| The first watts Note...I wouldn't be too concerned about this...a friend has a switchable A to A/B amp and the differences were nominal...although "golden ear" types will push pure class A...the irony...the majority of normal listening requires very little power.... | |
| Advice from apartment dwellers I assume since one pays a premium price for NYC real estate that there are space restraints...that being said...a bookself or small floorstander can yield good results...the real issue is volume and that depends on your taste and your neighbors...... | |
| The first watts I used to have a full class a amp that one could cook a steak on. I didn't feel the marginal benefits were worth the price, weight, and excessive heat. | |
| Revel F208s, F52s or Nola Contenders? Have to add that all things being equal the quality of the recording really can determine the level of transparency which equates to speakers disappearing. I have never heard Silverline described as "boxy" and would agree that sounds like a sales ... | |

| Pioneer SX 1050 Recommended Speakers Vintage hi powered Pioneer receivers tend to be a bit overly warm and bass heavy...which is why I would recommend a modern mini monitor type since you have space constraints....all the vintage lushness associated with Pioneer with the speed, artic... | |

| Best Cheap Speakers - New or Old Also..B&w 610 or older 6xx series from 90s..these are kind of old school 2-way 8 inch models...large by today's standards...but I always have like the full sound/scale of this design...they do require stands...and are unbeatable on the used ma... | |
| Paradigm speakers Would have to agree...the Studio 20s were a solid choice at $600 years back...at close to twice that now...that is a very competitive price point...one is in range of Vandersteen, Magnepan, etc...I have been less enthralled with their entry offeri... | |
| Why blind listening tests are flawed I'm all for blind tests...the opposition is coming from hi-end makers, publications, etc...they have nothing to gain against lower cost competition...if they win...they were supposed to...lose, there goes bragging rights and their business.... | |
