| Question on KEF speakers i liked their reference series and currently use a pair of reference 2's in my home theater. you can find a pair of kef reference 1's for around the price you are looking at that (IMO) would sound better that the small 'Q' series speakers. | |
| Best all around box speaker between 15K and 25K i also agree with tumbler's reply. I just purchased a pair of totem mani-2's. my reply above was for a very large room. any smaller, i would go with a pair or Totem speakers and invest the $$$$ you would save. You will not be disappointed. | |
| Transparent Link 200 for Totem speakers i used to own transparent musicwave plus speaker cables to my totem model 1's and I moved to all bogdan silver cables and ic's. the transparent cables were lifeless compared to other cables I listened to. if you move up the transparent chain, they... | |

| Best all around box speaker between 15K and 25K imo, i thought the joseph pearl's sounded the best at he2003 and they cost 20k. (VOTED best of show the last 2 years if that means anything). the 5a's sounded pretty good also, but i thought the joseph, wilson, and a few other sound better. The So... | |
| Speakers: What's MOST important to you?... tight bass, full midrange, and smooth highs. that is why i look at speakers with smaller (but could have multiple of them) woofers (10" or less in size) because they tend to have a tighter lower octave and still produce enough bass for me. smooth ... | |
| Vanderteen 5A's versus Wilson WattPuppy 7's they were dedicated rooms. the room with the wp 7's was a bigger room. i talked with a few people i knew that attended he2003 and they were impressed with the 5a's at he2003, so the room couldn't be all that bad. btw, i also liked the wp sofia spe... | |
| Vanderteen 5A's versus Wilson WattPuppy 7's i heard both of them at he2003 this year. not the best place to audition systems but you can get a good idea how they sound. i also have a local dealer with the 5a's and listened to them there as well. both are very good speakers. price no object,... | |
| What is your price range for used vinyl? i purchase on average 2 or 3 used albums per week for a cost of $2.50 to $4.00 per album. New albums are around $10 on up. we have quite a few music stores that sell used cd's and albums. for example, some of the music stores have thousands of use... | |
| Totem Arro Placement i have them 6" out from each corner in my den. slight toe in. no sub needed here. mostly listen to jazz, blues, and new age while working/playing on the computer. | |
| The ideal listening room if i was going to build the ideal listening room, I would go listen to the experts on how they design rooms or hire an expert to design the room for you. at he2003 this year in san francisco, they had a panel of speakers talking about designing an... | |
| 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... |
