| Big, big room -- which 10-20k speakers? All this talk about what speaker will fill what room, with not much mention about how it's going to sound in the end. You should allot 1/3 of your speaker budget towards room treatment. You are going to need a lot of it.Shakey | |
| Top rated passive preamps I am a big fan of the transformer/autoformer variety of preamps. I currently own a Sonic Euphoria PLC which has bested a lot of active preamps up to ~6K in my system. The PLC also beat out a Bent Audio TAP to my ears.Shakey | |

| Well Tempered SIMPLEX or Rega RP6 Can't you add the cueing device to the Simplex?I agree about the speed changes. A pushbutton would be nice on the Amadeus.Shakey | |
| Well Tempered SIMPLEX or Rega RP6 I think you answered your own question. Knowing how good the Amadeus sounds should resolve the issue, IMHO. I have owned and heard Regas and I can't imagine that the RP6 could match the magic of a WT design. Disclaimer: Rabid Amadeus owner.Shakey | |
| zu audio Help I wouldn't think Rotel gear would be a good match with them. This is probably your culprit.Shakey | |
| so many speakers In other words, my Polks could end up in the same group as the Wilson Maxx. :)So, of ALL the speakers on the market, we could end up with just a few different groups. Some people think, believe it or not, that speakers are the ONLY component that ... | |

| Any Mark Knopfler Fans Out There? I have been a fan for years. But honestly, his last few releases have been snoozers. Any reason to think this isn't more of the same?Shakey |
