| "Fastest" 15 Minutes in Music Steve:Give that particular track from Aida a shot. At last year's Stereophile show, I used that track to demo the Dragonfly monitors that the Soundsmith sells. The track has special meaning to me mostly because it was one of the few pieces of mu... | |
| What matters most for an enjoyable home listen? For both music and movies the same would hold true. Also, the first two are sometimes the most difficult to come by:1. No distractions (someone interrupting, or talking over the performance, or standing in front of me). 2. A minimal amount of stre... | |
| "Fastest" 15 Minutes in Music What an excellent thread! If you like opera, I can recommend a 5 minute piece where time seems to stand still. Track #8Aida: O terra, addio; addio, valle di pianti (4:49)Verdi: Arias & Duets / Plácido DomingoEMI Classics - Greatest Artists of ... | |
| speakers for rega mira and saturn cd player? I would try Rega speakers. I am using the Rega Ara (bookshelf monitors) in two of my systems and they are quite good. Arcadia Audio has a NOS pair of Rega Ela for sale here. Arcadia is an excellent dealer to work with. Of the new speaker line, t... | |
| Good Speakers for an ampless system? Think of your receiver as a combination power amplifier, integrated amplifier, and radio tuner. So, your Denon receiver is an amplifier, 6 or 7 of them to be precise. I think you meant to say amplifier separates. The website Accessories4less , ca... | |
| Opera Platea? I have been using the Opera Plateas for almost six months in my main system. The Plateas replaced Acoustic Research 302 full range speakers that I had used for 8 years. The associated components are: Prima Luna Prologue 5 tube amplifier (6550 tube... | |
| Reliable tube integrated for $1000 If your single driver hemps are Omega loudspeakers, they pair very well with the Prima Lunas Prologues 1 &2. Omegas are fussy with solid state amps. Regards, Rich | |
| bookshelf speaker choice Small kids ... playful and high flying cats ... all pose similar problems to the both their own health and the health of your speakers.The NHT's are good choices because they are sealed box designs and can be wall mounted or placed on a shelf or p... | |

| anyone have the NHT3/4 w/ Primaluna amps? Do tell Listening to Radiohead's new album on my Prima Luna Prologue 2/ Rega Apollo CD player/ Rega Ara speakers combo ... vocals and instruments sound pretty good. I am using this system in a 15 X 10 X 8.5 room, nearfield listening position, between low ... | |
| anyone have the NHT3/4 w/ Primaluna amps? Do tell I would be more concerned with how high you play your music as the PL 2 only puts out 36 wpc. If you listen at less than Woodstock levels in a moderate sized room, you should do OK. The PL does fine with both vocals and instruments. NHT speakers d... | |
| anyone have the NHT3/4 w/ Primaluna amps? Do tell For quite a while, I used the NHT SB2 (now the Classic 2) with the Prima Luna 2 integrated. I loved the combination. With music that was vocal rich, the sound was almost 3D like. I thought that tubes gave the NHT's a dimension that solid state amp... | |
