Phono for dummies
I agree with Albert, test the waters with something that will not cause a large $$$ loss. I am doing that now with an under $400 (used) table. My biggest shock so far, how short an album is before you must flip! After over two weeks with vinyl I a... 
Rocky return to vinyl
I just have gone back into a little vinyl also. I picked up an old Linn Axis with Grado black cartridge.Some things I have found after about two weeks:1. poor recordings still sound poor...vinyl has no advantage over digital with these turds.2. Ne... 
speakers in a bad room
EldartfordSounds good to me! I think rock sounds best played over big PA systems to be honest so can understand your observation and agree that it would (could) sound more LIVE (real) in some cases. Dave 
speakers in a bad room
Concrete will not absorb low bass, bass notes will linger and build with-in the room in a cascading mix and become less than real sounding...bass should growl at you..not shout.Dave 
speakers in a bad room
17x23 would still be a nice room size, I would stud some walls and pack in as much insulation as I could at the very least. Large speakers with truly deep bass response will not sound good as is unless you like...BOOOOOM.Dave 
Need Inexpensive Crossover
EldartfordYep, I took a look myself a while back. Even a better rebate going on that one! Behringer looks like they are alone at their price points in the market...I agree with you, I don't know how they can offer so much for so little.P.S. Was ju...

Nice find Eldartford! It's a wonder you had the time, what with all the extra work Karls has handed you to read.Dave 
Need Inexpensive Crossover
The Paradigm X-30 used for around $100 is about as cheap as it gets...I have one. Not the best but well worth the money and will do what you want. For a little more the Outlaw ICBM used is even better. NHT also makes a low priced X-over.Dave 
Tossing out a question about some 'tables...
Hi GregI bought a used Linn Axis here at Audiogon a couple of weeks ago. I could not be more happy with this table as a starter table after many years away from vinyl.While I have not yet bought enough used vinyl to use it much, my opinion on what... 
I found a pair of mint Carver Amazings
Try a Krell Ksa-250 if you run across one at a good price, should be a great match and have plenty of control. I have one I use with my Apogee Duetta Signatures...a good tube pre-amp to top it off will be a great system.Dave

Low freq. from small drivers? Is it possible
Speakers with only one 6 inch bass driver (mid-range really) are not going to move enough air for output into any room larger than a small car trunk even at 35hz.Ported speakers only add SPL pretty much and are a poor choice for bass output IMO.If... 
Building a home theater.
I would also try to listen to the Vmps line of speakers for your use and needs. They are hi-bred type and are very good at both types of needs.Check the audiocircle forum for a dealer near you.Dave 
switches
It would depend, use is a good thing.Dave
