| Speaker upgrade No problem.. I suggest give all three a serious audition and pick the one that sounds best to you. Your Macs will drive any of three with no problem but you already know that. That's too much money to spend on speakers to rely on opinions from str... | |
| Wharfedale Opus Repair / Replacement issue The Opus 2 were Wharfedale's TOTL speaker and was replaced by the Jade series just a few years ago. Most speakers carry 5 year warranties and I believe Wharfedale should be no exception.If you purchased them only a few years ago, they may still be... | |
| Parasound Halo A23 paired with Peachtree Nova 125 Well Arafiq, now I know you haven't heard the A23 yet, I agree with Runnin. Connect that A23 first and you may find the Peachtree as a preamp is all you need. Let us know how everything sounds as you move forward. Good luck! | |
| Parasound Halo A23 paired with Peachtree Nova 125 Hey Arafiq, looks like you picked up that used A23 you mentioned in your other post. How is driving the CM10's? Are you getting the bass extension you felt was lacking with the amp section built into the Peachtree? Is it a keeper?If so, then its j... | |
| Soliciting Upgrade Advice I’ve been reading numerous threads on this forum in an attempt to isolate what would generally be regarded as the “best” pair of speakers in the 5K range. I understand that “best” in this context can be both subjective and objective.As you know th... | |
| What vintage speaker might you use today I agree that you should define vintage.But having had HiFi systems since the mid 70's and hearing a lot of loudspeakers, I would say any of the "L" series of speakers by ADS. These would be the "L"'s with the butyl rubber surrounds and bronze mesh... | |
| Recs for solid state integrated, $2-3,000 range How about a Marantz Reference integrated?A used PM15S2b would be nice (I have one) but I think the newer version goes for more than your budget, but, with Black Friday looming on the horizon, who knows?All the best,NonoiseI second the above Marant... | |
| Looking for integrated better than my Rogue Sphinx FWIW, I just checked the Luxman website and looked at the pics of the 505ux that is a current model. The picture of the back panel clearly shows "Made in Japan".Seems to me if they were being built in China, Luxman would take down this picture to... | |

| Suggestions for integrated amps for B&W CM10 Thanks for the update.Your post illustrates why most components should be auditioned if at all possible. It all comes down to what sounds best to you! After you audition the Parasound, wouldn't it be a hoot to find out you still prefer the Peachtr... | |
| How often do you upgrade your turntable? If the TT is not meeting your expectation then I guess you upgrade it. If it is, is far more common to just upgrade the cartridge.I have two tables - one is 5 years old and another 38 years old. Both have seen their fair share of cartridge upgrade... | |
| Suggestions for integrated amps for B&W CM10 Well I certainly agree that you can never have too much power. The A21 will provide it in spades. But by the time you add the cost of a new P5 and a used A21, I'll bet your back to what a new Halo Integrated costs. I would think the A23 is more th... | |
| Suggestions for integrated amps for B&W CM10 By the way, there's an ad on craigslist for parasound:dallas.craigslistWhat do you guys think of this combo? Do you think the asking price is fair?Price is fair if the units are in good condition, both operationally and cosmetically. But the P7 is... | |
| Suggestions for integrated amps for B&W CM10 I can appreciate wanting to buy a big ticket item at no interest. These plans can be attractive when used wisely.But if the dealer doesn't handle the product you really want, then what good is the free financing? If you settle for something less, ... | |
