| Sealed / Front-ported monitor recommendations ATC might be a good choice. Great speakers and I think their monitors are sealed. Best of luck. | |
| Bryston BP26 with Pass Labs Hey Zd, Bob said he had both in his system and didn't notice a difference. Um, pretty much says he listened to both. Have you had a Bryston preamp in your system to directly compare with a Pass pre? And then there's always the personal taste varia... | |
| Recommend a subwoofer? SVS subs are well regarded and relatively inexpensive. Best of luck. | |
| Center speaker - Dynaudio Contour vs ATC C3C Haven't heard either but just a couple thoughts fwiw...- center channel is largely about midrange and vocals in particular, and IME ATC is hard to beat in that range. - the Contour is pretty ugly IMHO, and I'd feel like an owl was constantly stari... | |
| Advice: used speakers $600 There's a pair of Silverline Preludes for sale here a little over your price range that have the sound characteristics you are seeking and are better looking than the Kefs and definitely the B&Ws -- Ick. Best of luck. | |
| Help with a secondary system I'd use what you have and look for a used pair of Silverline Minuets. Saw them at an audio show where the designer was using a low-fi CD player he bought at a garage sale and it sounded unbelievably good. Then go from there. Best of luck. | |
| Help with Preamp selection Would be helpful to know what aspects of sound reproduction are most important to you, what preamp you're replacing, and what you're looking to improve. You should shoot for a minimum of a ratio of 10:1 between the input impedance of your amp and ... | |
| Floor Stander with Small Footprint 7K - 15K If buying new, the Joseph Audio Perspectives, Vandersteen Quatro or Treo, and Reference 3A Grand Veenas would be at the top of my list. If used maybe Rockport Mira or something from Verity Audio. Best of luck. | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT You might not want to listen to the latest generation Thiels. They bear no resemblance visually or functionally to any prior Thiel speakers and are the product of a new designer. To me they look more like something Revel would put out. Not that th... | |
| Bel Canto dac 3.5VB vs 47 lab progression gemini Hindu??? | |
| Belles 350a or Mccormack DNA -1 Deluxe? If going McCormack I'd highly recommend holding out for one that already has one of Steve's A or gold revisions. When buying used the premium is not that much and you get a much superior amp. Best of luck. | |
| New Bookshelf speakers u love 3k to 6k Like the Ref. 3As too, but I'd go for a lightly used pair of Joseph Audio Pulsars. | |
| Universal player or DAC? You might consider buying an Oppo and having someone like Ric Schultz at Electonic Visionary Systems modify it for even better sound and video. Lots of positive comments. Best of luck. | |
| Aerial 7T vs. Marten Django L If you can go used at your price level I'd wait for a pair of Acoutic Zen Crescendos to come up for sale. Best of luck. | |
| Small 2 or 3 Way Floor Stander for under $3500. I've not heard your speakers, but I've always found Usher speakers to be pretty clear and transparent in the mids and highs. What cables and interconnects are you using?That said, a couple speakers in this price range I think highly of are Joseph ... |
