD-5s (as I have some space off the wall), with a Mira... | |
| Which speaker has the biggest sound stage? As far as the biggest soundstage...I would say that omni-directional speakers are the champs of this realm. The MBLs are truly amazing, and my Mirage OMD-28s create a soundstage that is massive. They won't be laser focused like the Gallos, but sou... | |
| Best place to put a single subwoofer? A friend of mine read in the book 'Get Better Sound', that the best location is just in front of the speakers, in-between them, for a single sub. I moved mine there from the wall, and will never move it back. Blends so much better!I'm not an exper... |
