| Big Stupid Warm Speakers I use Acoustic Research 302's in both my main and 2 channel HT systems. They are 3 way; 10 inch woofer reissues of the AR5's and were updated by Ken Kantor of NHT fame. They were made in 1995 and there are enough pairs out there, as Accessories4le... | |
| My DVD player really heats up discs? ? Jer:An excessive heat problem similar to the one that you mention has been reported hundreds of times for the first and second generation SONY DVD players (circa 2000; like the DVP 360 & 560). Do a google search on "Sony C13:00 and heat" and r... | |
| Bookshelf spkrs revisited -Spendor/Dynaudio/FA If you look at my 2 channel HT system and Bedroom systems, as well as some of my speaker posts, you will see that my speakers require placement near the back wall or inside of bookcases. The quest for getting good sound with these set-ups has take... | |

| B&W with Epos Ideally, you would want to stay with speakers from the same manufacturer, as that is the foolproof way to insure a better tonal match across all your speakers. You would want the sound to be all in the same family. This is said assuming that you c... | |
| Are You Happy With 2 Channel SACD? Wmwman:But it's not buying a multi-channel SACD player that is the problem, it's really the additional amps, speakers, stands; etc. that go with it. ... right? So, the worst that happens is that you buy a multi-channel munit and only use it in 2 c... | |
| In-Wall System $3000-5000 Joseph Audio introduced some in wall speakers at this year's NYC Audio Show. When demoed, they were hidden behind a curtain to lead you to think that it was one of his different, more expensive speaker models in the room. Quite frankly, they were ... | |
| Vintage Advents too big for small room? David,Give stands a shot ... no small monitor will ever sound as rich or as pleasing as a full range speaker that sports a 10" or so woofer. It's just the physics man. It is not that small monitors can't sound good ... they can ... but they will n... | |
| Vintage Advents too big for small room? Armstrod: Your 12' X 12' room sounds very much like my master bedroom/listening room in my old Astoria apartment (11' X 11'). It's unfortunate that you can not place the Advents horizontally inside of/on top of a bookcase, because that would solve... | |

| Arcam A85 / EPOS ESL3's sounding too Bright Owned the EPOS ESL3's for a while and they were not bright sounding at all ... perhaps a little boxy sounding, which was more due to how I had them placed. I had them paired with a vintage Marantz receiver and Signal Speaker Cables & Interconn... | |
| MF A300 to A308: notable improvement? Bunker:Your observations are pretty interesting. At the May 2004 NYC Audio Show, Musical Fidelity's representatives were recommending pairing the MF amps with Thiel speakers ... to the point of claiming that quite a few MF personnel owned Thiel sp... | |
| MF A300 to A308: notable improvement? Silvmoon:My apologies for the erroneous reference regarding the 308 Integrated and the Tri-Vista. It is the 308 separates that employ choke regulation (ergo the CR designation) and draw upon the technologies of the Vistas. BTW, Musical Fidelity ... |
