| 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... | |
| 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... | |

| 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... |
