| Best stand mounted monitors At first, I was going to recommend the M20, since I've owned it twice. But, with tubed gear, unless you have tons of power, I don't think you'll be happy. The Decapos would probably be my choice of you list above. Have you had a chance to hear the... | |
| Speaker Upgrade Suggestion I think that if given the correct amount of power, you'll find the N803's will probably surpass the N804's. Just a guess, however. My suggestion is a little lower than your specified price, but I wouldn't be hesitant to look at the Paradigm line. ... | |
| Recommendations to drive Dynaudio Special 25 I've heard the good things about the Hovland Sapphire with the special 25's. Especially if you want to move to the HP 100 for a line stage. | |
| Good sounding carrousel cd player?? Well, if you don't have to have a carrousel, look at the anthem CD-1. There was one posted here just a couple days ago. It's a six disc changer, elevator style. It sounds very good. | |
| Amplifier recommendations for Adcom/Paradigm Ref. I would have to agree about the parasound. If you are open to other suggestions, look for a used bryston 4b st. | |
| Jolida JD302B - Speaker Choice I agree, the Siverlines would be worth looking into. I would also consider looking at Coincindent and also the Soliloquy line. Either the 5.0 bookshelf speaker or the 5.3 floor standing speaker. | |
| Narrowing down floorstander selection. I agree that the M20 is a fantastic speaker. I've owned it twice. I'm sure the F30 is good as well, although I haven't heard it. I would personally recommend the audio physic virgo. Used they can be had for about 2200 and will have the bass you ar... | |
| integrated amp that matches well w/ Soliloquy 5.3s I think the Unison would be a great match. Perfect amount of power unless you really crank it and will smooth out that brightness you are refering to. Also, don't be afraid to give a listen to the YBA line of integrateds. They can have the warm so... | |
| What amp for Paradigm Studio 60 v.2? Anthem isn't made by Paradigm, but they do own them. I would suggest Anthem as well. Fantastic value. I would try to find a used Bryston before I went with a Rotel or a B&K. Anthem has such great value, I don't think I would look anywhere else... | |
| Speaker setup for HT in $2000 range I compltetly agree with the paradigm suggestion. I would definetely go that route. Reference or monitor line - they are both excellent. | |
| $250-$400 CD player recommendations? I second the Music Hall CD 25. For the money, I don't think it can be beat. The Rega Planet is good, but there are so many newer players out there that cost less and sound better. | |
| Upgrading from Tyler Ref Monitors I think the Virgo III would fit perfect here. Not sure if you've had a chance to hear them or not, but they are pretty sweet. To keep it in your price range you might want to look at a used pair of Virgo II's. | |
| Moving Out of Matrix 805's If I were you, these are what I would consider:Signature 805Revel M20Sonus Faber Auditor | |
| Best speakers for $500 or less Without a doubt, I would look for a used pair of Paradigm Studio 20's. Version 1 or 2. | |
| Powering Audio Physic Virgos Thanks for the comments. The room is about 12x18. The amplifier is a 50 wpc Audio Refinement Complete integrated. The Audio Physic is a 4 ohm speaker, so the amp is actually rated somewhere around 90 wpc at 4 ohms. I listen to all kinds of music, ... |
