| PX-25 tube amp with Merlin VSM speakers? I had great success running VSMs (SE) with the Cary 300b mono amps in a small to medium sized room. Those amps were almost 15 wpc, so I can't predict the results you'd get with your proposed combination, but that system was a wonderful marriage of... | |

| What is the best HEAVY METAL speaker? If your room (and bank account) is big enough, the big MBL (101 or larger) speakers should work well. The company typically demos their speakers with crazy high SPL hard rock at shows. Generally speaking, the music isn't my cup of tea, but the spe... | |
| Anyone of you ever heard of Dissanayake? As gear porn goes, that gallery rates high. Thanks for the link. | |
| The best deal on audiogon right now PMC makes great speakers, but at the stated price, I'd think hard about.....Sound Lab. I find that Sound Lab offers on this site are always tempting because (I presume) there are so few buyers who can accommodate the huge panels that discounts get... | |
| Best Bat out of Hell recording It's a mess. My understanding is that "BOOH" was a really low budget recording session that Todd Rundgren (a top three all-time rock/pop musician, in my book) financed out of his own pocket after every record label in town passed on it. I'm not ce... | |
| sub setup question LJ,I just checked out the NAD website and learned that there are indeed bass management functions available "through" the d7050. I also learned that the reason I didn't think that was the case is because those features aren't found on the amp, its... | |
| Transparent Stereo From Surround Preamp/Processor For me, it's hard to answer this question without two key pieces of information:1) Is your two channel system 2.0 or 2.2. If it's 2.2 (subs active for music) then you have to consider how to best cross-over to the subs. Which raises the question:2... | |
| sub setup question I don't think he has a choice. Unless I'm mistaken, the NAD only outputs a full range line level audio signal. The HSU x-over function will be necessary to route the frequencies appropriately. He may have a choice whether or not to run the Wharfed... | |
| Recommendations on Christmas Music?? I celebrate Channukah, but I find Vince Guaraldi's Christmas music (A Charlie Brown Christmas, etc.) great fun, FWIW. | |
| Best Musical Sub What frequency/slope are you crossing at? Per Rhljazz, if you want that kick drum fundamental handled by the sub you'll need to cross high enough to route the signal accordingly. Depending on the slope you're using, that may well be north of 100hz... | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? Fleetwood Mac last night at the LA Forum. Second show I've seen on the current tour and substantially identical to opening night in Minneapolis. Which is to say, absolutely wonderful. | |
| Single driver speakers without the pitfalls? I don't think that the driver you seek actually exists. The closest thing I've heard was a lowish output SET powered speaker using the Jordan 4" driver in a home-built enclosure. It was augmented by a powered subwoofer crossed over somewhere south... | |
| "Famous Blue Raincoat".. Leonard Cohen's music is definitely not for every taste and you could certainly argue that Warnes voice is too pretty to do it justice. Personally, I think it's a terrific (and overall great sounding) record, but I'd also be the first to sympathiz... | |
| Do I need a subwoofer? Which brand and model? Several good brands are available on-line and offer a free in-home trial period. I'd agree with Lloyd that your space is large and that a subwoofer (or two) would likely improve the tonal balance of your system, but a free trial allows you to sati... |
