| Used full-range speakers less than $1,500 Used vintage Snell is always a good choice. Type A (1-111), Type B, C (1-5). In the C group the C-IV And C-V are the best choices IMHO. The type D is a slightly smaller version of the C-V and sound good also.Good Luck | |
| Does your amp/preamp/int amp have to look good? Beauty is in the ear of the beholder!FWIW I'm a budget aupiophool. My listening room is away from the rest of the house in the basement. Usually an "ugly" piece of gear can be got at a good price, but it MUST sound good. I could care less about th... | |
| Two subs or not Two subs? I agree with Zman.If you buy 1 sub first, get some long el'cheepo (Rat Shack) sub cables and move it all around the room. You may be surprised at where it sounds the best.Good luck | |
| Jumper Question Check the fuse next to the binding posts. They are there to protect the tweeters. If they are blown you won't get any sound.Good-luck | |
| What started you on your audiophile journey . Back in the mid 70's my older brother purchased an all in one unit (Tuner,amp,turntable,and 8-track)from Sears. We would listen to music and mess around with ways to help it sound better for hours. Then in 1982 a friend asked me to come over and l... | |
| cable fast dynamic and transparant recommendation DNM HFTN IC's about $500.00 for 1m, you will be satisfied! | |
| Obscure companies making excellent speakers? Shelby + Kroll :-) Do a search and read through the site.Tim Kroll has put together a great sounding speaker system. | |
| Interconnect Help I listen to a lot of acoustic guitar, Tommy Emanual, Frank Vingola, Chet Atkins, Mark Knophler, Earl Klugh, Rodrigo y Gabriella, Segovia, etc.... My IC's are DNM with the HFTN upgrade. It is like having no cable at all between my Dac and Pre.Good-... | |
| Class A SS vs. Class A/B SS I'm running my rig with an ATC SIA2 150. The first 80 watts are in clas A then will move to class A/B for the rest. I moved from tubes (300b SET) to this simple, great sounding, staight forward integrated.Good luck | |
| Help choosing speakers Snell CV and Type D will do the trick. I have had them both and depending on condition will run $500 - $1000 used.Good luck | |
| How hot is pure Class A solid state vs. SET? I just went from a 300b SET integrated amp to a SS Class A integrated and the heat is about the same.Hope this helps. | |
| Amazing ''Overachieving'' products...your pick? Shelby + Kroll Nano Monitors and Woofer Monitor. This combo at $2600.00 with some good Class A amplification will knock the socks of most speakers at many times their cost. | |
| Speaker help - short list needed If you can stretch your budget a little, Shelby + Kroll Nano Monitors and a Woofer Monitor in "b-stock" will run around the 2k mark. Very musical and fun. :-) If you are near or in NJ, drop me an email to set up a listen.Good-luck | |
