| how much power Speakers with a minimalist xover do not require very much power to sound good. Many of these exotic multi way speakers have very complex xovers that require mucho dinero amplifiers with enough current to power a small village due to the xovers gob... | |
| Which TOWERs work well CLOSE to the BACK WALL? Audio note is designed to work well close to walls and Art Dudley (I believe it's Art Dudley) from Stereophile is absolutely smitten with the AN E | |
| Budget Chinese Tube amps - any good? I have an el34 based amp on order from Jim as well but mine is only 4 el34' with 6sn7' I purchased mine based soley on reviews I've read. Jim's amps also come with a lifetime warranty and are very reasonably priced. The only down side is the 2-3 m... | |
| Just Turned 50... I'll be turning 50 as well in March. My eyes aren't what they used to be but I think my hearing is still pretty good. The only way to enjoy these golden days is by embracing it. Happy Birthday | |
| Smooth/Musical Bookshelves upto $1500 - $2000 Shelby+Kroll Nano monitors - new. Great sounding, great looking and easy to drive | |
| How Many Audiophiles Have Do You Know? It sounds like most people responding have met fellow audiophiles through eqpt purchases / sales etc.... but as one poster stated I've never met one audiophile through an impromptu social situation, but then again I do think I need to get out a li... | |

| Recommended Bookshelf Speakers $1200 if you can stretch your budget a hundred or you should strongly consider the Shelby Kroll nano monitors. These aren't very well known but I assure you they will trounce anything in their price range. Tim may still have some B stock left over. Defi... | |
| Cat damaged speaker, Help None if this can possibly be true, all audiophiles live in a smoke free, pet free and child free environment. | |
| Speakers with wide listening window I would seriously consider the Shelby+Kroll Nano monitors. I've had these now for almost a week and the soundstage is phenominal, it just follows you around the room. I was even listening behind the speakers and didn't notice a significant differe... | |
| great bookshelf speakers vs 12-18 k floor speakers I hope to have my Nano monitors by the end of the month. They'll be replacing a good two way floor stander as well. Looking forward to hearing them | |

| Why Don't More People Love Audio? the Golden Rule states that he who has the gold makes the rules | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? You really don't have to mortgage your life away to get a half way decent system on the used market. Most people are just flat out indifferent to high end audio and are more than content listening to their ipod. I do happen to think there is a sma... |
