| My Home Theatre Room Challenges - Is It Worth It To Upgrade Speakers I would love to make a big and impactful improvement in sound quality in this room. I am currently considering replacing my two front main speakers (Paradigm Bookshelf 2-way speakers with 6" drivers) with full-sized speakers. For this, I’d simp... | |
| Need help! First step into high end audio Do NOT do an overpriced B&W 600 system with only left/right/center. That’s silly. Here’s a complete 5.1 system — including receiver — that’ll wow you for about $3100. Free shipping and a 45-day in-home trial with free shipping back on the spea... | |
| Spikes on tower speakers I’d go with the granite/marble but I’d also use the Hush Puppies or your speakers could easily slide off the stone if someone bumps into them. Or, you could just try the Hush Puppies alone first and see how that works — you can always add the gra... | |
| Improving the Musicality of a Home Theather +1 @thespeakerdude Buy the best LG OLED TV you can afford and you’ll be thrilled. It also does high dynamic range (HDR) and when it’s available in the program material the picture totally pops — assuming you have the picture settings set right. ... | |
| Spikes on tower speakers +1 @toro3 Pick up a couple slabs of granite or marble from Home Depot and put the Herbie’s Puckies on top. But, if you can afford them, Townshend Seismic products would be all you need and likely greatly improve your sound — read the reviews… ht... | |
| Don’t buy used McCormack DNA 1990s amps Soix, if we let you down with your DNA-225, I do apologize. I wish we could give it another shot. @stevemcx You guys recently upgraded my DNA 0.5 and did not let me down in any way whatsoever — not sure who the unhappy DNA 225 is but definitely... | |
| Looking for a low priced preamp (used) Reasonably priced means nothing. What is your budget? | |
| The Impossible Has Happened Any time a TAS review bothers to compare any review component to something else is indeed noteworthy. | |
| Analyzing DACs In the publication’s DAC published tests the reviewers almost always tested the DAC connected directly to the amplifier. I think I understand why—nothing in the chain influencing the DAC sound. Is that the correct assumption? No. It’s very sys... | |
| Upgrade from Rogue RP-7 @smatsui Wow. That’s saying a lot. Being more transparent along with having more meat on the bones than the LTA is quite an accomplishment. Thanks for your thoughts! | |
| Where to spend my money... What improvements are you looking for, and what preamp and cables/power conditioning do you have? | |

| Recommendation for Digital Coax I installed my Apogee cable backwards once and it was awful. Maybe it’s just because the cable was broken in one way, but I know it sounded like crap when installed backwards. Further, I’ve since upgraded to an Acoustic Zen MC2 digital cable and... | |
| HT Bypass from Parasound or NAD? So, to improve on my music listening I need a good stereo amp with HT bypass. No, you don’t need a stereo amp, you need a stereo integrated amp. Why? The preamp section of your AVR sucks, so just replacing the amp only gets you halfway there.... | |
| Thinking about a Steinway Lyngdorf system @audiotroy Is there any chance you sell the Arion Audio speakers? |
