| Looking for a monitor with great midrange If used is an option, Joseph Audio RM7 or various Proac or Reference 3a monitors all excel at what you’re looking for. There’s also a pair of Silverline SR17s available here now below your price range you should seriously look at, or their Minuet ... | |
| "Best" mini-monitor? You definitely need to hear a pair of Joseph Audio Pulsars. Holm Audio used to carry JA but not sure if they do anymore. Best of luck. | |
| Devor - KEF - Vienna Acoustic – Wilson? I feel like we're kinda doing this backwards -- starting with four speakers and trying to see which ones you might like. As I'm reading through responses I'm getting bits and pieces about what you like, what's important to you, and you're actuall... | |
| which receiver new $1k or under +1 Auxinput. From user experiences I've read it seems Yamaha may have an edge in reliability. Not a small thing IMO. | |
| Magico S5 vs KEF Blade 2 vs TAD Evo One vs YG Kipod II Sig w/pwr bass @audiotroy The speakers I was referring to are the Nearfield Acoustics Pipedreams. Seller here has original price as $78k and selling for under $18k with two subs included, so somebody's going to get a deal (no association). Apparently they were... | |
| Magico S5 vs KEF Blade 2 vs TAD Evo One vs YG Kipod II Sig w/pwr bass I've heard most of what you're looking at, mainly at shows, and they were all impressive in their own way. However, a while back I heard a pair of Pipedreams and found them more impressive and memorable than any of these others. And there's a ni... | |

| center channel speakers - Martin Logan vs Definitive Technology? Hey forgot to ask, what are your main speakers and amps? Nice prepro -- too bad about the UI. Ugh. | |
| Sadly missed manufacturers Bose. We can dream can't we? | |

At this site the order of operations is generally:1) Audio/video quality2) Value3) Humor...256) CabinetryMy response was definitely aimed at #2 (but I was also feeling your pain with your size limits), so very sorry if I offended and d... | |
| System Upgrade Recommendations Im going to disagree a bit with your Maggie dealer, although technically speaking he may have a point. I highly doubt running the preamp outs from your Marantz to a high quality stereo preamp is going to degrade the sound meaningfully if at all, e... | |
| System Upgrade Recommendations Think your approach of a dedicated stereo amp/pre or integrated is an excellent one assuming your Marantz has preamp outs. I did that for years before I got a dedicated listening room. Best of both worlds and your Maggies will greatly reward you... | |
| Need a new amplifier. Need a good match for my Audio Research LS7 preamp Are you planning on upgrading speakers anytime in the near future? If so I’d do that first rather than trying to tame the sound with an amp that may be too warm sounding if you get better speakers later. That said, there’s a nice Classe CA300 for ... | |
| center channel speakers - Martin Logan vs Definitive Technology? Ditch the cabinet. | |
