| Speaker compairson? Jon:Without having heard either speaker that you are comparing, I don't quite understand why you would give up speakers that ... (the Micro's) are by far the best sounding speakers I've ever had in my home system. All the rationalizations nothwith... | |
| I'm looking for inexpensive bookshelf speakers. Eben:The following speakers will serve you extremely well with both your current Denon receiver or if/when you upgrade to a more expensively priced amplifier.1. NHT SB2 ($400 list)2. Wharfedale Diamond 9.1 ($350 list)Both speakers sound differentl... | |
| Review: NAD C-320BEE Amplifier Hi Van:I have been using the IXOS SILVER GAMMA 1001 interconnect in one form or another for the last 3 or 4 years and have had great success with it. I prefer sound that it is on the warm side with a reasonable amount of detail and nuance and the ... | |
| Epos Vs. Neat Hi Loose:The rear port on the EPOS 12.2 needs space to breathe, otherwise its magic is lost. They also need to be on stands at a proper height. The EPOS 12.2 are fine for nearfield listening.I owned a pair of EPOS 11 that never sounded as wonderfu... | |
| Review: NAD C-320BEE Amplifier Hi Van:Does moving the speakers out into the room (a meter or so from the wall) improve things any? The Ruarks are designed to operate ideally out in the room. The bass may be sounding smeared because the speakers are too close to the wall. Altern... | |
| Is this ludicrous or not? Teajay:So you know already you are not crazy. Without getting distracted by all the obvious stuff that you mentioned in your post ($40K amps, removing the "veil", etc.), the reviewer, in this case, is acting like a dope ... with a capital "D" plai... | |
| Review: NAD C-320BEE Amplifier Van:My hunch is that your bass definition issues may lie with the Ruark Epilogue speakers. These speakers are mini monitors, designed to work in small rooms, that only go down to 55 hz and need to be out in the room to be able to go that far down.... | |
| Covers of Woody Guthie - "this Land is Your Land" BD ...Many of the versions of "This Land is Your Land" come from the folk music world and were made during the 60's/Vietnam War protest era. If you appreciate and like that genre of music, then Pete Seeger's version from "The Essential Pete Seeger... | |
| Anyone at the Stereophile show The speaker that I enjoyed listening to the most was the Focus Audio FS78 SE (floor standing anniversary model). I enjoyed them so much that I went back to the room 4 separate times and spent a total of about an hour and a half there on Friday. If... | |
| My system suggestions on improving bass - Totem Ben & Valinar:Just a little levity about hearing loss gentlemen. The "over 45" remark was to set-up the anecedote about my buddy's and my experiences at the show. My conversation with my buddy was getting to ... I no longer listen for the same... | |
| "Finicky" DVD Players Steve:The SONY DVP S7700 is from circa 2000 (my SONY DVP S560D is from the same production year). Other than redbook CD's (no CDR-R or CDR-RW's) and production DVD's, the SONY's will not play anything else. You can go on Google and search on "SONY... | |
| My system suggestions on improving bass - Totem Matt:I have a similar main system set-up with the MF CD PRE 24 (preamp & cd player) and A300 CR power amplifier. My speakers are Acoustic Research 302 which easily go down to 35 hz ... so the bass is on par with some of the best that I have he... | |
| Speakers slipping on speaker stands Have you tried Blu-Tac or White-Tac? It is a silly putty type product that you would roll into small balls and place between the speaker and the platform.Regards, Rich | |
| Cambrigde Azur 640c??? The NAD C320BEE and Music Hall CD25 combination is magical. Each component brings out the best in each other. If you were starting out with the NAD C320 BEE (or were thinking about buying one), the Music Hall is the way to go (as opposed to the CA... | |
| Integrated & Tuner or Amp & Tuner-preamp? To answer your question directly ... I would go with an integrated and a separate tuner, as there are just more choices in excellent integrateds, than excellent preamp/tuner combinations. With that said, I would reconsider the NAD 372, which just ... |
