| 15 amp vs 20 amp Waste of money. It would not change a single thing with your sound. At all. But worth the money if you're using a 32" subwoofer at reference levels. | |
| Seeking Advice to Improve My Audio System ($1000 Budget) I saw no mention in your post of room treatments and speaker placement. Don't do anything until you've done that properly. If you still don't like the sound after that, then those speakers aren't for you. A great room setup can fix a lot of your... | |
| Best Receiver for “Mid-Fi” System? You get a hi-fi experience using even a Denon X3800. Don't overthink this. | |
| Why the huge increase in the price of Sonus Farber Amanti G5 speakers. Price gouging. Even for things that aren't affected at all by tariff issues. But everyone wants to join the 'jack up the price tariff party'. Because profit margins. | |
| Darko nailed it. 12 examples of wishful thinking in the hi-fi community Kinda lame. But this one is objectively false. "This more affordable product competes with other products selling for 2x or 3x the price" I'm not talking about comparing some speaker you bought at Walmart, but most $2000 speakers will normally s... | |

Anyone can make really cheap but really good looking panels. OC 703 is good to use in those. Ideally, you want the panels installed so the absorption parts are an inch or two off the wall. This ... | |
| Looking for new speaker cables The only thing worse for this hobby than a quote like this (and I don't blame the OP for being fed this can of lies)... "They have all the detail, air, and speed I need. If anything, they might lack a bit of body... Not to the point of being thic... | |
| Integrated all in one for a second system Just get a cheap AVR like a Denon DRA-900. Will sound just as good as anything else and has everything you need. | |
| Need help choosing speakers for Outlaw Audio receiver Your AVR, processor, amp, etc., should have absolutely nothing to do with your speaker choices outside of power requirements. And asking for speaker recommendations is a fool's game - everyone has their own preferences, and it's usually what they'... | |
| Does other Audiogon members' opinion carry any weight for you ? Not if they claim that new power cords and expensive speaker cables change sound. | |
