| What speakers for 10k? For me 25K would probably mean mbl all the way, hey!Maybe if I hit the lottery but not likely. As much as I love the good sounds of music, I don't know if I could justify 25K worth of speaker. Maybe in teh great room of some mansion that I will ne... | |

| vintage versus modern speakers They made good stuff and bad stuff then . They make even better stuff and bad stuff now. Except now the good stuff from then is old now and if still sounds good has probably benefited from being refurbished or rebuilt using modern technology.Anyth... | |
| Anything as " fast" as SPECTRAL gear? Unsound you are right I was thinking spectron not spectral. | |
| Size matters- recommend small system or component Bel canto top notch products in a small package. WYred is nice too. Or how about peach tree or benchmark with active speakers.

| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Bass will ALWAYS be the achilles heel of a low power amp (and/or smaller speakers, especially more efficient ones in genral). Powered subs let you address the issue once and for all without having to change the rest. Its the most practical solutio... | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Those Coincidents are small and likely not extended in the bass, which is a good thing for a SET with small speakers. It still might be enough for a small room, depending on expectations. If expectations are to have it all, you could very well end... | |
