Please help--my ears are hurting
Papertrial:I went back and read most of your previous postings and it seems that this issue has been with you for a while and you have been doing your research. I read with interest a post of yours from June 24th of last year and one question that... 
Please help--my ears are hurting
On the plus side, you have an excellent Music Hall MMF CD 25 CD player to build a system around. Also, the JVC DVD players ... especially if it is something like the 600BL or 602SL is actually quite a good DVD player and competent CD player. The M... 
What to do about speakers?
Tim:The NHT's are excellent speakers (the SB2's are superb), but because of their acoustic suspension design that are a bit power hungry (85db sensitivity). When I had them hooked up to the Marantz 2216B (16 wpc at 8 ohms), I would be at the 11AM ... 
What to do about speakers?
Chas:Don't apologize for the Marantz 2215B. The Marantz 22XX series is one of the most popular and desired receiver series to come out of the vintage era of the 1970's. The "baby" Marantz receivers (2215; 2216; 2220) have a nice tonal quality to t... 
Omega Super 3 owners - what amp are you using?
JP:The Omega Super 3s are used in a bedroom system and have been powered with a Marantz 2240 vintage receiver. The system needs to be easy to use and a receiver made the most sense. Also, my logic was that high efficiency, single driver speakers w... 
Which amp and CDP for around $1200?
Magical:I have had excellent results pairing the NAD C320BEE integrated amp ($400 list) with the Music Hall MMF CD25 cd player. Absolutely magical pairing ... warm, rich, detailed, and engaging sound. If ARCAM is where you are headed, the ARCAM CD...

Adcom GFA 555 II too harsh for EPOS M12.2's?
Derek:Actually for about 5 years my main set-up was an ADCOM GFA 545; ADCOM GTP 500 II; and EPOS 11 and it sounded pretty good. I know that there are some differences between the ADCOM 545 & the 555 and the EPOS 11 & 12.2 ... but not enoug... 
single driver loudspeakers
I took the single driver loudspeaker plunge about 4 months ago and purchased a pair of the Omega Super 3's in the narrow cabinet. I have about 200 hours on them. I am in the middle of preparing a review of Omegas, but here are my impressions so fa... 
Combining HT and Stereo only setup. Recos Please
Nice to know that there are sane people out there, who have one system in a small apartment. I represent the insane ones who have 3 systems in a 2 bedroom apartment (my wife shakes her head a lot).Assuming that you are buying new and have a budget... 
CA azur 540A,audio refinement,NAD320bee,opinions
Mr Smile: I have used the NAD C320BEE for more than 2 years now as the integrated amp for my 2 channel HT system and I have had zero problems with it. I have been so satisfied with this purchase, I can not even imagine changing it. The NAD sounds ... 
How Important Is The Cdp?
Buying a $1000 DAC to use in a $800 system ... is a little extreme. The harshness is most likely coming from the CD player. Without getting into the whole Toshiba giant killer discussion ... combination CD/DVD players, especially in a budget syste... 
Advent parts, where?

NAD C320BEE vs NAD C350
If power is important ... the C352 has some more power (80wpc) when compared to the C320BEE (50 wpc). I have been so satisfied with the NAD C320BEE (and granted it is used in a second system), that I would only change it, if I were to ready to ser... 
NAD C320BEE vs NAD C350
Actually, if I had a C320BEE (like I do), I would not upgrade to the C352, but would probably upgrade to the next level of integrated amp. The trade-up from the C320 to C352 would cost me about $350 ($600 list price for the C352 minus the $250 pro...
