| Integrated Recommendation I was also thinking about the Rogue Sphinx. Would seem to be a very good fit at the price point. I have not heard that unit specifically yet but am a fan of the tube/Class D hybrid approach and Rogue's amps that I have heard in general. Rogue tend... | |
| Calling all Horn lovers Latest AK speakers seemed to get very good buzz as I read it at recent RMAF, including at least one or two mentions I read as among the best in show. Didn't surprise me at all. | |

| How much to pay for a Record ? Would he dare to actually play it and risk depreciating the value?Smart collectors know what to buy, when to buy and when if ever to sell. I'm not that smart when it comes to these things, so I have no clue what the darn thing might be worth somed... | |
| Have you gotten great sound in a small er room? I do pretty much what Schubert said. THe trick in a small room is finding the room to do it.

| Tubes vs Solid State - Imaging, Soundstaging, 3D Dynamic range compression devices like the old DBXs used to be popular to produce similar effects in particular at lower volumes with higher noise floor off of typical SS.i would think a SS amp could go for a higher noise floor and similar dynamic... | |
| Tubes vs Solid State - Imaging, Soundstaging, 3D I suspect our ears "dynamic level response" characteristics are not linear and are not able to detect subtle loudness differences at very low volumes as well as at louder volumes in general, so higher volume levels on average in general associated... | |

| Have you gotten great sound in a small er room? I have very good success in my 12X12 room using corner approach as described above + assymetrical and fairly wide placement of speakers relative to the corner. Works very well with both my smaller OHM omnis and Dynaudio Contour monitors. | |
