| Speaker cables for paradigm studios Bi-wiring seems to be a bit of a controversial way to go. Seems like most people, and even some manufacturers, recommend either doing a double wire shotgun approach or single wire with good jumpers. Some people report benefits going one of these... | |
| In wall speakers Thanks for all the good thoughts guys. I hadn't really heard of Episode speakers before, probably because they're sold exclusively through installers. I was surprised to find consistently good reviews of them from a wide variety of sources, and ... | |
| I'm ready to pull the trigger on some new speakers.looking for some last minute advice With a relatively low powered amp you should take care to look at the sensitivity and impedance specs on the speakers you're considering. Some of the speakers on your list are known to need some power to get the best out of them. There is a nice... | |
| 8-16 ohm budget speakers Agree with the soliloquys if you can find them. The Silverline Minuets are also worth a very hard look and can be had in your price range used. | |
| Monitor Audio Congrats on the speakers. What are the differences you hear between the PL500s and the Sashas? Looking forward to your review. | |
| Help! Best amp for Rockport Aviors? Agree with having the dealer come earn his profit and help with setup assuming they are a Rockport dealer and know what they're doing. If I were you I'd call Andy Payor and get his take on it. I've spoken with him and he's a really nice guy, and... | |
| Magico S1 Mk II - The First Review I just looked at the blogger's other "review" of some Focal speakers. His ONLY other "review." In this one he whole-heartedly recommends the Magico speakers, that he wasn't overly impressed with, over the Focals. Huh. The fun thing is that it'... | |
| Magico S1 Mk II - The First Review I would not call this a review. It’s a useless piece of crap with its only virtue being that it’s the first assessment of the speakers. It’s a blog, not a review. The blogger is in an unfamiliar room with equipment he’s likewise unfamiliar with, a... | |
| speaker coupling question I have a similar situation and I use hockey pucks to help level the speakers. | |
| I'm happy but I want more, more, more Agree with Raul, give us more info in what specifically you're looking to improve upon. "More" is not enough to go on to get targeted and more helpful recommendations. | |
| Silverline Speakers Minuet Supreme Plus - Sonatina MKIV I had a similar experience. I got to hear B&Ws next to Silverline and Joseph Audio speakers and it was just no contest. It's not that the B&Ws sound bad, it's just that the others, to my ears, we're just so much better in almost every wa... | |
| Novice requesting preamp options There’s a Berkeley Alpha DAC for sale here now a little over your price range. Very highly regarded DAC and reportedly good as a preamp as well. Might be worth a look as it solves two of your issues. Best of luck. | |
| Great bookshelf or small towers suggestions Two brands that sell directly and get good reviews are Aperion and SVS. I especially like that their better center speakers are designed with the tweeter above a dedicated midrange rather than the more common MTM configuration. Both companies ge... | |
| Whats a good all around digital cable for under $250. I only need half a meter. I haven't heard the Acoustic Zen MC2, but I've had AZ interconnects and cables for over a decade and they do extremely well with the highs. Since there is a "house sound" to AZ cables I'd think the MC2 would follow suit. To be more specific, I'm... | |
| Need feedback on loudspeakers You are one lucky SOB. There is a pair of Joseph Audio Perspectives for sale here now in your price range that rarely come up used. They do everything you're looking for. Hurry. They won't last long, and you can sell them at no loss if you're ... |
