| Monitors for a bedroom system....... S7, For the third time already, I was just making a "getting your money's worth" argument, given how the speakers will be used. It was about value received, not cash spent. If Myth chooses to spend the cash ... more power to him! The "money to spe... | |
| Can anything beat Vintage Amps for the $$$? Steve:I think you did vintage right as your main pieces ... amp; preamp; and speakers ... are all vintage. In fact, the preamps in some of these vintage receivers were outstanding. I have had good, but not great results pairing vintage receivers w... | |
| Monitors for a bedroom system....... Oz:Please take the time to read the whole sentence ..."$2000 is too much to spend for speakers for a bedroom system, given that you will be listening while lying straight out in bed." It was not the price, but rather the listening position that wa... | |
| Monitors for a bedroom system....... S7:Actually, my assertion that $2K is too much to spend on bedroom speakers is not based on one's ability to pay. What I was considering was :- how bedrooms are typically furnished (bed, night stands, dressers, armoires, drapes, etc.)- the physica... | |
| Can anything beat Vintage Amps for the $$$? JTN ...By vintage, we are talking at least 25 years old ... right?I have been using two restored Marantz receivers for the last 4 or so years (2216B and 2240). Their tuners perform great, but the amplifiers will sound like a modern amplifier only ... | |
| Monitors for a bedroom system....... $2000 is too much to spend for speakers for a bedroom system, given that you will be listening while lying straight out in bed. I have had to go with near rear wall placement and have found that acoustic suspension/sealed box speakers work out bes... | |
| Review ... Neil Diamond's "12 Songs" Brrgrr:I doubt very much that it is your system. At times, it does sound like Neil is "kissing" the mic and that highlights the aging of his voice. His voice has always had a bit of a rough edge to it. When I first listened to the CD, it was throu... | |
| Grounding problem: I'm clueless On the face of it, it sounds like you have a ground loop somewhere. Was the hum introduced into your system when you introduced the turntable? Also, by a ground plug, do you mean a "cheater" plug (converts 3 prongs to 2 prongs)? If not, then a che... | |
| Gon bonkers with def tech...help.. Dzigon:The Def Techs 7004 towers are fine speakers both aesthetic and performance wise. I think that they get knocked in audiophile circles because they are marketed as HT speakers and not as serious audiophile fare. So what? My main system speake... | |
| Best budget bookshelf speakers for 3-600 dollars. Daimbert:In your price range, NHT makes some of the best budget monitors out there. They are acoustic suspension designs that are very musical sounding and go low in the bass, given their size. The NHT SB2 ($400 list; $300 if you shop around) or t... | |
| Speaker recommendation to match Prima Luna amp? Hi Michael:Actually there are a fair number of PL owners out there. Audiogon members, Newbee, Kehut, Jh2os, Tpsonic are PL owners to name a few. You may wish to look up their systems and/or email them and see what they think.Regards, Rich | |
| Animal damage to system Funny you should mention cats ... Sylvester, the Alpha Male, scratch out out a pair of EPI 100 and a pair of KEF Q55 speakers. He also chewed through some telephone wires (under the carpet) and shorted out my phone system. Scooter, the franchise k... | |
| Digital or analog audio connection to receiver? If you are using a HT receiver and a cd/dvd player and your receiver has a digital/optical jack on the rear panel ... use it. You will just need to make this single connection to get surround sound. The digital/optical connection will also make fo... | |
| 20 Best Naxos Releases Iggy:When I started to explore classical music in a big way about 3 years ago, I searched out the Naxos label because of the number of performances (over 2000) and the inexpensive price. After a while though, I found that there were better perform... |
