| Project Xtension 12 or VPI Classic 3 Thanks for the responses.I am aware that I am looking at expensive components however I feel that in the long run I will save money because I will not have the need to upgrade as I am possibly doing with my current speakers. Regarding the cartridg... | |
| Hegel H200 I thought all of their equipment was high quality.I listened to the Hagel amp, preamp and cd player.The amp was built like a tank, all of the components were very clean in their design and all of the controls had a high quality tight feel. I had n... | |
| Hegel H200 I have demo'd the Hagel H4SE twice over the last two weeks. I had never heard of them prior to that.It is an awesome amp but currently out of my price range @ $10,000. I have not seen any Hagel Amp for sale used although I did see one integrated a... | |

| best bang for buck on used ht speakers? maybe b&w? I just sold B & W Matrix 803's. I had the same Pioneer receiver and then used it a the pre - pro and upgraded to an Emotiva XPA-5. The B & W's performed very well for me for about 20 years. I sold them for $800 and I feel the buyer purchas... | |
