| Sturdy sub - $50 in-ear headphones? NuForce has been introducing some cheaper models that might be worth a look. | |
| VPI Classic vs. Well Tempered Amadeus I'm very interested in this comparison as well, although I find myself wondering how the WTA would stack up against the Classic 3.Anyone ever compare the WTA to the Simplex or know someone who has? | |
| best in-ceiling speakers I seriously doubt the THX Ultra-2 rating means anything after you reach a certain level. I mean, the Thiels or Revels are going to sound great -- does it really matter if they've gone to the added expense of getting some rating attached to them (w... | |
| best bang for buck on used ht speakers? maybe b&w? Depending on what level you're looking to go to I think the 800 series could be overkill. Here's why. Your CDM1s are probably fine for home theater use, and in my humble opinion the center channel and sub are the most important speakers to get rig... | |
| Analytical or Musical Which way to go? There are speakers that measure well and are musical. I don't think they're mutually exclusive ideals, I just think there aren't many designers who have both the ear and technical expertise to successfully accomplish both. | |
| Joseph Audio Pulsars FYI, just got the latest Stereophile yesterday in which Fremer reviewed the Pulsars. Very positive review. Makes me want to hear them even more. | |
| Great Monitors Joseph Audio Pulsar ? Curriemt11 -- just curious what subs you found work well with the Pulsars, and what are the main differences and/or benefits have you found in moving up to the Perspectives versus the Pulsars with good subs? | |
| 5.1 small speaker recommendations So how do you like them? What sizes did you get and how does the center speaker do especially with things like deep male voices? I've been considering these too but concerned the center channel won't have enough, well, balls. Thanks for any thoughts. | |
| Good speakers under 10K. I'd second the Vandy recommendation and off the top of my head add Rockport, Nola, DeVore, and Joseph Audio as some other brands worth exploring. Best of luck. | |
| McCormack DNA 0.5 vs. Parasound HCA 2003 Steve brought up a good point. Also, anyone know if the Totem Tabu's are a harder or easier load than the Vandys? If they're comparable that would also seem to call into question that this could be a power issue. | |
| In-celing and in-wall speaker choice Haven't heard them, but looks like Paradigm also offers a good selection of inwalls with some cheaper options than PSB, etc. Might be worth a look since I'd guess they're in a similar performance range. Someone told me there were some deals on Rev... | |
| McCormack DNA 0.5 vs. Parasound HCA 2003 This sounds very strange to me, especially since in my experience the 3A Sigs are not bright sounding speakers at all. What are you using for a front end and cables/interconnects? I'm almost wondering if there's something wrong with one of the com... | |
| Primare Pre-30, Bryston Bp-25, Plinius CD LAD I've got a Bryston BP-6 (probably sounds more alike than different to the BP-25) and love it for its neutrality and crystal clear view of the soundstage. I'm guessing it will sound very different from your tube pre, so maybe something a little mor... | |
| Choices, turntable purchase choices? I haven't heard it, but the Well Tempered Simplex sure looks interesting. I think The Audio Beat did a review of it not too long ago. Best of luck. | |
| need 2 channel amp A used McCormack DNA 0.5 with Steve's A revisions should be in that price range. Lots of detail and transparency with good musicality relative to other solid state amps. Best of luck. |
