| Luxman L505uXii or Hegel H390 Luxman. | |
| Bookshelf Speaker For Outdoors I would not use indoor speakers outdoors like that. The best, but not the cheapest wall-mount outdoor speakers I have ever used were the NEAR LB8’s and LB6’s. Just increase your budget and check them out. Another option are the landscape and ... | |
| This 60 Hz hum is driving me crazy Another grounding issue I had was from the cable TV box. There was a splitter on the outside of the house, which needs to be grounded and it was, to the steel conduit/ main breaker panel just above it. But, that grounding clamp and steel pipe had ... | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer Well, I guess I'm not an "real audiophile," because of some random doorknobs opinion on Youtube. 😀 | |
| This 60 Hz hum is driving me crazy I had a hum years ago that I couldn't get rid of, until I removed the outlet from the wall. It turned out that the ground wire, which is bare, was just barley touching the hot lead screw terminal in the box. I just rearranged the Romex in the bo... | |

It is not only proper integration with your main speakers, but more importantly, with your room. Getting bass "right" can be chall... | |

| inexpensive phono pre amp I had the Parasound for several months before I upgraded my integrated amp. It did nothing wrong and it seems like a fantastic value. | |
| Triangle Competitors? For American made, there are quite a few offerings that might fit what you're looking for: Magnepan, Spatial Audio, Induction Dynamics, Vandersteen, McIntosh (?), Magico, Klipsch Heritage and JBL have been mentioned, already. | |
| Cost-effective integrated For new, the Parasound NewClassic 200 is pretty nice and ticks most boxes that anyone could have. For used, there's a Classe CAP-101 here on Agon for sale. Those are pretty nice, as well, with minimal features. NAD and Cambridge Audio also have... |
