| My grandfather needs some suggestions for speakers It would be helpful if we knew if we knew what it is about his current speakers that he does not like.Nonetheless, many, if not most, folks on on these sites forget that the speaker/room interaction is probably the single biggest arbiter of overal... | |

| Recommendations for inexpensive Integrated I posted to your other post. Look at the Emotiva Mini-X integrated, it is a very nice little integrated amp and is $700 less than the Dared: http://shop.emotiva.com/collections/amplifiers/products/a100-RW- | |
| Please help me change the look of my speakers You could have a cabinetmaker sand the cabinets and re-stain or paint to match your gear. This should not be very expensive, much less than applying veneer...-RW- | |
| Advice on selecting a tube amp I lived on a 45 ft. sailboat for a year, I know your situation. You want solid state, high-reliability, and good build quality. And you certainly don't want to spend stupid money on it. You might take a look at the Emotiva Mini-X integrated amp, i... | |
