| Which is Better? Musical Fidelty A5 (used) or new Rogue Sphinx? I can't see the A5 as a good choice. I used to have one.

| Suggestions for a passive line-level high-pass crossover? " The lucky owners of Vandersteen 7’s, for one. That speaker comes with a powered (via a solid state amp) subwoofer, and many 7 owners use a tube power amp for the upper drivers. People have done that successfully for decades, with speakers lik... | |
| Krell HTS 7.1 vs Denon AVR-X4300H " HTS 7.1 was an 8000 preamp, so I assumed the sound would be better than anything else that I would get for 1000$. "I would definitely not assume that. I recommended a 2 channel preamp just for this reason." I can certainly spend more, but not ... | |
| Luxman Taking a Different Direction Cable Company has been a Luxman dealer for a while now. They're extremely honest and reputable. I would call them with any questions. If Luxman was sold, there's a chance Cable Company bought them. Its one of their biggest brands. | |
