| Looking for an HDMI cable @soix Good question! I should have added that info. I would purchase used if the right one came along. Many of my cables have been purchased that way. Thanks. | |
| Subwoofer Out VS Subwoofer Crossover Given the new information I agree with @gdaddy1. I would set the system up without the subwoofer running the speakers full range. If you use the system for video also you could try the subwoofer via the RCA input when doing so. Value of this appr... | |
| Subwoofer Out VS Subwoofer Crossover You can use your sub with the 701 the same as with your other integrated or you can use the RCA sub connection to the sub setting the crossover point on the sub to best compliment your speakers and run speaker wires to your main speakers. With the... | |
| Fritz Carerra Be + Audio Research Ref 3 = WHAT TUBE POWER AMP I 2nd @hilde45's thought. Give Aric a call. Check out his website. He is great to deal with. All his products are point to point wired and can be modified to suit. | |
| Going Tubing Given the impedance of your speakers as indicated by @soix I would stick with your SS power amp and purchase a tube preamp. | |
| The receiver was my intro to HiFi! What say you? My 1st component system consisted of a Sansui AU-555. Added the matching Tuner a couple months later. | |
| Need help choosing my first amp for my first speakers +1 @zlone I would make an offer on this NAD amplifier enough below the asking price to cover shipping. | |

| Digital newbie I am with those who have suggested you start with your computer. I stream Qobuz via my Mac Pro and when I find an album I find worthwhile to own I purchase the CD. I will someday purchase a dedicated streamer, however for now streaming serves for ... | |
| full range or mini's and a sub I agree with most of what has been aforementioned. It would be nice to see responses to the questions asked. I have truly enjoyed stand mount speakers with or without subs (yes, 2 better than 1) in smaller rooms. | |
| Fritz Carrera 7 Be and 300B power amp? I also suggest you talk to John, owner of Fritz. What is your room size? I own Fritz Carbon 7s and use them in a 15x12x8' room driven by a PP tube amp with 20wpc. That is more power than is needed for my room. With this amp the Carbons could f... | |
| I am about to embark on my next upgrade journey Since you are asking about speakers, I also recommend Fritz Carbon 7SE MK2s. They fit your desired specifications. A very easy to drive and like speaker. I own a pair and use them in at room much like yours. John, the owner of Fritz, offers 30 da... | |
| Emotiva XPA-2 Gen 3 or NAD C 275BEE or Rotel RB-1582 MkII for Revel F208 I would vote for the NAD as I believe it would be the best sonic fit and the greatest return on investment at $900. | |
| Which Vintage CD Player To Use As A Transport? @paul6001 Do you own the DAC and are now looking for a transport or do you need to purchase both Items? If you own the DAC I see no problem finding a CD player having digital output to use with it. Issue is that the first thing that fails with ... | |
| How important is the efficiency of a speaker to you? My thinking is that efficiency is a product of both reactance (impedance and phase angle) and sensitivity. The reactance relates most toward 'easy to drive' while sensitivity relates more toward size of room to be pressurized. Since the Fritz sp... |
