| Integrated Amp for Stratus Goldi I would look into Plinius. I think they would provide enough power for that speaker. I know they are very power hungary. | |
| Which Integrated? Here are a couple to add to the list. I have not heard the Moon, but have heard good things. Plinius 8200, not the best looking, but supposedly can holds it's own with sound quality. Creek 5350SE. A strong little integrated. Very smooth sounding I... | |
| Speakers for Ht or Audio Depending on your tastes, I would say yes, but if you ask the manufacturer, they will tell you their speakers will work well in both applications. I don't know of one manufacturer that will design a crossover solely for two channel audio. I don't ... | |
| 3 Brit players around 2,000 retail-which wins? There are quite a few players out there right now that could might be able to better the ones you listed for under 2K. The Meridian 508.24 comes to mind. Also, if you are lucky, you might be able to find a Sony SCD-1. Arcam makes a player priced r... | |
| Upgrading 2 channel stereo. If it were me, I would run the CD67 directly into a nice integrated that had pre outs to add a sub. You could run the AV550 into the integrated if you have a tuner and DVD and CD all hooked up to it. Otherwise, I would just run your source into th... | |
| speaker redesign If you are really looking to change the sound, I wouldn't be aftraid to look for a different crossover. You should get pretty drastic results with a new one. | |
| Programming quirks on Audiogon If you are on the home page for audiogon and log in under "My Page" I believe you can post as many comments you want without having to log in each time. If you don't log in under my page, I think it forces you to enter username and password each t... | |
| Speakers for very near-field listening? Paradigm Atom would be a good place to start. Or you could move up to Monitor Audio Silver Series S1 at 600 bucks a pair. Either of those work well for near field. Especially the S1's. I listened to them in nearfield position and was very tempted ... | |
| Is good sound possible with an inexpensive DVD? NAD T550 is what I'm using. I use it mostly for music playback. Every now and again I watch movies, but not very often. I've been impressed. It is supposed to retail for around 800, but Upscale Audio in CA was selling them for 329. Plus, when I'm ... | |
| "Refurbished"? My understanding is that a refurbished unit is one that had a defect, was sent back to the factory to restore it in working order and then returned to the dealer. On the other hand, I always thought B stock was a product that had a blemish or some... | |
| Sound Proofing 101 If you are thinking of putting a covering on the wall, a company named Celotex makes some sound reducing material that is meant to be installed behind the drywall, but in your case, you could probably install it over the top of the drywall. We bui... | |
| Best Amp for Revel F30 I heard the Revel M20's with a levinson 383. It was the best sound I've heard thus far. I think the Revels mate well with Levinson gear. Maybe because they are all part of Madrigal and they have good synergy? Not really sure, just know that I real... | |
| Paradigm or Energy????? I've owned the Monitor 7 and thought it was a really good speaker. It did everything fairly well and was easy to drive. It was missing a little bit of detail and couldn't image as well as others I've heard. But that's not a fair complaint consider... | |
| What's your favorite speaker finish? My favorite is Rosenut from paradigm or Dark cherry from B&W. | |
| Integrated match for Martin Logan Ascents I would look at Jeff Roland Concentra I, Plinius 8200 MKII, unless you are trying to stay under a certain budget. |
