| Onkyo TX-NR807 receiver or similar - amp any good? If you can track it down, the Sensible Sound (Issue #99) reviewed the Onkyo TX-NR700 & 800 and was very impressed with the quality of parts and overall 2 channel amplifier design of the TX-NR 800. The reviewer's conclusion was that the 800's a... | |
| integrated or separates...on a $1200 price point? Without knowing how loud you play your music and how big your listening room is ... have you considered a tube integrated, like the Prima Luna Prologue One?Rich | |

| Best preamp fpr AR Classic speakers? I had AR 302s for almost 10 years. The 303 series speakers were built in 1995 and were designed to recreate the AR speakers from the 1960's. The 302s faced off to the AR5s.I used a Musical Fidelity CD PRE 24 successfully with the 302s. The CD PRE ... | |
| Era D4 or Energy RC10 for small bedroom system? Wall mounting should work out OK. Energy provides foam plugs for the rear port if the bass winds up sounding a bit smeared. The RC10's are available at half price for $300 from Vanns , which is a steal. Best regards, Rich | |
| Need help/advice on choosing a new CDP I have been using the Rega Apollo with a Prima Luna Prologue 2 on a daily basis for almost 3 years now with no problems. The Apollo is a great player for the price and I would not hesitate to recommend it. The initial issues that were reported wit... | |
| Era D4 or Energy RC10 for small bedroom system? I am using Energy RC 10's in my bedroom. RC 10's are a good size for small rooms, as well as bedrooms, but they can be placement fussy and it is not because they are rear ported. In fact, placement close to a rear wall or inside a bookcase tends t... | |

| Speaker recommendation Hi Classic:I have a friend using NHT Absolute Zero with a similar TEAC all in one unit (300 series). The sound and look is very pleasing. I wouldn't spend too much more, as the TEAC is limited. Additionally, I would hesitate to use Omegas. Omegas ... | |

| Tube amp for Spendor S3/5 SE Hi Rk:Getting the PL1 is not a bad idea. It's well made, performs well, sounds good ... all the things that an amp should do. The PL2 has upgraded parts. Let your wallet decide. On a $1000 budget, you could probably swing buying a PL1 new, but not... | |
| Tube amp for Spendor S3/5 SE Rk,I experimented with KT88, 6550, and EL34 with my Prima Luna PL2. I eventually settled on EL34 (and 6CA7). More than enough bass, excellent with vocals. I use Electro Harmonix all around for both the pre and power amp tubes. The EH's sound prett... | |
| Tube amp for Spendor S3/5 SE I listen to a fairly wide range of music ... opera, americana, rock, mostly music with vocals. Think Placido Domingo to Johnny Cash to Bob Dylan to U2. I also listen at low volumes, because I live in a coop/ apartment building. Tubes work well wit... |
