| Need some recs/help/thoughts on speakers for a 2nd system I also think Monitor Audio is a good suggestion. I'll throw in the Silverline Prelude Plus and the Usher N-6361 as a couple other high value options in your price range. Best of luck. | |
| Will the Usher 6371 stand the test of time ? I am of the opinion that Usher speakers are some of the highest bang for the buck on the market and are sorely under appreciated here in the US. I’ve only heard them at shows, but every time I’ve heard them they were one of the top 3 IMHO. I don’t... | |
| Recommend a Cable/Interconnect Set Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in. | |
| Monitor speakers with great dynamics ... experience need it What's your budget and associated gear? | |
| Recommend a Cable/Interconnect Set Leave the gun. Take the cannolis. | |
| Recommend a Cable/Interconnect Set Is there another kind? | |
| Recommend a Cable/Interconnect Set Yeah, my last name ends in a vowel but it's an Irish vowel. My wife's maiden name, however, does end in a vowel and she makes a mean gravy. I'm sure you know what I mean by "gravy." Anyway, screw it. Let's go old school and just call me at 201... | |
| Recommend a Cable/Interconnect Set I'm a couple towns north of Tenafly. If you PM me (not sure how that works BTW) so we don't keep bothering these fine folks with Jersey crap I can make you an offer you can't refuse. | |
| What next? Yeah I figured with your speakers you were driving them with better electronics, but I had to ask. Are you using any subs? Unless you're unhappy with your current center speaker I'd seriously consider adding a couple good subwoofers first if you... | |
| What next? Are you using only the Marantz to drive your speakers? If so this is a no brainier. Your speakers at the very least deserve a separate power amp and high quality prepro. Is this system 100% home theater or is stereo and/or surround music import... | |
| Recommend a Cable/Interconnect Set Exit 2 off the Palisades near Alpine. Love Cape May. Guessing your taxes got cut in half or more? Don't even tell me. I don't wanna know. If you want to drive your butt up here to Bergen I've got a bunch of AZ and other cables and interconnec... | |
| Recommend a Cable/Interconnect Set Yo. Another Joysey boy here. Agree with Inna that spending $600 likely won't help you much and may even hurt. I've had lots of cables and interconnects over the years, but the ones I've stuck with are Acoustic Zens. Are they the best out there... | |
| Speaker - Room/size dilemma There's a pair of Joseph Audio Prisms for sale here now in your price range that would be worth a look. A lot of the Pulsar's performance for half the price. | |
| Recommendation for Improvement over McCormack DNA-225 There's a DNA 500 for sale here now for just under three grand. Might be worth asking Steve what he thinks of the 500 versus a modded 225 given your speakers and priorities. Best of luck. | |
| Speaker - Room/size dilemma 1-2 feet from the back wall and near the corners is a tough ask of most audiophile speakers. I'd skew toward speakers made to be placed in or near corners and near or against the wall. Two that come to mind are Sjofn (the clue) and Von Schweiker... |
