| Aragon 8008BB or Plinius S100 MK III ? The first 25 watts of the 8008bb are class A.Personaly I would go with the Aragon. | |
| Best value speakers available You would be hard pressed to find a better value and bang for the buck than Von Schweikert (www.vonschweikert.com). From entry to cost no object, the Von Schweikerts compare favorably to any speaker, dynamic or electrostat. They are quick and dyna... | |
| How are Von Schweikert speakers? As for the last post that could not be further from the truth.The fact is VSA speakers hold their value and as for continuing upgrades that is just a crock.The VR3,VR4,VR4 genIIs,VR6,VR8 were never changed in their run. When VSA went under a # yea... | |
| How are Von Schweikert speakers? Vr4 gen IIIs go all the way down to 20hz and are somewhat larger than the 3.5s.The LCR 35 is probably one of the best centers around.THe entire new linup has had nothing but rave reviews. | |
| Mobile Fidelity CD s greta MOFIs;Bookends(Simon Garfunkel),any of the Pink Floyd,The Moody Blues,Madman Accross the Water(Elton John).Stay away from any Jethro Tull,U2,as the original masters stunk. | |
| Finally gonna buy new speakers, ideas? Since you are in the LA area you should make a point to visit the Von Schweikert factory in El Cajon.It is about 1 and half hour from LA and demo the VR5s.This is a speaker that has been reviewed extremely well and just about all reviewers ended u... | |
| looking for used Aragon 8008X3 or X3b How much are you looking to buy it for?I have one | |
| Krell AV Standard Anyone have one?? I use to own one a couple of months ago.This piece sounds great but is just loaded with bugs as was the the older HTS.Just inexcusable for a 13.k piece.I would call Krell.Their customer support is execellent. | |
| Aragon Amps Aragon is probably the most inderated audiopieces out there.They advertise very little and they count on word of mouth to produce their excellent reviews.The 8008bb is probably one of the best buys out there.The Palladiums rank right up there with... | |
| Best pre/pro for under 3K? Used the Aragon Soundstage.The sleeper of the whole Bunch.Analog bypass,volume control in the analog domain,6;1 inputs,full bass management in HT and stereo,down to 30hz,Class A operation in and out,modular design,fully upgradable,ect.Best part; i... | |
| Experience with EAD Repair Though EAD makes fine products,their customer support,service and turnaround probably rates among the worst.Right up there with Sony,who has to the worst. | |
| Krell Home Theater Standard The HTS is now replaced with the new HTS which has analog bypass.The AV Standard is the flagship and is now discontinued.As with all Krell pre/pros it has the annoying 2 second delay with cds,will not lock onto digital feed from satellite when you... | |
| Integra Pre/Pro? I find the Integra to be very "digital" sounding and it has a tuner which immediatly removes it as "serious"pre/pro due to degredation of audio quality because of it.The Lex is purely HT and it is excellent at it.The Sp1 though very nice sounding ... | |
| Best version of Aqualung on CD? Unfortunatly all the master of Jerthro Tull are terrible.If MOFI could not improve much on the masters noone can.The MOFIS and DCC are the best. | |
| Mobile Fidelity Recording I don't know which ones you have listened to but most od MOFIs disks are subtlely better to just awsome.Certainly the Pink Floyds are good example,Johm Mellecamp,Moody Blues are examples of far superior to their counterpart cds.Don Maclean,,Jethro... |
