Concert Hall? Or Dedicated Listening Room?
"Problem" with that is that the acoustic of your listening room will interfere with the acoustic of the recorded space and the stereo imaging the recording engineer and producer worked so hard to capture. Think of listening to your current rig in ... 
DynAudio Audience 52: What Amp?
Thanks. It certainly sounded good at my dealer's, and apparently they're coming out with a sub to match as well. I've always liked the smaller Dynaudios everywhere I've heard them; of course, I also like their big speakers!Do see if you can use th... 
DynAudio Audience 52: What Amp?
I am, horror of horrors, actually building a small home theater system in a back bedroom, and am going to use the smaller Dynaudio Audience 42s for the system. In listening to a couple of AV receivers with them, the one that stood out as the best ... 
Smetana Ma Vlast
Newbee, could not agree more about Eastern European music, I really enjoy singing it as well as listening to it. When I visited Prague I was astonished at the number of musical events available for the listening--truly a city that loves music. The...

Alex said everything I was going to. 
Smetana Ma Vlast
One other, underrated Ma Vlast is Macal on Telarc with the Milwaukee Symphony; I do like the others mentioned though a little better.Agree with Newbee, there's a lot of Dvorak that's great music--many of his choral works are excellent, particularl... 
Is the dunlavy SC-IV still worth to buy?
That's really too small a room for the IVs; you need to sit a good deal away from them to get the drivers to integrate properly, and I think the extended bass, particularly with that small a room and its square shape causing room nodes, will be to... 
Is the dunlavy SC-IV still worth to buy?
I'd think the Dunlavys would work fine with the Krell, although if you could find a used pair of Duntech Princesses (also designed by John Dunlavy, very similar in size and driver array to the SC-IVs, and pretty popular in the Asian market so they... 
What's after Supratek
I had mentioned some of my impressions of it in Tbg's thread. I heard it on a number of occasions in Anna Logg's system, and helped the family sell it when she passed away a little over a year ago. The version I heard was not the current one, but ... 
What's after Supratek
If you can live without a remote, I think Tbg would recommend the H-Cat; he used to have a Syrah and felt it was not even in the same league. Check the threads under H-Cat. I can attest that it is something special. My one experience with the VAC ... 
Who Was Your Favorite One Hit Wonder
Spencer: I think the Foundations also did "Now That I've Found You" (Alison Krause does a nice cover of that one), so they probably don't count. Heard them years ago at the Filmore East, the poor lead singer's monitor wasn't working well and he sa... 
Comment on this system.
The good thing for your friend is that he can hear the combination he would be buying right there at the dealer's showroom. If the tonal balance and sound suit him (I agree with Rushton and Beemer in that I like the Eidelons a lot but have always ... 
Jadis amps and pre-amps still competitive?
I think Joe's talking about the brand, JJ Tesla. 
Older PURE CLASS-A Amplifiers
There are a number of folks on this site who own or are big fans of the Forte Model 4, which I thought was a great little amp when I heard it years ago. You might want to check the archives. 
Audio Grade Fuse, Anyone?
There was a thread on this a few years ago, you might want to check the archives, it was pretty interesting. If you really want to go nuts, Lloyd Walker insists (and puts it in the instructions for his motor drive, so I'd imagine it's in the instr...
