| Ref. 3a , GMA & Tyler compare ? Saki70,Newbee is correct. I'm speaking of the Tyler Taylo Reference Monitors, not the Linbrook. I think this is a fair comparaison as the retail price is similar.BTW, the tweeter in the DeCapo sure looks a lot like the one in the Tylers. I don't k... | |
| I've come to the realization... I too would recommend you try the Speltz interconnects and speaker cables. They are cheap (especially the speaker cables) and you could re-sell them and not take too big of a hit to your wallet.I tried Paul's speaker cables and they certainly took... | |
| Ref. 3a , GMA & Tyler compare ? I've owned and used Reference 3A MM DeCapos (non-i version) and Tyler Tylo Reference Monitors in my smallish room. They are setup in a nearfield setup. For my room and taste, I easily prefer the DeCapos. The bass is more solid and well defined, th... | |
| Anyone tried the "book" speaker from Parts Express Petey,Another pair of speakers is exactly what you need! They're on sale, you should buy a couple of pairs.BTW, I live near PartsExpress and have seen/heard "the Book". They sound pretty good for what they are. I would recommend you buy a pair if ... | |
| GMA Callisto vs. Reference 3a De Capo i Crgolfer,Man, that is odd. I've had about 10 different speakers in my current room and my DeCapos (non-i version) are about the easiest on the ears of any of the ones I've owned. Admittedly, mine are the non-i version and the tweeter is probably t... | |
| GMA Callisto vs. Reference 3a De Capo i Crgolfer, "To each his own". I own the Reference 3A MM DeCapos and owned a pair of Athena AS-B1s (bookshelf vs your floorstanders) for a couple of days. The Athenas had zero redeeming qualities IMHO (they were inexpensive though).My DeCapos are th... | |
| Are there any budget tubed preamps that stand out I auditioned one of the Dodd basic pre-amps and it was very good. At the time, they were $450 direct from Dodd Audio. I don't know if Gary is still building them, but you occassionally see one used here on the 'goN.Enjoy,TIC | |
| Where to sell 78RPM records? If you want to donate them, try your local library. Many accept LPs.TIC | |
| General consensus on buying used eq. Be cautious when buying used speakers. Speakers are difficult to ship because of their size and weight. Make sure you verify that the seller has adequately packaged the speakers so the shipping company can not destroy them. Sometimes this may mean... | |
| Looking for a SET amp to pair with MM DeCapo's I have DeCapos and I've tried a Decware Zen with them. I would not recommend this combination. The Decware Zen can be a great amp with the right speaker, but this combination didn't work for me. The amp actually puked at only moderate volume. I th... | |
| Naim amps?? Steve Martin was correct! You can't sit down with just an Oboe and entertain a crowd!TIC | |
| Naim amps?? Jack,The previous two posters are correct. It's not about "watts". In my system, using my speakers, I could never use 75 watts. Currently I'm using a 5 watt/channel amp and I also own a 40 watt/ch amp. I never turn the system up past about 75% vol... | |
| advice re stand mounted speakers MrT,I haven't heard the Era, but it is getting good press recently. I've heard Castle in the past and I remember them sounding as you described. I also think they lood very nice!Enjoy,TIC | |

| How to get 2 Channel and Home theater in one packa The systems recommended by Jamesw20 and Fplanner2000 are variations on the "combo system" that I recommended. My recommendation uses a receiver for HT processing and powering the center and surrounds. James recommendation uses a quality processor ... |
