Salk Songbirds or Totem Arros for bedroom system?
Soulbrass, I've heard the Arro's with a 25W and a 30W tube amps and I found it anemic compared to some of the more powerful amps I've tried. That's just my experience. Of course, that doesn't mean that all 30W amps will fail to adequately drive th... 
Salk Songbirds or Totem Arros for bedroom system?
The Arro's would be excellent for your purposes, but I don't feel that they could be adequately driven by 30 wpc. I suggest at least 40, and preferably 50 wpc (for a tube amp, anyway).I haven't heard the Songbirds, so I can't provide a comparison.... 
best totem speaker
Soundgasm, I agree that the Jolida 302brc is not quite up to the task of powering the Forrests, but it can drive the Hawks adequately. (I use that exact combination sometimes, and it sounds great, especially with chamber music and jazz music.)Michael 
Maggie MMG
Macdadtexas, that's interesting that you find the MMG's good for rock. What are some examples of albums that sound good through the MMG's? It makes sense that if you're listening to compressed music, then the MMG's might not show some of their dow... 
Maggie MMG
You head the Maggies in someone's office?! Wow, I would like an office like that!The MMG's are excellent for the price, within their limitations. They are capable of life-like imaging, but can be fussy about placement (they really need to be pulle... 
Speaker Choice Help for a Jolida 102b
The Paradigm Studio 20's are great speakers for the price, but I don't feel they're a good match for the 102b. I agree with the previous posters about the Klipsch being a better fit. Also, you might look at Coincident Triumphs, as your 102b could ... 
iMac far from audo rack - any suggestions?
I think you're limiting your choices, although a USB to S/PDIF converter isn't a bad idea. Other options include using Toslink directly from the iMac (the mini-Toslink connector is shared with the headphones adapter) and using an ethernet-based sy... 
Name the tube amp in the Lexus commercial
The first time I saw that commercial I was thinking, "Wow, that looks like a Jolida!" I was impressed, too, that one of the things that was being associated with living the high life was having a tube amp. It's interesting that they chose the Joli... 
Inactive audio members that you miss
There are some great answers here. I do miss TWL for his knowledge on everything analog. Sdcampbell had incredible classical and jazz musical knowledge (he does still have an eBay store, though, where he sells LP's -- and I even purchased his book... 
Power amp for PSB Gold i's
I agree with Gbart that you're looking for an amp that can double down. You're looking in the right power range, although I don't think there is a specific wattage that will work with the Goldi's, it just depends on the individual amp and how beef... 
Power amp for PSB Gold i's
The Goldi's need a lot of horsepower. I agree with the Classe suggestion of the previous poster, and would add a Marsh A400 and perhaps an Odyssey or old Carver. Depending on your passive preamp, you might actually be better selling it and using t... 
Anyone Make Budget Flat Speaker Cable?
Radio Shack has some flat speaker wire in bulk spools that is inexpensive and surprisingly good.Michael 
iTunes Windows/Mac interoperability issue
Hmm, I feel your pain. I personally hate iTunes because of it's bizarre file-management methods. I use a Windows machine to rip CD's and put it on my Linux server (and some of these files have very long names), and programmatically create MP3 equi... 
Recording Quality Database
Look it up on Amazon.com. Frequently the user reviews will comment on the recording quality.Michael 
The Emotiva Challenge
Wow, that's one heck of a home theater you have there!Thanks for the info about the Emotiva amp. It's interesting to hear that it could perform so much better than the other amps for home theater use, but not perform as well for music. Perhaps the...
