| Recommendations for Amp/speaker combo for $10,000 I dunno, I think I would first identify speakers that sounded the best in my room. Then I would probably begin my search for an amp/premp combo that worked correctly with my speakers and the room in which they are placed. After all, *everyone* her... | |
| Cables that are more enhanced than Acoustic Zen Wow, a thousand bux for 10 feet of speaker cable? I find it hard to understand how that last 10 feet will mitigate the thousands of feet of cabling that were used in the original recording, mixing, and mastering phases. However, if that cable has ... | |
| Subwoofer for Vienna Acoustics Mozart Grand I have to think that most any of the Velodyne DD or Optimus Series would serve you well. Velodyne makes nothing but subwoofers and I think they do it better than any other company.The DD (Digital Drive) and Optimus subs make use of some very sophi... | |

| Magico V2 or V3 Vs Martin Logan Spire Put pair in your system and see if you like the sound. If so, keep them. If not, keep on searching...-RW- | |
| Sporty SIE2 and SIE2i Earphones Yes, it *definitely IS an advert and has no place on this forum. And, BTW, the Beats headphones sound like sh!t...-RW- | |
| Audioquest Bedrock Just run the cables from your amp to the speakers and ensure that you have a good, tight connection. Don't sweat the stuff that makes NO difference...-RW- | |

| Totem Arro vs Revel Concerta F12 Frogman, a good sub mated to those Arros would solve your bass-shy problem. And it would free-up the Arros to concentrate on the mids and treble. A Velodyne DD-12 or DD-15 would seem to be a good way to go...-RW- | |
| Power chord for Jadis D50Signature It's a power "cord", not "chord". A power "chord" is something that Jimmy Page plays. Spending big bucks on a pwoer cord is not wise moeny. A Pangea for ~$70 will do just fine, thanks...-RW- | |
| Hi, I'm new here, and I'm an addict... The Oppo 103 is all you need for digital source playback. A big, separate amp would greatly improve upon the wimpy amps found in almost all AV receivers. And a separate pro-pro like the EEmotiva UMC-200 or upcoming XMC-1 would serve you well.And, ... | |
| Amp upgrade from Bryston 4B The Spectron is a great amp, good recommendation!-RW- | |
| Quad 57' system upgrade suggestions requested Alex, can I buy a paragraph break,please?! Dude, your post is virtually un-readable.Having said that [smile], the Quads would benefit from a big-ass, high-current amp. And a sweet tube-based preamp would sound good in that mix. No need to spend $2... | |
| Best and Worst names in Audio NAD was always good for some laughs - GoNAD! I posited that it stood for "Not Again, Dammit" when we suffered thru all the early NAD equipment failures and returns (they are MUCH better now)...-RW- | |
| Upgrading Equipment Need Some Advice Drop the receiver idea and get some hi-value separates. The Emotiva UMC-200 coupled with one of their multi-channel amps will flat-out smoke the Yamaha receivers...-RW- |
