| Dynaudio 3.0 vs. ProAc 2.5 I auditioned both the ProAc 3.8's and the Dynaudio Contour 3.3's, Confidence 5's and the Contour 1.3 MKII SE (best small speaker I've ever heard). The Dynaudio won hands down. I've read many posts and reviews that the Dynaudio's have some of the b... | |
| Best 2 Channel Amp under 5k Plinius SA100 MKIII or used Plinius SA 250 MKIV | |
| A Tombstone in the Living room???? I keep an urn of my dead cat's ashes on top of my CD player. Makes the speakers purr. | |
| Have ARC LS-16 Pre- what to upgrade to?? I went from the ARC LS-16 to the ARC Ref I. Very satisfied. Greater detail in all ranges. Incredible soundstage with added depth. Using Meridian 508.24 CDP, Plinius SA100MKIII amp, Dynaudio Contour 3.3 speakers. | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Dynaudio Evidence has to be the best speaker that I've ever heard. It made me feel like I was on stage with the musicians, hearing their every note, their every breath and the fingering of each instrument. I kid you not! If I was a multi-millionai... | |
| Best CLASSICAL Compact Discs? A few of my favorite: On the Decca label, their Legends Series, Vivaldi le quattro stagioni - The Four Seasons - Neville Marriner, Academy of St Martin-in-the-Fields, this CD is 96kHz 24-bit Super Digital Transfer. This version of the Four Seasons... | |

| Your 5 Fav Rock Concerts Oops- that should be Buddy Guy and Junior Wells at the Bitter End. | |
| Your 5 Fav Rock Concerts I used to volunteer for Rock Medicine so I caught lots of shows. I'll leave out the first Woodstock Festival and the first US Festival for obvious reasons. The Allman Brothers-Live at the Filmore East (they were the last band to play at the Filmor... | |
| Dynaudio v Revel I own the Dynaudio Contour 3.3's. I listened to many speakers before making my decision to purchase. Dunlavy IVa and Alethea, Proac 3.8, Maggie 3.6r, Martin Logen Prodigy, Revel, Hales, etc. I even chose the 3.3's over the Confidence 5's. I just l... | |
| Class Action Suit against UPS? FedEx Ground (formerly RPS) is a big ripoff. Their shipping is competitive with UPS, but they will try to charge you a $10.00 weekly fee for pick-up. Each time I've used them they've done this, even though I didn't request a weekly pick-up schedul... | |
| Audiogon "RECORDINGS TO DIE FOR" list Oops, that should have read: Sir Neville Mariner and the Academy of St. Martin In The Fields-The Mozart Experience (Philips Label) | |
| Audiogon "RECORDINGS TO DIE FOR" list On the top of my list is, The Famous Sound of Three Blind Mice on JVC XRCD, Bryan Ferry-Boys and Girls, Jennifer Warnes-The Hunter, Sir Neville Mariner and the Academy of St. Martin In The Fields-The Mozart Collection (Philips Label), and Vivaldi ... | |
| NBS Speaker Cables and Interconnects I purchased the a set of NBS Monitor IV XLR interconnects and the Monitor IV speaker cables. They replaced JPS Superconductors. They are very good cables. In matter of fact, I bought a pair of Nordost SPM XLR interconnects and was very surprised t... | |
| Vote for the best speakers in 10K range Kthomas- The Dunlavy SCIVa and the Dunlavy Aletha were my second considerations. Actually, I was very impressed with the Martin Logen Prodigy, but my wife requested that the speakers look like furniture and not something out of Star Wars. |
