| VON SCHWEIKERT VR-1 OR PARADIGM STUDIO 20 V3 It's funny you should ask this. I just recently switched from Von Schweikert VR-1's to Paradigm Studio 20v3. I couldn't be happier with my choice. I didn't care much for the sound of the VR-1's. I thought they sounded very thin, uninvolving and ju... | |
| How do you listen your system? Front, mid or back Totally system dependent in my opinion. I would listen to B&W Signature 805's with some classe gear up close and personal. However, I would listen to JM Labs Grand Utopias with YBA passion monoblocks in the far field. I wouldn't want to sit ri... | |
| Speed bumps as a cause of hearing loss. It would be to hard to enforce. Way too many variables. Size of speed bump, including length and height; speed at which you travel across them (they are designed to make you slow down, after all); stiffness of suspension on your car; tire pressure... | |
| Mark Levinson No.383 matches Proac Res.2.5? Pre amp/power amp combo allows for experimentation, and it gives a power supply to each of the pre and power. If you wanted a tubed pre and a solid state power, that would be possible. (There are some hybrid integrateds, though). Cables also allow... | |
| Krell Intergrateds..how come nobody likes em? I know of a few people that like Krell integrateds. Have you listened to the 400xi? Also, your statement about the same companies coming up with integrateds doesn't make much sense. You're forgetting companies like Musical Fidelity, McIntosh, Cary... | |
| Beware Sony CDs on your PCs There's a good reason to run with a mac. I doubt that it would run on anything but a windows machine. Windows users are subject to way more viruses than mac users are. | |
| Speakers with no woofer and no tweeters. Are you talking about a driverless system that operates similar to a planar speaker, only you use everyday items like head boards and mirrors? I would think the vibration would destroy the mirror, but I could be wrong. | |

| Recommended amp to drive Paradigm speakers Freakygreek, you are correct, Anthem is owned by Paradigm, so that is a natural choice. I'm personally using a musical fidelity integrated right now. I couldn't be happier with the synergy. I wouldn't have guessed it until I tried it. But I do lik... | |
| Best speakers 2,500 can buy. What B&W's are you currently using? Try the new 805S, a well broken in pair may be just what you are looking for. Unless you were wanting full range speaker. | |
| Does a subwoofer amplifer exist? If you really can't find a stand alone amplifier for your sub, take a look at the ones that manufacturers send with their subs. For example, I know that Velodyne used to have a model that came with an external amplifier. You can sometimes find the... | |
| B&W 805S.. Anyone listen yet? They both are excellent speakers. But I felt the Sig 805 was a fuller sound, and seemed to appear "larger" than the 805S. I agree that rooms, and electronics could be the difference. The midrange of the sig 805 is so smooth. I honestly believe tha... | |
| B&W 805S.. Anyone listen yet? Hmmm. I had completely different results. I have owned the N805, then the signature 805, twice, and then the 805S speaker. I heard significant differences between the sig 805 and the N805. In fact, I prefered the sound of the signature 805 in my r... | |
| Best integrated amp with MartinLogan Aerius If you like Alison Krauss, you made a great choice with the Aerius. I had that speaker a while back and loved it, espeically with her voice. As far as Rob's suggestion of the antique sound labs 1001, that was what I used to power my logans. It was... | |
| What do you think of my 25 laws of audio Is it just me, or do most of those actually mean pretty much the same thing? |
