| Integrateds: $3K, $4.5K or $5K Looks like the start of a great system.I auditioned the MF M6i and was extremely impressed with it. I can't see how you would go wrong with it driving either of the speakers you are considering. Its a real powerhouse, attractive and well built too... | |
| Advise on this speaker list The minimum distance of a rear ported speaker to the back wall is a good question Dazler and one that may get a lot of different answers. The most common answer that I have seen to this question on various forums seems to 12" and I tend to agree -... | |
| Advise on this speaker list I wouldn't worry about the mains & center integrating with subs and surrounds. These units will integrate usually with anything. As Tls49 points out - its important to have the L/C/R's match in a multi channel set up.I would worry more about h... | |
| Recommend an Entry Level Turntable I would suggest the Pro-ject Debut CARBON at $399. It is a much improved and better table than the Pro-ject Debut. I think this may be the table that Yogiboy was actually suggesting as it comes with the very well reviewed and received Ortofon 2MM ... | |
| Wrong setup? If after all your experiments in proper placement, you find you still have the higher frequency sizzle you speak about, then it may be time to consider to new speakers.It could be the sound of the metal tweeter that Totem is using that is not as p... | |
| Wrong setup? Sounds like a fine collection of three components you bought. What about the fourth component - the room?You make no mention of the room. Do you have a lot of highly reflective surfaces like untreated windows, hardwood or tile floors, etc.? This c... | |
| Looking for integrated amp with phono for starter Marantz PM8004 at 1K list. Smart shopping should be able to get one for less. Built at their reference factory in Japan, this integrated is not afraid to state its true specs - 70 wpc into 8, 100 wpc into 4, damping factor at 100, nice MM phono st... | |
| VPI Direct Drive Turntable +1 to Zenblaster and Manitunic's comments. I have followed this thread scratching my head. So VPI is coming out with a new 30K turntable. Whats the big deal? As was astutely pointed out, VPI received no government subsidies (to eventually be paid ... | |
| just an observation for comment First, I am not an LP collector but listener and my goal is to find the best sounding copy of a title that I really, really like. While I agree with most of the above comments I cannot say all the reissues do not stack up to good, early pressings.... | |
| Phono Stage Recommendation/ Advice While not the Tube Box S, I have a Pro-ject Phono Box S and can't say enough good things about it. It is mated with a Pro-ject RM5.1 SE and Dynavector 10x5 MC cartridge. This phono stage embarrassed my previous Parasound phone stage that I had. It... | |
| Deciding between Yamaha or Marantz Thanks for smoking Bo out with your question F1a. I think we all got the answer we were expecting from him. More meaningless drivel.Besides, how could Bo possibly explain something that cannot exist outside the mad lands of Bo's mind? | |
| Deciding between Yamaha or Marantz I am sure many of us will thank you Bo for another detailed yet absolutely meaningless explanation. Its been awhile since I had a good laugh reading one of your diatribes and this one ranks up there with your best.My favorite parts and I quote you... | |
| Deciding between Yamaha or Marantz +1 to Phasecorrect's comments as he is correct! Speaker design and especially its placement in a room, is critical to achieving a deep soundstage and thus obtaining the 3 dimensionality that Bo so often talks about. Not the brand of amp. The amp i... | |
| Amp ventilation question Very nice speakers Jeff. Thanks for sharing. I am curious though...sounds like your a fan of bi-amping but why consider two integrateds to get the job done? Seems like a waste of a pre-amp section on one of the Marantz's.Why not consider one integ... | |
| Amp ventilation question I own the amp you are looking at. I also have 4 1/2" of top clearance for it my open rack. Absolutely no problems whatsoever. As is the case with just about anyone offering a product or service, they are being overly cautious in this hyper-litigio... |
