| Center channel - Need help Not really a B&W fan, but I have to say one of the better centers I've heard was the Matrix HTM (the one with the single midrange driver). It was very clear and coherent with none of the combing effects found in some dual mid configurations, s... | |
| Sturdy earbuds under $100 First off, I can't believe anyone listens to those Apple earbuds at all. They're horrible sounding and physically hurt my ears when they're in. Just awful.Anyway, I've got Sennheiser CX500Bs that are MUCH better and more comfortable than the Apple... | |
| which turntable to buy for $1500 best value ? I don't mean to hijack this post, but I've been very interested in the Well Tempered tables and wondering what the real, tangible sonic differences are between the Simplex and Amadeus. Also any thoughts of the Well Tempered tables vs. Regas would ... | |
| Preamp Noob has a question I tend to agree with Orpheus -- if you like integrateds why not just upgrade to a better one? I know you're trying to improve your sound on the cheap, but while you may get some benefit from this you may end up not liking this preamp when you upgr... | |
| Biwire oval 9's, single Zen Satori - surprised Drubin makes a good point, and I agree with Kijanki's assessment as well. If you haven't already done so, maybe try hooking up one leg of the Oval 9s (being careful not to let any of the unused terminals touch each other of course), which may give... | |
| 2 channel priority in HT Processor...who's is best Seems like you're gonna pay a lot to equal or better the Pass preamp for 2-channel duties with an HT processor. Maybe I'm missing something, but why not just route the front L/R pre outs from the Sunfire processor to another input on the Pass (or ... | |
| Choices for speaker 2' from back wall I haven't heard them, but the Von Schweikert VR33s are made to be positioned close the the back wall and seem to have very positive reviews. They are only available factory-direct from VS to save cost, and they are just a little over your target p... | |
| New Speakers for $2000 Revel F50 was first thing that came to mind, and they're available here in your price range. Not sure if your room is big enough for them or if the Cambridge would be a good match, but probably possesses most if not all the qualities you're lookin... | |
| Speaker cable recommendations please I've been using the Acoustic Zen Satori shotgun for a long time and after comparing to others I think they exhibit a lot of the qualities you're looking for. Best of luck. | |
| McCormack .5 with Vandersteen 2CI You should have your co-worker stretch a bit and wait for a 0.5 Rev. A to come available. It'll probably only be another $200 or so more expensive and is at a completely different level than the stock or deluxe version, and the Vandys will certain... | |
| Used Magico V3 or Rockport Mira 2 Goodwins does it right. If you're upfront with them that you probably will buy used or even not at all I wouldn't be surprised if they were happy to accomodate you as long as it's not during a particularly busy time. That way you get to listen but... | |
| NOLA Boxers in my space Okay, I'm gonna be the bad guy here. "For years, it's been my blasphemous contention that speakers are going to be right as long as everything upstream is right. So I'd rather have an excellent front end and okay speakers, than great speakers hitc... | |
| Dedicated listening room design Hi Kevin. Sorry I haven't posted back, but I've had the french drains installed, and the heat pipes replaced/moved so now I'm having the permanent generator insatalled which involves running elecrical and gas lines before putting up walls.I got To... | |
| Yes,another DAC question I think a dedicated CD player, especially an expensive one, could be a big mistake. Music sourced from computers/hard drives driven through the better software and lastest DACs already seems to be matching and even bettering what some of the best ... | |
| Turntable under $1500 ..... Rega, clearaudio, or ? There's a Well Tempered Classic with a MC cartridge for sale here now that's close to your price range. Best of luck. |
