| Where can I buy HTIB from US to ship to Spain? I have made purchases by phone and on-line with merchants based all over Europe without a hitch. Is the real issue that this could be viewed as a third party transaction ... i.e.: billing and shipping addresses, as well as the names are not the sa... | |
| Adcom 5300: too aggressive for Epos M 12s? For years, I ran EPOS 11's with an Adcom 545 power amp and Adcom 500 II tuner/preamp and they sounded great ... not harsh or aggressive sounding by any means. The EPOS house sound is not a bright sound, at least not to my ears anyway. By compariso... | |
| Anyone compare Sony SCD-CE595 and Music Hall CD25? If you can find a used SCD333 ES or SCD555 ES in good shape, it may be worth it. These were the more affordable, tank-like build SONY ES SACD changers from a few years back. As I mentioned before, I have owned the SCD555 ES for 4 years with no pro... | |
| Anyone compare Sony SCD-CE595 and Music Hall CD25? For redbook CD playback, replacing the Music Hall CD 25 with the SONY 595 would be a mistake. The Music Hall has a depth and musical quality to its sound that the SONY just does not have ... the 595 sounds like an entry level player with redbook C... | |

| AR 2 xi speakers Tobias:Depending on your room size and how loud you listen to your music ... you may be OK with the HK 930. I drive one pair of my AR 302's with a NAD C320BEE which is rated at 50 wpc and I rarely go past the 10 o'clock point on the volume control... | |
| AR 2 xi speakers I know of the Acoustic Research 2 ... AR 2A ... AR 2X ... and AR 2AX models, but no "i" for improved designation. In any event, here is a good starting point .You have acquired a piece of hifi history ... a classic speaker from one of the the com... | |

| Are DVD recorders not good players? If you are not much of a video person, and don't believe that you are apt to change ... then I don't think that the differences between the playback quality of a DVD recorder versus a DVD player will be that important to you. What I have seen thou... | |

| Has hi fi become too specialized I tend to agree with Plato. I have owned component systems for 30+ years as well and CD only source systems for the last 10 years and I always thought that most of my music collection sounded pretty good and my systems had pretty good components. ... | |
| HELP Give Speaker Advice Please Are these speakers going to be placed on top of a dresser or credenza (6 foot separation) or will they be placed on stands? Also, can the speakers be floorstanders? Are we talking a small; medium; or large sized room? In general, for speakers that... | |
| NAD 7020 Classic Receiver Audio 44:So the big decision is whether you want to futz with the unit itself or give it over to a repairman and have him take of it. If you decide that the unit requires servicing or more than likely a good cleaning and you need to send it out, t... | |
| Epos ELS-3, JM Lab Chorus 705 comparison? Actually, I prefer the NHT SB2 ($400 list) or the Omega Super 3 ($540 list; also available in the T3 cabinet) with my NAD C320BEE amplifier (as well as with a vintage Marantz 2240 receiver). I owned the EPOS ESL3's and while they sound good with v... |
