| Home Theater Speakers exclusively I love Vandys too, but not sure how they’d play in off-axis seating for HT. I’d consider the KEF Q750 or Q950 as they have the coaxial Uni-Q drivers that I think are supposed to have good dispersion characteristics that would be beneficial in a H... | |

| AFFORDABLE (under $1K) Best SS and Tube Amps for HD600 He actually didn’t say it was better — in the end he said it was “six of one and half dozen of another” but that the Vali 2 was $100 cheaper. That’s no longer true as the CTH now goes for only $25 more. It offers more power than the Vali 2, but ... | |
| Speakers for Yamaha AS2100 Given what you’re looking for, used ProAc Response D2 or Tablette Signature or Anniversary would be great choices. For less $ used Nola Boxer would also sound great with your amp. If you’re looking new the Silverline Minuet Grand is quite a spea... | |

| AFFORDABLE (under $1K) Best SS and Tube Amps for HD600 The Cavalli CTH tube hybrid amp from Massdrop gets very nice reviews from Sennheiser owners who say there’s great synergy. At only $175 it sounds like quite a bargain, and I’m strongly considering it for my Hifiman HE400S. | |

| Good sounding wired earbuds - affordable? What HiFi? reviews suck and are near useless IMHO. The 1More Triple Driver IEMs can be had for $80 on Amazon and get very good (and more reputable) reviews, and I’d expect them to be a big step up from the Apple or Klipsch buds. You’ll probably ne... | |

Make my Oppo UDP-205 a true top player If you get the ability to stream a near unlimited world of new music in hi res while just sitting in your chair for 15 bucks/month, I’d say that pretty much kicks the crap out of having to get up to change and listen to the same discs over and ove... |
