| Best Speaker for audiophile-grade small room rig i would second muzikat's opinion: Joseph and totem. i have both the totem model 1's and the totem arros. very nice sounding speakers. i think these speakers would match well with your other components. | |
| Recommendations on mid-fi speakers i agree with the 2 responses above. I use a pair of arro's in my den and they are amazing small speakers. actually, these speakers sound better than many other vendors more expensive speakers. | |
| Speaker suggestions? i agree with dave_b. i have a pair of totem model 1's in my listening room and have a pair of the totem arro's in my den. the arro's are designed to place near a wall (mine are 6" from the back wall and 6" from the side wall). the arro's (along wi... | |
| Revel vs. Aerial vs. B&W imo, no aerial speaker system will blow away a revel studio or salon speaker system! i grant you, the 20t sounds much better than the 10t (i like the smaller woofers in the 20t, tighter bass than the 10t, even the model 9 sounds better than the 10... | |
| Very best in world music - recommendations? michael hedges, checkfield, ralph towner, enya, enigma, david lanz, william ackerman, hardcastle. | |
| Echo Busters or Room Tunes????????? i have 4 ASC tube traps in my small room (2 larger ones in front corners, the 2 smaller ones in rear corners). They work very nice in my room. I found these at a local dealer who was going out of business. I paid $300 for all 4. There are many web... | |
| keeping collection organized????? i use an excel spreadsheet that i download to my ipaq. i then take my ipaq with me when i go shopping for cd's and albums (a couple times a week) to verify if i have the album/cd or not before purchasing. I also have a list of music that i want to... | |
| changing from monitors to florrstanding speakers for your size of room and using the classe integrated amp, i would recommend trying a pair of totem forest speakers (small 2 way towers with a full range sound). i listened to the totem forest and hawk speakers for quite a while at he2003 this yea... | |
| concert DVD recommendations Fleetwood Mac, Fourplay, Eric Clapton's Unplugged, Santana, Diana Krull, Dave Koz, Dave Matthews, Trans Siberian Orchestra, Led Zeppelin, and the Eagles. I did purchase a computer animation video dvd called "animusic" at he2003 that sounds very go... | |
| Totem Model 1 Signature amp question. my suggestion would be to audition the totem's with your current setup, not just your amp. If you like the way a speaker sounds (you have heard them elsewhere), and you want to buy used, you will probably have to purchase a pair and then hook them... | |
| 13' x 9' room big enough? i also have a small room and use a pair of totem model 1's with a rel strata III sub. I would suggest getting a rel downward firing sub instead of the front firing ones. I listened to the rel 'q' series and thought the strata and the other REL's o... | |
| Totem Model 1 Signature amp question. totems do need quality power. i am using a pair of odyssey monoblocks with my totem model 1's and are very pleased. i did a test with my totem arro's. I normally have the arro's hooked up to a onkyo receiver (909 series with over 100 watts) in my ... | |
| Which speakers for top notch system i wouldn't call any of the revel speakers "lifeless". i would have to agre with Wvick that what matters most is how the owner likes them (personal preference). The best thing to do is see if you can bring a pair of each speaker home and audition t... | |
| Which speakers for top notch system i listened to the watt puppy 7 and sophia speakers at he2003 and they sounded very good. I also think that the Revel salons sound better than the watt puppy 7's and most other speakers for larger rooms. | |
| Loudspeaker - Amplifier Combination i have not heard your cables in any system before. I would demo a couple of different cable brands to see if they make a difference. try to use the same manufacturer for all of your cables. I have had many different brands (straightwire, cardas, t... |
