Wharfedale Diamond 8.4
CL:I owned the 8.1's for about a year, so I am aware that the 8 series Diamonds are front ported. Given that, I still found that the Wharfedales tended to sound their best when out in the room a bit. Even though you might categorize the B&K as... 
Wharfedale Diamond 8.4
The Wharfedale Diamond 8.1's are the only ones of the Diamond 8 series that will work reasonably well with near rear wall placement. The Diamond 8 series is a ported design and sounds at its best when out into the room a bit. At your budget, take ... 
Cd player for my NAD320bee
I have the NAD C320BEE paired with the Music Hall MMF CD 25 and the combination is magical. I had originally paired the NAD with the highly regarded Pioneer PD 65 CD player. The difference in system performance between the Pioneer and the Music Ha...

Thread: NAD T752 & hish problem & what is the deal
Without knowing your room size, etc. ... have you considered 2 channel HT? You could possibly sell or return your NAD T752 and then, upgrade your 2 channel amp. Granted ... you would lose all the surround rear effects, but if you are not intereste... 
Giantkiller components
$1000 is too much (that would make for a $3K system). Let's make it interesting ... let's set the bar at the $500 range ($1.5K system) and for new components. Amps: NAD C320BEE ($400 new).Speakers: NHT SB2 ($400 new); Omega Loudspeakers Super 3 ($... 
Thread: NAD T752 & hish problem & what is the deal
Plamenz:Comparing a HT receiver to 2 channel separates in the same relative price range is unfortunately not a fair comparison for the HT receiver. With the possible exception of the Arcam HT receiver, most of the HT receivers from the usual HT su... 
Sansui AU-X1
Valken: You will have two sets of connections: DVD player to Receiver and DVD player to TV. The DVD player will be an audio input to your Sansui and so you will connect the Sansui's AUX IN to the DVD player's Audio Out jacks. You would then need t... 
What do you recommend for less than $3000
DT: $3000 is a lot of money for a system that should cost no more than 2/3 of that amount new. I would recommend the following: NAD C320BEE integrated amp at $400 new. If you would prefer a receiver, go with the Rotel RX 1052 at $900 new.Music Hal... 
Executive System like JVC EX-A1
Art:Sorry about the JVC. I have become a skeptic of any of the "giant" killers that quickly become darlings of Audio Asylum. When I began to read about how people were buying up these (and other) JVC's mostly because they were digital amps, claimi... 
Need receiver - speaker matchup advice
Jessleo ... There was a thread earlier this week regarding how to achieve decent sound with speakers located on bookshelves inside an enclosed piece of furniture (thread #1102390084). From an earlier thread, I see where you may be doing much the s... 
Recommendation for inexpensive integrated
Hammer ...Not surprised and hope your son enjoys the set-up ... it's a sweet one. Cambridge Audio (and Rotel for that matter) pair together very nicely with B&W and the pairing comes up frequently enough in the British hifi magazines. NAD tend... 
Speaker choices to go inside a cabinet? Help
There is only so much that you can do ... accept that up front and save yourself a lot of grief and expense. The resultant sound of essentially placing a box inside of a box can be pretty good, but it will be almost impossible to attain any of the... 
Budget tuner?
Or ... go back to the time when FM listening was considered as important as listening to vinyl or tapes. Go on ebay or your local Salvation Army (or sometimes even here on Audiogon) and pick up a vintage 70's or 80's receiver and use the receiver ... 
Executive System like JVC EX-A1
CJR888:If I had not listened extensively to the JVC in 3 high traffic stores on 3 separate occasions, for about an 40 minutes each time (6 audition hours total), I could almost accept the 300 hour "burn-in" claims. The 3 stores were all in NYC ......
