| Rank Stereophile, & why no Von Schweikert reviews As someone who's subscribed to Stereophile for several years and thought they were relativly fair, I did a little test.Take the recomended components guide, there's a couple different versions of this that come out yearly.There's an 'advertisers i... | |

| Continuation Best Small budget speakers for girlfr The TAD bookshelf speakers on sale here at the 'gon are an astounding deal for $169. I paid $300 8 months ago and thought I got a great deal. They'll go down to 40HZ, plenty of bottom for a bookshelf. Nice looking to boot.http://cgi.audiogon.com/c... | |

| Von Schweikert VR-4JR Bi-Wire Many people recomend Acoustic Zen Satori Shotgun biwire for these speakers. I'm using it, fits fine. | |

| Best speakers for 3 cord rock and roll Well I find alot of 3 chord rock to be subpar recordings, so your choice must be forgiving of the source material.You don't mention your room or other components, but I think Paradigm Studio 100's would fit the bill. Large sweet spot, tons of bott... | |

| Anybody heard the TAD 805SD speakers? TelescopeTrade - My satisfaction remains high. They replaced a 10 year old pair of JBL bookshelfs for a bedroom system, mostly for playing classical FM music. They're a Beamon leap improvement over the JBL's in every way. Most music is in the midr... | |
| Anybody heard the TAD 805SD speakers? Before I bought the 805d's I scoured the net for owners feedback and found nada, nothing out there, so I bought them on a wing and a prayer. So in light of the absence of reviews, I did a little testing and will try to explain what I hear in my sy... | |
| Anybody heard the TAD 805SD speakers? I received my pair this Saturday, they're gorgous in the African cherrywood. Although they're hooked up to an Onkyo receiver with cheap speaker cable they sound excellent, good imaging, suprising bass response and extended highs (my main speakers ... | |
| Any Putumayo fans? The out of print 'Putumayo presents best of Reggae' is some killer riddims, much better than the second Putumayo Reggae disc that's in print.I've explored some others in the catalog, but the first Reggae collection is the terrific-est. Amazon has ... |
