| nht sb-3 vs b&w 601 I meant to add ... I purchased both my NAD C320BEE and NHT SB2 when I was recovering from spine fusion surgery (28 screws and one rib now connect from T8 to L4). You owe yourself a gift and few gifts are more rewarding than audio gifts. Knee joint... | |
| nht sb-3 vs b&w 601 They are both good speakers, but my preference would clearly be for the NHT SB3. The SB3 is a warmer, more musical sounding speaker than the 601. I attribute this to the NHT being an acoustic suspension (sealed box) design, as opposed to the tuned... | |
| MF A300cr or A3.2cr for my Monitor Silver 9i Go with the MF A300. Assuming that you are using a preamp (volume control) and not shaking the windows when you listen, the A300 will not be too much power for the Monitor Audio Silvers. The A300 is a slightly warmer sounding amp than the 3.2, whi... | |
| Executive System like JVC EX-A1 Art:Listen again, before purchasing the JVC EX-A1. The EX-A1's claim to fame is that the speakers' cones are made from wood soaked in saki ... that "feature" and the associated "Bose like" marketing accounts for its high price. Checkout the amp's ... | |
| Musical Fidelity A3 CR Vs A3.2 Integrated With the model progression of the MF integated ... which would be A300 to A3 to A3.2 ... the MF sound has been tweaked to become more detailed and analytical. I originally owned a MF A3 integrated (gold trim) and have since upgraded to a MF CD PRE... | |
| Any lucky Xindak SCD-2 owners here? David:There is a poster at the Digital-SACD forum over at AudioAsylum.com who is a big fan of the Xindak and may be willing to assist. The poster goes by name of "Theresa."Regards, Rich | |
| Recommendation for inexpensive integrated My comments will be VERY general in nature. Also, I have not used tube equipment for a good while and I may not be entirely up to speed on SOTA tube equipment. With that said ... tube equipment can provide a greater degree of lushness, warmth, and... | |
| Recommendation for inexpensive integrated I would not view a Jolida and NAD comparison as a "which is better" type of question. It is more a question of do you prefer the sound of tubes over solid state electronics? Answer that and the rest is simple.Regards, Rich | |
| Speaker Choice If you are looking for a HT set-up in your bedroom, go with a 2 channel(LR) or 3 channel (LF; C; RF)HT set-up at most. Rear channels in a HT set-up only provide ambient sound and the proper set-up of the rear channels can be a pain, given that the... | |

| Recommendation for inexpensive integrated I have the NAD C320BEE ($400 list) paired with the NHT SB2 and to my ears, it is a great combination ... very musical with an enjoyable sense of detail and I can listen to it for a long while at a time. The NAD plays much louder than its 50 wpc wo... | |
| Matching Sub for NHT SuperZero XUs? If you go to the NHT web-site , you will see reviews of the PB10 sub-woofer paired with other NHT speakers. You should be fine with the all NHT set-up.Regards, Rich | |
| KEF 2005.2 + Harman Kardon 135? Jeremy:I didn't even know that there was a HK 135. In any event, you may find interesting is that the HT receiver that HK is pushing hard this year is its HK 330. That receiver is quite a step-up from the HK130 and offers many of the features that... | |
| Downsizing-Need Integrated Amp Advice The Musical Fidelity integrated amps are refined and musical sounding and will do a good job with your new Europas. I owned the A3 for a year and loved it, before upgrading to a MF CD PRE 24/A300 combination (even nicer). Upscale Audio usually h... | |
| AR 2 xi speakers Given the components in the AS-F2's (two 8" woofers) and how well reviewed and regarded they seem to be ... I tend to agree with Tobias. Plus, the AR's will probably need some work to sound their best. If it is not too much trouble ... swap them i... |
