| Please help newb put a system together This is the first time that I’ve heard anyone call the Kef 104.2s boring or dull. I wish you hadn’t pulled the plug on them so fast. I would be surprised if you couldn’t have made them work with better amplification, source, and maybe set-up. | |

| Best speakers for my system I agree with you Ckoffend. If my post seemed terse, its because I also agree with Tom6897. Do you have any idea how many quality speakers fit the OPs specifications? | |
| Best speakers for my system "Speakers are so personal!!Elizabeth is so right its almost trite. So, I figured, if youre willing to to put a decision so subjective up for grabs, Ill do a quick Audiogon search for speakers in your price range and see what jumps out. So I did... | |
| Are audiophile speakers turn on for single women? Dont underestimate the symbolic attraction of tubes, especially big tubes - phallic shaped, red hot and glowing, bursting with stray electrons. Heh-heh-heh... | |
| Preamp modifications - who would you use? Youre a lucky man Mitch. Im sure that you entered into the modification process hoping to gather as much relevant information as possible. IMO, this thread is a great example of Audiogon working. I cant think of an angle that hasnt been covere... |
