| What is your experience with the law of diminishing returns ? Clearthink may be onto something. Depends on where you snap the chalkline for diminishing returns. And granted my 'why did I do this' with a $500 upgrade may be chewing gum money to someone else. Then again, I realize that I come from a time wh... | |
| Schiit Vidar Outlaw RR2160 @guscaldasIn his original review of the Outlaw 2150 receiver (2006), Mike Fremer noted that the USB port was not all that great. You may wish to check his review in Stereophilehttps://www.stereophile.com/integratedamps/306outlaw/index.htmlRich | |
| Recommendation about speakers with limited space behind Port bungs will work to a degree as you are essentially making your speaker a sealed one by plugging the ports.It will sound ok, just not great. Not quite in the 800 euro to 100 euro drop league, but 800 euro to 500 euro wold be closer to what yo... | |
| Recommendation about speakers with limited space behind The bookshelf space is about 32 cm deep and 33 cm high. Not a lot of room, that is only 12" x 12"I have lived with speakers on shelves, inside bookcases, on their sides and there are compromises involved. I would aim on sounding good, anything e... | |

| 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... | |

Alternate bet... | |
