| Marantz receiver questions Same problem with both A and B speakers. | |
| Marantz receiver questions Pardon my ignorance, but do standard banana plugs fit with all equipment? 25 year old Paradigm speakers, 20 year old Marantz receiver--they'll plug right in to this equipment? | |
| Marantz receiver questions Btw, last line in original post is wrong. It's a PM7001 that I'm thinking of replacing with a PM8006. | |
| Marantz receiver questions I've just got the speaker wire screwed on. Would banana plugs solve the problem? | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados I'm chiming in with a few of my favourite recordings:Mahler Orchesterlieder, Montreal/Nagano/GerhaherMahler 5, Berlin/RattleMahler 9, Berlin/AbbadoShostakovich 5, Berlin/BychkovBeethoven Piano Trios--du Pré/Barenboim/ZukermanSchubert Die Schöne Mü... | |

| Itching for better sound Was that plywood/sledge for the famous "hammer blows" in Mahler 6? I'll be attending Mahler 2020 festival at the Concertgebouw in May--NY, Berlin, Vienna Phil among others. That should whip even the finest audiophile equipment, and it's why I ca... | |
| Itching for better sound Thanks for the suggestion. I will look into that. What do figure would be the best way to connect these to the Marantz CD6006? Optical? The cable's going to be about 40ft.Do others agree that this is going to get me better sound than the setup... | |
| Itching for better sound Another option I have is to get powered speakers and to connect them through optical direct to Marantz CD player. Any suggestions on the desirability of this and appropriate speakers that would trump the PSBs running through that Denon? | |
| Itching for better sound I think they're Alpha B1s. | |
| Itching for better sound Thank you. Just took a look at those Klipsch Heresys. They look gorgeous, but the "made to rock" slogan on the website gave me pause. I'd love to know whether people think some speakers are better for classical music than others. I don't want ... |
