| Trade- off, power SS vs tube magic. No such thing as magic? You must be listening to solid state! | |
| Trade- off, power SS vs tube magic. Am I to ass-u-me the speaker will work equally as well with tubes or solid state? Is the primary concern the amount of power or sound quality? | |
| Perhaps we should stick with midfi... "(for the most part we agree for instance that Bose is crap),"Ok, audiophiles agree Bose is crap, but who has actually set up a system with Bose speakers the way they would with a popular audiophile brand? Who has selected just the right amp and p... | |
| I'm going to start from scratch Your Marantz 2325 will not properly drive B&W 803D speakers and the speakers are too big for your bedroom size room. Keep the Marantz receiver and Klipsch speakers and buy a better CD player until you have a larger room. | |
| Perhaps we should stick with midfi... I think we have all been there at one time or another. I think it is psychlogical. When listening to an inexpensive midfi system we don't expect much from it, so we relax and just enjoy the music. When we listen to a $60,000 system our expectation... | |
| room treatment, where do you start? Edge22, I think what Elizabeth is saying is her room treatment consists of furnishing and window treatment and there is nothing wrong with this approach. Even if you use commercial acoustical products furniture and window treatment should be taken... | |

| room treatment, where do you start? You start by determining whether or not you need room treatment.This question comes up on a regular basis. Many folks avoid responding and I should too since I'm beginning to sound like a broken record even to myself.There is no guarantee room tre... | |
| Beyond the Audio Research SP-11 with Tympani IVas I actually used a Levinson 23.5 and Audio Research SP-11 MKII in my system for quite a while. They are a good match. The Levinson 23.5 is one of the all time great amplifiers and Bryston would be a step backwards. If your system sounds bright at t... | |
| Amp for Martin logan CLS Originals Its always a pleasure sharing thoughts with another CLS fan. The CLS is an amazing speaker that takes the right person to make it sing. Once you have experienced a properly set up CLS nothing else will do. | |
| Pioneer House Sound from the 70s I agree with Onhwy61. Some products sounded better than others not only within brands, but within models in a given brand and it isn't any different than it is today. The lower powered amplifiers usually sound better due to simpler designs and few... |
