| Best speakers for classic rock Ive had MANY JBL's and I can tell you DONT get the L100's for 70's/80's Classic Rock. I would also NEVER suggest HARBETH because they are far too polite for this Genre.My favorite JBL's is actually a Combo that I use together...The L166 for the Hi... | |
| Benchmark AHB2 Amplifier, opinions and competition Kal Rubinson (The King of Multi-Channel Reviewers) uses 3 of these as Monoblocks in his 5.1 system. Has them hooked up to his Audio Research MP-1 Multi Channel Pre-Amp. High praise indeed!! | |
| What are the speakers you very rarely find in the Used market(Audiogon or Anywhere)? You can find plenty of Joseph Audio Pulsar's available but finding the Pearl's/Perspectives are tough. Was recently a pair of Pearl 3's here on Audiogon and they were snatched up in 2-3 days for 18K. | |
| Recent purchase - JBL 4410 Studio Monitors (Restoration Needs?) NOS Parts will cost you a small fortune if you need them...unless you buy used. MILLERSOUND has worked on all my JBL's and I highly recommend Bill if you need any work done. | |
| What are the speakers you very rarely find in the Used market(Audiogon or Anywhere)? I see O'93 pretty regular on Audiogon...Rarely O'96. I happen to have O'96's still sitting in their crates in a custom color you've never seen...Guess I would describe them as a Honey/Butterscotch color with a Quartz/Burl finish. I also have Au... | |
| Luxman D-06u or Esoteric K-05Xs CD / SACD player? Also depends on what type of music you listen to. Im a Classic Rock guy primarily and unfortunately much of the genre isnt recorded all that great. If everything sounded as good as the production on Dire Straits material for example there wouldnt ... | |
| MSB Select Dac vs Vinyl OP,Steve Hoffman Forum is the LAST place I would seek advice on High End Audio. 90% of the people on that board think PS AUDIO and Parasound are as good as it gets. Audiogon, AudioShark, Audioaficiondo sites are some of the best places to ask....... | |
| Help me choose a speaker match for my Line Magnetic 805ia tube amp under $10K Freesole,I have never used the Salk SS "8"'s so I cant tell you the difference. If I listed all the gear that I still have in boxes and never tried somebody would offer me a straight jacket. Always loved the way the Salk's looked (Mine looks like ... | |

You can have em for 50% off. I have about 10 pairs of speakers (Including Audio Note AN-E Spx Al Nico and Devo... | |
| Best place to sell high end audio equipment? Batmobil,I have NEVER seen anybody on EBAY charge the BUYER the Paypal fee. Ive been on EBAY since 1998 and have about 30,000 Feedbacks so Im hardly a Newbie. Your scenario might work in theory but have yet to see it implemented. | |
| Gryphon Diablo 300: at the top of Integrated Amps? Dag Momentum Integrated was recently compared to the Diablo 300 on the "My long list of Amplifier" thread here on Audiogon. Momentum beat it on every metric...and not be a subtle margin..as it should since its more than twice the price. | |
| Best place to sell high end audio equipment? Batmobil,On EBAY you don't have the option of charging the Buyer the Paypal fee. The Seller automatically pays the fee...3% roughly for USA sales...more for Foreign Transactions. Seller pays approx. 10% in Final Value Fees unless they have a Store. | |
| which Audio Research pre-amp? For the life of me I cant figure out why your not going with an AYRE KX-R Twenty Pre instead of Arc. I have the REF 10 and the KX-R Twenty so I am not biased (Fanboy) to either brand. Why would you think the synergy is better with Arc? | |
| Benchmark AHB2 power amp impressions? Kal Rubinson who writes the Multi-Channel/Surround Sound column in Stereophile every month uses 3 of these AHB2's in his 5.1 setup at home. Pairs them with the Audio Research Multi Channel Pre-Amp and says its an amazing combo. I already picked u... | |
