| What is a better speaker than Totem? for = $$$ The Totem Hawk is a very good speaker, the Forest model is even better. I never auditioned the model 1 Sigs, but if size is not a factor, I would look at the Acoustic Zen Adagios. A used pair will cost you between $2200-2500. They are dynamic with... | |

| Why Don't More People Love Audio? Good question. Maybe, they think high-end systems are too complicated to put together for an occasional listening experience. As I commented in a my own thread similar to this one, I often hear from guests that why do I play it (so) loud. I listen... | |
| Can room acoustics amplify the sound of speakers? I want to thank everyone who has contributed to this thread; I have learned a great deal about the electronics of op-amps. My walls are "not barking" at me yet as Davehrab noted about his back wall, but the shouting has not stopped. Two questions ... | |
| Most effective Room Treatment for slap echo, etc It looks like this thread has ran out of gas. Nevertheless,I checked with Gikacoustics and Ats acoustics. Gik provided more informed advice and a AT plan for my room, but the price with shipping is too expensive . Though, I did move the speakers t... | |

| Room Acoustics: Long End vs Short End placement? Digs, If I go with the long wall set-up, I doublt I can get the speakers out more than 18inches from the back glass wall---that would even be pushing it. There is a panel TV on the left side of the room which can only be moved about 1 foot. Drapes... | |
| New Creek Destiny 2 versus Anthem 225 integrated Thanks for responding to my thread. That is a nice set-up your have; beautiful color for the walls also. I know the Anthem is a beast, but I take it that you are not concerned about floor vibration where it sits in your display. Also, would you ch... | |
| Looking for speakers As the above member noted you need to give us some info about your budget and amp. I own AZ Adagio which are excellent speakers, but they can only show there stuff with 100RMS in the room you described. Speaker cables are also very important; I ju... | |
| Putting a "pre-out" to use to get more power?? You both (Stanwal and Elevick) provide good points which I kind of surmised, especially about the "weakness of pre-amp sections in most integrated amps.... Let me add some details. The speakers are Acoustic Zen Adagios. I believer they are 89db ef... | |
| Do you listen alone or with guest s Well, at least I know I am neither loosing my hearing, nor anti-social based on the great response to my thread.... On the issue of playing music loud, I had some people question me about it. However, you are not playing it loud if you are properl... | |
| Conrad Johnson, Krell, Creek integrated amp?? I posted this thread somewhat differently the first time. My question now is focused on a British integrated amp LFD MKIII which will shortly be replaced by the MKIV. It is 60RMS with no remote or phono stage.Its design is minimalist with no indic... | |
| Conrad Johnson, Krell, Creek integrated amp?? To Unsound: Yes, I have considered separates, but reluctantly, because I downsized from them about 5 years ago so as to have less boxes and cables. My only thoughts have been an older Conrad Johnson pre-amp which would be modded by RHB Sound Desig... |
