| Need help with speaker selection I would think you would want to stay with a Dynaudio product in order to have the best sound match with the surrounds. If that isn't an issue, a pair of Reference 3a MM De Capo-i might work well for you. Definitely not forward sounding and nicely ... | |
| Need speakers - Yamaha CR 840 I've set up a small office system for my wife using a Yamaha A760II integrated amp we had laying around. I didn't want to spend big bucks for what is essentially a background music system. I ended up buying a pair of Definitive Technology Studio 3... | |
| Now I Really Need a Power Conditioner? ? I would like to very strongly agree with those who are suggesting a propane powered generator. It is going to save you a LOT or hassle in regard to storing a sufficient quantity of fuel. (And you have to store enough, because the gas station isn't... | |
| What budget preamp for my Monarchy SM70PRO amp? I see you haven't had any responses, so I thought I would give you a reply. I thnik the problem here is your budget. I did a quick search here on Audiogon and really didn't see anything that I could recommend at $250 or less. The Monarchy is a goo... | |

| redgum audio rghd headphone amplifier I can't answer your question, because I have no experience with the the Redgum. However, if you are looking for a solid state headphone amp, you should add the Sugden Headmaster to your list. Also, you might check HeadFi and Headwize for opinions ... | |
| Rogue 66 or Quicksilver No one can answer that question for you. It depends upon your taste, your room, and your other equipment. I think they are both good pieces of equipment, each having its own sound. I personally prefer the Quicksilver (which I think has a warmer, m... | |
| Upgrade Accuphase DP75v to Linn CD12 ? Since no one else has replied (yet), I'll give you my two cents worth. First, a disclaimer: I haven't owned either of these products--but I have heard both of them. Also, I don't know how much money you would realize from selling the Accuphase, or... | |
| Best Tubes for Audible Illusions 3 Pre-Amp I would direct you to the AI website where the designer/manufacturer addresses this question. I would also suggest "Joe's Tube lore" over on Audioasylum. I've used both an M3 and a L1 for over 5 years and have tried many tubes. Due to reliability ... | |
| The best way to isolate my subs from the floor? I have seen Vibrapods recommended several times for use under speakers. They are about $6.00 each and are available from several sources. They would be the least expensive option posted so far, won't harm anything, can be easily removed if you don... | |

| Proac 2.5 or 3.8? Given your room size the 3.8s would be a better match--although if you really listen at "moderate levels" the 2.5s would also work. Overall, I think the 3.8 is a more refined speaker and works well with a broader range of music. The 2.5s work best... |
