| What receiver would be best for my epos els3 I'll second jaybo's recommendation for Yamaha and Harman Kardon as I think they will meet your price/features requirements. I like the RX-797 from Yamaha based on auditions and I have owned a Harman Kardon HK3375 for six years and it has given me ... | |
| Help me put a system together for under $1k. I think you're on the right track with your original ideas. The 540A integrated would probably be ok too especially as your son will likely be using his system in small rooms for years to come. I'm wondering if he might want a tuner. A lot of youn... | |
| Speaker Recommendation Needed You're in Kentucky so Tyler Acoustics would be worth a real look. Some Freedom series would be in your friends budget and maybe some Reference minis or monitors with a bit of stretching. The point being that a good quality receiver could drive the... | |
| Compare: Salk Sound, Silverline, Tyler, Zu I have heard Silverline (in an HT system playing music), Tyler Reference Monitors and Linbrook monitors, and the Salk HT1 and HT3. I'd take the Salk speakers overall, they simply drew me in. The other speakers are all great. I really mean that. Yo... | |
| Help ? with upgrade to budget system Wow! Dynaudio, Bel Canto, and Arcam. Well done Jeff. Don't you love it when a plan comes together? Enjoy your new system and don't sweat the cables. After all---ahhhh....the music!Gary | |
| Question about NAD 320BEE The Denon DRA-395 and DRA-685 receivers have built in multi-zone features. The 685 includes a second remote for use in the other room. Both receivers have A and B speaker terminals while the remote in combination with a room sensor can operate the... | |
| Speaker Sugestions Wanted $1500 max I think a pair of Boston Acoustics VR-3 speakers would be worth checking out. They sound (and look) pretty good and are smoother on the high end than your Klipsh. They are an easy speaker to drive with an 8 ohm impedence and 93db sensitivity and w... | |
| I'm looking for inexpensive bookshelf speakers. Some models in your price range which are worth a listen would be the PSB Image B25 ($450), the Boston Acoustics VRB ($500), the Audio Note AX2 $550?), and the NHT SB3 ($600). You might also consider the Boston Acoustics VR1 floorstander ($600) wh... | |
| Vintage speaker upgrade suggestions? I disagree (respectfully) with Fatparrot, in part, and I agree, again in part. I would say that the A70's and the Marantz qualify as vintage equipment and possibly the Missions as well. I think the SR2000 would drive the A70's quite effectively as... | |
| Reviews on Denon dcd 1650.... Do a search for denon on the Audiogon home page then click on denon in the product reviews at the bottom of the page. You will find a review listed for the DCD1650ar from Hi Fi Choice. | |
| What multi disc CD ?? You could also consider NAD 523 and Rotel RCC 955 used or the Denon DCM 380 which is a current model. | |
| RE Cerwin Vega H15 or D9 You might try posting at audiokarma.org as they have a lot of very helpful members who are familiar with vintage Cerwin Vegas and diy. Good luck. | |
| Big Stupid Warm Speakers Since you liked the earlier model I think you would do well to check out the current Polk Audio Lsi series. I think they would suit your desire for added warmth without sacrificing sound quality. I have heard the bookshelf models (Lsi 7 & 9) a... | |
| I need a good quality CD player - with changer You might consider the NAD 523 changer on Audiogon right now. Adcom also made a very good changer which you might find used. I have a Denon DCM 380 which I like but I don't know if it has a 96 KHz output. Might be worth a look though. The recommen... | |
| Green Mtn Europa vs. Von Schweikert VR1 "They are definitely a lively speaker and I like that."You like the way they sound and you like the way they look. It seems to me that you found what you were looking for so why second guess yourself based on the opinions of others? Sure the Europ... |
