looking for a stand mount speaker to match a s/s int amp. Good sounding and musical could mean many different things to many different people. More specifics would be helpful in making better recommendations for you. That said, Silverline Minuets are widely well regarded and in your price range, and they... | |
Next step up speakers in totem acoustic line from the totem forest? I also like the Forests but haven't heard their newer models. Might be a good opportunity to give a listen to some Reference 3A speakers of you haven't already. Best of luck. | |
Speaker recommendations What do you mean by not enough and appropriate? What are you looking to improve upon and what sound reproduction characteristics are most important to you? Tough to make good recommendations without some more info. | |
Request your two cents - BW804, Theil 2.x, or ... Your tube amp puts out 50W. To get good, deep bass you're going to need fairly efficient speakers, and both B&W and Thiel require some power and are not generally considered to be tube-friendly designs. Companies like Reference 3A, Silverlin... | |
What are the best on-wall speakers I heard the Joseph Audio on walls and they sounded fantastic. | |
Oh brother, am I in desperate need of help! 8) Sell the car. Uber baby. | |

Integrated recommendation help What aspects of sound reproduction are most important to you? What are you currently using or what other integrateds have you heard? | |
Upgrade path It seems like you're overall happy with the sound you're getting but just looking to augment the bottom end a bit. That seems to be common with your speakers and what the SC4a may have addressed. I doubt spending $4k on speakers, amp, or pre is ... | |
I hate when this happens ...... As others have alluded to above, you listened to the Martens on their home turf hooked up to a system designed specifically for them. That said, it does seem that the system may have uncovered that you may desire a little more detail than you're ... | |
Upgrade from Sonus Faber Venere 2.5 to ? I had the 2.5s in my system for a few weeks on demo. They are indeed very good speakers for the money and do many things well. But they of course have their limitations given their price, and I found them, not surprisingly, to be at the lowest l... | |
Performer-in-Room Quality with Speakers? What's your budget? | |
power amplifier suggestions with BelCanto Dac3 McCormack and Ayre would be two worth exploring. Best of luck. | |
ARC or Jeff Rowland pre-amp? It seems like you've balanced out more neutral speakers and source with warmer pre and amp and that it's working for you. Given that you like a good 3D stage with silky smooth highs, transparency, and good tonal texture and density, the first thi... |
