| New Speakers ... Can't Stop "Listening" +1 @seahheis1. Two great designers and two great speakers using top components. Interesting that they come to about the same price point indicating -- despite what others might think -- neither is overcharging given they both sell through dealer... | |
| Which do you prefer parasound Halo a21 or McCormack dna1 There’s a DNA 1 with Steve’s Rev A Gold+ level revisions on EBay for $1749. I haven’t heard the A21, but the DNA amps with these revisions set a high bar and are an incredible value used. Best of luck. | |
| Best tube preamp for Quicksilver V4 tube mono's (newest KT150 version) "Best performing" and "bang for the buck" are all completely dependent on what type of sound and characteristics you're looking for. Without this info you're just getting random opinions of what other people like, which may or may not mesh with w... | |
| New Speakers ... Can't Stop "Listening" I don't think there's anything that special about JA cabinets or drivers, so to me the special sauce that makes their speakers sound so good and different from others (at least to me) is mainly the crossover. So unless you can reproduce the infin... | |
| New Speakers ... Can't Stop "Listening" Yeah congrats rlb61. Years ago I got to compare JA RM25 directly to B&W Nautilus 804 and 803 -- all original versions of speakers. There was nothing, and I mean NOTHING, either of the B&Ws did as well as the JAs (this was at a B&W de... | |

| Linear Tube Audio MZ2 Preamp - has anyone compared it to....... There are some Allnic L3000 mkii available here around the $5k price range sold originally about $12k. Read reviews on Audio Beat and Dagogo that compare it to other expensive preamps and both call it one of the best they’ve heard. Best of luck. | |
| Amp / Speaker combo ~5k Good stuff you have listed there. Are you buying new or are you open to used? Just perusing the listings here, there's a Hegel H160 and Reference 3A Grand Veenas you could get for $4850. Both look in good shape and would fetch over $12,000 new ... | |
| Preamp under $2,000 used There's a Pass Labs x2.5 that I'd think would be a significant improvement in your system and is under $1500. I'd put this in the "you just can't go wrong with this" category given your price range and goals. However, since you're also open to id... | |
| What Center Channel are you using in your Home Theater? So, is your center speaker now sitting flat on the floor? | |
| Tube amp for ATC SCM19s If you need or want to listen louder maybe do a tube pre with a ss amp. Very interesting to hear that the 19s can be driven by tubes. I wouldn’t have thought that so good to know. | |
| What Center Channel are you using in your Home Theater? Is the center speaker located on the floor angled upward so it points toward your head? | |
| I have been using the Cambridge 851 CD player for a few years and want more. There's a Metrum Hex DAC on EBay for $1699 -- great DAC. Just doing my part to help you stay within budget. Best of luck. | |
| Top ‘Mass Market’ Receivers ? The best combination of sound quality and reliability from what I've read between reviews and customer posts is Yamaha. |
