| Monitors for Pass Labs 60 INT What sound reproduction/speaker characteristics are most important to you? | |
| Integrated amps for Joseph Audio rm22si JA has shown with Hegel with good results, so maybe an H80 would be worth exploring. Same with the Bel Canto integrated. With your tastes it sounds like you may like tube gear as well if you're open to that, so integrateds from Primaluna and Cay... | |
| Integrated amps for Joseph Audio rm22si What amp are you currently using or what have you heard so far that you don’t like? JA speakers don’t have a rep for sounding bright or edgy, so would be helpful to hear what else is currently in your system in terms of source, pre, interconnects/... | |
| Transparent Preamplifier Why not leave CD player connected directly to your amp if you like the sound? Need more inputs? If so, a Bryston BP6 is just what you're looking for. Only other consideration is what interconnects you're using? | |

| Changed amps - center image moved This sounds a little too dramatic to just be attributable to changing amps. It sounds a lot like you have inverted polarity somewhere, which would do exactly what you’re describing to the imaging. I’d go back and check you have all your interconne... | |
| What receiver should I buy? Your speakers are highly efficient, so you really don't need to be concerned much with power output as almost any decent receiver can easily drive them. I assume you're not streaming music and such, but if you upgrade to a 4k HDTV at some point y... | |
| Concert Experience for $5k? Best ATC speakers you can afford with a pair of good subs. | |
| Considering Wilson or Sonus Faber floor standing over my Rockport monitors & Wisdom Sub If you really like what you’re hearing out of your Mira Monitors I’d hold out for a pair of used Miras. They do come up from time to time. The benefit is you’d preserve the sonic signature you already have but just add more scale, And I’d keep yo... | |
| Bryston vs Modwright? Given your speakers don’t present an overly hard load, have a tendency toward brightness in the treble, and your budget I’d consider a Clayton Audio S40 Class A amp. There's also a Plinius SA103 for sale in your price range if you feel you need m... | |
| Have a better suggestion for HT audio? Sorry for the confusion Erik. This is only for a modest secondary system in the family room that will be used primarily for HT and background music. My primary 2-channel system is in a dedicated listening room. But thank you for the Aventage su... | |
| Have a better suggestion for HT audio? After looking into it further, despite Onkyo offering some nice features and good sound quality I have some serious reservations about the brand. First, the TXNR646 I was looking at doesn’t appear to be able to handle 4Ohm loads, at least in the U... | |
| Newer amps like the Yamaha MX-2000? I've recently seen some very positive comments regarding the newer Yamaha integrateds that may be worth checking out. I think it was the A-S2100. Best of luck. | |
| Have a better suggestion for HT audio? Started looking at receivers. The comparably priced Marantz only puts out 50WPC, which probably won't cut it if I go with the Aperion speakers. However, the Onkyo TX-NR646 looks particularly interesting. Puts out 80WPC with 5 channels driven, a... | |
| Have a better suggestion for HT audio? Thanks Elevick. Exactly what I was thinking regarding the rears. Really like the Intimus 5c so I'm going to start looking into AVRs with a more robust power supply. Center will be on TV stand, and the 4t tweeter and upper mid woof will basicall... |
