| Best recording / performance Dvorak Cello conc. Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. | |
| very small speakers suitable for wll mounting A friend of mine uses LS3/5 in exactly this application, and it is one of the few applications in which I think ls3/5s sound very good. In general I find them overpriced, but for wall mounting their small size and sealed cabinet produces a very cl... | |
| You might be an audiophile if... your living room is arranged around your speakers, and your speakers visually dominate the room, being several feet from any walls. | |
| very small speakers suitable for wll mounting LS 3/5 or any derivative thereof (spendor, harbeth).If you buy used you can later resell for little loss.Linn's Kans or Tukans are supposed to be very good but I've never heard them. | |
| Best recording / performance Dvorak Cello conc. Thanks all. I checked at arkivmusic.com and found that Rostropovich has had several recordings.The Giulini with the LPO (number 1) comes recommended.I don't own, nor do I intend to buy an SACD player, but thanks for mentioning it.1. Dvorák, Saint-... | |
| Which budget SS amps use least Global Feedback? Densen B-100, now only available used is a minimalist design with minimal feedback. It sounds great.Now I've said that I'd also say that I would never buy equipment based on design philosophy, but on how it sounds. Perhaps you'll prefer the sound ... | |
| How To Improve B&W N802 Bass Response? Disclaimer ... I've never heard any of your gear.So the reason I'm posting is that I have used a subwoofer with a couple of different speakers and may be able to help in that respect. For reference I use a REL strata, which is a sub that leaves th... | |

| How do I go backwards? Really sorry to hear of your situation. I'm not sure I can suggest much, but I did want to offer my condolences.For the cabling if you can make (or have a friend make) the DIY interconnects on Chris Venhaus' web site I would guess it will cost und... | |
| Help KEF 104/2 what amp do I need to drive them? Could you try it out? I have no personal experience with Krell, but unless someone here posts a response based directly on experience with the 300i driving 104/2s I would ask your friend if they mind you doing a quick home demo. | |
| Help KEF 104/2 what amp do I need to drive them? The Cyrus 2 would need a PSX to really sing with KEFs.In England a friend of mine ran Kef 103/4 with a Cyrus 2 / PSX and he could blow the walls off in a large living room.But they're so rare it's probably a non-issue. | |
| Help KEF 104/2 what amp do I need to drive them? I think these speaker have low impedance at low frequencies, so they need a lot of current delivery ... that's probably where the yamaha falls over.At $500 it's tricky to find good current delivery, but NAD and rotel would be the first names that ... | |
| Speaker compairson? Try to get a home demo of a good subwoofer (or pair thereof). The sub-monitor combo can sound very very good. | |
| Would you buy speakers with out first listening ? Yes I would, and I have. I bought my Green Mountain Europas on the back of recommendations from former owners of Spica speakers, which I used to own.I would never buy based on magazine review, but I think a review from someone who can reference ve... | |
