Read the reviews to see if you're interested in auditioning it. I found that, unlike tubes, I didn't have to "baby" it; rather you can... | |
| What is the one CD you can't find? Two come to mind:1) Woody Herman: Children of Lima (originally lp) The arrangement of 25 or 6 to 4 is brilliant.2) Pat Williams: Threshold (originally lp) great jazz big band | |
| Which Intergrated amp for starter?? Alot of good ideas from the above responses. I'll talk my book - I own the Sim Audio i-1 integrated amp. $1500/ 50 watts/ch into 8 ohms. Very happy with sound. Prefer it to NAD, Creek. good luck | |
| Avalon Eidolon and Krell, good match or not? Hi Nickt, I heard Krell amps with Eidolons at Sound by Singer (whn they were a Avalon dealer) and the sound was great! While the Krell amps did there part, credit goes to Sound by Singer for the total setup. I still think back to that demonstratio... | |
| Need advise regarding small bookshelf monitor I had owned the ELS-3 speaker and upgraded to the Epos M5. The speakers are on a bookshelf. One of my concerns about any speaker being placed on a bookshelf is the degree to which the bass gets muddy/boomy. I had not noticed any significant bass p... | |

If so how long is... | |
| Totem Rainmaker OR Epos M5??? I think the Epos M5 is superior to the Rainmaker. The Rainmaker's frequency response is tilted up in the highs and in the lower frequencies. If you want to hear the "sparkle" as you say, then buy the Rainmakers. However the M5 will have less liste... | |

| Where to audition Totem, Epos NYC I auditioned the Totem dreamcatcher against the Epos els3 at In Living Stereo and bought the Epos. IMO the Totem was very appealing on most pop and jazz recordings. When I put on a classical orchestral cd, it became apparent that the Epos was the ... | |
| Best budget bookshelf speakers for 3-600 dollars. I recommend the Epos els 3 speakers (list for $329). Very good sound(read the reviews), attractive, and work well on a bookshelf. Good luck. | |
| Help Speakers trapped on bookshelves Roger,I'm in the same boat as you. I have been relegated to a small room off the kitchen (8' by 10'). I have my rig on a workbench brand desk where the equipment and speakers are on the top shelf, right above my pc monitor. So that right, I'm list... | |
| I am thinking of buying the Avalon Osiris. I suggest that you consider the current Avalon top-of-the-line, the Sentinel. If Neil Patel decided to replace the Osiris with the Sentinel it's all for good reasons. I trust his ears and believe in the forward progression in technology that creat... | |
| Can Wilson Audio Sophia live in a 150 sqf room Best bet is to contact the company. Also you may want to speak to your local dealer (second). Ideally you would want to get a home demo before purchasing them. | |
