| best or craziest speakers' design.. Any of the Gallo Reference line. I have MKII. I heard MKIII the other day at the dealer. They sounded very similar. You can't go wrong either way. The tweeters will reveal anything bright in your system. The bass and soundstage will suprise you. b... | |
| How high to mount my TV monitor? Proper TV hight should be near eye level. When I design home theater cabinets or Home theater screens I usually start at 36" off the floor for bottom edge of screen. I'll make adjustments up or down a few inches from there if needed. The screen ov... | |
| Affordable center channel to match Sophia's? Wilson or nothing and run phantom mode. Anything else will be a dissapointment. Matching speakers, amps and cabling is the key to a seamless presentation which is the goal. If your Wilsons image well then you may actually like it better with out a... | |
| Subwoofer connection to older tube amp That is how the high level inputs on a car stereo amp work for head units with no pre-amp out. It should work ok then. The down side is that the signal is amplified by the D90, un-amplified and re-amplified by the sub amp. This is likley to produc... | |
| Suggestions on a pre-amp Pre-amp can make a huge impact. Bryston pre would be a good place to start since you have a matching amp. There are better pre-amps out there and it just depends on your budget. If you want to get into tubes this is a good place to insert them as ... | |
| Subwoofer connection to older tube amp Use the sub amp and save the power from your tube amp for speakers only. Your tube amp might not like the load if you hook up speaker wires to speakers and sub. You can run line level to the sub and then line level out of the sub to your amps. The... | |

| What is a descent amp to run cerwin vega e715 Your Cerwin Vega's are 102 db sensitive. This means you don't need much power to drive these. Double your power and you increase loudness by 3db. 1W=102db 2W=105db... 35-40 Watts would be plenty. If you are in the UK you might look at UK brands li... | |
| what is a better power amp ? Stick with the Pioneer for home theater. Your amps AND speakers should all match as close as possible for the best results. If you want to improve 2-channel then give us a budget and I am sure you will get more than a few budget amp suggestions. I... | |
| What surround speakers should I get? All speakers should be the same, even the center channel if possible. If you must go smaller then stay with the same manufacture and spend less on the rears. Three identical fronts will pay dividends. Stay away from sideways center speakers if pos... | |
| Best audio cabinet for people with pets Salamander has extruded metal corners that cats can't scratch like wood furniture legs. You can customize the racks too. Perf sides are great for hiding cables and still provide ventilation. Another way to train your cat is to strategically place ... | |
| Does this speaker exist or am I being ridiculous? Sure can. There is a pair of Green Mountain audio Imago's up.http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?spkrfull&11712958267495.00 retail for 1950.00. It's actually one of Roy's better looking speakers. It makes a big speaker not look so big. It's... | |
| Integrated decisions for under $1500 If it's anything like my VTL tiny triodes, I would go for the stingray. You even get the Ultralinear switch if you want to rock & roll. If you want the best tubes, talk to Andy at Vintage Tube Services. | |
