| Best thread poster for 2001? I thought the guy who demo'd all those expensive and super-expensive (ie Valhalla) cables and then wrote lengthy, detailed comments on his impressions did a GREAT job, very informative. Was that Jtinn or someone else? | |
| Monitor speakers - choices to narrowed down to... Sticking to the B&W theme, I owned the Matrix 805's (predecessor to the Nautilus recommended above) for years without a sub and never noticed the lack of bass. They are often for sale used here for around $800. They are simply fabulous monitor... | |
| Any audio gifts for Christmas? I bought myself some interconnects for an "extra" system in the guest room, plus a power cord for a backup CD player. All very cheap! Then family and a friend gave me a big gift certificate for Borders, a bigger one for Amazon, and the remastered ... | |
| What recomendation would you give me ........ I currently use a 3 meter Ensemble Dynaflux, and I used to use a Transparent Ultra XL between my LS-15 and VT100 Mk III. Both sound great, the Transparent is usually available used for a good price. | |

| would it be a huge mistake? I own Genesis 500's and have had them for 5+ years, I would highly recommend them and other Genesis products despite the company's going out of business. They are great products. I guess if a driver goes bad, you'll have to do some research to get... | |
| Power amp recommendation for Vienna Mahler Hi, I listened extensively to the Mahlers w/solid state, ie, Goldmund Mimesis 29 and Levinson monoblocks, and they sounded fabulous. Side firing bass woofers require control, I don't think the small ARC will do it. The Jeff Rowland is probably a b... | |
| wanna know my right Yes, you only have the right to rescind the deal and get your money back. You can't force them to upgrade the unit for the same price! | |
| Skinny speakers and wretched excess Couldn't you buy a dedicated well-designed center channel and place it either on a shelf in the stand, right below your screen, or on its own stand below the screen, if your screen is on the wall and not on a rack? That seems to me to be the bette... | |
| Best Packaging in the Business Ayre Acoustics beyond a doubt. Both my amp and preamp were so well-sealed even UPS couldn't hurt 'em. | |
| B&WCDM9NT vs. Vienna Acoustic Beethoven My dealer shows the Plinius 8200 integrated w/the Beethovens: Beautiful music! I owned the Beethovens for a year (w/Ayre amp and preamp) and thought it one of the most musical, versatile combos I have ever heard. I love the Beethovens, and was sor... | |
| Fedex Weekly Damage Report Hi, re: the question about how FedEx handles claims, I have had good experience w/that aspect of their service. One claim of damage was settled for cost of repair plus cash for replacement, this buyer really made out, but the speakers I sold him w... | |
| Need interconnect suggestions for Meridian 508.24 If you're considering Cardas, you've got to try Ensemble cables, either the Masterflux or the Dynaflux. They are less expensive than top Cardas and often available used on this site for great prices. Many people have left Cardas Golden for Ensembl... | |
| Best Cheap, Small, High Sensitivity Speakers When I posted a similar inquiry last month, I got some excellent recommendations. In addition to the speakers people have already listed above, I also had recommendations for Proac Tablettes, Krix Equinox, Silverline small monitors (they make seve... | |
