| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw Glad it's half price. I was very disappointed in the SQ of their Neko Case "Live @ Austin City Limits". Living in Austin, I was saddened by poor play from the home team! Can't wait to get back to a show there soon sometime. | |

| Vintage Krell Amplifiers from the 80’s & 90’s. I own older Soundlabs that are TOUGH to drive. When I bought them I had a pair of pricey Lamm hybrid monoblocks. A friend was about to buy Soundlabs because he loved mine, so he trotted over one day with a KSA250 that he could purchase to drive th... | |
| ProAc Response 2: CJ CAV45, Cary SEI 300B, or Cary Rocket 88? @leahy I've owned a Rocket88 and think eliminating it from your list is a good idea. With Quad USA63s it lacked the transparency and natural timber that you'll get from the others you're considering. Though tough to find, one other you might con... | |

Joining a local audio group and listening to many systems in real homes is among the best thing mentioned, if that's an option for you.

| Speakers for a Large Room (20’x37’) @doni The Tannoys I've heard & liked are the Turnberry & Kensington, but they also have other models specifically designed for large rooms. Maybe someone who has compared those can comment. Cheers, Spencer | |
| Speakers for a Large Room (20’x37’) @doni Are you planning on using the Pass 30.8 amp or changing to whatever you decide is a good match for the speakers? Many of the speakers mentioned would benefit from more power; some prefer SS or tubes. As to personal opinions: I prefer the ... | |
| Desk top speakers at low cost Check out Edifier. They have a number of models, many w/subwoofer under $500, or without sub under $200. Surprisingly good, and you can even order at Home Depot and use their occasional coupons. Cheers, Spencer | |
