| First Trip outside of Best Buy, a real newbie. Ironically, some speakers require more efficient amps that deliver more current to sound right at lower volumes. If the amp can do that and can deliver enough current (not same as watts), and the speakers can also handle high volumes without break... | |
| Anyone here using vintage speakers? Bondmanp,What brand of vintage speaks from Tech HiFi? You didn't say.The best I remember at Tech HiFi to be had for that price on sale might be Ohm E's? I sold dozens of them back in the day.Or could be EPIs or smaller Infinitys or Advents maybe? | |
| First Trip outside of Best Buy, a real newbie. "Best speakers for my small space with this system?"I'm eyeballing the Peachtree for use with my Triangle Titus 202s when the need arises as I described above."best" is always a subjective determination since no two speaks sound the same, but the ... | |
| Bruce at The Super Bowl.... Dylan is also a superior Kvetcher.Being a superior Kvetcher is not necessarily a good thing. | |
| Bruce at The Super Bowl.... "As far as Columbus he was a pirate"Technically, that is a true statement."As for Bruce,could anyone possibly be more boring?"Based on his record sales and long-time popularity, the answer is also yes.I am ambivalent regarding Springsteen myself. ... | |
| What to improve? all suggestions are welcomed Without having heard your system, which seems very good, I'd say first check for correct polarity to speakers (+ to + and - to - for each). If not connected properly, bass is affected.Also confirm that your speaks are well positioned for good bass... | |
| Bruce at The Super Bowl.... He was good and a good original All-American/Joisey fit for the event. | |

If that bothers you, start with just one or two strategically placed tubes to keep troubleshooting easy if needed and go from there as desired.Be c... | |
| MOODY BLUES CD'S The best sounding Moody Blues CD recording I've heard is 1999's largely overlooked "Strange Times".The production and sound quality overall is superb, the best since "Days of Future Passed", which was conceived and implemented as an audio showpiec... | |
| The best "imaging" speakers? Triangles are the best imaging speaks I've heard in a conventional box design. I've heard them totally disappear in systems where no other speakers did.Magicos were impressive also in this regard when I heard them but they are PRICEY.Omnis like OH... | |
| Recommendations for my less than ideal setup Jaybo beat me to it.I second the OHM Micro Walsh Tall. From your description, look no further until you try these. The omni design will will work to your benefit in particular for this application as described. | |
| First Trip outside of Best Buy, a real newbie. Don't go by % spent on parts.Synergy overall (sources to room acoustics) is key. You don't have to spend a lot to get great results in most rooms.Triangle Titus 202s are small monitor speakers that can match and in some ways even outperform much b... | |
| First Trip outside of Best Buy, a real newbie. I am a big Magneplanar fan and owned a pair for years. They are hard to beat for the $$$ in regards to good sound and being "easy on the ear", meaning little or no fatigue factor. They tend to sound better the longer you listen. make sure this is ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Me too.Its all worth it if the result is the ability to thoroughly enjoy your investment in music though! | |
