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... | |

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... | |
intergrated for rock and dance and blues Joolz:If I may add one more integrated to your list, audition the NAD C320BEE ($400 list) ... it is both very musical and detailed sounding and a real bargain. I have owned one very happily for two years now ... use it daily ... and have no desire... | |
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... |
