| Switching totems One last thing -If you are planning to place the speakers inside the bookcase, make sure you allow for running the cables out of sight. Insure that there are drill outs in the back wall of the cabinet. Where do you plan to place the components? ... | |
| Switching totems Not a ridiculous idea at all, just keep in mind that some speakers are better at it than others. You will also lose some audiophile niceties like sense of separation and disappearing in a room.The conventional wisdom is to go with sealed or front... | |
| Older or Modern amp for older Speakers (NHT 3.3) Had the NHT SB 3s and used them with a Prima Luna PL2 integrated. Depending on the source, like a movie DVD, the PL2 would run out of gas. The NHT 3.3 is the much bigger brother. I have been using the Class D SCA 250 amp ($500) for the past yea... | |

At the time, I was using it with Polk bookshelf speakers. It is the type of receiver that Zu Audio says mates well with its Dir... | |

I live in an apartment and can only go so loud with my music, so I understand.I have been using single driver speakers for the past 10 years in at least one of my systems.If you can wait a few months, I would go with the Zu Audio Dirty Weekend Flo... | |

Alternate bet... | |

| PrimaLuna Prologue one speaker match Hi Sam -If I can ask ...what is your budget, how big a space, what do you like to listen to ... you get the idea. I have some ideas. Just want to make sure I am not shooting in a barrel.Rich | |
| PrimaLuna Prologue one speaker match Hi Sam -Without knowing your room size or how loud you play your music, the PL1 should drive most speakers in the price range that you are considering just fine, within reason. I am just not sure why you would consider 'downgrading', so to speak,... | |
| Speaker plinth material bottom ported Zu Omen Defs Well if you are open to a $13 solution, this may be a way to go. These are the 2 inch version of the pads that I was referring to. Essentially a rubber and cork sandwich. Should work with the spikes. https://www.ebay.com/itm/ANTI-VIBRATION-ISO... | |
