| Recommend a Cable/Interconnect Set I'm a couple towns north of Tenafly. If you PM me (not sure how that works BTW) so we don't keep bothering these fine folks with Jersey crap I can make you an offer you can't refuse. | |
| What next? Yeah I figured with your speakers you were driving them with better electronics, but I had to ask. Are you using any subs? Unless you're unhappy with your current center speaker I'd seriously consider adding a couple good subwoofers first if you... | |
| What next? Are you using only the Marantz to drive your speakers? If so this is a no brainier. Your speakers at the very least deserve a separate power amp and high quality prepro. Is this system 100% home theater or is stereo and/or surround music import... | |
| Recommend a Cable/Interconnect Set Exit 2 off the Palisades near Alpine. Love Cape May. Guessing your taxes got cut in half or more? Don't even tell me. I don't wanna know. If you want to drive your butt up here to Bergen I've got a bunch of AZ and other cables and interconnec... | |
| Recommend a Cable/Interconnect Set Yo. Another Joysey boy here. Agree with Inna that spending $600 likely won't help you much and may even hurt. I've had lots of cables and interconnects over the years, but the ones I've stuck with are Acoustic Zens. Are they the best out there... | |
| Speaker - Room/size dilemma There's a pair of Joseph Audio Prisms for sale here now in your price range that would be worth a look. A lot of the Pulsar's performance for half the price. | |
| Recommendation for Improvement over McCormack DNA-225 There's a DNA 500 for sale here now for just under three grand. Might be worth asking Steve what he thinks of the 500 versus a modded 225 given your speakers and priorities. Best of luck. | |
| Speaker - Room/size dilemma 1-2 feet from the back wall and near the corners is a tough ask of most audiophile speakers. I'd skew toward speakers made to be placed in or near corners and near or against the wall. Two that come to mind are Sjofn (the clue) and Von Schweiker... | |
| Need Small Bookshelf Speakers With a Big Sound Just curious if Holm had the Joseph Audio Prisms there? I know they're a bit above your price range, but they may be worth a listen just for reference if nothing else. Be interested in your thoughts if you ever get to hear them. Also, if they h... | |
| Problems with Audio Engine Support Recently bought a B2 for my brother and it's really very good. But I had a question and when I called the message said they no longer support phone calls. I got a fairly quick response from the email I sent, but when you're doing business primar... | |
| Best Interconnects from DAC to Integrated-under 300 used What are you using now and what are you looking to improve upon with the new interconnect? Best bang for the buck doesn't really give us anything to go on. | |
| Looking for my first tube amplifier, help appreciated. If you're going to upgrade your whole system you should start with the speakers as they will largely dictate what your amp choices are. | |
| Speakers with warm treble and good bass I'm very surprised at your impression of the Vandys. I'd seriously question the setup and associated equipment if it was at a dealer. Not what I associatiate with the Vandy 2s at all, although I'm sure you heard what you heard. I'd give them an... | |
| Speakers with warm treble and good bass Would’ve thought the Vandys would check all your boxes. What didn’t you like about them? Others to check out would be Silverline Prelude and Nola Boxer or a used pair of Joseph Audio RM7s if you can find them (my personal pick of the bunch FWIW). ... | |
| Need Suggestions for speakers up to $15K new/used Although I agree with others that show conditions have tons of variables, the fact that you couldn't get the sound of the Raidhos out of your head I think carries a lot of weight. That said, in your price range there are lots of other great optio... |
