| 2-Way Floorstander, $1500 You might be able to find the studio 125's from proac at that price range. Personally, I'd stay away from the Meadowlark Swift. I've had them and think there is better for the money. I did hear the Vandersteen 2Ce over the weekend and really liked... | |
| Why Veneer? Meadowlark audio uses real wood as the baffles for some of their speakers. If chosen correctly, it can work to your advantage. | |
| Beginners Tube Amp Recommendations Anthem INT 2 can be had in your price range. Tubed pre section with solid state power section. 90 watts per channel should do you just nicely. Just be aware that the volume pot is not the greatest... | |
| How long before Paradigm Studio series break in??? Depends on which paradigms you are using. If it is the Studio 20, 205 watts is plenty. If you are powering the Studio 100's, 205 is okay, but you could still use more. They take a very long time to break in. I would not do much serious listening b... | |
| Best acoustic -natural instruments CD's I have to agree with the above and say Tracy Chapman "New Beginning" is great. Also, two of my favorites are Nickel Creek "Nickel Creek" and Alison Krauss "New Favorite". Both are excellent acoustic recordings. | |
| Paradigm Studio 60 vs. 80 Personally I'd stick with the 60's. I think they are quite a bit better. I never cared for the 8" midrange the 80 had to offer. To me, the 60 just seems to be a more refined speaker. | |

| Best relatively Compact Speakers in $2000 range?? Why look any farther than the Revel line. The M20 is a sweet speaker! Priced right in your range. | |
| which monitor for audio refinement int. amp? B&W all the way. I had the same setup and I loved it. I think they are a great speaker and they can be had in your price range. | |

| Some questions about ML speakers.. ML has fixed the problem of bad sound while standing up. Atleast I've heard. They have done this on their new clarity speaker. Which, if I'm not incorrect, is one step below the Aeon. They have placed a tweeter on top of the woofer cabinet directl... | |
| Which Amp for B&W N803 I've heard a BAT system that sounded great with the 803's. VK-30 pre amp and VK-200 power amp. | |
| Upgrade Paradigm Studio 20s for music & movies You have tons of options at the 1500 dollar price point. The first speaker that comes to mind is the Revel M20 In the used department, you can find them in your range almost always with stands. Huge increase in performance over the Paradigm studio... | |
| help from revel enthusiasts please Why not try a side by side comparison at the dealer? I've owned the 20's and know how good they are. I would venture to guess the gems are quite a bit better. Just a hunch after hearing how good the Salons are. |
