| I am interested in upgrading my late 80's system? I would start with a nice little tube integrated amp...and a new source (if you need one?...you didn't mention vinyl or cd as your source).You should be able to add these two new upgrades for around $1,000-$1,200 (used)...50-75watts are all you ne... | |
| I am interested in upgrading my late 80's system? I had a pair of those speakers, I used them with a Luxman receiver for power....years ago! I did like them.How much do you plan to invest in this "upgrade"?....It's pretty useless to give advice, with no budget in the picture.Dave | |

| Anyone hear Oritek Audio's new preamp/DAC? Would be nice to compare it to the Monarchy DAC/preamp...they are around the same price range, (the Monarchy can be bought new on Audiogon for around $1,050 I think).Dave | |
| PICK ONE... ONKYO 805 or MARANTZ 8001 Both are great buys. Anyone who bought these even a few months back (at much higher price), is going to take a bath in $$$ loss when they sell. Two used Marantz 8001's were listed the last time I looked, both...asking well above what you can now b... | |
| Apogee Centaur Major or Magnepan MG-20/20.1 ? My bet would be on the big dipole Maggies...but then, I like planer dipole bass, better than conventional cone monopole bass.However, as an Apogee speaker owner (I've owned 3 pair, and still own two)...my understanding from talking to other Apogee... | |
| PICK ONE... ONKYO 805 or MARANTZ 8001 I saw the Onkyo 805 at J&R Music World on sale at $799...no tax, and free shipping.The system I setup a few months back, (mentioned above)...had Onkyo 805, Oppo digital sacd/dvd audio/video player, Sanyo projector, NHT Classic 3's and 2's for ... | |
| PICK ONE... ONKYO 805 or MARANTZ 8001 Between those two (and for your intended use), I'd go with the Onkyo. That said, I would step it up one level in the Onkyo line, and get the Onkyo TX-SR875. The SR875 has even higher video quality than the Onkyo 805.I did setup a system for someon... | |
| Are modern speakers better than old speakers? If you like how the speakers sound, nothing else matters. My system is composed of many older components, each picked by me, and for me. Modern speaker designs, do have the edge over older speaker designs, and for many reasons. However, exactly wh... | |

| Give the new Kid Rock a shot. Winoguy17 said:"white trash ,no talent dirt bag"I don't think he fits there, although "no talent" may fit?...However, IMO he does have talent.I read on Google today that he is putting on Christmas concerts for the troops in Germany, Iraq, and Afgh... | |
| Give the new Kid Rock a shot. I'll check it out, thanks Harris. I only have one Kid Rock cd, it's kind of a rappy/rock type album, that I can't recall the name of right now...it does kick butt though, for that type of music.This guy (Kid Rock) has so much talent, that I think ... | |

| Have you found audio nirvana? Oh ya, for some years now. That said, I still enjoy playing around with my room and components every now and then...it's always been part of the hobby for me.Dave |
