| Speaker upgrade itch Opinions 2500$used I would have to agree that the Revel F30 would be a good choice, but will need lots of power. I was going to suggest audio physic virgo II's until I went back and reread your original post. That's what I own and I absolutely love them! I had ML el... | |
| Clueless and Seeking advice on TT purchase Hey Craig, one of my friends has a VPI scout. I don't know much about the T, but I do know that his setup sounds awesome for the money and it falls right in your price range. | |
| Best 5K used or new for Musical A308cr System With the exception of the cd player, I've heard the same setup with a pair of audio physic virgo III's and it sounded great. I was really impressed. | |
| The best wall construction If I was in your position, I would build a 2x4 stud wall with drywall on either side. In addition, on the listening room side, I would put a material called sound board underneath the drywall. It's made by a company called Celotex. A big name in t... | |
| Review: Parasound A-23 Halo Amp Amplifier I too just purchased the same set. However, I also purchased the matching tuner. I wasn't going to, but the price was right so I jumped on it. I do not have them fully broken in yet. I've only had them about a week or so. I can't wait to see what ... | |
| Any recommendation for a modern FM tuner Brian is exaclty right about the tuners from the 70's and 80's. I've got a yamaha from '78 that I absolutely love. However, I also just picked up a Parasound Halo tuner and have been really impressed with its performance. | |
| Paradigm Reference Signature Series As far as the tweeter goes, it may have needed a little break in. Paradigm can sound bright before proper break in. Also, any idea what the associated equipment was? I have not heard them, but can't wait. I'm a huge paradigm fan! | |
| Will spend $ 2500 for used speakers for upgrade. I agree with RSbeck, you won't find 803's for 2500. I also agree that the Revel F30 would be an excellent choice. | |
| Favorite integrated amp? Audio Refinement. I've owned it four times. 600 bucks used or so. Other ones to keep an eye out for are Creek 5350 SE, Classe CAP 151, Krell Kav 300i, antique sound labs (many models), Manley Stingray just to name a few. You can't beat the value o... | |
| Linn vs rega cd players? I compared the Rega Planet 2000 to the Linn Mimik II. They both did things very well. I would say I liked the musicality and the usability of the rega a little more. I could have lived with both players fairly easily however. If you step up to the... | |
| Best $8000 stereo system- used It would be quite helpful if you mentioned the type of music you listen to, how big your room is, and what type of sound you hope to acheive. Without that information, there are too many possibilities to offer. | |
| I have a general question about surround sound. I guess I kind of feel like you are under estimating reflections. A reflection can sound as lifelike and be dynamic as direct sound. To me, that is the point of multichannel music. Although I have not adopted it yet. | |
| bass management with integrated amp Have you listened to any of the subs from paragidm? They might do exactly what you are looking for. Also, I think you can throw the X-30 crossover from paradigm in front of the sub using the line out on the preamp. That might be redundant though, ... | |
| Four Speakers one Amp - Help with this dilemna I'm not real sure if the integrateds out now have a variable output or not. It would make sense to me that it would be controlable with the volume pot of the integrated. I was thinking of using the integrated as the pre amp. Then use the integrate... | |
| Four Speakers one Amp - Help with this dilemna I'm not sure I can answer all your questions, but I'll cover some of them. You can use one pre amp with two amplifiers, but you have to have the right pre amp. It must have two sets of pre outputs. One for each amplifier. Then, if you want to cont... |
