Is there a perfect speaker?
There seems to be so many parameters that can influence the sound of a speaker, that one wonders why anyone uses speakers. I have a pair of Acoustic Zen Adagios which I like very much. They seem to have one or two sonic flaws. Nevertheless, I am c... 
Rogue's new Sphinx integrated. Anyone audition it?
Goldprintaudio, Thank you for your responseWhat aspects of the sound impressed you the most?? Is it high on the list in musicality and soundstaging?? I have been looking for a few months for a used Creek Destiny 1 or 2, but there been few to none ... 
Looking for a very good integrated solid state amp
Rogue has a new integrated amp callled "The Sphinx" It includes a MM phono stage which will accomodate high output MC's; headphone jack, balance control and.... 100RMS. All for $1295 retail. One drawback is the remote control is extra $100 and onl...

TO WINOGUY: IS IT NECESSARY TO USE LANGUAGE LIKE DICKWAD?? It only illustrates what a low life you are, and not worthy of being a member of this blog. Maybe you should take courses in manners and language skills until you are housebroken,and ready...

Gumby. I am sure the Tab's sound great, and there is a pair of Signatures for sale on AG right now.It is good to hear that Sequerra is still in business. Without getting teary-eyed, it really brings back the grand old days of 1970's audio (Maybe n...

Gummy....Good suggestion regarding the Totem Dreamcatcher and a subwoofer versus Totem Arro. However, I have never been a fan of subwoofers. The theory makes plenty of sense, but the sound is often unpredictable, that is boomy in small roomsThere ...

TO Kclone: Thank you for answering my simple question. Winoguy needs to chill out a bit. For the record, 1) I did have my own thread regarding the VA integrated, with no responses, and it concerned only the Van Alstine 2)I also saw the ad: the pri...

Check out the Van Alstine Snyergy integrated amp. It is plain and some features smartly have been eliminated. It is 100RMS, but I can't find one review. Van Alstine sent me a copy of a review of his power amp; the integrated amp "supposedly" uses ...

What about the Totem Arro as a possible monitor like speaker?? I have heard them, but am concerned about their 4.5 inch woofer providing decent bass and not blowing out. I tend to play it loud, but not headbagger loud.

MO. Thank you for the link to the Stereophile review. I know you are a connoiseur of overachieving components, but have you heard Music Hall's Marimba speakers. Unfortunately, Bob Reina did not review them, but Sam Tellig did and offered little us...

To Mofimadness: Thank you for the recommendation but I think you got the model number wrong of the Pioneer speaker. The model you cited is a center channel speaker.There are many good budget speakers out there, but even a $150 a pair speakers can'...

Thanks to all members who responded so far. 
Difference in quality in products made in China?
Thanks to all who have responded so far. In a global economy, my question may actually be irrelevant. Everybody borrows( or is it steals??) from everybody else. Unfortunately, the days of economic nationalism are long gone. I say unfortunately bec... 
Integrated amp: Can it perform equal to separates?
TO ROGERCR, THANK YOU FOR YOUR RECOMMENDATION OF THE VAN ALSTINE integrated amp. Did you ever have the opportunity of listening to one using CD's. Van Alstine's products are mainly mail order but do offer a 30 day home trial. That's great but I do... 
Integrated amp: Can it perform equal to separates?
Timrhu, I considered the REF 500S and the REF 500 mono blocks, but decided on the Red Dragon blocks. The BC 300S stereo amp comes up occasionally for sale on AG. I am just curious if the BC integrated 300i,(there were two versions: one has a tosli...
