| Dynamic speakers Checkout models from Zu Audio and Tekton. Affordable and high in sensitivity and impedance. | |
| Marantz PM 17SA v PM 8003 Thanks for letting us know which one you went with Geph. Now that you have experience with both and have noted the differences in their sound quality, which one do you like better. Are you happy with the PM 17's sound and keeping it? | |
| Bookshelf Speakers with the decent bass I think that a lot of people (myself included) are tired of your habit of using a discourse on any subject as an excuse for being abusive. You alternate between bad puns and nasty jabs.Maplegrove is right. It's just getting old.Amen to that Roxy54... | |
| Marantz PM 17SA v PM 8003 So then you are talking about the performance of the amp by looking at the spec sheet. And now that you've clarified it, you're referring to power output only and not sound quality. That wasn't clear in your other posts.Thanks for finally seeing i... | |
| Marantz PM 17SA v PM 8003 Your point is clear. It just doesn't make sense. If they're almost identical, then why would they sound different? Also, if they're almost identical, then why would the build quality be different?Just because their power OUTPUT is almost identical... | |
| Marantz PM 17SA v PM 8003 Nothing could be further from the truth. Yes, its possible that the 2 amps may be very similar, but there's absolutely no reason why they can't sound completely different.I believe that was exactly my point. I thought I was pretty clear meaning th... | |
| Favorite phono stage in the $500-$800 range? I love these kinds of questions. You now have 10 recommendations so I will add an 11th - The Simaudio Moon 110LP. So which of the 11 are you going to choose from? Let this run a few more days and you'll get 11 more. Or you can go to your local HiF... | |
| Marantz PM 17SA v PM 8003 I have no doubt it is a higher standard . I am just worried about it not doing justice to rock and blues.Don't quite understand your concern. Since you worked in the audio biz, then you know that there is no difference between the 60 & 70 wpc.... | |
| Marantz PM 17SA v PM 8003 Tough one. At 60 vs 70 wpc into 8 ohms, the power output is negligible. So besides the obvious aesthetics, the PM 17SA is older and was built at Marantz' reference factory in Japan. The PM 8003 is newer and built in China.Having a PM15s2 built at ... | |
| How to divide a budget between components Used. Paraneer. But... why settle for less by compromising by not being able to afford new kit?Thanks Noromance. This is what I suspected; you bought used. It is also proves my point why assigning percentages to allocate funds per component doesn'... | |
| How to divide a budget between components Is that all they cost? I thought they were a lot more. Oh well, if you want to dedicate 65% toward the source and only 15% for the speakers, that's your right man. I would just caution others on the same. Have a great day | |
| How to divide a budget between components Paraneer, Linn philosophy or not, if you are going to use a vinyl source, it is wisest to spend as much retrieving as much information from the source as possible. Otherwise, you run the risk of spending lots of money trying to tune the rig with s... | |

| How to divide a budget between components In my opinion the best sounding systems are those where every component works well with all others and no real weak link can be identified. This is also known as synergy.And its also been my experience that to assign percentages from a total budge... | |
| Naim Nait 5Si and Focal 807W Speakers Sure they are.The Focals are very efficient being an 8 Ohm speaker with a sensitivity of 92 db. Just about any amp will drive them.The better question may be if the Focals are a good sonic match for your ears?If you heard them and like them, then ... |
