Triangle Stella vs Axiom M22??
MFH:If you will be using a NAD integrated amp (my guess is that you will be using the 320BEE or 352), take a look at the NHT SB2 speakers. They list for $400, but can be had for less at J&R Music (City Hall area ... Park Row subway stop on the... 
For those familiar with the original AR9 and tubes
Try this web-site, as it is a web-site for classic AR speakers. I am more familiar with the AR5 and am now running the current day (1995) versions of them (AR302). I am using a tube integrated amp (Prima Luna Prologue 2). My listening room is 1/10... 
Cayin 220C Integrated & CD15B CD Player
My guess it that it will sound similar to my experiences when I changed from a NAD C320BEE to a Prima Luna Prologue Two tube integrated this past March. I am still amazed as to how alive and musical sounding the change made. In fact, I replaced th... 
Best Speaker New or Used under $1.5K
Denon 53:Finding a good speaker at your price level shouldn't be the problem ... identifying what you like in a speaker is usually the problem. I recognize up front that my tastes are somewhat different, as I tend not to care for some of the more ... 
Looking for speaker suggestions
I have had excellent luck with NAD amplifiers and NHT speakers. Their floor stander is the NHT ST4. It is like getting two speakers in one in that there is a sealed enclosure/acoustic suspension (essentially the SB3) monitor on top and a side firi... 
A book shelf speaker to go on a bookshelf.
Hi Zola:I have written variations of this response over two dozen times, so here goes two dozen and one:1. Do not spend a ton of money on speakers that will sit on an open shelf near a back wall or on an enclosed shelf inside of a bookcase near th... 
Review: Primaluna Prologue 1 Tube amp
Actually, I replaced my 250 wpc solid state amp (Musical Fidelity A300 CR) with the Prologue Five. I live in an apartment house with more than its fair share of elderly residents, ... so I tend to play my music at low to medium levels. But if it h... 
Review: Primaluna Prologue 1 Tube amp
A few months ago, I purchased the Prima Luna Prologue 2 (the 40 wpc, integrated KT88 tube based amp). I was replacing a NAD C320BEE that I was using in a secondary system with the Prologue Two and quite frankly, I was very impressed with the resul... 
Need help putting together a bedroom system
I have probably spent more time putting together a bedroom system, as it will not only need to meet with some WAF factor, but it will probably be the system most used by your wife. The system should be straightforward ... as in 3 components at mos... 
Any chance of Neil Diamond sacds ?
I have heard of no plans to put any of Neil's music on to SACD. But, if they were to consider re-mastering and SACD'ing Neil's work on the Bang; Uni; MCA; and Columbia labels ... that would be a more desireable event for me than putting the Beatle... 
Red Dog Tracks
Jond:Hi. I guess my initial surprise was that Chip Taylor wrote "Angel in the Morning" all those years ago (at least 40) and here he is pairing up with a talent so much younger. I was also surprised they released a second album. There is a lot of ... 
Musical Fidelity Seperates v,s Plinius 8200 II int
Kiwi:I just replaced the Musical Fidelity solid state power equipment in my main system with Prima Luna tube equipment. I originally had an A3 integrated that I replaced (after a year) with an A300 CR power amp and CD PRE 24 cd player/preamp combi... 
Best sounding SACD disc?
My two particular favorites are:1. Blood Sweat & Tears (2nd album from 1968, often mistaken as the group's first album. This album was the first album with David Clayton Thomas as lead vocalist). 2. Mark O Connor ("In Full Swing") - jazz, most... 
Quality Steppenwolf CD's
Arguably, Steppenwolf's best stuff was their early stuff. This recording Steppenwolf/Second is remastered, contains their first 2 CD's on one CD, and is available as an import for $25. If my memory is correct, their Live album from 30 years ago ... 
Am I missing something?
Sks ...Sometimes you just come across the product that does it for you ... all that you need to do is to tell the voice inside of your head to keep quiet. Back in 2000, accessories4less,com was liquidating the entire line of the 1995 Acoustic Res...
