| Best sounding FM table radio ever made... If the stations you want to hear stream, a blutooth boom box will sound better than any table radio available now. I still have a tuner but my GE Super Radio is always at hand. | |
| Subwoofer Advice I ran Infinity RS1B towers with my stuff. Nothing worked better. You will see most big loudspeaker systems run towers. I see Tekton sells a few different kinds, I'd be tempted.. | |

| I'll welcome myself back after a brief hiatus "Think of those early days before FM radio and you liked to ride in the car and listen to AM. " For me it was my Dad’s mono rig. A small Bogen tube integrated, a 45 player, and A University coax in a custom cabinet (think 1950s). Dang thing took ... | |

| Is 12'x12' too small for Magnepan 1.7's? I had MMGs in a 10X10 room but the room was at it's limits with the speaker 4.5 feet into the room. I tried a pair of 1.6s and I could not get them to work in that room. Maggies like space, if you can use another room, do that. | |

But there is some great stuff. Gems like Arnold Layne, see Emily Play, Cymbaline and Careful with that Axe Eugene are great examp... | |
| Thinking of Downsizing You are going to be disappointed in a $1000 speaker. Keep the 805s and replace the Mac with a Musical Fidelity Integrated, that will still put money in your pocket. | |
| Will there be a dramatic difference? "@audiotroy we are a parasound dealer theA21 is a good amp you want a jc5 which is a much better amplifier then the 21" I think this is accurate from what I know. | |
| Happy Accident An equilateral loudspeaker positioning is just a good starting place. You should always try different positions and see what the effects are. No telling what is happening in your room without complex measurement and analysis but nothing wrong with... | |
| C12000 Owners! Help. Tube vs Solid State Question Most likely you are hearing the difference in your cabling or the 3db difference between RCA and balanced outputs. |
