| Speakers that leave room to upgrade front-end I auditioned the Fabers,SPendors, and many other good speakers...but went with the new Quad 12L standmounter...they have a very, open airy quality with surprising deep,tight bass...and they are revealing enough to be mated with very hi-end equipme... | |

| Integrated amp & player for B&W 804, pls Ditto the Musical Fidelity recommendation...2 great Brit pieces that work well together...the big, open midrange Brit speakers are famous for plus a very smooth, airy top end...nice combo...I would also avoid NAD cd players...there amps are very g... | |

| Unsettled and considering changing stuff Lots of good equipment...but I would certaintly "pare" it down a bit....Im on the other end of the spectrum...intergrated,source,speakers...I had a more "elaborate" system...but find that a simple, well selected system will outperform a more costl... | |

| Vienna Acoustics Mozarts are rated 6 Ohms ? ? ? As mentioned...I wouldnt worry about it too much...if your amp can handle 4 ohms...it can easily handle 6...my Quad Ls are rated at 6 as well...and as mentioned...most speakers dont have a steady load...even those "rated at" 8 have dips...VA is pr... | |

| Upgrading - - recommendations monitor speaker? If you want to go used...PSB minis for around $500 used are not a bad choice...a little "boxy" sounding...but with a smoother hi end than Paradigm...bass isnt the tightest I have heard in the price range...but they are surprisingly musical...I wou... | |
| Upgrading - - recommendations monitor speaker? the only one that really stands out is the Paradigm Studio 20...good imaging, very good transparency, a bit "hot" on the treble...and a touch loose in the bass...but for around $500 what do you expect? For a little more I would still go with the Q... | |
| Upgrading - - recommendations monitor speaker? Again...the Quad Ls have that heritage due to their ELS cousins...they are extremely quick and detailed...and are designed for accuracy over extension...although the amount and quality of bass will surprise you...not ALL Brit speakers are lean...t... |
