| Klipsch Heresy? Crazy to consider? I have used a Prima Luna integrated (PL2) with a CD player as a source for almost 10 years in a similar sized room. I use monitors as opposed to floor standers, since the room serves as a TV room, for lack of a better phrase. The two speakers that... | |
| Speakers for Vintage Marantz ? Plus other Qs I used Marantz 2240 and 2216B receivers over a 10 year period from 1997 to 2007. I never bought into using vintage speakers with vintage receivers. I always used modern speakers and a CD player. I had the best results with the Rega ARA (now RS1), ... | |

| New direct drive turntables? Hi Howard:Treated myself to a Stanton ST 150 a few months ago and I am really digging it, so to speak. What made me choose the Stanton? First, there are not many audiophile type reviews out there for what are essentially DJ turntables. What I di... | |
| Anyone else own EPI/Epicure "back in the day?" The EPIs from the late 70's were part of the 'New England sound' style of speakers when such distinctions were relevant. EPI's founder and head designer was Winslow Burhoe, who was part of the design team at Acoustic Research. Burhoe makes a moder... | |

| Integrated to go with KEF LS50 Sounds like we share some similar musical tastes. I use Prima Luna amps in two of my systems and the speakers involved are Ascend Acoustic Sierra 1 monitors and Opera Platea floor standers. For yuks, I recently swapped in a Rega Brio integrated am... | |
| What is today's equivalent of KEF reference 102 I am not sure if I would be spending significant dollars for bedroom speakers, especially for back ground music. I have posted before on this topic and the questions I usually ask are along the lines of:1. how much time do you typically spend list... | |
| Using my Adcom amp and preamp I used the ADCOM 545 amp and GTP 500II tuner/ preamp for over a dozen years. I used a few different speakers at the time, but enjoyed the amp most with EPOS 11 speakers. We listen to a lot of the same music types. There are some good deals out the... | |

| Thoughts on Emotiva Stereophile favorably reviewed the Emotiva ERC 2 two years ago. There is also a separate topic on the Emotiva discussion boards on these players.I have owned both the ERC2 and ERC3. They are well built, substantial CD players (28 pounds). The ... | |
| lafayette 9090 or Sansui 4000 At the $350 - $400 new range, there is only such much difference between products. Since your concern is primarily on a warmer than neutral overall system sound, then just make sure that you buy from a place where you can return something if you d... | |
