| Anyone using baffless speaker with a full range? You might also take a look at the Alon (now Nola) line of speakers designed by Carl Marchisotto - dipole hybrids, employing an open baffle design for mids/tweeter mounted on a large bass enclosure. I had the Alon IVs for yeas and loved them - ve... | |
| Speaker recommendation for married couple The spousal unit and I have just completed our first speaker search as a couple. My spouse, a musician, initially wanted stand mounts (Genelec, B&W). Based on past experience, I wanted floor standers (as close to full range as we could get for... | |
| Integrateds, which one?????????????? Rega Brio or Marantz PM8004-8005. The Rogue could be quite fun. Not a fan of the Anthem or Rotel. | |
| Your favorite Sheherazade LP ? Another vote for Reiner and CSO. Fabulous. | |
| Best floorstander at $2k or less? Second vote here for the Tritons. | |
| Just Ordered New Speakers Rick, our dealer was pushing Paradigms too. (Discount with trade in etc.) No go for me. After 30+ years in audio, I am not easy to impress. The Ones impressed me. | |

| Please Help Me Choose a Speaker Cable As a female, let me just say this: I think your original cables look very tidy! And I would've wept to see the Vandies leave. Curious about the CV-8 so looking forward to your report. | |

| Opinions on a good HT/Music AVR I come fom high end 2 channel audio world and have to say that - based on personal experience - Arcam makes very good sounding receivers if you're into music as well as HT. I've had several Dennons and I'm just not a fan, especially for music. For... | |
| Herron VTSP-3A Just to amplify Bill's assessment of the Herron amps - they are WAY WAY underrated in the audiophile community. Terrific amps and highly synergistic with the preamps. I think the disregard for the Herron amps is partly that few have actually heard... | |
| Need a new power amp: Herron vs. Classe/Spectron I had excellent bass from my M150s powering my Alon Vs. Probably a more benign LF load than your speakers.I liked the Spectron Musician II amp I tried but I personally much preferred the sound of the Herron amps. I didn't try keith's newer amps, t... | |
| Herron VTSP-3A You can roll the tubes - but I don't see the point.1. The preamps already sound superb. SUPERB.2. Keith voices the Herron gear incredibly cunningly. He chooses his tubes exceedingly carefully, for reliability as well as fidelity. These things are ... | |

| Alon II Mark II EEK I hope the OP did not hack his Alons.Mission makes some bookshelf speakers that don't mind being back against the wall, but shoving speakers into a cabinet is a recipe for mediocre to bad sound. The vast majority of high end speakers, includio... |
