| What is under $5k speaker with best bass slam? You should just go ahead any buy that used pair of Piega P-10s on the Gon. I love mine and they have the most articulate and satisfying bass of any speakers I have owned to date.Shakey | |
| Tube amps vs solid state for large speakers I would recommend that pair of Canary Audio CA-160 monos that are on the Gon right now. I bought a pair of these to drive my power hungry Piegas and they are more than up to the task. And sound great too!Shakey | |
| Tube vs Tran For Bob Reynolds.You do NOT, nor should you connect a subwoofer in the manner you prescribed. The best method is connecting it directly from the speaker outputs of an amp. This is beneficial in two ways, the most of which is not loading down the p... | |
| K&K any comments? I have owned my K&K with Lundahl trannies since 2003 and I love it to this day. Shakey | |
| Von Schweikert VR4SR vs VR5SE You really decided to take several steps backwards by going with the Jrs. I am guessing you paid around 2500.00 for a used pair and in my opinion, there are far better speakers in that price range. But if you are happy, that's all that matters.Shakey | |

| NHT Classic Three vs. GMA Europa vs. Epos M12 tough roundup I guess...?I think everyone is hoping that you will just go ahead and buy something.....anything.....Shakey | |

| GMT Europa vs. Quad 12 L2 vs. Totem Rainmaker >I think this will make a great combo HT system.<"This" meaning what?......Shakey | |
| Best new loudspeaker Audiophile1958,You mean to say 2 midrange drivers(different drivers at that), a tweeter, and a sub bass driver all have ONE crossover point?Shakey | |
