vintage speakers
IMO,I agree with Johnk.Most of any of those lines are better than what you are considering..Mac speakers blow and thats a bad thing!Just my opinion 
Speaker recommendation please, please, please
IMO, I would possibly go in another direction.As a present owner of Raidho,having heard most of your short list speakers,and at one point in life listening to similar music I would maybe upgrade the amp and see what ya think.Given the other gear y... 
B&W 802d - Power, Help/ Opinion please
IMO your on the right track,first time ive actually heard suggestions of amps that would help in what your speakers lack.Detail and speed come to mind.I would never match Mac,Classe or similiar amps as again IMO it just makes a bad thing worse.Alt... 
Tannoy vs Klipsch
IMO, having owned many versions of both makers but not the models your inquiring about I would buy Tannoy any day over Klipsch.....but if you want to step out of the box lots of speakers that better both and will work amazing with your amps which ... 
What are your general thoughts of B&W speakers
Hows this..not my cup of tea,lol 
What are your general thoughts of B&W speakers
...outside the fact B&W now out sources everythink outside the 800 series to China and Abbey road studios means very little to me as far as what a great speaker sounds like,im as serious as a heart attack.The original poster asked "for general... 
What are your general thoughts of B&W speakers
Mapman.I agree with what your saying.IMO its an old brand with an established name.Doesnt mean anything really to me.My closest B&W dealer reps lots of speakers including Magico.In converstaion I asked him about B&W,his comments were custo... 
What are your general thoughts of B&W speakers
Chadeffect..the defense of B&W that" only the best studios use them "is an argument as old and tired as the brand.Doesnt hold water anymore especially considering Abbeys heyday was 3 decades ago and most of the studios today employ them are do... 
looking to buy mcintosh audio
I think what your asking is for the paid classifieds. 
What are your general thoughts of B&W speakers
Chadeffect ,I totally disagree with what your saying.."What are your general thoughts of B&W speakers" is what was asked.We dont need to know room size,amps,preamps,cables,treatments etc to give thoughts of the brand.Personally I wouldnt take ... 
Mcintosh MC501 or MC 352 for Sonus Faber Cremona
IMO,I wouldnt buy either.The cremona is not a fast speaker,its lacking in detail and not coherant.Pairing an amp with similar sonics would be way too much of a bad thing.If I owned those speakers I would look for an amp that was faster for sure wi... 
Best speaker at Walmart
 
New but old fashioned looking speakers…
IMO, having owned most of what is being suggested I would stay in the Tannoy line.Head and shoulders above all of them(Harbeth/K horns/Bozak grands/JBL/Altec etc etc.Having said that,I think maybe you should not limit yourself to just that sound t... 
Focal Micro Utopia + REL or 1028be II ?
IMO if only the two,1028B.Adding the rel if needed.I was never a fan of the micro,too sterile for me. 
Sony playstation 1
Tomwh..I never said I have great gear..I never would spend 5 grand on a player and I pay very little attention to mags....So I guess,just my opinion
