| Secondary Speaker Mechans brings up a good point. The Studio 100 V.3 might be what you are looking for. 2300 new, should be able to talk the dealer down to under 2000 if you are buying new. | |
| do yoy always have to pay full price? My advice is find a Martin Logan dealer in your area and make nice with them. It may take some time, though. I know with my local dealer, it took me six months of buying things before the discounts starting rolling it. But, it was worth the wait. | |
| do yoy always have to pay full price? Finding the right dealer will always have benefits such as discounts on gear. | |
| Ladies analogy lover? Armstrod, I'm not sure if I agree with you. Saying you have to be a music lover to be an audiophile is like saying you have to like getting from point A to point B if you are a car lover.I admit I do love music, but can see how you can get mixed u... | |
| Buyer Beware of Late Part 2 Yes, I wrote audiogon and also told them about Trazis, Nautillusnr1, Democco, Jnejja, and Alivealive. They all have very minimal feedback and it all relates to each other. I'm sure it's one person setting up feedback so he can scam. I bet that all... | |
| If you had $12,000 for speakers and amp JM Labs 927Be speakers with YBA passion integrated and money left over for some swell cables. A very well rounded system that does a lot of things right. Probably not much better without spending a whole lot more money.Of course that is my opinion... | |
| Integrated for B&W 805 Signatures Having owned them with Musical Fidelity A308 integrated with Signature 805's, I can highly recommend this combination. Perhaps the new A5 would be just as good, if not better. I like the fact that the Classe is on the top of your list. Not sure if... | |
| Which Intergrated amp for starter?? It's a good budget if that is what you can spend. I say blow the entire thing on good speakers and save up for a decent amplifier. However, if that is your budget, I'd still go with the Complete, and add a pair of B&W CDM 1NT's or some Green M... | |

| Burned out hi fi salesman Ask around at other high end shops. Most employees either don't have the money for a system, or are so sick of dealing with gear during the day they don't want to spend time with it at home.. | |
| Floorstanders: 1k used-Psb,Audes,etc.... Paradigm Studio 100 is a nice speaker. But, I don't think you'll even be able to get the v.2 for under a grand. Let alone the v.3. If you haven't listened to B&W 603S3, new for 1k, it'd be worth a trip. Just for comparison purposes. | |
| Paradigm Studio 20 v.2's vs. Revel m20 Well, I didn't go from the M20's to the v.3 There were about 15 different pairs of speakers between those two. A job change forced the sale of B&W Sig 805's and I've stepped back to the paradigm v.3. Basically I was looking for a budget speake... | |
| Paradigm Studio 20 v.2's vs. Revel m20 I've had both speakers, more than once. The studio 20's are great. I'm using the v.3 as I write this. But, they don't hold a candle to the Revels. With the right equipment, the M20's are unbelievable. And at the price they are going for on the use... | |
| Is my system bottlenecked? I think it depends on your budget. You have decent front speakers, and fed the right amplification, can sound very good. I don't think you are currently feeding them enough power. I would try to find a used Classe 200 wpc amp. I don't think you ar... | |
| Why receivers aren't worth the "competetive price" You can't buy separates in Circuit City or Best Buy. That's where a majority of people go to buy AV gear. People on this site know the differernce between quality gear, and mass market gear. (For the most part) They understand the idea of separate... |
