| First foray into separate 2-channel amp, 200wpc Soix, thanks for the tips. Yeah, I just saw some of those Brystons on Agon. With the 3BST not being rated particularly high in watts, I wasn't sure about how much improvement it might make. Sounds like you are saying even those Bryston amps that a... | |
| First foray into separate 2-channel amp, 200wpc "Rok2idget the Emotiva used. The big one. The pre amp section of your receiver will just be a switch box and volume control, unless you listen to LPs."Rok, are you talking about the mono monster, or the XPA-2? I can't afford two of the mono amps. ... | |
| First foray into separate 2-channel amp, 200wpc Thanks! OK, Adcom, Acurus, B&K...how would anyone characterize the "house sound" differences between these? Also, is there much difference between the Acurus A150 and A250? They actually seem to be about the same size and weight. | |
| Help me w/ small towers-bedroom HT/music system Thanks for the replies. After much reading here, as well as listening to some speakers at retail shops, I pulled the trigger on a set of almost new Monitor Audio 9i listed here on Agon. This was after reading 3 or 4 professional reviews, as well a... | |
| Help me w/ small towers-bedroom HT/music system I got to listen to Vienna Acoustics Beethoven Baby Grand today as well as a Sonus Faber Liuto. The Viennas sounded great on instruments, but required a very exact sweet spot in order for a female vocalist to appear in the middle. Just moving my he... | |
| Pairing Speakers with Integra 40.3 for HT and Rock I finally gave up on center channel speakers. I tried four or five moderately priced ones, and the dialog was unclear with all of them. I of course tried raising the center channel level, but this only served to increase the resonances in the voca... | |
| Help me w/ small towers-bedroom HT/music system Thanks, I didn't know much about the Silverlines. The Revel F12 that was on Agon is sold already, anyway. Now, I've also found out about Vienna Acoustics, and there are several pairs of used ones available. But, I will check out the Silverlines. | |
| Buying used or sight unseen speakers a bad idea? How does one escalate an issue? I have one right now on a purchase. | |
| Buying used or sight unseen speakers a bad idea? Yep, there is a set of large speakers for sale on Agon right now that I emailed the seller about. This seller has a zero feedback score. It's been two days and no reply to my email. I'm really interested in that model speaker, but this doesn't loo... | |
| Buying used or sight unseen speakers a bad idea? Seems like a lot of classifieds have appeared recently here on Agon with feedback scores of 0. Perhaps it's just due to the un-economy, and people are needing to raise some money. | |
| Buying used or sight unseen speakers a bad idea? Just be aware that if speakers are not packed properly, they can be damaged in shipping. I bought a speaker that was not packed tight enough, got shook around by FedEx, and ended up getting some damage on it. | |
| Help me w/ small towers-bedroom HT/music system I've now identified a couple options on agon for under $1000 which may actually outperform some of the speakers discussed so far:Revel F12ERA D14Has anyone had experience with these, and any thoughts on these for my bedroom setup? | |
| "Best" speakers new/used under $3,000? "Hyperion HPS-938".I read the reviews, which are stellar, but after calling the company in CA and speaking with a nice fellow who spoke limited English, I am not bowled over with their operation. He indicated they have no HPS-938 in stock and they... | |
| Help me w/ small towers-bedroom HT/music system Thanks for the replies and suggestions.Can anybody with experience with the brands I listed provide any comparisons and pluses and minuses? | |
| Help me w/ small towers-bedroom HT/music system My computer stopped typing in my initial post, so I was not able to complete my question. Perhaps there is a space limit.Anyway, after a lot of reading here and AVS forum, here are some options I was able to identify in the $750 to $1500 range for... |
