| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please One concern,While the overall consensus after doing a bunch of research here on Audiogon is that the Arro's are remarkable speakers for a very fair price (especially in the transparency/imaging/soundstage arena) I have also read posts suggesting t... | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Well, I may very go with the Arro's, then. There are several pairs currently on sale on A'gon for well under $1000, already broken in, no less, and the diminutive size should go down well with my significant other. :-) | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Knownothing,Thanks... I'll have to keep a lookout for those Arros... people keep recommending them!Have you or anybody else heard the Quad 21L2's? Underwood's selling a pair for under $1000.Also, thanks for your recommendation on another thread of... | |
| Best sounding CD player for under $500? Well, I went ahead and ordered the Music Hall CD 25.2 from Underwood. The reviews are fantastic, and as far as I can tell, the thing is built like a tank with a really good transport mechanism. I'll report back when I have it up and running in my ... | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please I heard from Silverline. They'll sell to me direct, and they recommend the Preludes over the Minuets in my system. Hmmm.... | |
| Best sounding CD player for under $500? I found that I can get the Music Hall CD 25.2 for $440. Do you folks think it's that far superior to the Oppo to justify the extra dollars? | |
| Best sounding CD player for under $500? Tiger,Are you using one of the Oppo DVD players for CD's only? | |
| Best sounding CD player for under $500? Tiger, Robbyg and Grinnell,Thanks so much for the replies. For about 12 hours there I thought nobody was going to reply... I was getting nervous about getting banned from Audiogon or something! ;-) | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please I read a whole bunch of reviews of the Silverline Minuets online, and they are uniformly extraordinarily positive, especially given the size and price of those speakers. I'm very interested in getting to hear them, if I can, but I can't find a dea... | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Buscis2,I think this is a great suggestion. I guess I really ought to wait until my turntable is back from being refurbished, then I can do some serious listening in my own room, if some of the local dealers are willing to lend me samples overnight. | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Newbie13,Thanks for the recommendation. Unfortunately you can't listen to the Ascends before you buy them because they're direct order from the manufacturer, but their return policy up to 30 days is very generous, and the reviews are uniformly... | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please I did get over to Whetstone, and Brian is a very nice guy. But the only speakers he could show me in my price range (which has now edged up to "under 1000 bucks") were the Rega R3's, which I liked "enough," but not as much as some of the other equ... | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Well, I got to listen to the little B & W CM-1 speakers today. Which leads me to ask the following, philosophical question: Why is it that home theater show rooms are such hopelessly lousy places to audition speakers? There is only one dealer ... | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please By the way, here's the link to that TAS review of the CM-1's:http://www.avguide.com/file-download?review=2476 | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Knownothing,Hi! I did find a home theater shop that carries the B & W's, and I'll try to get over there today. TAS raved about them, and the reviewer praised the qualities that I value the most, so I'll have a listen.Finally got to hear a pair... |
